Wife booked us for a week at Couples Swept Away over Christmas break. All inclusive including water sports which is unique among the Couples chain from what I’ve read.
Any experience with this resort or advice for December travel to the island?
No advice. I’m just insanely jealous. Have fun.

My nephew and his wife went to sandals and they loved it. She wants to go back.
According to the Urban Dictionary water sports is certainly unique and somewhat of a niche past time. You certainly like to spice things up!

Just make sure they put plastic over the mattress. 
Hello, my wife and I are currently in the middle of a two week stay in Jamaica. We are at a Secrets Resort right now, but have stayed at a Couples property before. Your resort is in the Negril region, which has some great beaches, but it was a little crowded for our liking. No all-inclusive is going to be perfect, but Couples does a good job with food, beverages, activities. The Couples we stayed at before had snorkeling and scuba, SUP boards, hobbies cats, water skiing, so I imaging yours will as well. We went in late November and except for small intermittent rain showers the weather was great. A bit humid but that’s what you get in the Caribbean.
When we stayed in Negril it was beautiful but there was downsides to our resort (cannot remember the name, it was not a large corporate chain). The main road for that part of the island runs parallel to the beach, and the truck traffic was horrible and loud. Also, the beaches are seamless between resorts, you can walk for miles along the sand, but that means there’s always people. And the persistent non-stop vendors trying to sell you trinkets or drugs. Where we are now has physical boundaries and no one except resort guests has beach access.
I suggest an evening sunset catamaran cruise, those can be fun and lively. We find the Jamaican staff to be happy, friendly and very welcoming wherever we stay. We are from CA so it’s a bit of a treck to get here, but this is our fifth visit and will do it again. Have fun!
