yes and we would sneak in to Negril Beach Village by going into the old Coconut Grove and coming in from the beach side. Rickman should us how. yes man some memories!

That would have been cool to see back then, were there a lot of coconut groves close to the each back then George?

That was an interesting read, thanks. I was curious about the Couples poster that was commissioned, printed and then abandoned because it was suggestive, here it is http://www.amazon.com/Couples-Heathe.../dp/B0073WSL1S

poolguywindsor......your initial link seemed very familiar to the Couples Resorts history that I know through their website....although the story seems to kind of end with the 70's....As many of us know, the Issa family has ties to both Couples AND Superclubs, although both companies are separate entities....Interesting that while SuperClubs is slowly exiting the island one property at a time(assuming of course, that Hedo will keep going), The former Grand Lido Negril/Breezes Negril is a pending sale to no other than(and the neighboring property) Couples Resorts. Hedo III in Runaway Bay was sold, as well as (my 1st ever JA trip->)Breezes Runaway Bay...and 1 or 2 more properties I believe, just in the last year or two. SuperClubs still goes on as far as I know in Bahamas, Brazil, Cuba, and Curacao(and probably more places I'm not aware of)....I wonder what's up with all that....anyway, here's a similar..yet brief link to the Issa's and Couples: http://couples.com/history.php

....by the way, my 1st Ja trip was in '93 when the property was called "Jamaica Jamaica". I knew I'd be back, even though it took 14 years and a wife to get back:o

No longer. Couples has instead purchased the Almond Casuarina Beach Resort in Barbados and will be rebranded as Couples Barbados.
