I would vote for Couples. They have the atmosphere that you are looking for. I visited Couples Swept Away and they allow you be as alone with your partner as you want, the night life there is very good. They have a piano bar that stays open as long as people are there. Check out www.couples.com on the left side of the page there is a link to their message board. There are a ton of answers to many questions I had before picking out a resort.

We love Couples Negril. We chose Negril because of the 7 mile beach. I wouldnt' say it was the "party" scene but we definately had fun with other couples and playing volleyball through the day. The relaxation on the beach, and throwing up our red flag when we needed a drink refill was the best! We loved the nightly entertainment and it was our perfect honeymoon. check out couples.com, they have a blog there where you can chat with others and see their photos and recommendations on all the couples resorts. We researched this to find which resort fit our style. Good luck, I don't think you can go wrong

If you r staying in a Resort , most are fine, but the murders and crime in Jamaica right now are very bad and getting worse. Be very careful if you should leave the compound. I lived in Jamaica for many years and was very glad to return to America. The island is beautiful but the people are not nice, don't trust anyone.

Either of these are good. I have been to all of the couples resorts and sandals properties. My suggestion would be Sandals Negril, Sandals Whitehouse or Sandals Dunns River. If you wan Couples I would suggest Couples Negril or Couples San Souci. You will not be dissapointed in any of these. They cater to honeymoon couples everyone during the day are into each other at the pool or on the beach unless you are at the swim up bar. Couples offers tours with their packages. I agree with the other comment you do not want to go out on your own, but the resorts are perfectly safe. If you want more info email me as I said I have been to all and they each have their own atmosphere.

Couples Negril in Jamaica. In the day time we relaxed by ourselves on the beach, in the pool, and in the ocean. There were plenty of activities included at the resort that kept us busy, but we didn't want any outside trips.There are a lot of opportunites for outside trips though. Couples Negril has a good nightlife. Live entertainment and the last bar and food place doesn't close until the last person leaves!!

My vote would be for Sandals. We've stayed at Sandals Inn (in Montego Bay), Sandals Montego Bay, and Sandals Negril. When we were at Negril, it was the slow season and there wasn't much going on at all. We did not like our time there. Sandals inn is small & personal (cheap too), but it doesn't have a private beach and you'll spend a lot of time going to the other resorts on the buses. We loved Montego Bay, but it is a party resort. There's always something going on, and they try to get you involved. We never had any trouble with them being overly pushy. The great thing about staying in the Montego Bay area is that you have 3 resorts which they'll bus you between for free. So you have a lot of choices, especially for dinner. Personally I can't recommend any resort in the superclubs chain to anyone. My husband and I were in Jamaica on 9/11/01 and were extremely impressed with the concern & professionalism exhibited by the Sandals staff. Each couple was given 3 nights stay for free (keep in mind we were still eating & drinking just the same) until they could get a plane back to the states. If you were still stuck after 3 days, your rate was $150 per room (huge discount especially for the ones that run $9000 for the week). We met a couple at the airport who stayed at one of the Superclubs resorts and they told us that they were told to pay up or get out. There were 2 couples who didn't have the cash or credit cards to pay and they were asked to leave. Sandals took these 2 couples in. Since then I can't say enough good things about Sandals or resist sharing our experience. Good Luck!

My girlfriend and I stayed at Sandals Negril in August. It definitely had a party atmosphere. We would hang out at the jumping pool bar in the afternoon but in the mornings we would lounge around by ourselves. You would always see the same people at the bars. But what I found amazing was the people we would see at dinner and on the beach that were not taking part in the hopping party. Some days we chose just to hang on the beach away from the craziness. So there was enough space to seclude yourself from it, but where is the fun in that?

As for the late night party? Yes the bars are open late, but past midnight everyone is so exhausted that it gets pretty dead. Trust me you'll have so much fun when the sun is out you'll be tired too.
