Honestly can’t understand some of the negative reviews on here!! Just spent the best week ever at this beautiful resort! Our 1st trip to Jamaica. Yes the journey from the airport is a bumpy hour & half ride but we were prepared for that! Had a quick & efficient check in with a chilled glass of champagne! Went to the concierge desk & booked Lemongrass restaurant for the following evening & the catamaran trip later in the week. Our ocean verandah room was in a perfect location, had a fabulous view of beach & by a hot tub. Cleaned to a good standard & bar restocked with whatever we had requested each day. The beach is just STUNNING!! Never had a problem locating a sunbed after breakfast & moving it to my desired location… between the sea & Bamboo beach bar which had a great selection of drinks & fun entertaining staff. Food….Always a great selection at the buffett which was hot & fresh. Scrambled eggs for breakfast was the nicest I’ve had, washed down with a cheeky mimosa! We did order the breakfast to the room one morning just for the experience which was cool. Lemongrass was a nice change one night especially with the martini bar next to it, the Lemon drop martini being a particular favourite & the chocolate martini! Lunch we loved either Scotch Bonnet for the nicest juicy jerk chicken & fresh chicken/beef patties or Seagrapes for amazing fish tacos!! We didn’t have late nights as tired being up so early (jet lag) but did venture to the piano bar a couple of times which was fun but the best entertainment was the steel band silver birds! Don’t miss them! The reggae band were good too. Recommend the free ride to Pushcart to watch the sunset from the cliffs. I get some people may not want to spend extra money when at an all inclusive but it was a stunning location where we planned on drinks only but the menu looked good we ended up eating & im glad we did as food was amazing! We did the free catamaran cruise as well which was worth doing tho it rained on us so not my favourite experience of the week! It rained most afternoons actually for a short time but we just went in the hot tub or sat on our verandah reading or playing a game. Sun soon came back out! The resort was clean, tidy & well maintained there’s always staff working & also very happy to chat to you. All the staff at couples swept away are totally amazing & can’t do enough for you! It’s says no tipping but we did discreetly as it was well deserved. I also took little gift bags to give out to staff which totally made their day & they were extremely grateful for them. Couple of off site trips I’d highly recommend…. One love bus tour…. Visiting 6-7 local bars on a party bus! It’s a must! Take gifts for the children! Also Tiki pon da sea trip to Booby cay island for the most delicious lobster I’ve ever had! We also walked down seven miles beach & stopped off a few places for refreshments! It’s quite simply the most beautiful place! You do get asked a lot if want to buy things but a polite no thank you is all that’s needed. We always say we don’t go to the same place twice as the worlds a big place but have to say….we are already saying nothing would quite top Jamaica & can see us returning to Negril in the future to stay at this fabulous hotel. Lots of special memories made! #onelove

ralston was great, service was awesome, resort was beautiful, shania was great, food was fantastic !!!! we owe devon a lighter. we utilized the offerings like paintings and bracelets making and tie dye, etc. would recommend. sound system for wedding could've been dialed in a bit more

Amazing 7 night stay at couples swept away. Beautiful location, amazing beach, fantastic staff.

You will have such a good time. We are currently enjoying our fourth visit to swept away and it is everything we expected and more. The people are friendly service is great and you can’t beat the beach. Shaneek at the beach bar is a lot of fun. It is very busy but they do their best to accommodate.

This was our 5th trip to Couples Resorts (2nd visit to Swept Away). You'll never find a better beach!! The staff is fantastic, and the property is beautiful. I do need to say the food wasn't as good as it was previously - but that's regarding the buffet specifically.
