Named by Travel + Leisure in 2011 as the "World's Best Hotel Spa in the Caribbean" and as #26 in the "Top Hotels in the World", Couples Tower Isle isn't just one of the best resorts in Jamaica; it's one of the world's best resorts. The couples-only resort's beachfront paradise boasts Tower Isle: a private island accessible only by boat, and the only place where couples can enjoy nude sunbathing. The swim-up bar on the island puts premium liquor in the rum punch, so you can bathe nude in the lap of luxury.

Amazing Anniversary
We picked Couples Tower Isle because of the rating it received on Cheap Caribbean's website. After I booked everything I read some of the negative reviews and it got me nervous. When we arrived we were warmly greeted by Kirk from bell services. He showed us to our room, a premier ocean view room, and giving us a short tour of the resort along the way. The room was very clean and is a nice size. The balcony overlooked the pool and beach with a great view of the island. The bed was comfortable, I believe a memory foam, a little soft for my taste but no issues. There is a flat screen TV in the room that you wont use LOL. a large bathroom with walk in shower. All in all very nice. The resort is showing some wear at the edges but is very clean and well appointed. The staff is constantly working on keeping the appearance sharp and overall the resort has a slightly swanky feel. All the staff are super friendly and you will get to know them during your stay, we were taking photos with them by our 4th day. There are tons of places to sit and relax around the resort and all have amazing views either of the lush vegetation or the OMG Blue ocean.
The beach is private and small but not crowded, the sand they say is white but id say tan is more accurate but soft as talcum powder under your feet. Night Life Galore! starting with dinner in a casual (Patio Restaurant) all the up to Slacks and Collared Shirt required (8 Rivers) restaurant of your choice. Our Favorites were Bayside and The Verandah. The Piano bar is a great place for drinks and music and if you catch the Piano Sing Along with Craigen (sp) it is a MUST! very funny and a great time! We also loved the rooftop Martini Bar, great views and great drinks! We cannot wait to come back and enjoy this resort and the staff again! Excellent Place to relax and or play. 5 Stars!

Great stay and great value.
My wife and I had a wonderful time. Great clean room, plenty of activities that are included in the price like the coral reef tour or the catteraman unlike Sandals. We enjoyed Sandals La Toc when we went but any activities were extra and the resort had a bunch of stray cats everywhere that constantly came up to you while we were eating which we weren't fans of. We were at Couples tower isle for 5 days and only saw a cat once and it took off when it saw us.
The food at Tower isle was great especially Bayside and Eight Rivers, make sure you make your reservations. Our only gripe was that the breakfast options were lacking sometimes. If it weren't for that I would have gave dining a 5.
The staff was great, especially Jermaine. He went out of his way to help us in anyway. Their spa is phenomenal. Beautiful facilitie with great staff. Also the bar staff is not stingy with the drinks. We didn't receive any watered down drinks. Their rum punch has turned me into a rum drinker and my reccomend a drink called Cotton candy.
It's more of a laid back resort. You come here to chill vs party as much. They do have lounge that's like their club but we went mid Oct and there weren't as many guests or most of them were 60 plus. We still had a great time though.
I rely so heavily on reviews when making purchases but I never leave any but I wanted to make sure to leave one for Couples Tower Isle.
our honeymoon was absolutely amazing , and we stayed at the best place on the island! Couples tower isle is paradise! I feel Ik love with the island, and understand why people go back so many times! Food was amazing, and service was 5 star! Would definitely recommend!!!
This was my third trip to Couples Tower Isle and we have already booked our next trip for January (only 99 days but who's counting). The staff truly make you feel like family and are amazing at every moment. If you encounter any small problems they address them quickly and always want to ensure that you are truly satisfied. Our friends that stayed with us was not happy with the view in their room so they showed them a couple other rooms and moved them upon arrival to ensure they were happy, no problem. We had an issue with our ipod player not working, we called it in and they fixed it right away. The food at this resort is by far the best of any resort we have ever visited and has now set the bar very high for us. Eight Rivers is our favorite. You have to try the soup at all of the restaurants. I don't eat soup at home very often but ate it daily while staying here and loved every one that I tried. The Catamaran cruise was with a third party this time and was not nearly as much fun as it was in the past but it was nice to be out on the ocean. I wouldn't do it again unless it was on the couples owned catamaran which picks you up at the resort, the GM told me that it was based on the weather on which one they use for the day. We did a ton of watersports and spent quite a bit of time out on the island. For those who think they can't do the island, just give it a shot! You will meet the nicest, non judgmental people there. I can't say enough good things about this resort and look forward to our next trip.

No, there are 108 islands that make up Bermuda, 700 hundred mi. off the Carolina coast. No nudity either that I know of, it is a British island....

