How to choose the right Couples Resort to suit your unique travel style
Couples Tower Isle and Couples Sans Souci are located in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The closest airport is Montego Bay, however you may alternatively choose to fly into Ocho Rios, Jamaica instead. There are no direct flights from Canada, but there are direct flights from Miami. Tip - look for flights from your local airport to both cities, you may find there is an opportunity for savings choosing one or the other to arrive and depart from. It would be our pleasure to book your flights for you as part of our services as a travel agency. Email us travel@princeadventures.com to start the conversation. These two resorts are perfect if you plan to visit the natural waterfall at Dunn’s River Falls. Climbing it is a sensational experience and you can relax at the beach if you’re waiting for your travel companions to complete the hike. Water shoes are required to participate and a guide is a good choice to avoid slipping and providing you the smoothest route up. As a suggestion, we tipped our guide $30 USD for the two of us. Tipping your falls hiking guide is discretionary.
Couples Negril and Couples Swept Away are located in Negril, Jamaica. The closest airport is Montego Bay, Sangster International Airport. Tip - if you’re looking to pair your stay and see two resorts on one vacation, consider pairing these two resorts. We do not recommend you pair one of the Negril resorts with one of resorts in Ocho Rios. The transfer time between cities where the resorts are located is approximately 3.5 hours. Who wants to spend their vacation on lengthy transportation between destinations? Not us! Alternatively for a split stay vacation where you stay at two different resorts, you could pair Couples Tower Isle and Couples Sans Souci. Although the resorts located nearby one another, they offer ‘Trading Places’ on certain days of the week, so guests have the opportunity to stay at one and spend the day at the other.
All Couples resorts are boutique in size and design. Each resort is beautifully designed with traditional Caribbean architecture. No building is taller than three stories and all Couples resorts promise a relaxing and romantic experience. Tip - the country of Jamaica is not 2SLGBTQI+ friendly, so we do not recommend it for a romantic or honeymoon destination for same sex couples. It is still illegal to be in a homosexual relationship in Jamaica, and for that reason, it is not the best destination choice for out individuals. Couples Resorts does welcome all travellers, so if you want to visit Jamaica specifically, this may be a good fit for you and your same sex partner. Ask us for recommendations for more inclusive destinations for your all-inclusive holiday, we’d be happy to support your planning.
If we were to capture each resort with just a few simple words, we’d offer you these for assessing which may fit your needs and wants best.

If you are celebrating a milestone birthday, anniversary, or achievement like retirement or overcoming a health challenge, we invite you to reach out to us to help customize your special vacation with optional enhancements. Consider a private beach dinner for two. Ask us to book private transportation round trip from the airport ensuring you and your loved one have the smoothest of transfers. Plan to include a romantic sunset cruise. Tip, we recommend planning this activity early on during your vacation, that way, if due to inclement weather it has to be cancelled, you have time to reschedule. We can even make spa reservations for you like a couples massage, so that you can feel relaxed and have a soothing gentle start to a day followed by room service lunch in your suite.
Planning a destination wedding or vow renewal? We have a Certified Wedding Planner on our team who can support your wedding vision and take the stress out of planning a group travel experience. If we were to rank the Couples Resorts in order of best to least best for a beach wedding, top choice goes to Couples Swept Away, then Couples Negril, followed by Couples Sans Souci. At Couples Tower Isle you can have a beach wedding, but the beach is much smaller, however there are two alternatives - on the island, which would be very private, or in a beautiful garden and lawn area. Tell us your vision, and we can pair your perfect resort with the right resort.
