Two Unique Couples Resorts(R) Rated Among "Top 100 Hotels in the World" by Travel+Leisure Magazine

MONTEGO BAY, JAMAICA--(Marketwired - Jul 16, 2014) - A recent survey of readers compiled by renowned travel publication Travel+Leisure Magazine ranked the top 100 overall hotels and resorts around the world. Two unique Couples Resorts® properties have made this prestigious list -- the Couples Sans Souci, in St. Mary, Jamaica, and Couples Tower Isle, also in St. Mary. Couples Tower Isle is the original Couples Resorts® property, and is generally regarded as the first all-inclusive resort in Jamaica.

In addition to the two winners in the Top 100 overall category, each of the four Couples Resorts® properties was recognized among Travel+Leisure's Top 100 hotels and resorts in the Caribbean, Bermuda and the Bahamas. In fact, all four Couples Resorts® properties in Jamaica made the Top 25 list that covers this region. The survey indicated that the Couples Resorts® property known as Couples Sans Souci took home an impressive #3 spot and Couples Tower Isle ranked #5. Couples Swept Away earned a #15 ranking, while Couples Negril ranked #20 on the list. Two properties within the top 5 spots and all within the top 20 drives a compelling message that Couples Resorts® has a real foot hold in the Caribbean, luxury all-inclusive market among astute and knowledgeable travelers.

These prestigious honors are generally bestowed on resort properties that offer an ideal balance of luxury, relaxed ambiance, and an acute focus on the total guest experience. These results will be featured in the much-anticipated August issue of Travel+Leisure Magazine.

"Travel+Leisure Magazine is a world-class highly insightful resource for travelers," said Lee Issa, Owner and Chairman Of The Board at Couples Resorts. "From the founding of Couples Resorts, our family of staff has focused on a superior guest experience with a brand of barefoot elegance that is second-to-none. It always gives us pause when receiving such high levels of recognition as we continue to define and refine Jamaica's top all-inclusive product."