Yes - by purchasing a day pass.
billywendy
No. You must be staying at Couples Tower Isle to be able to visit the au natural island.
KayciePosey
If it's another Couples Resort.
SBritt
NO it is exclusive for tower isle's guests only. IMO it's one of the reasons what makes tower isle special from all the other resorts.
pongkie
I think the only ones who can visit are the couples from San Soui Resort in Jamaica. It is the other Couples resort in Ocho Rios
Littlegirlz
I know that people from Couples San Souci (which is 5 min away) came over to Couples Tower Isle and vice versa. So I would say yes. It didn't seem that security was checking your guest credentials at the door. Hope this helps.
maddawg172
Only from another couples resort.
Rysty400
Yes, all of the resorts in that area have access to the nude island.

You have to be registered at Couples.

We only saw people in swimsuits on the main beach. The private island is totally no clothing....no option for just topless.

TOPLESS SUNBATHING is allowed in designated beach areas at the Couples Tower Isle at end of the pier off the main beach.
Couples Tower Isle's private 'au naturel' island, featuring a pool with swim-up bar, is open for nude sunbathing from 9am to 5pm daily, weather permitting The Island will close at 4pm on days when an “Island Wedding” has been confirmed. Transport by small boat to the 'au naturel' island is provided.

are there fishing charters available anywhere near this resort?5 answers
If there are...can you tell me where, what they fish for, etc...
Thanks
7 years, 93 months ago
NC, USA
CheapCaribbean.com offers a Deep Sea Fishing excursion through Island Routes, which is a 4 hour excursion that includes round-trip transfers. The excursion can be purchased at the time of booking, or added on at a later date (as long as it is at least 72 hours prior to departure).
KristinCC
I know there are fishing charters/excursions available because a few people at the resort mentioned they had booked something through the excursion desk in the lobby. I can't however tell you where exactly they were or what they were fishing for. I would imagine that if you emailed the resort they should be able to provide you with that information.
lisbethann
I am a fisherman and they do offer deep sea fishing but its costly. one day a small panga hanged out in front and took a guy fishing.. he caught two very small fish ... no idea what they charged him
sorry not much help here
derooster63
Lots of fishing charters out of the Ocho Rios harbor 10 min away. The resort will recommend Island Dog fishing which is $600 for 4 hours for 1-4 people. My wife and I went with Garfield Dive Station that offered 4 hours for $500. The north coast of Jamaica is a great deep sea fishing destination because of how deep it gets right off the reefs in my experience we only went 6-7 miles out and we were fishing as soon as we pulled out of the harbor. Great spot for Blue and White Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish and some Tuna!
SunburntMinnesotan
Yes, there is a daily fish charter from the resort pier. Always successful lots of fish. The resort will prepare and serve you your catch the same day. This is another special no charge service.

Is there more activties10 answers
would love to go horseback riding and a bit of jet sking while there to mix in with a falls tour and just plain ol relaxing if we go for a week long+ honeymoon will there be enought things to to for an active couple?
7 years, 93 months ago
er, ny
There are various activities/excursions available to book during the online booking process. The description of each activities/excursions is also available for you to view.
MariaCC
It rained a couple of days while we were there and on site activities were limited. You can horseback ride and jet ski, just not on property.
On site you can snorkel, scuba dive, wind surf/sail/ski. They also have a glass bottom boat and catamaran cruise.
bkbadgirl
Horseback riding is NOT included in the package deal but you can plan an excursion and pay for it. Friends of ours did and it cost around $180.00 for 4 hours - they said it was well worth it. We didn't see any jet skis at the resort and don't think these are available. You may be able to rent them but we didn't see anything about this type of activity being available. The falls are great but only take about 3 hours so it's not an all day event - you definitely want to have a waterproof camera for that.
BTS0524
If you book enough additional excursions (meaning additional cost) you can stay plenty busy. They do have beach volleyball pretty much every day, as well as tennis and a couple of exercise classes (usually a mix of either yoga, pilates, or spinning). I don't believe they have jet skiing at the resort, but they do have other water sports (ONLY as long as the weather cooperates). We were not able to try most of the water sports because high winds caused them to "red flag" all water sport activities, meaning they don't run. We thought they would have more general activities throughout the day and were kind of disappointed that they didn't. I wouldn't say we were bored necessarily, but any kind of silly game or activity would have been a welcomed change! The night life really isn't there either. They have a piano bar where you can go in and sing along with the piano player, but no disco/night club on-site. They have some sort of entertainment each night after dinner, but it tended to be really low key (to the point of you wondering if they were trying to put you to sleep sometimes! LOL). Hope that helps!
lisbethann
Horseback riding is near by as is zip-line, jet-skis, and golf. Plenty of laid-back relaxation.
ncyndean
There are more activities than the ones listed on the website, however, you will have to pay for them. When you walk into the Tower Isle lobby, there are two concierge desks. One is for activities that the resort provides and the other is activities outside of the resort that you have to pay to do. My husband and I paid for zip lining and had a blast. Definitely worth it!
AmyW
yes they have tons of activities other than the resort but you will pay
horseback riding was $100 a person. we went zip lining for $150 a person. Lots of activities at the resort .. save your money and do the stuff at the resort .
catarmerans were fun ... but they really want to take you for a short ride .. i just told them "I know how to sail" and they let me take em out whenever I wanted for as long as I wanted.
Scuba is great!
snorkling is OK
SIGN UP FOR EVERYTHING EVERYDAY!!! they cancel allot of stuff and if you plan your week out as we did .. you will be scrambling
example we were planning on doing the Catarman Cruise (booze cruise on Tuesday .. it was cancelled and then full until friday.. sign up for it everyday. same for scuba or snorkling
derooster63
Yes I we old recommend horse back riding and jet ski...if your stay is more than 5 days.
Blessedlady
We didn't see any horseback riding or jet skis but the best part of our trip was the "Tranopy" excursion at Mystic Mountain. $150 per person but it's all day excursion to top of Mystic Mountain by Sky Explorer tram. At the top there are the most breathtaking view of Ocho Rios, cruise ship harbor as well as a big waterslide that dumps you in to an infinity pool. The bob sledding was a BLAST.. truly no joke of a ride.. the real deal!. There's a bar, food, gift shopping and native dancers. When you're ready to leave you go to the ziplining area where you zip line down through the rainforest with a group of others and the most lively FUN bunch of instructors with you all the way... If you're active, you'll love this. Worth every penny!
JoanneCharly22
Relaxing was our first priority. We were there for 11 days and took full advantage of the gym and the other amenities and had plenty to do.

