Couples Resorts Announces
New LoveAway Plansm
Since Couples Resorts understands now may not be the easiest time
for couples to commit to spending a lot of money; this March,
Couples Resorts has launched a new layaway plan for love that helps
couples plan the romantic vacation they need. The LoveAway Plansm
offers couples the chance to make smaller payments each month
towards their vacation, until final payment is due 45 days before
leaving for their romantic getaway. Couples Resorts hopes this will
ease the financial strain of paying for a vacation all at one time.

Resorts Gives Couples a Second Chance to "Fall in Love Again"
Couples Resorts has extended the company's "Fall in Love Again"
promotion, complete with value added initiatives at all four
properties. The promotion continues to offer savings of up to 50%
per couple for all Couples Resorts properties. Prices begin as low
as $298 per couple per night. In addition to those savings, Couples
Resorts is giving $350 in spa credit AND $150 in gift shop credit to
couples who book stays of seven nights or more at Couples Tower Isle
and Couples Sans Souci. A $175 spa credit and $75 gift shop credit
will be given to those staying at Couples Swept Away and Couples
Negril. To take advantage of these promotions, couples must book
before April 30 for travel between April 12 and December 25, 2009.

Chef at
Couples Swept Away Wins 2009 Culinary Challenge
Chef Anthony Miller of Couples Swept Away tied for a first place
award in the "Seafood from Norway, Culinary Challenge 2009," held in
February 17. The Norwegian Seafood Export Council hosted this
inaugural challenge in Kingston, Jamaica, between the island's 10
leading chefs. Miller's dish, a sugar cane skewered saltfish with
sweet potato escoveitch and wilted spinach, beat nine of the
island's leading chefs in the categories of creativity, taste and
presentation. In addition to a medal and trophy, Anthony Miller won
an all-expenses paid trip to Norway and a cash prize. For more

Couples
Resorts' Modernizes Room Amenities
Starting in March, all four of the Couples Resorts properties in
Negril and Ocho Rios have added ipod/MP3 docking stations to their
rooms. These stations allow couples to create a more personalized
soundtrack during their romantic escape. The docking stations also
double as an alarm clock, letting couples wake to their favorite
tune. Another feature of the new amenity is Hi Fi sound, ipod
playback and charge, wireless remotes and AM/FM radios.
