This was our second trip to this resort, we went 4 years ago. The staff were much friendlier the last trip. You could pass staff walking and they would not speak to you. Also a couple that was with us had money stolen out of the safe in their room! The communication regarding return visitor dinners and cocktail party was not very good. One couple with us got a card stating one time and the other couple got a letter stating a different time. Also the front staff was not very good this time at handing out repeat visitor credits/gifts/t-shirts. The entertainment staff are awesome, Ronaldo, Kev, Shania, and Carlos were great. The first morning we ordered our breakfast to be delivered. Called and were told they were in the area but it never came. We went to breakfast and called to cancel the delivery as it never came. The quality has definitely gone down but the price went up. Hope things can change. Also one dinner at Patois for our party of 8 lasted about 3 hours. My entree was placed in front of me and it slid off the base plate and knocked our candle that went out. I caught the plate before anything spilled but the server didn't say sorry, kiss my butt or anything. Need definite improvement to get back to quality of 4 years ago. Read less

Just returned from Couples Swept Away what a lovely resort. The beach was lovely soft sand and the sea was nice and warm. The rooms were lovely and clean however we did have a problem with our first room as it was right next to a very busy road we spoke to reception and they gave us a new room within two days. The restaurants were very good with a wide selection of foods but the two fine dining restaurants were brilliant. Majority of staff were excellent but with a few who had an attitude problem. We were expecting great evening entertainment but it was not too clever especially the reggae night, there was not one reggae song sung. If you are of a nervous disposition do not take the mini bus to this resort as it is a two hour journey, the roads are not very good and the drivers take a lot of risks. However saying this it would not stop me returning. Would have given 5 stars but the entertainment let it down. Read less

The resort is super nice. This resort is especially awesome if you are an active couple/person. They have so many activities to do each day. The fitness center is amazing.

The resort is super nice. This resort is especially awesome if you are an active couple/person. They have so many activities to do each day. The fitness center is amazing. But if you want to relax too it's great for that also. They keep everything really clean from the rooms, to the restaurants, to the grounds, to the beach, etc. Our rooms got cleaned twice a day which was awesome. The food and drinks were excellent. Lemongrass was our favorite. The staff is so friendly. Favorite bartenders: Rick and Al Jay The only cons was the two hour drive to get there from the airport and the golfing. The golf course was about 15 minutes from the resort so really close. But the greens and tee boxes were terrible and barely anyone was there. We still had a good time though. I would recommend this resort to anyone wanting to go to Jamaica. Read less

Our first time visiting couples and it won’t be our last. We had such a wonderful experience. The beds were so comfortable. Best night sleep in a long time. Loved the beach and all the activities. We took out a hobie cat and kayaked. Was incredible!! Did a snorkel ing tour. Saw so many beautiful fish. The buffet had so many choices which was incredible for me as I’m vegan I never went hungry. My husband who’s not vegan said every meal was fabulous the sit down dinning rooms the food was amazing. The piano bar and singer were so much fun. Every morning I went and worked out at the gym and the equipment was like new. Better than my gym at home. This resort is worth all five stars we had the time of our lives. Thanks you Couples for the experience ❤️ Read less

The place was like a hidden oasis - the greenery and foliage made u feel tucked away in a real rain forest. Staff was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable - made us feel right at home! Food was great and selection was wide - asian, continental, greek, caribbean, jamaican - just lovely. Lots of fun stuff to do which we didn't even have time enough to do everything (only there for 3days, 2 nights) - would def recommend at least a week stay. Beach was beautiful! Room and grounds were clean - had just what we needed - soap, shower gel, lotion, shampoo, hair dryer and iron! We're still not sure how they knew it was our anniversary (cos I only mentioned it to one of the staff at the guest services- big up Rajay) and on our anniversary night, we got a surprise bottle of champagne with a card from the resort! Which was sooo nice! All in all a lovely stay and would highly recommend! Read less
