The hotel

The award-winning Couples Sans Souci continues to offer renowned cuisine and first-class service in an elegantly tropical setting. Sans Souci is French for 'without a care', and what could be more appropriate for a laid-back holiday in Jamaica, especially in a resort of this quality? Set into a pretty, 35-acre hillside garden that leads to 2 white sand beaches, the resort offers you a blissful retreat.

Sans souci once again delivers. The food quality remains top shelf, as does the personal service from bartenders and wait staff. However the nude beach is becoming way too busy, and there seems to be an incredible turnover in staff. The quality is great but the faces are changing.

We did a day trade with another couples resort. It is beautiful but too many steps for me. I thought the water was a bit colder due to coming off the bay. Friendly staff and beautiful grounds, but not a place if you can't do many steps.

We had a great time at Couples Sans Souci. The people that work there really make you feel welcome. It was our second time to stay there and it was just as nice as the first! We thought the food was great, the entertainment fun and we met so many people from all over the world. We stayed in the Ocean View suites both times, which is up on the hill and the views are amazing but the rooms need a bit of updating. We will stay in the Beach Front suites on our next visit because we have been told they have been recently renovated. We are looking forward to going back! Read less

Had a great time, suggest beachfront A or B suites for easy access to 2 of the 3 restaurants and easy access to beach...the rooms on the hillside/mountain have beautiful views but is a lot of stairs and hill walking(they supply a quick shuttle if can't walk)..the beach is nice and clean but if in for long beach walks you get about a 4 minute walk… Read more
Had a great time, suggest beachfront A or B suites for easy access to 2 of the 3 restaurants and easy access to beach...the rooms on the hillside/mountain have beautiful views but is a lot of stairs and hill walking(they supply a quick shuttle if can't walk)..the beach is nice and clean but if in for long beach walks you get about a 4 minute walk end to end as resort is in a inlet between rocky mountains. The rooms are spacious and bathroom is huge with 2 sinks(at kitchen counter height...nice!!) there is a big 50"+ tv in room on swivel mount to move when in bed or sitting on couch. The mini bar is stocked daily and has a order list daily for what you would like. There is a keurig machine in room as well with regular and decaf coffee. The nicest thing about this resort was the lack of needing money to tip as all staff will not accept anything(stated strictly forbidden for couples resorts) so this alleviates needing anything or feeling bad because you didn't(we discreetly tipped anyways on occasion). The diving was 2 a day for free and was very convenient as the boat and dive station was right there owned by resort, we did a lot of the same dives but was enjoyable and great just to walk out of room wearing wetsuit and carrying gear down to beach!!!! All in all the food was good and there was different options most of the week. Parts of the resort are dated but kept up well, being carved into a mountain i can see why even the small upgrade would be a huge adventure. Read less

My wife and I have visited the Couples Resort in Negril 5 times, CSA once and CN 4 times, so we are fans of the couples brand. We enjoy the real Jamaican vibe from this family run resort! Saw Mr. Issa on property many times. We very much enjoyed our trip to CSS as it was a new adventure but still at Couples. The property here is gorgeous, landscaping is unique and tropical, all the little coves and hiding places around CSS are so fun to discover! Our room was in the B block. Very nice -and couples gave us a free upgrade here. Food was better then expected, a level up from CN in our opinion. Beach was great! We used all beaches and enjoyed the swim up bar and hot tubs very much. Having lunch served right on SSB was great! We loved the pool area and sitting on the beach! Only cons we have are the amount of stairs throughout resort and that the ocean on SSB is rocky and a little chilly.......so we did miss bloody bay in this respect. But ever’ting Irie Mon! Great place to go, it is awesome! The staff was smiling and seemed to enjoy themselves at work. We also did a trading places at Tower isle, what a fun day trip! We celebrated our 25th anniversary here and will be back!!! Read less
