Great observations Westy! You are right on about the COUPLES cult. My first trip to JA was CSA, my then GF took me. I liked it just fine and under certain circumstances may even return. I did however notice when visiting their message board if you dare to pass the Kool-Aid cup without drinking you are damned to hell! They (COUPLES) just like every other resort in every other country have their ups and downs. I did have a thought that if I took another GF to JA and we were staying at TREEHOUSE would she think I didn't want to spring for COUPLES or RIU? Interesting thoughts!! I won't ever join the great debate, I have friends ask me about one verse the other and I tell them what I feel the pros and cons of each are (each do have their pros and cons) and I usually recommend if its their first time and if they don't feel up to doing a ton of research and don't want to exercise their personal tolerance then they would likely be better off at a JEWEL or RIU type place. You can always venture off on a later trip.
