The Get Swept Away Summer Event Series is underway at Couples Swept Away in Jamaica. This series aims to reimagine romantic getaways with a combination of entertainment, tranquility, and discovery at one of the most sought after all-inclusive resorts in Negril. Couples Swept Away is located directly on the world-famous Seven Mile Beach, home to soft white sand and water so clear you can watch small fish swimming. The resort is the perfect backdrop for this extraordinary series with beachfront suites, fine dining, a luxurious spa, and plenty of sporting activities at the largest fitness complex in Jamaica.

Couples Resorts is a family business founded by Mr. Abraham Issa.

Rooms have plush king size beds, air conditioning, ceiling fans, coffee makers, flat screen televisions, large bathrooms with rain showers, and bathrobes. The design efforts at Couples Resorts are spearheaded by Mrs. Jane Issa, Mr. Abraham Issa’s wife. She has integrated local art and culture into each suite’s décor and rooms are elegant and warm with a romantic atmosphere.
