Couples Sans Souci Jamaica Dining

Couples Sans Souci has earned high marks for its magnificent cuisine, prepared by award-winning chefs and served with gracious hospitality and an ever-present smile. Dining is indeed a special treat at Couples Sans Souci, from gourmet dishes in the white-glove Ristorante Casanova to delicious fresh-made bistro dishes at Palazzina Restaurant to jerk chicken and spicy Jamaican specialties at our beachside Bella Vista. Choose from a wide selection in a buffet style setting for breakfast and lunch; and for dinner enjoy a delicious a la carte menu.

The only thing that will never vary at our restaurants is the quality. It is always excellent. Always the best. The weekly Jamaican Beach Party is a cultural medley of colors, music and traditional delicacies, while the Friday Night Starlight Gala is a spectacular culinary showcase.

Couples Sans Souci chefs have won more culinary awards than their contemporaries at any other resort in the Caribbean. Our chefs are trained in European, French, Italian, Caribbean and Continental Cuisine. The 2005 Conde Nast Gold List ratings ranked our dining experience as the best of any resort not only in Ocho Rios, but in all of Jamaica.

Ristorante Casanova
The words "La Dolce Vita"-living with passion, surrounding oneself with the resplendent... aptly describe the new menu and surroundings at this marvelous restaurant that is well-known throughout all of Jamaica. The varied menu is a "fantasia selection" of classic Italian cuisine taken from the hills of Tuscany to the craggy cliffs of Sicily. Modern and traditional Italian dishes mix with a dash of Marco Polo discoveries. The rack of lamb, tinged with a light peppercorn crust and served with a Rosemary jus is one small sample of how the inventive menu balances with such classic Italian pasta entrees as a mouth-watering Luchesse Calzoncini, stuffed with ricotta cheese and garlic spinach.

Couples Sans Souci Jamaica Spa Facilities

Charlie’s Spa is Couples Sans Souci’s complete tropical-style facility, and has earned praise as one of the best spas in all of the Caribbean from numerous publications, critics, travel guides and, most importantly, our guests. The spa took its name from “Charlie,” a friendly resident sea turtle. More than 100 years old, Charlie lives in the mineral spring grotto that bubbles up from beneath the resort, spouting rejuvenating waters that rival the great natural mineral springs of Europe.

Our mineral waters are the source from which our popularity first sprang forth. As far back as the 1700s, the mineral springs on the Couples Sans Souci property have been cited in Jamaican history books as excellent for maintaining health and renewing romantic energy. For generations, people from nearby villages would congregate on Sundays, lining up for the entire day to take their dip into the mineral spring with the curious curative powers.

Today, Charlie’s Spa offers a complete array of revitalizing and pampering treatments to relax and tone the body, mind and soul.

In addition to possessing one of the Caribbean’s finest spas, we also boast a 24-hour fitness center, complete with an indoor gym stocked with the latest in aerobics equipment, exercise machines and free weights. We also offer classes in aerobics, yoga, aquacize, Pilates and meditation. The mineral pool is right by the gym if you want to go for an energizing dip. And if you can’t decide what your best workout is, personal trainers are available to assist you in developing a fitness plan.