Is there internet in the rooms or do you have to go to the lobby10 answers
7 years, 93 months ago

I am not sure if there is internet in the rooms but they have a room with about 10 computers that you can get on anytime and it is free. The room was never crowed. There was only 1-2 people in the room every time I went in.
JoVonne
In the oceanview rooms you can get the internet connection in the room from the swimup bar, lobby, or business office.
jamaicanmecrazy2
Some rooms picked up a signal, but not all. Mine did not. They have a computer room on site. That was helpful.
bkbadgirl
There is no Internet in the rooms but there is a computer room available with free hookup. Very convenient and easy to use.
BTS0524
You do have internet accessibility in your rooms as well as throughout the resort. They also have a 24 hour internet cafe near the main pool/patio dining area.
lisbethann
There is WiFi but it worked best at the swim-up bar or lobby.

WIFI Internet in some rooms was not good, in section 5 where i stayed, the internet in the room was poor/bad, you had to go to balcony, or use cable to connect to your laptop.

Scuba Diving included?5 answers
How does the scuba diving work. The description says it's included but does this mean that the certification is included also?
7 years, 91 months ago
Ohio
According to Couples' website, all non-certified divers are invited to participate in a complimentary Resort Course and one introductory dive. It does not appear a certificate is included.
MariaCC
you can do certification for 250 usd first level, but you can scuba dive there for free,
Alokhon
SCUBA is free if you have certification .. includes everything and their 36ft dive boat is very nice. instructors were awesome as well. I think certification was $250 and will take quite a bit of your time
derooster63
Beginner scuba up to 40ft is free. Wet suit rental is $10. PADI Scuba Certification is $200. There are other certifications for higher cost.
MrBFD
Scuba is included and even though I do not scuba, the scuba staff seamed top notch to me and they not only take you out to the reef which has many crevasses to explore there is also a sunken boat that was sunk there for artificial reef that they will let you dive if you are experienced. I thought it was very nice that they took out an older gentleman that was an experienced diver but who had many health issues. He figured this would be one of if not his last dive and one of the dive instructors took him out. The last resort I went to, this would not have happened, they were to concerned with liability or did not want the extra trouble. I thought that was very kind.

whats the best place for small /intimate wedding, just bride and groom?5 answers

north carolina
We at CheapCaribbean.com do not assist in Wedding Planning. You can contact the resort directly for more information on the Wedding services they offer.
KristenCC
Yes!!!! This would be the perfect place for a wedding! It is a smller resort so it would be great for this!
ColyC
Lots of small wedding going on .. very nice set-up ... Pretty quick I think because I would see them set-up and 30 minutes later they were done
derooster63
I saw 4 weddings while I was there. I would not be happy with any of them. The wedding gazebo is right next to the pool bar, and you WILL hear them. The on-beach wedding is right in the middle of the crowd. If you can rent the island for your wedding, that would be the best way to go for privacy. Just realize you will have to take a boat to get to it. About a minute ride.
MrBFD
They have a area by the hotel that is a great venue and on our last two trips we have seen several couples tie the knot there. It can be just the two of you or as many as you want, the resort takes care of it all for a fee. The only downside is that it is next to the pool with the swim up bar so there is typically a little extra background noise and a few onlookers. I've heard that you can have a private wedding dinner on the island after the sun goes down. If you wanted an evening wedding that would really be a private and memorable location to tie the knot. Just keep in mind the island is used for nude sun worshipers during the day so you have to hope they wipe the chairs down after the sun sets.

