Best Time to Visit Curacao
The
During peak season in Curaçao, you can explore popular attractions like the Ostrich Farm. This farm tour includes a thrilling safari ride and a chance to see baby ostriches. Plein Air Curaçao, a large-scale painting event open to the public, and Curaçao Culinair, one of the island’s largest food festivals, happen in April, during peak season. The allure of peak season has much to do with the incredible weather. And as you might expect, it’s a very busy time to fly to this island. We’ll explore more about peak season a little later on.
Weather Considerations
Weather considerations are important when it comes to booking an island getaway. It’s always best to travel with good weather in sight, but there are other things to consider too. Before confirming your vacation dates, let’s dive in a little deeper and explore what you can expect with Curaçao’s weather.
We’ll start with the temperatures. If there were one word to describe Curaçao’s temperatures, it would be consistent. This island is warm year-round. On average, you can expect things to be in the region of 78°F to 88°F (26°C to 31°C). This island has a dry season from January to September and a rainy season from October to December. But, even in the rainy season, showers don’t usually last long. They’re typically localized as well. Overall, Curaçao just doesn’t have as much rainfall as other tropical destinations. This is much due to its arid climate. As for sea temperatures, these range from 26°C to 29°C (79°F to 84°F) throughout the year.
As for hurricanes, Curaçao is outside of the hurricane belt which makes it much less likely that these types of interruptions will affect your vacation. A very promising vacation forecast, if you ask us!
Peak vs. Off-Peak Seasons
Peak season is the most popular time to travel to Curaçao. This time of year is best for vacations with lots of beach time and diving. Tours, excursions and activities are readily available too. As peak season is such an incredible time to visit this island, especially for travelers who want to escape colder temperatures, it can be more costly to travel during this time. The good news? You can work around this if you book your vacation early.
The next best time to vacation in Curaçao is during the low season (September to early November). During this time, the island is quieter with less crowds at popular attractions. This can be a good time to visit Curaçao for a low-key tropical escape. Low season can come with accommodation and flight deals, so this is something that you can look out for ahead of your trip.
Then there’s shoulder season. This is another off-peak option for traveling to Curaçao. The shoulder season (May to November) offers the best of both worlds: pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and better deals. If you’re looking to save money and don’t mind the occasional rain shower, consider visiting during the off-peak months.
Getting Around Curacao
Ahead of touching down in Curaçao there’s a few things you’ll need to figure out. This includes transportation arrangements for getting around the island. As with trips to other destinations, this largely depends on your budget, travel style and where you’ll be staying. The good thing about this island is that the road network is well maintained, and most major attractions are accessible by car. This leaves many options open to get around, including by bus, taxi, or with a car rental.
Some visitors prefer to rely on public transportation to get around. If you choose to explore this route, this will involve making your way around the island on the public bus system known as “Konvoi”. This system connects major towns and visitor areas. Other travelers prefer the car rental option which can be convenient. If you don’t want to drive, taxis are also an option. It all depends on the attractions you plan on visiting during your vacation.
Rental Car vs. Public Transportation
The are a few important considerations when comparing the car rental option with public transportation in Curaçao. Rental cars are best for flexibility and convenience but can cost more. This can be a worthwhile option if you’ve got off-the-beaten-path excursions (remote beaches and visits to the countryside) on your Curaçao itinerary. With last-minute itinerary changes, this type of flexibility comes in handy. Most major car rental companies operate in Curaçao.
Public transportation can be convenient for short stops, particularly when exploring areas around the city (Willemstad). Buses are a more budget-friendly option for getting around. If you want a guided excursion as you make your way around the island, tour operators and taxis are the best option.
Good to know: If you plan on taking out a rental in Curaçao, keep in mind that driving is on the right side of the road.
Where to Stay in Curaçao

With clear water and diverse marine life, there’s lots you can get up to on your beach day. As the island is in the southern Caribbean, the water tends to be calmer on the leeward (western coast), which makes this area ideal for swimming and water sports.

There are over 500 species of fish and 65 species of coral in the waters around this island. Make a point of checking out some of the best dive spots in Curaçao or just snorkel near your resort!
