Couples Tower Isle

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Star rating

The hotel

Only open to couples, it doesn’t just feature four pools, and private beach, it also has its own private island – just in case you prefer your sunbathing au naturel. The team whisks you there by boat to sunbathe in seclusion, or to drink at its swim-up bar. While, back at base, Couples Tower Isle spoil you with its beach bar flag service, a twice-weekly Martini hour on the roof, water sports like scuba-diving and hydro biking, and a spa. Retreat back to your private villa for a more secluded and intimate environment, where your private pool is a real standout feature. Plus villa guests receive private villa check-in, personalised service and exclusive amenities.

This was our second visit here and it was even better than the first!! This resort has many, many positives and for us, only 2 negatives. The negatives: The beach is not great The water pressure was not good at all. The positives: Room is clean, comfortable and cold!! AC works great, plenty of closet space. Free mini bar. Room service all day!! Our room attendant did a great job. The food is fantastic!! We did not have bad meal anywhere. Everything is so fresh and delicious. Coffee shop 7AM-10PM! Bar service is top notch. Most bartenders have a special drink or shot they invented themselves. Make sure you ask! GO TO THE ISLAND!!! Pools are great. The staff is awesome. So friendly, good morning, how are you, what can I get you etc. Go to the piano bar and get an espresso martini. Fabulous!!!! Resort is small, easy to get everywhere, nothing is more than like a 3 minute walk. Treat yourself to a massage. It was soooo relaxing. Everything is included, food, drink, water sports, catamaran cruise, scuba and no tipping! Plus a lounge at the airport and a free shuttle in a nice cool van to the resort. Make sure you tip your driver, he doesn’t work for Couples. I seriously could go on and on about Tower Isle! Some people that really stood out: Sanjay “Da Man” at the island pool bar. Make sure you have him make you a Jamaican Fire Girl. Yum!!! Kirk the bellman who will start your vacation off on the right foot!! Terry-Ann and Antroy at the Patio, always hustling!! Audrey and Samantha at the spa Devon at Verandah Rashard and Ajay at Bayside, I have an extremely sensitive palate and they made sure my meal was perfect!! Read less

My husband and I have returned from a fabulous romantic elopement at the Tower Couples Isle and have been impressed with the level of service, diligence and overall attentiveness. I was initially dubious when reading the reviews prior to our arrival, and to be frank yes - the hotels interior is slightly dated and this will need work to improve the aesthetic, however the hotel is clean and this makes up for the dated decor. I understand from reading other reviews this sets the hotel aside from the huge hotels that are contemporary, but lack the rustic Carribean feel. Special shouts outs to Paulette our wedding officiant, who went over and beyond to ensure I was rest assured with all the finer details leading up to our day. Thank you! Tessa - thank you for styling my hair, you saw 1 image and passed the assignment with flying colours! Thank you for being so patient with me and helping me to achieve the look I had anticipated for my special day! My husband and I also had a couples massage this was excellent. Highly recommend a trip to the spa! Whitley - This special lady is an absolute asset to the hotel and goes over and beyond to ensure everyone is looked after! Her expresso martinis are an absolute delight and were one of my favourites after dinner. Whitley is funny, professional, has a beautiful warmth and charm about her! Thank you for making are stay even more special girl! Big up yourself! DJ Bourbon is a super talented DJ - to play music, create and keep the vibe going is no easy task when there are different groups of people with different interests in music to satisfy! Well done very impressive! There are too many staff members to mention. Everyone takes pride in their roles and this is truly wonderful to see. All food is of good quality and you will not go hungry. The patties are the highlight in the pool bar grill a must try and do get them promptly as they finish at certain times of the day. No towel cards needed which makes like easier. Just provide room number and exchange when needed. The ATM tends to run out of money, therefore plan ahead of your trip if you wish to use cash. Lots of water sports and entertainment in the patio restaurant. Piano bar was another favourite of ours. We enjoyed the sing along night! Thank you Tower Couples Ilse we will be back! Read less

Couples Tower Isle (aka: CTI) has repeatedly proven to be the best all inclusive resort we’ve found in Jamaica.

