Have you been to Couples resort in Negril, Jamaica?

Question

I have some questions about this resort that I cannot find answers to on their website.
1. Do they have horseback riding at this resort?

2. What exactly is included w/ the scuba diving? I have heard some resorts only let you go for free the first time. Also, how long is the certification class?

3. Is the resort on a private beach? Is it the 7 mile beach?

4. Are there hammocks on the beach?

5. Are there tables for two in the restaurants or will we be seated w/ other couples?

6. How many restaurants are there? I have seen 4 and 6, depending on the source.

7. Did you have any trouble w/ room mix-ups? Like getting double beds instead of a king? I have heard of this happening.

Thank You!

Answer 1

I have not been to the Couples resorts but did stay at a Breezes in Runaway Bay Jamaica. At that resort scuba was $70 and included a 2 hour (or so) orientation followed by a half hour dive to about 30 feet. Interestingly, in my orientation class there were about 5 men and 4 women and only one woman actually made it through to the dive. Also, the resort probably does not have horses but you can go to an outside company for riding. You might check out Chukka Cove for that. Also, I don't think any beaches on the island of Jamaica are private that are on the ocean.

As far as the other questions, I suggest you go to TripAdvisor.com for research. You can read the hotel amenities, see "candid traveler photos", and post questions at the "forums" section. You will get more and better answers there.
