Resorts in Jamaica?

H and I are looking to do a few days in Jamaica this Spring.  I have never been, but I want to jump on a plane for 3 hours and be somewhere new.  An all inclusive would be nice, but not necessary.  Most importantly, we don't want somehwere with a lot of children.  I would like to be able to sit by the pool and not having screaming kids around me splashing.  This is more of a relaxation, romantic trip for us.  We would only be there around 3 days.  We just need a vacation.  Can you reccommend any great places to stay with a nice beach area and great night bars?  TIA!

Re: Resorts in Jamaica?

  • We went to Sandals Whitehouse for our honeymoon and LOVED it!  It was super relaxing, very secluded, and just a great way to relax.  The only downside is that its about a 90 minutes drive from the airport and the roads are horrible!

    My sister has been to the Rose Hall Suites in Montego Bay and she really enjoyed it.  It was also adults only, but there were 3 resorts that you had access to, where only the suites guests had access to that resort.

  • Couples is a great resort chain in Jamaica. They are all inclusive and adults only. Couples Swept Away is my favorite, but Couples Tower Isle and Couples Sans Souci are very nice as well. I have sent many couples to these resorts and have gotten nothing but rave reviews.

    I can't sing enough praise for Couples. AMAZING.

  • We spent 6 nights at Sandals Whitehouse last December, and had a wonderful time. It's adults only all inclusive so no noisy children (only a few noisy adults at times), has a lovely beach, nice grounds, good food, etc. The downside is, as PP said, that it is 90 minutes from the airport, but I didn't think the road was all that bad as people said it would be (in US standards, it was pretty bad but the drivers know the roads so well they navigate them with ease), and it was interesting to see part of the island on the way to the resort. I would recommend Sandals Whitehouse to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation.

  • Another vote for Couples! Couples Negril is the most amazing place on earth. Check out their message board at www.couples.com

  • I would think about staying somewhere in Montego Bay or near if it is only 3 days.  You will end up wasting some of your time going through customs and immigration as well as the long drive.  If you do want to go somewhere further away, I suggest hiring a private driver.

    I am a Sandals junkie (not everyone's favorite, we have just had good experiences with the resorts we have been to).  Sandals Royal Carribean (a bit dated) is a nice intimate resort.

    We are going to the Iberostar Grand Rose Hall in May. Friends of ours went there for their honeymoon and loved it!

  • We also went to Sandals Whitehouse for our honeymoon and it was a beautiful resort. The only downside was that the resort was almost 2 hours from the airport. 
  • We love Couples.  We've been twice to Couples Negril and once to Sans Souci.  Both are very nice but we like the Negril side of the island..beautiful sunsets and beaches.
  • Its about a 2 hour drive-but Moondance Cliffs is Negril adults only.  Its a small boutique style resort on the cliffs side of Negril.  The beach area is about a 5 or 10 minute drive away.