Cultural and Historical Sites
Curaçao has a range of cultural and historical sites beginning with the UNESCO World Heritage city of Willemstad (the capital). Exploring this and other locations can provide insight into the island’s colonial past and cultural evolution. A multicultural society with a mix of Papiamentu, Dutch, English, and Spanish being the main languages, here’s where you can begin:
Willemstad’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites
Blending Dutch colonial style with Caribbean influences, Willemstad, the capital city of Curaçao speaks to the vibrancy of this island. Handelskade, the colorful buildings near the waterfront, are a source of intrigue for many. These and other historical buildings in the city provide a glimpse into Curaçao's colonial past. The architecture is one of the things that stands out about this city, and you can explore many local attractions in this area including museums.
While in Willemstad, venture to the Queen Emma Bridge for a stroll. This is a floating pontoon bridge that swings open to allow ships to pass and it’s a key fixture in the city with captivating views. To see even more colorful and unique Dutch colonial architecture, visit the Punda and Otrobanda districts. These areas are separated by St. Anna Bay and feature quaint Dutch colonial architecture.
Kura Hulanda Museum
The exhibits at the Kura Hulanda Museum are housed in restored 18th and 19th-century buildings. This museum is a must-visit if you want to learn about the transatlantic slave trade and its impact on Curaçao and Caribbean region at large. Located in Otrobanda, the collection within these walls includes artifacts, documents, and interactive displays. The complex history of the islands comes to life here and there are over 5,000 artifacts. Kura Hulanda has the largest African collection in the Caribbean. Guided tours are available.
Natural Wonders and Outdoor Adventures
Trying to figure out what to do in Curaçao for a week? For a vacation that includes lots of time outdoors, there are some key spots you might want to include in your itinerary. This goes beyond just the beaches and extends to the diverse landscapes and other stand out natural attractions. Here’s a few of the most popular:
Christoffel National Park
Curaçao’s semi-arid climate has influenced the unique flora and fauna on the island. There are endemic species found nowhere else in the world on these shores, and one of the best places to see this for yourself is the Christoffel National Park. As conservation efforts on this island are in place to protect both terrestrial and marine ecosystems, parks like this continue to thrive.
Christoffel National Park is the largest on this island. You can find a variety of hiking trails here, with the most challenging being the hike to the top of Mount Christoffel, the island's highest point at 1,220 feet (372 meters). Apart from this trail, there are other trails in this park that are suitable for less experienced hikers. The best time to hike at this park is in the early morning to avoid the heat. It’s possible to explore Christoffel National Park on foot, by car, or with a guided tour. While here, look out for the Curaçao White-tailed Deer.
Good to know: Christoffel National Park is open every day between 9 am and 4 pm. Entrance costs around USD $10 per person.
Shete Boka National Park
Skete Boka translates to “seven inlets”, and this is a national park in northern Curaçao. There’s an underwater cavern here known as Boka Tabla that showcases the raw power of the ocean. This is one of the highlights of this park which also serves as a nesting ground for sea turtles. As such, it’s an important conservation zone and covers about 10 kilometers along the island’s coast. The Shete Boka National Park has notable limestone formations that are interesting to see up close. It’s worth adding this park to your Curaçao vacation itinerary if you want to spend some time in a serene environment with scenic vistas.
Local Markets
Supporting local markets is a good way to give back to the island of Curaçao. After all, the locals really are the ones that keep things moving. The Old Market (Marsche Bieuw) or Serena's Art Factory are two of the best options for this type of experience. At these locations, you’ll be able to purchase handmade craft items like the famous Chichi dolls, hand-painted and adorned in vibrant dresses. The name chichi means “older sister”, and this is one of the most popular souvenir items to take back home from Curaçao. If you visit Serena's Art Factory, you’ll be able to participate in workshops to paint your own Chichi doll.
Another option is the Floating Market in Willemstad. At this location, Venezuelan traders sell fresh produce and fish from their boats. Spices can sometimes be purchased at this bustling location. If you’re on a walking tour, getting to this location leads to other souvenir shops and outdoor market locations. The best part about supporting the local markets and buying souvenirs and local products is that you’re helping to support local artisans, vendors, and their families.
Good to know: Aside from the attractions mentioned, there are lots of other opportunities to go beyond the ordinary in Curaçao. During your vacation, you can experience Curaçao’s unique geological formations, including limestone terraces and volcanic rock, which contribute to its diverse landscape.
Culinary Experiences and Nightlife

To see Curaçao in full color, take some time to experience the culinary scene and nightlife. This island has a vibrant entertainment scene that can range from laid-back beach bars to energetic nightclubs. Some of the spots worth visiting include Madero Ocean Club on Mambo Beach Boulevard, Wet & Wild Beach Club, Cabana Beach Club, Miles Jazz Café, Club Zen, and others. The weekly Punda vibes held every Thursday in the Punda district is also a well-attended event.
