Picolo recommends · Hotel in Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Couples Sans Souci
Pink buildings step down a green slope to small coves east of Ocho Rios, and the snorkelling starts a few strokes from the sand.
Couples Sans Souci climbs a hillside just east of Ocho Rios, its pink buildings set among gardens with pools on several levels. At the bottom are small beaches and clear water, and the spa sits close to the sea.
Only couples stay, and meals and drinks are included. The mood is calm during the day and gently social in the evening, which is why honeymooners have been coming back for years.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Couples Sans Souci
We chose Sans Souci as our pick for couples in Jamaica. It is a classic honeymoon resort that still feels relaxed, with plenty to do when you want it and no pressure when you do not. Guests rate the service highly.
The resort is built on a slope, so expect steps between your room, the pools and the beach. The beaches are small coves rather than a long stretch of sand, and families cannot stay.