any good snorkeling off resort beach or only by trip on boat?5 answers
6 years, 84 months ago
mtarwater
Couples Tower Isle offers complimentary off site snorkel excursions. Reservations must be made in person on property.
KellyCC
The boat is the way to go. It leaves at 11:00 and 3:00. Sign up the day before to insure that you get on the boat. The hotel is constantly running a shuttle to the nudi beach located on the island in front. Due to boat activity and no reef near the beach our snorkeling was limited unless on a boat.
mountaintraveler
Mostly by Boat .. shore is a very nice sandy beach .. I am sure you could swim off to the left and find some good stuff. they will give Mask, fins and snorklwe anytime you wish
derooster63
You can snorkel right off the beach.. They have a boat to take you a short ride to a reef.
DanJuan
If you bring your own gear I think you would possibly find some decent snorkeling between the beach and the island. If they will let you is another question. They will only let you use their gear on the tour and even though they have signs that say only strong swimmers can leave the buoyed area, the lifeguard blew the whistle at anyone that strayed out of the buoyed area and made them come back.

I did see a few gay couples staying at Tower Isle when I was there. However, I was told that the Jamaican culture is not very open to homosexuality and not accepting of it.

I would say everyone would be welcome at this resort! This is an all couple resort and everyone is so welcoming and wonderful, I'm sure they would be this way with all couples gay or straight, I really don't think it would matter at all!
ColyC
I saw a few
derooster63
Hello -
While I can't speak on behalf of the equal treatment of gay couples at the resort by staff or patrons, as I am not one myself, there were both male and female gay couples at the resort that seemed to be just as comfortable as any hetero couple with being romantic and enjoying the beauty of Jamaica and Tower Isle. We didn't see or hear anything that would be discouraging for you to visit this resort.
Enjoy your trip!

We just got back from our honeymoon. Nothing really special for the honeymoon. Everyone is treated like they're on their honeymoon. We did meet a few couples that come back annually or repeat visitors and they had a private cocktail party for those couples. We had a blast and the staff, food, bars, pools, and events were incredible. I can't wait to go back next year!

Honestly we wore anything to all the restaurants besides the two we made reservations for. The Bayside has no dress code that we know of, men wore jeans and tees. The Eight Rivers does adhere to a dress code of pants (no jeans or shorts) and a button down for the men. IMO Bayside was better!

Eight Rivers is the only restaurant that requires (for men): no jeans, no shorts, no sneakers. They must wear closed toe shoes (no sneakers), and a collared shirt.
CodyG
Nice summer dress or nice shorts with a fancy top. Guys, short sleeve button down. Shorts are acceptable
Alleycat8096
Before going to Tower Isle, we had the same pondering. I would boil it down to this:
- Eight Rivers - Wear something nice, like a pair of pressed pants (linen or light weight cotton) with a dress shirt (long or short sleeve) but basically business casual. I would avoid heavy khakis since the humidity will melt you. (Although the restaurant is cool inside.)
- All other restaurants - You see a mix, including flip flops. I would suggest a nicer pair of shorts and a polo, but if you are hitting the buffet, a t-shirt is fine.
- For ladies, dresses were very common at all the restaurants and typically summery in style (Sun dresses, no gowns, etc.) As a male, I didn't see anything I would describe as formal wear. There was a mix of strapless, spaghetti strap, single strap and double strap dresses. For morning and lunch, dress was usually a cover up (varied sheerness) over a swimsuit, men wore bathing suits and t-shirts.
KatanaP
Just appropriate clothing, really anything you wear to go out to dinner. Girls can wear shorts, skirt, or dress. Guys can wear shorts, sandles, tennis shoes, etc. For the Eight Rivers guys need closed toed shoes and pants.
katep
Long pants (no jeans) and a collared shirt
nycBSAer
The patio restaurant and Bayside are casual and the 8 rivers the men need a collared shirt. My best suggestion is linen pants and a nice shirt for each night and you can't go wrong. From the ladies I took 5 maxi dresses and wore one each night, worked perfectly!
Tifni20
Not sure what resort "Chic" is but there is only 1 restaurant that requires dinner attire all other restaurants are casual
FGND
There was only one restaurant that required that men have a collared shirt with pants/jeans and closed toe shoes (not sandals). You could wear whatever you wanted at the other places.

