Jamaica

Introduction

I go to Jamaica for at least 2 weeks each year. You think I know every thing about this island, but because I go there to escape my busy life, my main goal is to chill, so I don’t have a list of 50 Things You Can DO in Jamaica. To me this is a good thing, because it’s easy to get overwhelmed when there is a multitude of possibilities. Scroll down to see everything or use the quick links below to view specific sections.

Places To Stay

Couples Resort - Why we Stay Here

The Couples franchise is a small collection of 4 resorts located in Ocho Rios and Negril

  1. The first part of the name: Couples. Meaning couples only, Which means adults only, which mean NO KIDS. This is a big deal for people, who don’t want someone else’s kids interrupting their zen thing, to borrow a phase from Tron. When I take my grandkids to Jamaica, there’s another resort I like, and I’ll get to that later.

  2. They are truly all-inclusive. Food is included Alcohol is included. Room service. Tips. Diving (Seriously. If you’re Certified, diving is included. They do at least 2 dive a day). Going to Dunn’s river Falls, That’s included: Couples does a great job at making you feel like you’re getting your money’s worth.

  3. The chill vibes. The rooms are beautiful, the staff makes you feel like you’re at home, and the atmosphere is conducive to total relaxation. For me it comes down to this: I can take naps whenever I want too.

  4. The food. I was raised to be a major food snob by my food snob parents who always took the family to 5-stars hotels in big cities and made us try escargot and other fancy food. who took us to different places around the world, and who taught me how to make elegant things in the kitchen from scratch. When I say that the food at Couples Resort is really good, it has to be true.

  5.  The rewards program. I’m not about to turn this into a brochure about their rewards program. I’ll just say that it’s very good. The more night you stay, the more credit get added to your account, which to me translates into free massages and stuff from the gift shop.
