Exclamation Couples Ladies - READ THIS

We booked our Wedding at the Riu Ocho Rios and our honeymoon at Couples OR. My TA just called me and informed me that COUPLES WILL BE CLOSED FROM APRIL 1st TO DECEMBER 15th!!!
So now we have to find another place to have our honeymoon!!! I'm so upset!

I've heard a lot of stuff on the north and eastern sides of the island are under renovations, the roads included. That's the main reason we're going to Negril. I'm sure if you've already booked COR your pricing would be valid at CN or CSA! PM me if you would like the direct phone # to the wedding director in Florida.

We chose SA because it is a little newer and supposedly "more relaxed" than a lot of the other resorts. We just want to hang out and not have a "cruise director" rushing around everywhere! LOL

I believe there are more restaurants and excursions, too.

Go to the Couples website and read their announcement on the message board. They are going to offer the already booked guests the option of any of hte other 3 resorts (which are mainly all suites and are more expensive) at the COR rate. Also, you will get a two night free stay for 2009 at any Couples resort.

Not a bad deal. Our honeymoon was going to be there in May - it will all work out. I've heard nothing but good things about COuples.

Wink Re: Couples Ladies - READ THIS

Oh, my mouth dropped as I read the first post. We are getting marred at Couples, Negril on 11/15/08. I know that we really had a hard deciding between swept away and Negril.

We re-booked at Couples Sans Souci. It's just been renovated (1 week ago) and I've heard that everything is new and the rooms are nicer.
