2nd time only at an all-inclusive hotel. The 1st time was in Egypt and was so bad we left after 24 hours and stayed in a 5* Hilton down the road - so we weren't sure what to expect - we have high standards :-) We stayed at Tower Istle from 3-14 January 2012.

We had booked a premier ocean view room. It was great. Very clean, everything worked, quiet and effective aircon, and a lovely big balcony with a great sea view. We had breakfast there almost every day.

Restaurants and drinks were great. Far better than I thought they'd be and no queues anywhere. It felt very quiet and relaxed. Easy to get sunbeds by pool or on the beach. Staff all very friendly and helpful.

Going in January meant it was warm enough, but first few days were VERY windy and cloudy. Weather was much better 2nd half of the holiday.

We weren't interested in sports etc. - just wanted a chill-out vacation near a pool and beach. For us it was brilliant - the pool was rather cold though - wish it had been heated.

We don't believe in revisiting places, but I'd definitely recommend this hotel if you want a quiet, relaxing, stress-free holiday.

My husband and I did Secret Rendevous and ended up at Tower Isle in a Garden View room. This was our third Couples trip. Each resort is special in it's own way. This property is small, but there is plenty to do. Can't say enough about the food; every meal was excellent. There are two free excursions; Dunn's River Falls and a catamaran trip. Do both. We booked a massage at the spa; worth the extra cost. The beach is small. If long walks on the beach are important to you, consider Negril.

The beach is quite small and gets shaded by 5.00 pm or even earlier, although the island gets the sun until sundown, so why are the none nudists not allowed on the island. This is discrimination (there was only about 10% of the holidays makers who were nude bathers), we had to go without sun whilst the nudist enjoyed the sun until late, this was felt by most of the none nudist. There is no sunshades around the pool or on the beach so you had to get under a tree or under the sail shades. There is also a policy of no bottled water, you did not have the choice. There is also no bathtubs in the bathrooms, only showers, I prefer a bath (back problems) and this was not indicated in the brochure. There is a few more gripes but nothing substantial, the major one being the island only for nude bathers, surely it would be fairer to alternate the days for bathing/nude/non nude, after all we paid the same money. I would not come back to this hotel because of the "nude policy".

My husband and I traveled to Tower Isle back in April of 2009. At that time, they were just finishing up beautiful renovations throughout the resort. Although there was minor construction going on, we barely noticed, because the rest of the resort was just perfect. The renovations have long been completed, and I'm sure the structures are even better than they were back then. The room was just right, very clean with a brand new bathroom. I would recommend an ocean view...it really was magnificent. The staff is very friendly and helpful without being overbearing. We really enjoyed the intimate setting. It was not a huge resort, and certainly not crowded. There were enough people there, though, that we were able to make some friends and get to know the staff. There is not a lot of entertainment in the evening (bands in the outdoor dining room, and a piano player/singer in the piano bar), but there are lots of activities to participate in during the day (I enjoyed pictionary by the pool bar as well as our free snorkeling outting!). Our favorite thing to do was to hang out in the pool with the swim up bar. The pina-coladas with a rum float on top should not be missed! We went on a couple excursions, including the catamaran cruise (a group of about eight dolphins swam right along our boat and the snorkeling was awesome, including the rum punch!), and a trip to Dunn's River Falls (a moderate hike up the falls in a very beautiful setting....lots of fun). We also had resort credit through our travel agent (unforgettablehoneymoons.com), and so we had several spa treatments, including massages, manicure, and a bodywrap). The spa is beautiful and their services are top notch. The food at the resort was very good. The had a variety of food and we were able to eat at all the a la carte restaurants. I would definitely recommend this resort for anyone that is looking for a relaxing vacation at a smaller, adults only all-inclusive. Couples definitely includes a lot of extras for free that other resorts charge for. Definitely worth the price! I highly recommend Couples Tower Isle.