As for the local cuisine, you’ll notice from day one that this reflects the island’s multicultural heritage. The African, Dutch, and Caribbean flavors melded together with local touches really speak to the heart of the island. As you explore the traditional dishes and international fusion cuisine, you might want to adjust your Curaçao itinerary to fit in even more dining experiences!
Local Cuisine and Dining
Curaçao’s culinary landscape is filled with undeniably enticing options. This can be seen through the street food that you might come across while there and the
Keshi yená - This is Curaçao’s national dish, and it consists of spiced chicken and vegetables with cheese as the binding agent. This dish is sometimes filled with olives and prunes as well. With African and Dutch influences, you can find Keshi Yená at many local restaurants on the island.
Funchi - A foodie's day in Curaçao might start with a traditional breakfast of Funchi. This is essentially cornmeal porridge that resembles polenta. Funchi is sometimes served as a side with other island staples.
Stoba (stew) – A hearty stew that can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Stoba is made with chicken, beef, or goat, and these ingredients are slow cooked with fresh vegetables and aromatic spices. This is one of those items that you should try at least once!
Pastechi – This dish falls in the street food category and it consists of fried pastries filled with cheese, meat or fish. These crescent shaped snacks have a flaky crust and are similar to empanadas.
Blue Curaçao liqueur – Blue Curaçao liqueur is made from the peels of the laraha citrus fruit native to Curaçao. This liqueur falls in the category of must-try drinks in Curaçao. It is a commonly seen ingredient for cocktail recipes!
Aside from these, there are many incredible
Food Tours and Cooking Classes
Food tours are a wonderful way to get a little closer to island culture. And with cooking classes available in Curaçao, you’ll also be able to take a piece of the island home with you after your visit. Either of these are a good option to explore the island’s cuisine. Local food tours will take you to some of the most popular restaurants and street food locations on the island, often in and around Willemstad. Cooking classes on the other hand make it possible to learn how to make traditional food items. These activities are best for travelers who want to learn about the cultural heritage of Curaçao through the island’s diverse flavors.
Nightlife and Entertainment
Much like Curaçao’s cuisine, the nightlife and entertainment scene offer a unique perspective. Not just that but getting out and about on this island is a chance to let loose and make new connections. Whether you want to sip cocktails near the ocean or dance the night away, here’s some of the best places to go:
Good to know: At Sandals Royal Curaçao, you can get a taste of the local entertainment and nightlife in Curaçao without leaving your resort. Entertainment options include live shows, themed parties, beach events, cultural performances, and more!
Pietermaai District
Located in Willemstad, the Pietermaai District is a popular hub for bars and restaurants. This is a trendy neighborhood where restored mansions now serve as bars, restaurants, and live music spots. Let the music lead the way as you explore this area starting with Mundo Bizarro and its eclectic decor and live jazz performances. For a night of craft cocktail indulgence, visit 27 Curaçao, a speakeasy-style bar tucked away behind a cigar shop.
Curaçao Carnival
Held annually in February or March, Curaçao Carnival is a major highlight on the island’s event calendar. If you visit the island during this time, you’re in for a treat. There’s usually more activities happening on the island around carnival time as the event falls during peak season. Carnival is the biggest cultural event in Curaçao and typically features parades, music, and colorful costumes.
The main highlight of carnival celebrations in Curaçao is the Grand Carnival Parade in Willemstad. During this event, it’s common to see floats and dancers in the streets. There are both adult and children’s parades at Curaçao Carnival, and the event features local genres including tumba with its rhythmic African roots.
Good to know: Even if you don’t plan on visiting during carnival, you can learn about this tradition at the Curaçao Carnival Museum in Otrobanda.
Off-the-Beaten-Path Experiences
While in Curaçao, make some time to visit off-the-beaten path beaches, coves and even venture to the countryside to see a different side of the island. With the latter, you’ll have a chance to visit small villages, farms, and other natural attractions. Plus, as you get away from the city, you’ll get to witness the diverse landscapes which range from arid cacti-filled plains to lush hills.
Kunuku Houses
In Curaçao, it doesn’t get more traditional than Kunuku houses which are essentially traditional Curaçaoan farmhouses. These houses are usually simple and colorful and are made with materials including coral stone and clay tiles. Back in the day, plantation workers and farmers were among the people who lived in kunuku houses. There’s still a handful of these houses around today which have been restored and are open to visitors. At some locations, you’ll be able to get into craft workshops and local cooking classes. With a visit to these historical gems, you can get a glimpse into Curaçao's agricultural past and the daily life of rural inhabitants.
