#7 - Couples Sans Souci

Couples Resorts’ founder Abe Issa opened Jamaica’s first year-round resort—Tower Isle Hotel—in 1949 and never looked back.
In 1978, he pioneered the all-inclusive concept for couples to the island—blending luxury, romance and value under one roof. Named Couples Ocho Rios, it served as the corner stone for building the Couples Resorts brand.
Aptly dubbed “The Father of Jamaican Tourism,” Abe understood the importance of creating resorts as luxurious as they are authentic. By intertwining local Caribbean culture, spectacular natural settings and first-rate amenities, he achieved an undeniably successful combination.
Today, Couples Resorts proudly owns and operates five all-inclusive luxury boutique resorts in the Caribbean-four in Jamaica and one in Barbados. Embracing a casual yet chic style infused with pure Jamaican island, each one offers a genuine, intimate and truly memorable experience.
Still very much a family business, Couples Resorts is led by Abe's son, Lee, and other members of the Issa family, who along with a dedicated team of management and staff, remain committed to Abe's pioneering vision and dedicated to making sure that each visit is a perfect one.
