Couples Tower Isle sits on the north coast east of Ocho Rios, in the Tower Isle area, and offers an all-inclusive stay for couples at a more moderate price than the grand luxury resorts nearby. The resort is known for its relaxed, friendly mood and for a setting on the water that includes a small island reached from the shore, which is a popular spot for a quiet afternoon. Rates normally cover meals, drinks and many activities, so you can move between the beach, the pools, the bars and the restaurants without thinking about the bill. Rooms and suites are spread across the grounds, with views ranging from gardens to the sea. It suits couples who want an easy, sociable week in the sun, with waterfalls, rainforest and the town of Ocho Rios a short drive away.
Location and getting around
The resort is in the Tower Isle area, east of Ocho Rios town, a drive of around fifteen to twenty minutes depending on traffic. Sangster International Airport at Montego Bay is roughly two hours away by road, and Ian Fleming International Airport is closer for some flights. Most guests arrange transfers through the resort, and taxis and tour operators connect to Dunn’s River Falls, the Blue Hole, Mystic Mountain and Fern Gully.
The rooms
Categories run from garden and hillside views to rooms nearer the water, with suites at the upper end. Ask about the room type that fits your priorities, such as a quiet corner, a sea view or easy access to the beach, and check the details of each category when you book. Standards vary between room types, so read the description of the one you choose.
Who it suits
Couples, honeymooners and friends travelling in pairs who want an adults-only stay with a friendly, informal atmosphere. It is a good fit for guests who like a mix of relaxing and sightseeing, since the main north-coast attractions are within reach. Families with children will want a resort that welcomes younger guests.
Good to know
All-inclusive packages differ by season and room category, so read what your rate includes, from speciality dining to excursions and spa treatments. The area east of Ocho Rios is quieter and greener than the town itself, so plan your evenings around the resort or take a taxi into town. Bring cash for tips and day trips, and reef-safe sunscreen.
Eating, drinking and extras
An all-inclusive rate here normally covers dining at several restaurants and a range of bars, plus entertainment and some activities. Spa treatments, special dinners and excursions are often extra, so decide what you want and book early. The atmosphere is sociable, which makes it easy to meet other guests at the bar or by the pool.
When to go
December to April is the most popular and expensive time, with the driest weather. Summer brings lower rates and warmer water, and the hurricane season runs from June to November, so look for flexible cancellation terms and consider travel insurance. A week allows a good balance of rest and day trips to the falls and the rainforest.
