“Honest Review”

Couples Tower Isle

4 of 5 stars
Buffalo, NY
Feb 24, 2008
2/7 found this review helpful

Many of the previous reviews about this property were pretty dead-on accurate. Our room was the Deluxe Ocean Front, it was relatively clean. But our bath tub had a permanent pretty bad stain. The beach was small and we found many seaweeds on the shore. Wave on the water was pretty strong as it was almost always pretty windy.

Now, having said all the above, the service we received was truly outstanding and made the world of difference!!! Every single person from front desk to restaurant staff always made sure that you had a good time. They will try their best to meet your requests. To me this was truly outstanding, especially given the fact that they knew not to expect tips from the guest but still went above and beyond to make sure the guests were enjoying themselves.

We did the Couples Secret Rendezvous, but I did want to stay in this resort because it offered the most activities comparing to the other Couples resorts, even other all-inclusive resorts. We really enjoyed the horseback riding although the drive up there was horrible. The guides at the White River Valley where we went horseback riding were also outstanding.

Catamaran cruise was also a must! We had so much fun and I just had to download the "Big Bamboo" song as soon as we arrived back in the U.S. :)

We bought some souvenirs from the craft market across the street from the resort. At first they were pretty aggressive but after coming back the second time, they remembered us and were actually very friendly.

We had no problem with choosing the activities and restaurants on the time that we requested. We pretty much got everything we wanted. Food was very good. I love their papayas!!! The grill was also awesome.

Immigration coming to Jamaica was painful as it took us 30mins to wait in line. Once we picked up our bags, we waited at the Couples lounge and had some Red Stripes while we waited for the driver. We had 2 suitcases for both of us so no need to deal with the porter.

I hope with the renovation this summer, they made improvements to their older rooms. Because once they do that, their resort will be the absolute best experience for a relaxing vacation!!!

“Good romantic getaway”

2/11 found this review helpful

Very nice place but hard to get to. We took a shuttle from the airport to the hotel which took almost two hours. Bumpy and curvy. The driver was great and even stoped so my wife and I could use the restroom. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was okay and some of the meats were spicy. I really loved the Jamaican beer. My wife and I went shopping near by just watch for the drug pushers. They were always trying to sell us a joint or two. We also went for a horseback ride in the mountain that was very beautiful and I learned alot about their culture. This resort also has a little island in front of the resort that is all nude. My wife and I were going to go but never did. Im a little shy. The night life was entertaining and also relaxing. We had a good time.

“LOVE COR”

Couples Tower Isle

Feb 6, 2008
14/52 found this review helpful

It really would be difficult NOT to have a great time at COR. It is a very beautiful, well-appointed resort right on the beach!!! The Carribean food is delicious and abundant and the rooms are clean and vibrant.
Here is a short list of the best and possibly worst about COR:
Best
1) ITs in Jamaica -everything is no problem man (including the ganja)
2) Very friendly and fun staff- everyone is having a good time here
3) Authentic Carribean food served at the main buffet plus many other options at the three other restaurants
4) Beautiful rooms- our deluxe ocean room suite was 2 metres from the ocean
5) Small intimate feel- very romantic
6) REGGAE played at all times
7) Lots of fun activities, including Tower Island for the adventurist type

Worst
1) Small beach- nice and close to heavenly food and drink, BUT no strolls on the beach its closed of by peer and rock
2) Late Night entertainment- after the band stops at 11pm there is nothing but the piano bar (small, indoor bar for drunk singing)
3) If the weather is bad the beach isn't combed and is full of gargabe washed in from the tide (I pitied the visitors who arrived on a bad day, it was like a different world)
I was able to think of a few disadvantages but I wouldn't be discouraged; on a sunny day the place is pure heaven!!

“Pure Heaven for us!”

Couples Tower Isle

5 of 5 stars
Ashtabula, Ohio
Feb 3, 2008
10/49 found this review helpful

We went to Couples for our 20th wedding anniversary, I booked the trip for us and 2 other couples, I did a lot of research and reading of reviews before finally picking this resort. I was apprehensive since I made all the plans but they were completely unfounded. We had a wonderful time. This resort has what I always thought a carribean feel would be. It's NOT a new shiny hotel with fine fancy ammenities but it is most certainly up to par and then some. As soon as we got there from our 2 hour ride from the airport we were met with cool towels and icy drinks, filled out paperwork and were up to our rooms in about 10 minutes. We all had Deluxe Ocean View Rooms, all had spectacular views, clean bedroom and bathroom.
The food and drinks were abundant, the staff extremely friendly and always willing to help. We were never hungry or thirsty. There were activities if you wished to participate. They are closing this resort in April of 2008 until December of 2008 for renovations, I hope they don't destroy the feel of it. All 6 of us didn't want to leave and are already talking about our return trip.
