Couples Swept Away is the only Jamaica Couples resort that does not have any nude area. Couples San Souci has a nude beach and pool on the sunset side, but it opens to everyone prior to sunset.

Don said: Without a doubt Sans Souci. I don't like the nude beach area in Negril as it is too open to people walking by. Getting to Tower Island isn't as bad as it used to be since they got the new boat to the island. Sans Souci has a separate nude beach and pool area and the rest of the resort is outstanding. I've been to all except Swept Away (no nude beach). San Souci is a beautiful resort and it has a very nice nude area, but the beaches at the resort SUCK! PERIOD! If you are a beach person and swimming in the ocean is important to you, avoid this resort at all costs. Tower Isle? Very nice resort, BUT! You are at the mercy of the weather as it pertains to access to the nude island. Windy and rough seas? The water taxi to and from the island does not run. Couples Negril? Great beach, BUT! Not a very good nude area on the beach. You are on display when entering the water because you are sharing the beach with textiles. That said, I would pick Negril over all the rest. After a few drinks the textile folks become a blur and are easily ignored when entering the sea. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />

...and if you have any physical limitations avoid San Souci. The resort is not easy to navigate. It's built on a very steep grade. Many steps to walk up and down.

Wrap the cushions/floats around you to go into the ocean at Negril...that's what we always did to avoid the gawkers. I've been to Tower Isle and Sans Souci too but like Negril the best (still doesn't beat Orient Beach though).

I have been to both CTI and San Souci.
For the AN facilities, San Souci would be my choice. The Island at CTI is nice, but red flag days are common where it is too rough for the boat to take guests out to the Island. I have not been to Couples Negril, but I have heard frequently from those who have been there about the lack of privacy on the nude beach.
A few other observations, there are a lot of stairs at San Souci, but there is a service road down the behind the buildings which can help you avoid a lot of the stairs.
Tower Island is a fun party resort with really good dining options - better dining than CSS in our view. CSS has a much more laid back vibe than CTI in our experience.
Both are nice resorts and you will not really go wrong with either one.

Not sure if you're locked into just Couples for sure. We just returned from Grand Lido Negril, which has a clothing optional section of the resort. GLN has a lot of problems, but the c/o section of the resort right now is a good bargain, or it was when we went last week. They are supposed to be doing renovations soon and the prices will go up.
