Couples Swept Away

Ieshia Davis

I had an amazing experience at the resort. I got married there last week and everything was great. I especially appreciate the staff specifically the wedding staff (Rochelle and Desmont) who were very professional and accomodating. They made my day go so smooth and I'm grateful for that. The night entertain (I do not remember the band's name) but they were awesome and full of energy. The massages at the spa across the street was great and I usually hate massages. The makeup artist the day of my wedding did a fantastic job. I showed her my inspo photo and she did exactly what I asked for. The atomsphere is just relaxing and I honestly wish we would have booked more time there. I almost forgot to mention that the different varieties of food was great as well and I highly reccomend the private dinner on the beach. The beach in the daytime is absolutely breathtaking. We were extremely pleased with everything and may spend our 1st anniversary there.

Overall, good all inclusive vacation resort if you can get it for less than $3k a week. We would go back if the price was right. We went during their low season so things were a bit different than normal. One of their four restaurants was closed, some nights there was no buffet option, and for about 2 hours every day there were no food options at all. There were lots of new people being trained too. Everything except the 2ish hour window with no food options at all makes lots of sense during the low season. The food was all good on average, a few things were great and a few things were duds. One annoying thing is that if a buffet was out of something, it didn't appear as though they ever replenished it; out of 7 days I only actually saw bacon or their "famous" banana stuffed French toast twice. Most of the restaurant staff were cheery and attentive, some seemed very new to serving though. Also seemingly because it was low season, one of the beach bars was closed but the other two were more than capable of handling the low number of guests at the resort at the time. Drinks were good and they didn't skimp on the alcohol. Bars also had some "top shelf" options. The bartenders mostly seemed a bit grumpy and annoyed when I asked for for drinks other than beer. The room we rented, an ocean view veranda, had a great layout, had a great patio, a great view, and nice amenities like a fridge, safe, plenty of drawers and hanging space. Housekeeping was perfect including daily water carafe and ice bucket fills. We did have to move rooms late in our vacation because our room literally flooded (it wasn't anything we did) but front desk staff did all they could moving us to an "upgraded" beachfront room and even having a bellman move out luggage for us. That beachfront room however was a bit rundown. There was very little light in the room and there was no glass in the windows, just shutters which barely kept the heat and humidity out. The AC could not keep up. We only need the room for one night so we dealt with it. I would never book a room without real windows. The resort grounds were beautiful and very well maintained including the lush area between the rooms and the beach. There are plenty of entertainment activities beyond lounging on the beach from free fitness classes throughout the day, beach volleyball games, Cornhole tournaments, paddle boards, water bikes, snorkeling excursion (yes, free!), a 2.5 hour catamaran excursion ending with a sunset view (also free but tips for the subcontracted crew were solicited), to a piano bar, dance lessons, dj parties, and a beach bonfire.

Our second visit to CSA. T he beach & clear water cannot be beat! It was off-season so the resort was less crowded-which was a bonus. Although with this bonus came less amenities as a restaurant & bars were closed. It's a trade-off based on what you like. The staff were somewhat less helpful & friendly than our priorities stay, which was disappointing. The food at Feathers, Lemongrass and the ala carte nights at The Palms were impeccable!

I enjoyed my time at couples swept away except for a few things. Positives: The location was very nice, I really enjoyed being able to walk right on the long strip of the beach every single day. The food availability of food at almost all hours was great, I never felt rushed to get breakfast, lunch or dinner. The health and wellness center was also great. A lot of equipment to choose from at the gym and many other athletic options to choose from. Negatives: The lack of lighting in the room. The only working lights in our room was the overhead lights on the bathroom vanity and the bedroom vanity. (and entrance/hallway). The bedside lights never worked and when we asked for it be resolved, nothing happened. The bathroom needed some obvious upgrading but it looks like they are in the process of doing that in some of the buildings. Our iron was also broken and leaking water (all over the suite that needed to be worn in a few hours) but they were able to replace that within 30 minutes. I'm also curious about the privacy of some of these rooms, the first room we had, all 3 walls facing the outside had shutters that you would need to open since there was little to no lights in the room. Overall I'm not sure if I would stay here again (not soon anyway) since it looks like they are in the process of doing some updates on the resort. Hopefully these issues are taken into consideration because I think it is a beautiful resort and the location is excellent as well.

My wife and I had a wonderful time! The beach was beautiful and had very few people on it making the beach almost feel like your own. Restaurants were on point and food was great. Loved the rooms and how they're tucked away in what feels like a forest !
