We arrived last night, flew Virgin which was great, our first hotel which is Couples Negril looks really good as well.

I'll do a full report later but I have an urgent question right now, does anyone know of any worldwide live internet feeds for today's England v France rugby match as I'd really like to watch it if possible?

Decided not to bother to try and watch the match as the sun was shining and the wife wanted to lay in the sun and drink rum punch, it was waiter service on the beach so I couldn't really argue with that!

When the clouds came over and it started raining I caught up with the great result for England on the BBC website then headed back to the bar to watch the rain, read a book and drink more rum punch before a good buffet dinner with nice mellow entertainment and rum and coffee to finish.

Two excellent dives today with a bit of sunning between them and rum punch afterwards, off to the fine dining restaurant tonight with rum punch beforehand of course!

Of course, at Couples you dial 0 and 15 minutes later a full bottle of Appletons appears, the minibar is fully stocked and the ice bucket in the room seems to be magically refilled, if it wasn't for diving, sunshine and food you wouldn't need to leave your room at all.

Had a couple of good dives today and we're off to the managers cocktail party in a few minutes, that will obviously entail drinking rum yet again.

So jealous that you are at a Couples hotel. Off to Couples Sans Souci in June for 14 wonderful nights. Our third time there and probably not the last! Can't wait for that flight out! Enjoy Jamaica time!

We were very impressed by Couples Negril and would definitely go back, unfortunately as we late booked this trip about two weeks ago we could only get four nights there which was not enough.

We're just up the road at Sunset at the Palms now for another five nights, it's pretty nice but quieter with less facilities and no diving included but the beach and the sunset's are the same.

Off to Rick's Bar for the sunset this evening and to drink some rum punch and watch the nutters jump off the cliffs.

try & avoid eye contact with the rogue jumpers.
