Thread: February Photo Contest

1- morning on the beach at CTI
2- speed trap: stop, or take a chance on the machine gun?
3- midnight rain on the island

We just returned from our first amazing couples vacation - it won't be our last. We have not downloaded all our mega pictures but here are some of our favorites so far. Note our theme is nature (one of the reasons we chose CSS)
1. Anole displaying its colours (maybe trying to attract a female)
2. Couples don't only come in humans - we loved the pond for its nature and saw this "couple" of herons - we think they were contemplating supper
3. Doctor bird (Jamaica's national symbol)

We just returned from Couples Swept Away where we went for our honeymoon Here are a few pictures from the trip.

1)Our beach chairs, where we sat and made plans to spend our first anniversary at Couples this time next year

2) Honeymoon in Jamaica - writing in the sand

3) The beautiful hibiscus outside our room (which happened to be our wedding flowers!)

We stayed at Couples Swept Away Negril Jan. 18 through Jan. 22, 2010. It was wonderful and below are a few of my favorite pics!

Our last night at Couples Negril.

Memories from our honeymoon at Couples Negril in July 2009


One of our favorite activities at Couples Negril combined with our favorite view!



Paradise in the distance coupled with beautiful landscape



The highlight of our honeymoon was arriving to the table for our romantic sunset dinner on the beach and seeing my new last name for the first time!

On our January 2010 (14th) visit to our favorite resort we were pleased that CTI added a new restroom near the Bayside as part of the beautiful renovation.

We visited CSA for New Year's 2010. (Dec27-Jan3) Here are a few of our favorites from trip #4:

Nothing's better than floating in the Caribbean and having this view instead of your work computer!

We immensely enjoyed our first visit to both Jamaica and Couples. Our expectations were high after reading all the glowing reviews on this message board. Our expectations were not only met, but greatly exceeded by the wonderful folks at Couples Negril. A big part of our deciding on a Couples vacation was due to the information and photographs we discovered on this board. Here are a few images from our visit which we hope may inspire someone else pondering their choices. BTW, we've already booked a return trip to CTI this April!


The catamaran cruise is not to be missed - the excitement of the boat ride, the music, drink, dancing, and certainly the beautiful sunset on the way back.
Here's a toast to the fun shared by all.



The beauty of the grounds also impressed me. Even a simple mushroom growing on a log near the spa captured my attention.



The elegance of Otaheite is noteworthy. Its ambience sets the tone for the evening - the food is wonderful!