Tiping11 answers
Does the staff at this resort require tips? I had a bad experience in DR and do not want that again. I am all for tipping the maids and bar tenders at the end of my stay, but I don't want to have to keep cash on my person.
6 years, 81 months ago
Judy
We never think it is a bad idea to tip for exceptional service. It may be something that is good to have handy, but we also do not recommend walking around with lots of cash. All of your base gratuities are included in the all inclusive plan and anything above that is your call.
LaurenCC
No they never ask or expect a tip. We did end up tipping the very last day just as a "Thank You" for the amazing service we received!
ColyC
Tipping is not permitted at the resort. Our service was outstanding.
CodyG
No tipping is required as supposely this is already included in the package. However, if you feel like giving them a couple of bucks here and there ($2-$5) you can. They do deserve it as they do everything to make you feel confortable. Not to mention i found out minimum wage in Jamaica is around $70 a week.
metfreak
No, and they do not act like they expect tips either. Keep your money in the safe unless you are going on an excursion. Tipping is expected and solicited on all excursions.
miknkat
They say you don't have to tip, and that's true. I did tip the bellman, roomservice, cleaners, and the bar tenders. Once I saw how hard they work I wanted to tip them more. You'll see once you are there.
dgrayer77
No tipping at all ... nobody expected it and no body asked for it ... Bus drivers and baggage people asked for it .. It was great .. I only saw one person the entire week tip someone
derooster63
No tipping.
Tipping is discouraged.
If you go on some excursions outside the resort, you should tip transportation and crews.
Bidd
As soon as we get to the resort we lock up all of our valuables. The resort says no tipping but we sneak and do it anyway.
VowRenew
you are not allowed to tip anyone on the resort outside of the SPA staff which are not couples employees. This is the ONLY resort that says gratuity is included and truly means it. The staff can get in trouble for accepting tips, don't let yourself be the reason that they lose a job. However, I always bring small gifts for my favorite staff members and management allows this but you have to include their name, your name, and room number on a note and management has to approve them taking it off the property.
MandyW
tips are NOT allowed outside of the drivers who do the transfers who are not couples employees and the spa employees if you get spa services. Tipping policy is on Couple's website as well. You are allowed to bring small gifts for your favorite staff members but never any cash tips. Nothing is expected and the service you will get is still amazing!

Even though only the main, fine dining restaurant is air-conditioned, the food is so delicious here that you won't even notice! And as for the temperature that all depends on the weather at the time you are there, but the ceiling fans help out with any heat.

There is A/C in the fine dining and in the Verandah. Bayside, the buffet, and all the grills are outdoors. With the ocean breeze, we were never hot while eating and there wasn't a noticeable temperature differential between the indoor restaurants and the outdoor ones.

Eight Rivers and the Verandah Restaurant are the only ones that have air conditioning that's because they are in the hotel, the other restaurants are more outdoor, they have coverings of course but you get the ocean breeze, except at night the breeze tends to go away.

There is A/C but it doesn't work very well. Some of the others are patio restaurants.

Airport Transfers10 answers
How often are the services for airport transfers (set times, notify resort upon arrival/departure)?

Scena, River Rouge, MI
Transfers for this resort are done by Jamaica Tours Limited. How they run the transfers for this specific resort could vary. In order to get a more specific answer, please use the "contact us" link below to ask the resort that question directly. Thank you!
https://support.couples.com/index.php?_mo=st&department=1
RobinCC
The resort put a letter in our door the night before departure informing us about airport transfer time the next day. We left the resort at 9am and had a 3pm flight, so we arrived at the airport several hours early.
Dail
It seemed that they would take a load of passengers out when they had a full bus to that area of the island based on arrival. I think we waited about 30 minutes.
ocean100
You won't have to worry about a thing. They'll get you to the airport in time and let you know when to set your luggage outside your door.
pflue001
upon arrival there is a large booth for Couples .. you will be served water, beer or wine in a air conditioed area .. very nice. You will then board a bus to your resort. leaving .. they give you a time to leave your luggage out and a time to report to lobby .. very nice and efficient This part was great!!!
derooster63
If you are speaking of the Couples services, they are frequent with little wait. As another poster commented previously, we arrived at the Couples lounge, had a moment to use the restroom, refresh, grab a drink and then left for the resort. There were only three of us on our flight going to the hotel and the transfer took off promptly. No work on our part, just showed up to the lounge and we were checked in and ready to go.
KatanaP
We only had to wait a few minutes upon our arrival for the bus to the resort. The resort notifies you in advance as to when you have to be in the lobby for the bus back to the airport.
TravelinBubba
Couples has its own office to receive you at the airport and organizes travel to and from the airport by your arrival and departure times. It’s almost 2 hours from the airport to the resort, so you will leave for your departure flight 4 hours before it’s scheduled to take off. The resort is well worth the 2 hour ride to and from the airport!
SDean98
We stayed at Couples Tower Isle and they actually have a room at the airport. The resort has someone there waiting to pick you up as soon as you arrive. We were only there about 10 minutes.
VowRenew
it's non stop all day. I've never had to wait more than 10 mins out of all of my trips for arrival. Departure is set at a specific time based on your departure flight, they will notify you a couple days before departure what time to meet in the lobby for your departure transfer, you do NOT have the option to negotiate this.