Aloe Vera Plantation Tours
There are a limited number of islands where you can embark on organized aloe vera plantation tours and Curaçao is one of them. This island’s dry climate is ideal for growing aloe vera, and this crop has been cultivated here for as long as most people remember. During your vacation, you’ll have access to a number of aloe vera plantations that’ll give you a close up look at its cultivation. These tours are a good way to learn about the different uses of aloe vera and its importance in Curaçaoan culture and economy. If you want to see how aloe vera is harvested and processed, and even purchase locally made aloe products as souvenirs, you can visit places like the Curaçao Aloe Vera Plantation.
Good to know: As part of your aloe vera plantation tour, you can participate in hands-on workshops where you can learn how to extract the gel from aloe leaves and create your own natural skincare products. This makes it possible to gain a deeper appreciation for this versatile plant.
Unique Attractions
One of the things that sets Curaçao apart as a vacation destination is the unique activities that visitors can get into while there. This ranges from visiting ostrich farms to going flamingo spotting at Jan Kok Salt Flats. Ahead of your trip, let’s take a closer look at some of the activities you might want to try:
Flamingo Spotting at Jan Kok Salt Flats
There aren’t many islands where you can go flamingo spotting, but in Curaçao, you absolutely can. Head to the Jan Kok Salt Flats on the west coast of Curaçao for this adventure. Here, you’ll have a chance to see flamingos in their natural habitat. These vibrant, pink birds are a sight to witness, but it’s important to note that they aren’t naturally pink. Flamingos’ feathers are gray when they hatch. They become pink due to their diet which consists of algae, shrimp and other organisms that are rich in carotenoids.
At Jan Kok Salt Flats, you’ll be able to see these birds wading through the shallow waters of the salt pans. The best time to see them is in the early morning or late afternoon. For better views, walk with your binoculars. Conservation efforts are in place in this area to protect wildlife. In the Jan Kok area, you can also view the ruins of an old plantation house that can be an interesting photo backdrop.
Good to know: The Jan Kok Salt Flats are part of Curaçao’s historical salt production industry, which dates back to colonial times.
Landhuis Ascension
Visits to old plantation houses are possible in Curaçao. One of the most popular places for this is Landhuis Ascension in the Boca Sami area. This location was founded in 1672. Crops like maize, cotton, and beans were grown here. In the 19th century, cattle breeding became more popular, and eventually, activities began to slow down.
If you visit this hilltop restored plantation in Curaçao, you’ll be able to explore some of Curaçao’s colonial past. There’s a museum and a cultural center here, and tours are available. While at Landhuis Ascension, pause for a moment and take in the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and coastline.
Learnings Recap
And that’s Curaçao in a nutshell! As we wrap up our Curaçao itinerary guide, let’s review some of the key points ahead of your island getaway. Remember, flexibility is key. It’s always great to have a plan but leave room for spontaneous discoveries and unexpected finds! Here's what you need to keep in mind:

Some of our destination weddings
Sandals Grande, St. Lucia, Large Group, Destination Wedding
I wanted to share (with permission) these gorgeous pictures from a destination wedding 2 weekends ago we had the privilege of being a part of and booked by Lia. She chose this over the water wedding chapel in St. Lucia with friends and family there to help celebrate. I love her flower crown and her dress and how happy she is. Picture perfect. Congratulations Kate and Curtis! We are so happy for you!
Beaches Resort, Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Destination Wedding
Lia was very helpful for us in planning our destination wedding to Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We had gone through a few other travel planners first who didn't seem nearly as interested in our needs. We really appreciated the way Lia helped us navigate through some of the complexities, including the local laws of Jamaica and the planning with the resort itself. Even once we got to the resort and ran into a few snags, Lia was able to quickly get those resolved very quickly. We would highly recommend her for anyone planning a destination wedding or any other vacation. Thanks, Lia, for making our destination wedding the most special day of our lives.
Playa Del Carmen, Large Group, Destination Wedding
Wedding planning can be stressful and overwhelming, but if you're planning on having a destination wedding, especially with a large group, I would highly recommend using All Inclusive Weddings!
From beginning to end, they help with every step; i.e., finding the venue, creating a custom wedding website, and booking all your guests. Their office manager, Linze, was very responsive, helpful, and so sweet! Everything turned out smoothly and we couldn't be happier!
Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa, Destination Wedding
Stephanie was our incredible travel agent for our destination wedding! She helped with every aspect, quick communication and AMAZING coordination with over 50 different people over 8 states. Stephanie from the beginning, gave options and talked through so many questions I had. I could not have asked for a better right hand woman! 10 out of 10 for Steph, we could not appreciate & trust her more!
Incredible Agent For Our Destination Wedding! 10 Out Of 10 For Steph!
Such an amazing week of memories,laughter & love! Thankful for our people and truly blessed beyond words ♥ï¸â™¥ï¸
Royalton Blue Waters, Montego Bay, Jamaica, Destination Wedding
My husband and I worked with the company's owner, Lia Vincent, and office manager, Linze.
Lia & Linze were both very warm and friendly, and from day one, we could tell cared about us as a couple and our destination wedding success, rather than just seeing us as more clients. I get stressed out easily, so planning my own wedding alone was overwhelming, even though my wedding was 10 months out. I ended up working with Linze, and we pushed up the wedding date with a little less than three months to prepare. I was initially nervous about using a travel agent / wedding planner, but it turned out to be a huge blessing, because it took away a lot of the stress and worry I was experiencing. A bride has so many things to worry about, so having someone else bear the brunt of the work and worry about the nitty-gritty details was a HUGE relief for me.
Why spend hours analyzing vendors and reading reviews, when you can have a pro do it? If you want an intimate wedding, if you want to elope, or if you want a huge all-out, go-into-debt-for-years wedding, and if you're in the market for a wedding travel agent, Lia and Linze should be at the top of your list!
The day of the wedding, everything was so beautiful, and so much better than I could have done on my own. Lia's company finds the best local vendors, so you know you'll get great value in your package, and what's nice is her company offers different packages for different budgets. We worked with and met AMAZING vendors! The reception was so elegant that as soon as I entered the reception, I felt amazement, joy, and relief because being the worrywart and control freak that I sometimes can be, it was hard for me to trust someone to somehow make everything perfect. Lia was able to give us the dream wedding we couldn't have done ourselves. Our family and friends were also amazed, and repeatedly told us how great the wedding, reception, and food were at the resort.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Destination Wedding
I used Stephanie Tindall to help me choose the perfect resort in PV Mexico for where my guests would stay for my destination wedding. She went round and round with me helping me find the perfect location. It had to be nice, trendy, not to outrageously expensive and within a certain mile radius of a marina where my guests needed to go for the wedding. She helped everyone get booked and when things became a little hectic as tracking sometimes can get. She took care of the details. One of my guests had passport issues and she helped talk them through what to do. It was such a relief to have a point of contact for travel related issues so I didn't have to be stressed about it. She did this all with a patient, positive? upbeat and kind attitude through the entire process. I highly recommend her.
Thank you again,
Darby Brown
UNICO, Riviera Maya, Mexico Destination Wedding
Unico was wonderful and the perfect place for our wedding! It was quiet and the ceremony was better than expected. We had it on the gazebo and it was away from everything, which was great. The photography was beyond our expectations. We have not received our video yet, but assume it will be just as great. I also used the in house vendor for make up and hair, and was not disappointed. The wedding coordinator, Nazareth, was so sweet and on point. We used the local host quite a bit with WhatsApp, which was quite convenient. Food and drinks were amazing. We were disappointed that 2087 restaurant was down for half of our stay for repairs. We ate at Mi Carisa on our wedding night, which was the perfect choice. Service was also best there. We scheduled 2 tours through the hotel, a sunset cruise and Chichen Itza express. The boat tour was nice. Chichen itza tour was too fast and ok. We really appreciate your recommendations and help booking our wedding and stay. It was wonderful! Thank you again, Juliet and Jason
Hard Rock Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Destination Wedding
We just got back from an AMAZING wedding weekend yesterday. I can't begin to thank you enough for your help and support during the entire process. Everyone had a great time. It truly was one of the best days of my life and I can't believe how stress-free it was once I got there. Thank you Thank you!
Secrets Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding
I have never used a travel agent before Lia. I have always been the "I can do everything cheaper by myself on the internet" type person; most of the time, it works great. When my husband and I decided to have a destination wedding, we were not sure about anything - number of guests, length of stay, etc; we also have very demanding jobs, requiring constant travels up until the week before our wedding. So we thought that a travel agent may be a lifesaver; as it turned out, she was. Lia was endorsed as an expert in destination weddings on the American Express Travel website. Although she lived over a 1,000 miles away, I felt comfortable.
