Vacation at Couples Swept Away Jamaica
Cyndy & Jon
We visited Couples Swept Away in December 2007 for the first time and had an incredible vacation! Over half of the couples there were “repeaters” who have been there multiple times. After spending ten relaxing and fun-filled days there, we can understand why. We heard about Nancy Finn of Island Getaways on TripAdvisor. Someone recommended her saying she has been there about fifty times and is known as “Ms Swept Away”. She definitely earned her title working with us! We had never been to Jamaica or to a Couples resort before, so we did lots of research on which resort to stay at, which room to get, which week to go, etc. Nancy was incredibly patient with us in answering all of our questions and addressing all of our concerns and unique requests. All the advice she gave us was right on the money! We will definitely be lifelong customers of hers. As we were about to fly out, we learned of severe weather problems at our connecting airport. We called her in a panic and she gave us great advice and encouraged us to call her cell phone on the Saturday we were traveling if we needed anything.
The travel ended up going well and we arrived at Couples Swept Away safely and on time.
Just prior to our arrival, Nancy called the resort and used her connections to make sure they had the perfect room for us. As we requested, it was facing the ocean with a balcony, and it was also in a great location of the resort. It was a beautiful room with a very comfortable bed and was much nicer than rooms we’ve had at other beach resorts. The resort landscaping was beautiful and the food was terrific, with several different restaurants and types of cuisine to choose from. The sports facilities were the best we have seen at any resort. The open air gym was fully stocked with machines, the lap pool was excellent and the ten tennis courts (half clay) were great. They even had racquetball and squash courts. We took private one hour individual tennis lessons that really helped our game. We were amazed that they were all included in the price of the trip. The beach and ocean were very beautiful and relaxing. We went water skiing, jet skiing, took a catamaran cruise, played beach volleyball and had some quality hammock time. We also visited Rick’s Café nearby and had a great time watching people dive off their cliff into the ocean at sunset. We met lots of fun people from all over the country and made some good friends who we spent time with at the resort, including having dinners together and spending time at the piano bar and dance floor. The service was great and all the staff was very friendly and helpful. They made sure we were always happy and taken well care of. We had a wonderful time at Couples Swept Away and look forward to returning, always with the help of Nancy Finn!
