Couples Tower Isle, Jamaica - Hotel Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"Modern decor and brightly colored murals are the aesthetic at this 226-room, adults-only, all-inclusive resort in Ocho Rios. And when we say all-inclusive, we mean everything —spa treatments, a catamaran cruise, short off-site excursions to Dunn’s River Falls, and golf greens fees, and transfers. Rooms, with ocean or garden views, have furnished balconies and yellow and green accents. Couples also offers access to a small private island where guests can sunbathe in the buff. At the end of the night, go for cocktails at the ’50s-style piano bar—themed music parties are a big deal here. A packed daily schedule of activities could keep you busy all day, but take time out to languish in your private plunge pool if staying in one of the Spa Villas."

"Style Bytes I’m not usually an all-inclusive-hotel fan. I like the intimacy of an inn or a boutique hotel. I can really appreciate when some of the larger hotels pay attention to details and style that makes for intimacy in a more mass market setting. Couples Tower Isle in Ocho Rios is such a success story. “All inclusive and style?” you question……..yes, the perfect couple here! The rooms include fabulous vintage styled rattan furniture and their vignettes in their main lobby area in particular are wonderful and indicative of this new breed of large hotel. Pops of colour, cozy corners and modern artwork were among my favourites………..Oh and the porridge as well at the breakfast buffet! By Tracy Barry"

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at Couples Tower Isle, and this place made us fall in love with Jamaica—we will definitely be back. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by some of the kindest people we’ve ever met. The service was top-notch, delivered consistently by every staff member we encountered. The amenities are excellent, as you would expect for the price; however, it’s the people who truly breathe life into this resort and make it what it is. Many of the staff have been with Couples for over 10 years, and it shows in the pride and care they bring to their work. I would recommend Couples to anyone, but Couples Tower Isle is truly special. As the first resort of its kind, it set the standard and continues to lead the way. The Spa Villas were absolutely amazing and appear to be among the newest additions to the property. We were also treated to a Silver Birds performance and a wide variety of fantastic nightly entertainment. To anyone reading this review, do yourself a favor: if you make the trip, take the time to interact with and learn about the lives and backgrounds of the incredible staff. People like Ronaldinho (Ron), Anita, Byron, Merika, Ahjay, and many others made our stay unforgettable. Couples Tower Isle was a wonderful place for my wife and me to spend our first Christmas as a married couple. The people, the island, and this resort renewed our spirits and gave us memories we will cherish forever.

Our stay at CTI was very good. This was our first time in Jamaica, and we were excited to stay at Couples. I did a lot of research before choosing this resort, and I’m glad I did. The staff were friendly and pleasant to deal with throughout our stay. I loved the location and the beach, and the food was good overall. However, we were expecting to see more local fruits and dishes such as mangoes, Genips, fried plantains, and breadfruit. While the food was enjoyable, our expectations were a bit different in that regard. The most disappointing experience for me was the shopping trip. We were excited to support the local community, especially after Hurricane Melissa, but we were taken to a plaza owned by Indian businesses. There is nothing wrong with that, but I had hoped the excursion would focus more on supporting local Jamaican vendors. Everything else was very good. We especially enjoyed the included Catamaran Sunset Cruise, and the water sports team were friendly and made our time on the water fun and memorable. The bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the nature walk around the property with Alfred, he was very knowledgeable and took time to explain about the various plants and trees on the property. As a cat lover, I was also happy to see the cats on the property that was a bonus for me. Overall, I would return to Couples in the future, but I would choose a different location, possibly Negril, for a change of scenery.

Rooms are a bit dated as much of Jamaica is, however my house is also dated. It’s fine :) Common areas/ restaurants/ outdoors are gorgeous and likely where the bulk of the money goes. Amenities are top notch, you will always find something fantastic to eat and drink from poolside burgers to formal dining. The entertainment crew keeps it lively if that’s what you’re into, the spa and grounds crew keeps in serene if that’s more your speed. The Au Natural island is really an amazing feature. There is a swim up bar on one end and a quieter place to relax on the other. They also bring food and entertainment to the island so there’s no need to get dressed to get anything. There is a bathroom and snorkel access as well. We had a jetted tub room overlooking the island and the views were spectacular, though I’m sure the garden views are as well. Everyone we met has been upbeat, energetic and made us feel not only welcome but special. We booked here after the hurricane changed our original plans, but we are already making plans to come back. Thank you CTI!

The best all inclusive I have ever been to. The staff are incredible, so friendly and helpful. The resort is exceptionally clean. The food is amazing and always fresh, the beach lovely, the island an awesome option and the main pool has both shaded and sunny places to lounge.

Recommended this hotel by friends who have been many times and who like the same places as us. ||The hotel was clearly glorious back in the day. The layout is great and being a small ish hotel nothing is too far away. It is ready for a good deep clean throughout and some areas are in need of a refresh/refurbishment. ||The best member of staff by a mile was Kirk, in the reception area. Some others were ok, they would maybe say good morning/afternoon back to you, in a 4 or 5 star hotel I've usually found staff see that part of their job is to be outwardly friendly even if they don't feel like it, and I'd say not even saying a hello falls short. We were an inconvenience. There were some younger staff who were a little shy but definitely have potential with more experience be great and I hope they get some mentoring to help them along the way. ||The best food was the soups, they tasted fresh and had flavour. ||The beach and the higher pool were nice. Lots of wasps around the pool attracted by the lounger tables not being cleaned but I took some wet wipes and did a few myself and it improved a bit. Love the loungers in the pool as being so hot it was nice to take a book to sit in the water. ||The drinks were ok, you have to go to the coffee shop to get your espresso if you want to order an espresso martini, I like to be super lazy when I'm away so this put me off! But plenty of other cocktails and options.

We have stayed here several times over the years, we have a lot of ❤️ for CTI. It has such a lovely vibe. ||||Staff are hard working, doing a fantastic job, being warm and welcoming, polite, friendly and helpful, giving great service with a smile. Really good choice of restaurants serving a good variety of delicious food. Our favourites were Eight Rivers and Bayside. We received excellent house keeping.||The updated Patio bar is a great improvement, lots of bar stools, great view's to relax with delicious cocktails, and all the overhead fans are now working, which is great 👍||||Shame a few things were disappointing. Dirty plates and cups were being left outside all night and the next day by jacuzzi. The small sun bed tables aren't being cleaned regularly, most days they still had last nights sticky drink spills. They don't seem to be on top of things like they used to be.||Bars ran out of stuff, rum cream and Baileys were out for several nights. ||Part of the beach looks pretty sad with rubble and rocks, the sand has washed away from the steps leaving a big drop and its not that easy to get down from the steps to the beach anymore. Water fountain on 4th floor block 4 is still not working.||||We enjoyed our stay and had a great time. Weather was good, hot and sunny mornings, just a few afternoon showers, well we were in hurricane season.||We met some lovely people, made friends and we will definitely return. Hopefully it will be back on top form by then 🙏 🤞

Wonderful experience at this resort. Food, staff and service was top notch. Buffet was always plentiful and varied. Top shelf alcohol. All the restaurants we tried were delicious. Older resort so some areas are a bit dated but they are currently updating. Not a huge beach but Beautiful and more private feeling. Loads of lounge chairs and spots with varying levels of sun. Rooms were so clean, fridge stocked. Lush garden to explore in the front. We will definitely be back.
