Couples Swept Away is located on one of the nicest stretches of 7 mile beach! Very long and very deep. I loved that the cushions they provide for the chairs doubled as floats in the water. Speaking of the water, it was crystal clear and bath water warm. I have a strong aversion to chilly water :) - so I was thrilled that the ocean was warm! There was lots of room to spread out on the beach and plenty of beach chairs for the guests no matter what time of day you headed down.

The rooms at Couples Swept Away, would best be described as Caribbean chic. Very spacious, even in the lowest categories, with white tiled floors, king size comfortable beds topped with crisp linens and a white duvet that provided a nice contrast with the dark island woods. The large windows behind our bed had louvered slats that we opened every morning to listen to the birds and the maid closed for us with turn down service at night The clean lines were enhanced by the gauzy white curtains that covered the wall length windows and double balcony doors. The balcony was the largest I've seen at any resort thus far and a great place to have a continental breakfast, included with every room category or enjoy a few drinks at night before dinner. Some balconies had a rocker recliner or a loveseat, others a hammock and chair.

Watersports- incredible! My rotten husband ( and of course I say this in the most loving way- hee hee) woke me at 7:30am every single morning so that he could sign up for diving ( you had to be at the dive hut at 8am to sign up for the next mornings & afternoon dive) he really enjoyed the dives and went 4 out of the 7 days.

We also took the hobie cat out twice, went waterskiing, snorkeling, kayaked & took the free catamaran cruise down the beach where he cliff jumped! I even tried the beginning dive class- went to do the open water and chickened out at about 10 feet- oh well maybe next time! All of this was included!

 There is also an extensive fitness facility at Couples Swept Away- complete with a large exercise room, daily fitness & yoga classes, an obstacle course, tennis courts and lap pool to name just a few of the facilities. You will also find a smoothy bar and pool table at this end of the property.

So what if your bored of taking in the sun, wrinkly from playing in the water, don't feel like using the excercise facilities, shopped till you've spent all there is and have already ate & drink till you could burst - what can you do now ? Couples swept away has you covered there are complimentary day time activities including enrichment classes from hat making out of palm fronds, creating your own beaded jewelry to Jamaican cooking classes!
