Couples Resorts
is pleased to announce that upon completion of a $25 million
renovation in March 2009, Couples Ocho Rios will reemerge
as Couples Tower Isle. The new name is a historical
reference to the resort’s beginnings as a private island
paradise and a 1950s and 1960s Hollywood hangout.
Couples Tower
Isle has undergone extensive and dramatic changes that
include the addition of 20 accommodations – four suites and
16 rooms - all with ocean views. All of the resort’s 226
rooms will feature flat screen televisions. Some bathrooms
will feature zero edge walk-in showers. Enhancements have
been made to the main pool (including leveling the depth to
5.0 feet throughout and creating a new water feature
utilizing the 1950’s-style diving board), lobby, piano bar,
main bar and Le Gourmet, Verandah and Terrace dining rooms.
Building on the amazing inclusions, Couples Tower Isle
will have brand new amenities include a new wedding gazebo,
veggie and juice bar, pool grill, spa with 10 treatment
rooms, swimming pool with swim-up bar, new dive pool, gym,
aerobics room, photo shop, gift shop, games room, and a
floating dock at the resorts’ own private island.
“With an investment of over $25 million in upgrades,
enhancements and renovations, the time has come for a new
era for the original all-inclusive resort for couples only,”
states Lee Issa, Chairman of Couples Resorts. “To reinforce
the storied history and old-world charm and emphasize our
focus on the future, we feel the unveiling of our Grand Lady
deserves a fresh start to carry on the legacy that is –
Couples Resorts.”
Pioneered by the
legendary Abe Issa, the hotel was originally built in 1949
as the Tower Isle Hotel - Jamaica’s first year-round resort
and first beach resort. Tower Isle Hotel became an instant
landmark and a haven for movie stars and celebrities in the
1950s and 1960s. Recognizing a market gap in the tourism
sector, Issa charted a new course for the resort in 1978 by
introducing a groundbreaking concept of an all-inclusive
resort for couples only.
Hoping that history repeats itself, we are pleased to
invite you to be the first to experience this romantic
resort.
