Honeymoon Registry Brides and grooms-to-be can now register for a honeymoon at any of Couples’ three all-inclusive resorts as easily as they register for their fine china and silver. Couples Resorts partnered with www.Honeymoonwishes.com to make the process streamlined and simple and now, through a link from our Couples website, guests can register for their honeymoon. Plus, the bride and groom can also register for extra add-ons, such as spa treatments or off-site excursions, which can be purchased by friends and family to make the honeymoon even more memorable and romantic. Tech Savvy If you’re reading this newsletter, you most likely know about the Couples Lounge – a place where new and repeat guests can be part of a community joined by their common love of Couples Resorts. The online message board feature continues to grow in popularity as a place where past and potential guests can find out what other visitors and friends are saying. It’s also a place to post specific questions to fellow travelers and share valuable insight. One of the most popular “threads” allows our guests to share their most memorable experiences at the resorts. There are also an increasing number of threads of arriving guests inviting others to connect with them at the resorts. Visit the boards and join our close-knit Couples family. Wedding Reservations Online We have introduced a new online wedding calendar that streamlines the process for confirming your wedding at Couples Resorts. Our travel agents, reservation desks and wedding coordinators can all access this portal to make sure our guests’ weddings are confirmed hassle-free. Air/Hotel Packages Online Our upgraded online booking engine now gives you the ability to book not only hotel reservations, but hotel and airline package reservations as well. A Fresh Look Couples Ocho Rios is new and improved just in time for 2005. Nine months of extensive hotel upgrades, renovations and conversions and nearly two million dollars was allocated to restore the resort to its original Old World Jamaican charm. Everything from hallways to restaurants to outdoor sport facilities have been refurbished to ensure the romance, luxury and comfort that you, our savvy customers, have come to expect.
