I see a lot written about floaties - does anyone have pics? What makes them so appealing and specific to Couples?

plastic covered foam mats the are used as pads for the deck chairs and double as float mats for the water. Everything is special at Couples maybe not specific....

The Floaties that everyone's speaking about are those thick foam cushions that fit nicely on a chaise lounge, and double as pool/ocean floats. I'm sure someone more clever than me will post a picture of one.

They are white and have the couples logo emblazoned on them (You guys really ought to sell those online, Randy)

I think to a lot of us repeaters the Couples floaties also represent another fond memory, a sort of touchstone image to a place we'd love to be. There is nothing quite as relaxing as floating in the warm Jamaican waves with a drink in your hand, and not a care in the world.

Floaties however are not to be confused with Floaters, which are known to appear after drinking several Bob Marley shots.

a floaty is a cushion that is on the loung chairs. You can take them into the water and lay on them. THEY FLOAT. You will want to have a towel to put on them while sitting on the beach or by the pool. They are rubber and foam. The only thing I can say about specific to Couples. The resorts on both sides do not have them, appealing: you don't have to take blow up rafts to float in the ocean or pool. Have a wonderful vacation
