About Couples Swept Away
Exactly what the name says: a couples-only stretch of Negril's Seven-Mile Beach, with a serious ten-acre sports complex across the road for anyone who can't sit still. There's an organic garden and veggie bar feeding the kitchens too. Laid-back, healthy, romantic Jamaica. Best November through April.

Couples Swept Away
Things to know
before you go
Couples Swept Away is an adults-only all-inclusive resort on Negril's Seven Mile Beach.
The resort is strongest for couples who want a true beach vacation with extensive included sports and wellness activities.
The beach is the main draw:calm water, long walking distance, soft sand, and classic Negril sunsets are recurring positives.
The style is relaxed and Caribbean rather than ultra-modern luxury.
Travelers looking for a sleek new-build resort or a high-energy party atmosphere may prefer another option.
Hidden tips
The sports complex is a major differentiator and can meaningfully improve the value for active guests.
Book specialty restaurants early if dining variety is important.
Choose beachfront categories if the beach is the reason for booking; garden-side rooms may feel less special.
Things guests wish they had known
The resort's strongest asset is the beach, not flashy room design.
Active travelers get more value from the included sports and fitness program.
The vibe is romantic and social but generally not a hard-party resort.