The resort is a 10-minute drive from Ocho Rios, which is one of Jamaica's major shopping areas.
MariaCC
There is a gift shop on site. Otherwise, I would say no to walking distance. There is a free shopping excursion on certain days.
GeargiaGator
Not within walking distance, but the resort schedules regular (free) shopping trips into Ocho Rios. Also, there are some locals who set up shop at the resort and it has a really great gift shop.
KatheeBrown
There is no jewelry shop within walking distance. But the resort offer a shopping tour (for free) to Ocho Rios. It starts at 9am til approx.11:30. There are a lot of jewelry shops.
thmmh
No but they offer a shopping tour twice a week. Tuesday at 2:30 and friday at 9;30. They give 1 hour at two seperate stops.
derooster63
There is a gift shop at the resort. Also, on Saturday nights there is an outside gala where a jewelry vendor comes to sell their wares. The resort also does a shopping trip where I purchased a gorgeous blue opal ring.
Alleycat8096
N. Nothing close. They do excursions and shopping trips but the ones we went on i would not recommend.
Relieved
No, you will have to take a shuttle excursion or cab to the downtown market area. All of the jewelry shops are owned and ran by middle easterners and they love for you to test their bartering skills. There is also a chance to catch a few of the duty free jewelry shops in the airport on your way out. If your looking for little trinket type jewelry there is a couple of nights a week where local vendors come in and set up on the property.

Shopping is an included resort excursion. It's a 15-minute shuttle ride the resort provides.

Attire for dinner?10 answers
Can someone be more specific on what people wore to the various restaurants? I want to make sure my husband and I pack correctly
6 years, 77 months ago
MiniCooper33
Some restaurants do require elegant wear (dresses for women and suits for men) and some require resort casual, which would be dresses for women and pants/collared shirts for men.
CoryCC
There is only one restaurant that requires slacks and a collared shirt. You will also need shoes that are not tennis shoes or sandels.
dgrayer77
one resteraunt requires slacks and collored shirt .. the rest are beach attire
derooster63
For the elegant dinners I chose a classy knee length dress...there were no ballroom gowns. You'd feel out of place. My husband wore long pants and a quarter sleeve shirt with vest.
Alleycat8096
Yes, for Eight Rivers, everyone wore long pants (men) of some nature, (e.g., linen or light weight cotton) with a pressed polo, or long or short sleeved dress shirt. Women were dressed in a mix of dresses, typically most we below knee length and appeared to err on the side of cooler rather than than heavier evening wear.
KatanaP
A nice sundress for the women and polo shirt and khaki shorts for men will be fine. There is only one restaurant that require men to wear slacks and dress shoes.
KiwiH
Eight Rivers require women to wear a dress and men to wear slacks, collared shirt, and close toe shoes. All other restaurants are resort casual. My husband wore shorts, a polo shirt and flip flops. I wore capris or a casual dress. You can also wear shorts to the buffet.
DanJuan
Dress is Casual by my book.
Slacks, Shoes, Shirt with Collar for men.
No shorts, T-shiorts or sandals for men
Any dress that is not beach attire for women.
Bidd
Bayside is pretty casual but you should stil look nice. Nice shorts and shirt are permissable. 8 Rivers is more formal and a collared shirt should be worn. Most ladies wore nice dresses
DaveandCindy
The resort has four dining options, the buffet which is three times a day, open air and very casual. This is also the venue for evening entertainment. There is one "dress up" dining option if you want to dress up or to celebrate a special evening, no shorts are allowed and a collared shirt is a must. There is another less dressy option across the hall and is considered resort casual. Both of these options are the only air conditioned areas of the resort. There is also an option for seaside dining in an outdoor venue which is also makes for a great evening experience and once again the appropriate dress is casual. The mix of styles and types of food are good along with the quality and service. Other than the one dress up dining option, pack light and enjoy the laid back island vibe that you sink into upon your arrival. Ya mon!

There is plenty of food to eat for dinner. Breakfast and lunch are buffett style and dinner is at a restaurant. Basically they want you to eat at a different restaurant each night. Once you have tried all the places then you can visit the one or ones that are open.
HappyHoneymooner1
The have special dinner events on those nights.
Dining on the Beach Monday (Plenty of good food choices)
Dining in the pool area (International Food Night)
Don't remember what was on Wednesday
You definitely want to go to each of the three restaurants. The are each exceptional.
Bidd
Monday is a beach party dinner so all others are closed since its a big all resort dinner.
Between the Veranda, Bayside and Eight Rivers, and their ever changing menus there is no shortage of variety and food!
I would book your dinners at Eight Rivers and Bayside the day you arrive to ensure you get a time that you feel is best to dine.

The restaurants do have open/closed hours but there was always another option (Pool Grill, Veggie Bar, Patio, beach celebration, etc.). Every time we wanted to eat, there was an available option and all of the restaurants are very good.

