My husband and I spent the week at a lovely all inclusive resort in Negril, Jamaica: Couples Swept Away.
Just fabulous. Relaxing and beautiful. Wonderful staff. People. I couldn’t have asked for a better vacation!
Jamaicans are carefree. Always smiling. No worry attitudes. Works for me!
So let me fill you in on the details. I believe there are a few very important topics that you should know about.
The food..
Exceptional. Local recipes so nothing tasted exactly as we were used to. I loved that! From jerk chicken to pan seared snapper to callaloo, everything was delicious! If we ordered one dish and wanted another, then we ordered another. No reason to ever go hungry at Couples Swept Away. Two of the restaurants required reservations (that you make upon check-in), but we didn’t have any problem with reserving. Restaurants do have a resort casual dress code for dinner, however it’s not a major issue…especially since the food was fantastic!
The drinks…
Ooh wee. Drinks are included. What more do I need to say? We starting drinking around 10am every day. Guess how that turned out?!?! Lol. Great strawberry daiquiris, piña coladas, and a local favorite– the Tantalizer. Many times we asked the bartender what their favorite drink was and had him/her make it for us. I will say we were never disappointed with the finished product.
The beach…
Amazing. Beautiful. Peaceful.
Being lazy on the beach is part of a great vacation! We would take one of the couples resort floats and lay out on the water making friends with other couples. So much fun! Now, the beach always had a “weed man” present in case someone wanted to buy some lol. We don’t get down like that, but several other couples did…hahaha funny.
One night the resort hosted a beachside Romantic Bonfire. It was so relaxing. A guy even had his guitar and sang love songs. Great way to get you in the mood *wink wink*
All in all, it was an amazing experience. We will definitely return! The price includes excursions, shopping trips etc.
It just depends what you’re looking for. We wanted a week of relaxation without a set schedule. May sound boring to some, but hey…it’s our money. Haha!
