Jamaica's Original All-Inclusive Resort

Couples Ocho Rios captures the essence of Old Jamaica charm mixed with breath-taking beauty. The hotel itself stands impressive as its white exterior is beautifully contrasted by all of nature's gifts. The ambiance combines the allure of a 50's Hollywood hangout with a preserved feeling of lush tropical splendors. Our powdery white sand beach is awaiting your footprints. Our fresh-water pool overlooking the sea is ready to refresh you.

At Couples Ocho Rios, it's all about you and the simple ways we can please you. Enjoy unlimited meals, 24-hour food service, unlimited premium brand beverages at any of our 4 bars, all land and water-sports activities and a variety of off-site excursions. It's your vacation and it needs to be special. It's our pleasure to make it happen.

Couples Resorts places a strong emphasis on our No-Tipping Policy. Once you arrive on our property, a friendly "thank you" is the best tip you can give, and the only one allowed. (Outside our resorts tipping is customary for all airport baggage personnel, taxi drivers, and other service personnel)