All restaurants are closed Monday and Saturday and that's because on Mondays they have a beach party on the beach, and Saturdays they have a buffet patio party by the main pool in the buffet area.

Definitely go with the premier ocean room. Well worth waking up to the waves crashing against the sea wall and watching the day come to life.
chadwickoon
At the Couples Tower Isle the ocean side deluxe room was a good size room with decent furnishings. It was clean and well maintained. Our room had a mini-fridge they keep stocked at no additional charge. There was a walk in shower, no tub. The balcony is spacious and is a great place to have breakfast or just sit and chill. The floors are all tile. I saw inside a standard room and it appeared to be much smaller and didn't have the ocean view. I haven't opted for a superior or premier room, someone indicated the best rooms are overlooking the main pool but I've never seen in them, also the late night activity at the pool may be more of a distraction that a benefit. Other than the evening, we didn't spend much time in the room.

workstolive
There are limited trees on the beach, but there are also tarp like canvas hung overhead to provide shade that you can move your beach chair into. There are not umbrellas, but that makes for a better beach experience overall.
ChitownCouple
Yes, there are some trees that provide some shade and an area around the main pool that is mostly in the shade for most of the day. Great place to sleep, read a book or just keep your skin from turning into a raisin. If you go during their peak season you may want to get down there and stake your claim early though as it seems those chairs do fill up quickly. On the beach you get a little red flag to stick in the sand when you need a cold drink, what could be better than that? The only problem is when I tried that same method at home my wife was not at all impressed.

There are 4 buildings. Building 2 and 4 are right outside the pools. Building 1 and 3 are right outside the beach. You can get to the beach in under 2 minutes from any room though. You literally walk outside.

At the Couples Tower Isle you walk out the steps from the building and then you are a few more steps down to the beach or pier. It's all right there. The beach front rooms are the best and well worth the little extra.

Yes there is a complimentary shuttle that will take you to the resort. It is about a 11/2 hour trip from the airport to the resort. The drivers are in no hurry to get you there, so take advantage of the Couples resort lounge at the airport and hammer down as many Red Stripes as you can for the long ride to the resort.

It is complementary when booking from this site. There is a private lounge in the airport where you will wait for the shuttle to be ready. They offer free drinks while you wait. Shuttle ride is about 2 hours with around 12 people on your trip.

Yes, as soon as you go through customs at the Montego Bay airport you walk into an area with all of the major resorts represented. Look for your resort and they will guide you from there. With Couples they take your luggage from there and you can have a cold Red Strip while your waiting for your transfers. I always get the transfers included, it just makes it really easy and less stressful.
tietheknot
The hotel provides shuttle service, they have a lounge you go to after going trough customs, very friendly helpful and you get free drinks while you wait for the shuttle, for us it was 1/2 hr tops. It's a 2 hour shuttle ride and the way the locals drive it's kind of scary so prepare yourself, this would be the one reason why we wouldn't return.

Room service is not available for this resort. For assistance in finding a resort that does offer room service for your needs, please call one of our Beach Experts at 1.800.915.2322.
SamCC

T1t2
Yes there is 24 hour room service....good luck with the food.
BuddyH
Room service is available and free.
MrBFD
The Couples Tower Isle provides daily room service, they give a general cleaning, new towels and make the bed. They also offer a nightly turn down service in the deluxe rooms where they turn down your bed and provide you with clean towels if needed. As for dining in your room they offer a limited breakfast menu and I suppose you could eat dinner in your room as well if you don't want to be around anyone. Overall, the resort is top notch when it comes to service. It's five star Jamacan service which is slightly less than what we get accustomed to in the States but it's only because they never get in a rush.

Jamaica is a highly Christian country. The resort is not TAG friendly.

Not that I was aware of, although my wife and I are straight we definitely talked to a couple or two that were not. Ya mon, it's all good.

NO
MRM80
No, very much an open resort, saw other couples of same sex. Everyone gets along just the same. Even saw a sister couple who loved to travel and booked as a couple! The resort really doesn't hold "couples" as the name suggests, to a certain standard

This is a couples only resort that mainly caters to married couples. We suggest you look at Hedonism II.
CaitlinCC
I was never approached by any that I would recognize.
BuddyH
There is a nude island a very short boat ride away, so it wouldn't surprise me if swinging was in the mix. We never felt any pressure or were confronted with overt swinging activity.
Prater
I saw two tree swings out by the beach, they're kind of fun to sit in an swing for a while. As for the other kind I didn't necessarily see or hear of any couples specifically looking for that at this resort but I suppose if you hang out around one of the bars with other couples you might run into the more adventurous types that have completely drank themselves into a stupor and are willing to do about anything. There is also a island where clothing is prohibited, that might be another venue to find an adventurous couple. Warning however, you will see things on that island that can't be unseen. I saw a 70+ year old man there with skin like a raisin in his birthday suit. It was like looking at a car wreck, you had to look but oh the humanity of it all.

