Earlier this year SuperClubs officially announced the re-branding of several of their resorts (Grand Lido Resorts & Spas, Starfish Resorts & Spas, and Breezes Resorts).
Here are the changes, all of which take effect on November 1, 2009:- Grand Lido Negril Resort & Spa becomes Breezes Grand Resort & Spa – Negril
- Grand Lido Braco Resort & Spa becomes Breezes Resort & Spa – Rio Bueno
The same service, ambiance, restaurant options, premium brand drinks and other amenities you have come to expect over the years will remain. Complimentary manicures, pedicures and laundry/dry cleaning services will no longer be included. Full in-room dining will be available in specified room categories.
In addition to these resort changes, two brand new Breezes Resorts will open:- Breezes Resort & Spa – Panama - the first and only Super-Inclusive resort in Central America and the only to grace the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Breezes Panama opens later this year.
- Breezes Resort & Spa – Buzios - the second Super-Inclusive Breezes Resort in the magnificent nation of Brazil. Located in the legendary beach resort town of Buzios just 105 miles from Rio de Janeiro. Breezes Buzios plans to open late 2009 / early 2010.
SuperClubs, the parent company of Breezes Resorts, will continue to offer its collections of other superior resorts like Hedonism Resorts – the world’s only Super-Inclusive® adults-only resorts and Rooms Resorts – their boutique-style (EP) resorts located in hip cities along the beach in Jamaica. These resort brands remain unchanged.

Just made final payment on our trip to check out the new Couples Tower Isle in Ocho Rios, Jamaica! The resort was formerly called Couples Ocho Rios and has undergone a $25 million renovation. The new name is a historical reference to the resort’s beginnings as a private island paradise and a 1950s and 1960s Hollywood hangout.
Couples Tower Isle has undergone extensive and dramatic changes that include the addition of 20 accommodations – four suites and 16 rooms - all with ocean views. All of the resort’s 226 rooms will feature flat screen televisions. Some bathrooms will feature zero edge walk-in showers. Enhancements have been made to the main pool (including leveling the depth to 5.0 feet throughout and creating a new water feature utilizing the 1950’s-style diving board), lobby, piano bar, main bar and Le Gourmet, Verandah and Terrace dining rooms.
Building on the amazing inclusions, Couples Tower Isle will have brand new amenities include a new wedding gazebo, veggie and juice bar, pool grill, spa with 10 treatment rooms, swimming pool with swim-up bar, new dive pool, gym, aerobics room, photo shop, gift shop, games room, and a floating dock at the resorts’ own private island.
Check back in May for our trip report and photos.
