Thousands Worldwide Vote Couples Resorts Spas as Best in Caribbean
Montego Bay, Jamaica – September 24, 2009 – For the first time in company history, three of Couples Resorts’ four Jamaican all-inclusive properties have been named to Travel+Leisure’s coveted Top Caribbean Hotel Spas list. Couples Sans Souci, Couples Negril and Couples Swept Away were voted the top one, two and three best hotel spas in the Caribbean by thousands of Travel+Leisure’s readers around the globe.
“We are honored that our valued guests have voted our spas as the best in the Caribbean,” said Randy Russell, Chief Romance Officer® and Senior VP of Sales & Marketing for Couples Resorts. “Our team continually strives to reach our goal of incorporating the best products and services, in order to create an ideal environment for our guests to enjoy a blissful experience during each and every treatment at their favorite Couples Resorts spa.”
Over the last year, Couples Resorts has worked to further individualize its spa services at each of its properties. Couples Swept Away released its uniquely Jamaican, signature ‘Reggaesage’ treatment, while Couples Sans Souci boasts stunning cliff-side spa huts overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Finally, Couples Negril, with its new tree-house spa-hut, places guests atop the palm trees that line the property’s shore. The only Couples Resorts property not making the Top Spas list this year is the newly re-opened Couples Tower Isle, which boasts a $30 million renovation including a brand new spa with a Buddha relaxation pool.

Though this is the first time Couples Resorts has been voted to the Top Caribbean Hotel Spas list, the properties are no stranger to Travel+Leisure’s “World’s Best Hotels” list. This year, Couples Resorts became the first all-inclusive chain to have all of its properties ranked on the publication's prestigious Top 25 Resorts in the Caribbean list. The 2009 ranking lists Couples Negril and Couples Swept Away as #2 and #3, respectively. While the two Ocho Rios properties, Couples Sans Souci and the new Couples Tower Isle, were ranked #7 and #8 on the list. Couples Negril and Couples Swept Away also ranked in the top 100 resorts in the world, at #36 and #42, respectively.
