Vacations used to be a luxury, but in today's world it has become a necessity. ~Author Unknown

Jamaica - home of Bob Marley, delicious rum, jerk chicken and some of the best all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean. Understand, not all all-inclusive resorts are created equal. It is important to do your research, read online reviews and consult with travel professionals, on your needs and the amenities offered at these resorts. If your checklist consist of  sun, relaxation and a little pampering throughout the day, look into Couples Tower Isle.

Couples Tower Isle in Ochos Rios definitely falls in the category of top notch, all-inclusive resorts. From the moment you unload off of the resort airport shuttle, you are greeted with chilled a glass of rum punch and a pleasant "yeah, mon". The front desk staff is amazing and are quick to make sure you start your vacation, immediately. The backdrop of the lobby is the ocean, which blends nicely with the Greco white and blue tile. While you are caught up in the moment and just taking in the sights, smells and sounds, a bell person will take your luggage to your room...no worries!!

The resort has an array of grills, bars and restaurants. If your vacations are about eating, drinking and being merry then you will love Couples Tower Isle. Whether it is breakfast in bed, a snack by the by the pool or a candlelight dinner for two, this resort has it all. They even have a Veggie Bar for those with a vegetarian diet.

The rooms are spacious with flat screens and iPod docking stations. I would suggest reserving an ocean front or ocean view room. Watching the sun either rise or set is part of the vacation. The resort spa is located in a tranquil garden area. Take a moment, walk around and enjoy the lush, well kept vegetation. The hot tub and steam room are complimentary to resort guests but there is a fee for additional spa services. If you have the time and the extra cash, book a massage. It is worth it!!! Also, reserve some time and take advantage of the activities. Most are included in your fees but there are some that have a small cost. Make sure you visit the concierge and check for activity fees and reservations.
 
Engaged and interested in a destination location?? Couples Tower Isle is known for their destination weddings. I had my New Year's Eve wedding at the resort and could not have asked for a better experience. The wedding coordinator and the entire staff made sure my day was perfect.
 
And speaking of New Year's Eve, this resort knows how to bring in the new year. When the sun sets, every staff member is involved in the venue transformation. There is a rooftop cocktail hour, steel drum performers, singers, dancers and beautiful lights that line the pool. Name it and you can probably find it on the super-sized buffet. There was an entire room just for desserts. Noise makers, tiaras and hats are given to guests, as the countdown to another year is yelled by everyone. Do not look for those room keys just yet; 12:01am means the party is just getting started!!!
 
Overall, Couples Tower Isle is an ideal all-inclusive resort. It is perfect for those traveling to Jamaica for the first time.

*A-List tip - Sign up early for activities. They fill up quickly!!

Happy travels!!!
