This resort is located on the western coast of Jamaica on one of the nicest stretches of the white sands of Negrils’
famous Seven Mile Beach. The water is crystal clear and bathwater warm. Occasional sea grape and Palapa umbrellas offer partial shade to guests. The
grounds of the resort are breath-taking with incredibly lush grounds making guests feel like they are in a rainforest.

Two pools are at either end of the property. Both are small and surrounded by a few lounge chairs. Most of the time, the pool is abandoned as couples prefer the impressive beach just steps away.

Couples Swept Away is a large property located on 20 hectares of land with 26 two-story buildings linked by meandering paved walkways. There are an additional 12 three-story buildings which house the veranda suites that are the
best part of this resort. The four beachside villas are two-bedroom affairs suitable for two couples traveling together.
The rooms at
Couples Swept Away could be called Caribbean chic. The two and three-story veranda suites, graded Atrium, Garden and Beachfront, are fitted with terra-cotta floors inset with ceramic fish. Rooms also feature fine hardwood furniture, one king or two double beds with plump duvets, attractive wooden shutters, oversized mirrors, minibars, and voluminous baths with stall showers. All rooms are air-conditioned with a ceiling fan, private bathrooms, CD players, blow dryers, and safety deposit boxes. Most rooms have televisions except for the Garden Suites and Atrium suites. The Great House suites have Jacuzzis.

Second-floor rooms here have peaked roofs, romantic balconies with rattan rockers, exposed beams and better sea views (although views are harder to come by now that the landscaping has grown in). The more expensive accommodations feature stocked refrigerators, robes, scales and whirlpool tubs. Atrium and Beachfront accommodations are preferred for their privacy. The Atrium rooms are quieter as they are in the middle of the property and closer to the beach.
There are
six restaurants and bars on site. Because
Couples Swept Away is an all-inclusive resort, there is
food available 24 hours a day. It offers full and continental breakfasts and a variety of dining options throughout the day.
The Palms is a rattan-furnished open-air restaurant on the ground floor, serving breakfast and lunch buffets. Dinner here is a la carte daily, but it is closed on Friday. Across the street, Posh Feathers require reservations and resort-formal attire. It’s a la carte Caribbean-infused menu is a popular choice for many. Lemon Grass offers Thai food in a dress-casual, open-air environment.
