All-inclusive brand Couples is reopening two more resorts in Jamaica, Caribbean Journal has learned.

The adults-only resort company will reopen both its Couples San Souci and Couples Negril resorts on Dec. 1, the property confirmed.

Couples has already reopened its two other properties in Jamaica: Couples Tower Isle and Couples Swept Away.

“With all four of our idyllic resorts open and ready to welcome first-time and returning guests, the holidays really are coming early for us,” said Abraham Issa, President of Sales and Marketing at Couples Resorts. “We can’t wait to spread the holiday cheer and delight our guests with a memorable, romantic and stress-free vacation in Jamaica. While our resorts are intimate in nature, they each have a large oceanfront footprint, with guest rooms, restaurants, and recreational activities spread out across several acres.”

Couples San Souci has a total of 150 rooms in in a cliffside setting in Ocho Rios.

Couples Negril is set on an 18-acre oceanfront site in Negril.

All of the company’s properties have undertaken health and safety protocols called “Good Clean Fun,” Couples said.

The program was developed in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Jamaican Ministry of Tourism guidelines.

They range from food hygiene protocols to increased cleaning to social distancing policies.

“Of course, ensuring the health and wellbeing of both our staff and guests is our top priority,” Issa said.