Couples Tower Isle (aka: CTI) has repeatedly proven to be the best all inclusive resort we’ve found in Jamaica. Obviously, it depends on your taste but for a couple that isn’t looking for chaos on vacation, you won’t find a better place. First things: it is couples only (no singles) and NO KIDS!! This is my favorite part since I don’t want rug rats running around unsupervised while I’m trying to enjoy paradise. The experience starts from the second you get through customs and find the Couples lounge in the airport. From that point forward, you are treated like royalty. All of the staff is excited to see you, greets you, thanks you, and shows true appreciation for your presence. There may be fancier or “nicer” resorts but none have the service and attitude that CTI brings. The resort is smaller - I’d call it a boutique resort in that the room count is fairly less than big chain resorts. The rooms are very nice and comfortable. Ocean view rooms are beautiful and give you stunning views of the sunrise/sunsets. Food options are plentiful. They have several restaurants with only half needing reservations but even then, it’s not hard to get booked. If you have food allergies/celiac, the chef & staff go more than an extra mile to make sure you’re taken care of and can enjoy as much of the food as possible. For the adventurers, the au natural island is fun. The people that go there are welcoming and friendly (not “that” kind of friendly”). It is a non-sexual place and the staff is quick to address anyone trying to push the boundaries. The bartenders make great drinks and don’t burn them. It’s not a race to get drunk - it’s a marathon of enjoying your time. The resort will help book any excursions you want to take and set you up for success to enjoy them to the fullest. Transportation is handled from start to finish. They tell you where to be and when so you don’t have to worry about a thing. Tipping is NOT allowed but some have slipped the staff a little monetary “thank you” before. There is a nightly entertainment feature that rotates but the loud parts are complete by 10pm so the only noise you hear from bed is the waves. All in all, if you want a relaxing, slow paced, enjoyable stay, give Couples a shot. I’ve stayed at San Souci and CTI but prefer CTI. Read less

In short, our experience wildly exceeded our expectations. We never go anywhere twice, but we will break that rule and return here because the staff have become our friends and some like family. The grounds of the resort are beautiful. Pictures really don’t do it justice. It doesn’t have all the marble window dressing of some of the newer resorts. However, the quality of the experience greatly exceeds the comparable places we have been in Mexico, Hawaii, and other places. As others have often said, don’t write off the island and try it early. We are in our 30s and thought we wouldn’t like it and would give it a shot and leave. We ended up spending every single day there. The staff and the other vacationers were the most amazing people we’ve met in our life. We will have lifelong friendships from the island. The ocean crashing onto the rocks will melt your stress, and the pool is a refreshing choice to meet people and have a great time. Everyone is amazing, but we had a few standouts. Tahjay B is the best bartender at the resort and kept us supplied with amazing beverages. I highly recommend his frozen mojitos and dirty bananas. Martin spent time with us and we got to share stories and learn about the Jamaican culture. He is wise beyond his years. Ronaldinho brought the entertainment and is the social center of everywhere he goes. We can’t wait to visit our new friends again. One thing that was different than expected was the ages of the other vacationers. We heard it skewed older and it didn’t at all, at least in June. There were 20s all the way to retirees, but mostly 30-50. What’s special is it doesn’t matter. Everyone all hung out together and had the best time. The food lived up to its reputation as the best all inclusive food we’ve had. The soups are especially incredible, but they do some really amazing work with sweet potatoes too. I would say the only person this resort is not for is someone looking for opulence, but that’s not the magic here. We spent almost no time in our room. We stayed in the ocean jr suite and it was magnificent, but next time we will probably downgrade because we spent no time there. The entertainment was also better than expected. Brittany was amazing to hang out with during the day and then brought the house down with her singing. The Silver Birds were also among our favorite. Genuine standing ovations happened for those shows. We are terribly sad to leave but already have our next vacation planned for this December!! The Beadel’s have made a second home here at Couples Tower Island! Read less
