Caribbean Room With a View: A Beachfront Suite at Couples Negril

If Negril, Jamaica really is, as they say, the capital of casual, then Couples Negril, on the town’s celebrated seven-mile strip, is its romance hub.

One of four Couples resorts on the island, the adults-only all-inclusive has 234 rooms, none more quintessentially Caribbean than this beachfront suite.

Decorated in colorful island-chic style, the interiors encourage lingering in air-conditioned comfort. But step out onto the patio, and suddenly temperature control becomes incidental.

Because there, mere steps away, is a seaside vista that’s the stuff of island dreams: swaying palms, gentle waves, and a dreamy twilight scene painted just for you.

So feel free to cozy up in that inviting hammock for two and take it in. After all, a/c can wait. But the sunset won’t.