We talked to a lot of couples and were never asked about swinging.

There is a restaurant called Feathers that offers Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee (Regular or Decaffeinated), Espresso, Irish Coffee, and Cappuccino. Taste is subjective, but Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is known as a great gourmet coffee throughout the world.

coffee makers in room make "hotel coffee". The coffee at the breakfast buffet was great! No espresso or lattes of any kind that I was aware of.

No expresso or lattes in the restaurants at the resort but the coffee is fantastic! Fresh Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is some of the best you can get!

No. You have to pay extra for spa services.
RebeccaNY2015
No, at the Couples Tower Isle the spa services are all extra and are not a part of the all inclusive. Atypical one hour massage runs about a $100 and they offer other typical spa services like nails and facials etc. It's not cheap but you got to plan at least one spa visit to complete the trip, after that you'll be hooked and will want to take out a second mortgage to support your spa habit.

At the Couples Tower Isle all alcohol is included. The ocean view rooms have a mini refrigerator in the room that is stocked with cold drinks, juices, beer and pop. You also get a bottle service which includes a couple of bottles of liquor for your consumption pleasure if you haven't already drank yourself into a coma from the two outdoor bar options. The outdoor bars, one is a swim up bar, open at 10:00AM and they have a really god selection of premium liquors. Red Strip beer is the only beer on tap there, which isn't all bad considering. Also at the end of the day, the piano bar and disco lounge are another option to keep going until the wee hours of the morning.
tietheknot
Oh yah! There's liquor everywhere! Two outdoor bars that open at 10:00AM, booze in the room they keep refilled, a piano bar and a "disco" to keep things going well into the night.

YES! Sign up for the Romance Rewards on their website before your trip.. tell them what booze you want in your minibar and they will stock it with LARGE bottles.. I mean full bar size bottles, not the little "nips". We were worried we were being charged for all these bottles of booze, we weren't... they were all complimentary but you have to sign up for Romance Rewards.
JoanneCharly22
Yes, but you will need to request it. When you check in, you will get a list of available items that can be stocked in your mini-bar - just check off the ones you want and hang it on your door and they will bring the items to your room.
myssflame
It can it you let the staff know that you want liquor in your bar. There's a form in your room that you can fill out to request liquor, wine, mixers, etc. Note: some pricey liquors will require you to pay an additional fee for them to be be added to your bar.
Spartan2
You are given a few standard non-alcoholic beverages as well as a drink request form to hang on your door. They have 'well' or 'house' alcohol at no additional cost, as well as 'premium' options for a fee. The fees are listed on the card so it's nice. Also, they bring full sized bottles which is amazing. We ordered whiskey and rum for night caps each evening and didn't even put a dent in them since we drank all day. :)

Private golf lessons with an experienced pro are available for an additional fee. We recommend that guests make a reservation for either course one day in advance. Note: Caddies are mandatory and tipping is customary.

Hotel Description
Couples Tower Isle Jamaica: Share a Chic Caribbean Experience
Named by Travel + Leisure in 2011 as the "World's Best Hotel Spa in the
Caribbean" and as #26 in the "Top Hotels in the World", Couples Tower Isle
isn't just one of the best resorts in Jamaica; it's one of the world's best
resorts. The couples-only resort's beachfront paradise boasts Tower Isle: a
private island accessible only by boat, and the only place where couples can
enjoy nude sunbathing. The swim-up bar on the island puts premium liquor in the
rum punch, so you can bathe nude in the lap of luxury.
The uncrowded beaches are perfect for sun worshipers ready for quiet Caribbean
beauty, and the 1950s-style freshwater pool makes you feel like a Hollywood
celeb, with all the glamour and none of the drama. Hungry after swimming or
sunbathing? Couples Tower Isle brings Jamaica to you at Eight Rivers with their
pumpkin-and-plantain cappuccino soup garnished with Jamaican chorizo. On a
health kick? You can't beat the local flavors at Veggie Bar and a serving of
chilled breadfruit-and-leeks vichyssoise. At night, you're in for a real show
at the chic Piano Bar, where you can imagine yourself as an old-school
Hollywood star.
A wealth of all-inclusive activities available
to help you take in what Jamaica has to offer: a glass-bottom boat tour,
shuttles to Margaritaville, reef snorkeling and scuba diving. Be sure to catch a ride on the complimentary Catamaran Cruise before the day is done. When you've had
your fill of excitement, treat yourself to a European Seaweed Body Treatment at
the Zen-styled Oasis Spa, voted by Travel+Leisure as the best spa in the
Caribbean.
After a long day of pleasure seeking and pampering, couples relax in
Caribbean-styled guestrooms, each with a king-sized bed and nightly, turn-down
service. And, shopping in Ocho Rios is just five miles
away, with a resort this fabulous, you'll never want to leave!
