Couples Resorts Introduces Signature Wine
Couples Resorts recently announced the newest addition to its brand – a
hand-picked 2005 Napa Valley Merlot. At the beginning of February, the
wine is being distributed to all four Couples Resorts properties,
located in Negril and Ocho Rios. The Napa Valley merlot has an aroma of
cherry, plum, leather and black pepper with a velvety, full-bodied
finish. Bottles of the new signature wine will be available at a very
reasonable price for couples to enjoy on property or bring home, as a
classic memento or a great gift for friends and family. The winemaker,
Dominick Chicichillo is self-taught and attributes his passion for
winemaking to his grandfather, Domenico Giovianzzo
Couples Tower Isle Grand Re-Opening Expected to Raise the Bar for
Romance
The long-awaited debut of Couples Resorts' newest property, Couples
Tower Isle, is set for April 12, 2009. Formerly known as Couples Ocho
Rios, more than $30 million has been invested into transforming the
property into one of Jamaica's newest luxury all-inclusives. While
luxury and romance have always been associated with the Couples Resorts
brand, the new Couples Tower Isle property sets a new standard with
additions including new ocean-view suites with zero edge walk-in
showers, a new luxury spa with rooms for couples massages, a new $1
million state-of-the-art kitchen, new swimming pool with swim-up bar, as
well as renovations in the main lobby and historic piano bar.
Couples Negril Takes Part in Issa Trust Foundation Community Outreach
Program
Couples Negril is working alongside its longtime partner, the Issa Trust
Foundation, to renovate the Clifton Boys' Home, a home for local
orphaned and homeless Jamaican boys. Through its partnership with the
Issa Trust Foundation, a nonprofit community outreach organization,
Couples Resorts has taken part in many projects to promote Jamaica's
well-being and development. In addition to completing renovations to the
exterior and interior of the boy's home, Couples Resorts and the Issa
Trust Foundation are also providing computers, a stove and school
supplies, and are helping to host the home's annual Christmas party. For
