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