Couples Swept Away

We stayed for a week at this lovely resort as part of a large wedding party. In general we found the resort to be very clean with staff working throughout the day to maintain this with a smile and always a hello. The staff we met were all outstanding…. Every single one ensured we enjoyed our holiday. Miss Talibud in the breakfast service was simply delightful and we shall always remember her bright smile and warm welcome. She is a superstar. During our stay I injured my foot in an accident (not anything to do with the hotel… my husband did it) and the nurse was fabulous and took care of me even though it was midnight. She checked in with me the rest of our stay after a rather expensive visit to the local clinic. Our room was close to reception and the main road. Yes we did hear vehicles occasionally but it was not an issue. The frogs chorus at night lulled us to sleep. The mini bar was filled at request and a simple morning breakfast was delicious. The food was simple but delicious in the buffet… it was repetitive at times. The feathers and lemongrass were fabulous evenings and we enjoyed the atmosphere, food and service. The beach was stunning and we did find a lounger very early in the morning and this was fine for us. The vendors were up and down throughout the day and no worse than Mexico or the Dominican Republic. Security were keen to ensure that they were not a nuisance. A small smile and no thanks once was enough to be left alone. We did have a couple of experiences with other guests who were extremely loud who over powered the whole restaurant and areas on the beach front. They were drunk and obnoxious to be honest. These are the people who were disrespectful of others and the resort. The staff found it difficult to contain these guests at times and I felt embarrassed for them. We have visited many hotels around the world and yes this was a rather expensive week. Yes there were things that could be improved. But my goodness we had a blast and loved every minute.

We traveled to Couples Swept Away for nine days in April. Our room was an Ocean Verandah Suite and was well worth the money. I was concerned about the condition of the resort before we left home. The management and staff have worked really hard to make things as they were before the Hurricane We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect nine days. The weather was sunny and warm, the beach a beautiful shade of blue, and both food and entertainment were great. Our room was cleaned daily and there was turn down service in the evenings. The little bathroom huts on the beach were also very clean. I would walk the resort path in the early morning, and I would see lots of staff out cleaning the different areas. We did have a few issues with getting reservations at both the Lemon Grass and Feathers. But by the end of the week, we were able to acquire those reservations. Our favorite by far was the Lemon Grass. We attended the Repeat Dinner which was hosted by the resort. As usual we thought food was outstanding and we got a chance to talk to a few of the managers. My husband was curious about the number of different palms on the resort and if there were any plans for additional palapas. He was told more palapas were planned and there were 79 species of palms. Although the resort looks great with the natural look, I think most folks would welcome an area that would provide some umbrellas or palapas for shade. We walked down to the Hi Lo store which was close to the resort. I bought a few Red Stripe beers in their new flavors, lemon and mango. I think both flavors would be a great addition to the bars on the resort. I also purchased Rum Cream and Banana Chips to take home. Both purchases were much cheaper at Hi Lo than at the airport. Be warned that all prices are in Jamaican currency, so a bit of math is involved to figure out your price. We’ve been to Couples Swept Away many times. As always, the trip was a success, and I can honestly say without hesitation that the beach is probably the prettiest I’ve ever seen.

We just got back from a wonderful stay,wedding,and honeymoon. We got married there and everything was perfect! Food was great no matter where we went on property. It was just the two of us so our wedding on the beach was intimate and perfect. The all inclusive activities included snorkeling, water sports, swimming in a cave, among many other activities. I gave it a 4 out of a 5 because the vendors on the beach bother you nonstop , every time you look at them or walk by them .

Everything was perfect. We enjoyed our stay very much. Food was delicious and service was great. But sometimes we did not have enough beach towels in our room and had to call the room service. After all it was assume vacation!

My husband and I recently stayed at Couples Swept Away, and it exceeded all of our expectations, and more. We’re already looking forward to going back. It’s easy to see why they have so many repeat guests. Check-in was quick and seamless, and we were escorted to our room right away. The beach completely took our breath away, the water was a stunning turquoise blue, and the sand was incredibly soft with no rocks at all. We loved taking long walks along the shore and spent most of our time there because it was just that beautiful. The resort has two pool areas, both very nice, but the beach was the highlight for us. We also really appreciated how easy it was to find lounge chairs, even later in the morning, whether in the sun or shade and close to the water...something that’s often a challenge at other resorts. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We stayed on the third floor above Patois Patio and had a lovely view of the ocean, beach, and sunsets. I could not hear any noise from the other rooms around. The food across the resort was fantastic, everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. There wasn’t a single meal we didn’t enjoy. We also took advantage of the included activities and especially loved the snorkeling and sunset catamaran cruise...both were so much fun and definitely worth doing. A special thank you to Kimberly, who kept our room spotless and surprised us daily with beautiful towel arrangements. I also want to mention Anthony, the gardener, who greeted me each morning on my way to or from the gym. He was so friendly and welcoming, and you can see how much care he puts into keeping the grounds looking lush and beautiful, he truly brightened my mornings. All of the staff, from the restaurants to the bars, were warm, upbeat, and genuinely friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. This was exactly the relaxing getaway we were hoping for, and we can’t wait to return.
