Couples Resorts has announced that upon completion of a $25 million renovation in December 2008, Couples Ocho Rios will reemerge as Couples Tower Isle. The new name is a historical reference to the resort's beginnings as a private island paradise and a 1950s and 1960s Hollywood hangout.

Couples Tower Isle has undergone extensive and dramatic changes that include the addition of 20 accommodations - four suites and 16 rooms - all with ocean views. All of the resort's 226 rooms will feature flat screen televisions. Some bathrooms will feature zero edge walk-in showers. Enhancements have been made to the main pool (including leveling the depth to 5.0 feet throughout and creating a new water feature utilizing the 1950's-style diving board), lobby, piano bar, main bar and Le Gourmet, Verandah and Terrace dining rooms. For this special occasion Couples Tower Isle is launching a new contest: Rename LeGourmet restaurant and win a free stay.

Building on the amazing inclusions, Couples Tower Isle will have brand new amenities include a new wedding gazebo, veggie and juice bar, pool grill, spa with 10 treatment rooms, swimming pool with swim-up bar, new dive pool, gym, aerobics room, photo shop, gift shop, games room, and a floating dock at the resorts' own private island.

Pioneered by the legendary Abe Issa, the hotel was originally built in 1949 as the Tower Isle Hotel - Jamaica's first year-round resort and first beach resort. Tower Isle Hotel became an instant landmark and a haven for movie stars and celebrities in the 1950s and 1960s. Recognizing a market gap in the tourism sector, Issa charted a new course for the resort in 1978 by introducing a groundbreaking concept of an all-inclusive resort for couples only.

Hoping that history repeats itself, Couples Resorts is pleased to invite you to be the first to experience this romantic resort.
