DH and I are in the process of planning a group vacation to Jamaica
next May. We're going with 3 other couples, and we've been looking at
either Couples or Sandals Ocho Rios.
DH and I went to Sandals in Negril for our honeymoon, and thought it
was absolutely beautiful. However, we've never been to a Couples
resort, nor do we know anyone who has. Couples is a tiny bit cheaper,
and there are a couple of activities that Sandals doesn't have
(horseback riding and something else). But the Sandals guests have
priviliges at other Sandals, adn there are 2 others nearby in Ocho
Rios where we could go for a different dinner experience (Couples
doesn't have anything like this that we've seen). So, the group is at
an impasse as to which one to choose.
Has anyone been to both? Any opinions or impressions? We're all in
the 27-32 age range, all 4 couples are married (between 1.5 and 6
years). Some of us are more and some are less active than others.
Some people wouldn't mind scheduled resort activities, and some would
prefer to be basically left alone with the sand and rum. Also, we
have on extremely picky eater in the group (who doesn't eat seafood of
any sort. period.)
Any ideas would be great. If we have to, we can always just flip a
coin :) Thanks!