As I am not a "girly" person, wedding planning was not my thing; however, party planning and event coordination are. Lia and I treated this "event" like a business and I loved that about her; I needed someone to be truthful and provide honest advice. As it is with my job, I like corresponding via emails because I can have all the information on hand and in writing at all time; Lia always accommodated that, and always very promptly. I'm not talking about several emails over a few months; I'm talking about over the course of over a year. Lia was there to provide support when I had a hard time reach the wedding coordinator; she was there when I freaked out at the resort regarding my brother's return transportation (as it turned out, my brother spoke with the wrong transportation company); she was organized to be able to provide me with spreadsheet of all guest arrival information; she always submitted my requests to Classic Vacation and the resort promptly. James and I cannot thank Lia enough to make everything go smoothly for the biggest event of our lives. All 48 of us had such a great time that we absolutely see another group vacation in the future.
UNICO 2087, Riviera Maya, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Read the full details about this destination wedding in our blog post, Mark and Casey Simpsen's Destination Wedding at UNICO 2087. This couple was also featured in the UNICO 2087 Resort blog post, UNICO Destination Wedding, Casey Shelley & Mark Simpsen
Beach Palace Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Lia being referred to me saved me so much wedding planning mental anguish! I had tried with a few other travel agents before I had two different people give me Lia's name, and with each of the previous TAs they had to look into things and call me back (I'm still waiting for those calls). Getting in touch with Lia was a whole new experience, she answered all my initial questions in that first phone call, had so many recommendations, and it was obvious she knew exactly what she was doing. By the time we hung up the first phone call, I had decided on a destination and venue (per Lia's suggestion). She was a God send! A year later, we are still having people talk about what a great trip it was and people are always amazed by what a great turn out we had. We ended up with about 60 people, all booking through Lia and everyone had a flawless experience. One even asked for her name when planning her destination wedding a few months later and was just as pleased! Lia told me a lot through the planning process that I was such a laid-back bride, but it really was because she left me nothing to worry about. She answered any question I had, was always quick to respond to calls and emails, and helped me plan the most perfect wedding ever. I wish I could re-live it all again!!
Cozumel Palace, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.
Throughout the process we felt completely at ease as she handled some of the most important details of planning for this special time. From her first recommendations of resorts and destinations to her help arranging travel for our closest family and friends we always felt grateful having Lia on our side. We highly recommend Lia Vincent and Palace Resorts for your destination wedding!
Le Blanc Spa Resort, Destination Wedding
I am truly so grateful for you and all of your help! Le Blanc was amazing! NOTHING could have been better, except maybe the weather, but the staff, food, and service were above and beyond! We will definitely go back there!! Love, Love, Love you for all of your help - Can NOT thank you enough!!
Beach Palace, Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Our Dream Wedding!
Lia was a phenomenal help from the beginning. She was referred to me by a friend, and I was incredibly thankful that we used her. When we started planning, we became overwhelmed with all of the information that is available.
We met with her for about 45 minutes one afternoon, took her pictures of spaces we had seen online and liked, and gave her a list of our "must-haves", a list of things that would be nice but didn't matter too much, and a list of things we absolutely did NOT want. She kind of thought about things for a minute, and then listed 3 resorts that fit every single one of our needs. She then ran sample pricing from EVERY location our guests would be traveling from so we could figure out what best fit our and our guests' travel budgets. After about a million more questions from me, we finally settled on her initial recommendation, the Beach Palace in Cancun. As we went through the process, any time I had a question, problem, or was just worried about something not being right, she was my go-to person. I'm not kidding, she would answer me in like, less than an hour 99% of the time. She even took my file home one weekend to give me more time to figure something out before she ran credit cards and got it booked. She was a Godsend!
Riu Palace, Riviera Maya, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.
Lia with Lia helped us plan our destination wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico. We had a total of 11 people and she helped each of them set up their arrangements. From the beginning she was so helpful and always quick to respond. She made the entire process a breeze. She communicated with the wedding coordinator at the Riu Palace and made sure everything was just like we wanted. We did not have any issues at all, thanks to Lia and all of her thorough planning. Each of our guests bragged on her and said how easy it was to work with her. I would recommend Lia for all of your planning needs whether it be just a short vacation or a destination wedding. She knows what she is doing and will make sure all of your questions are answered and that you have the best vacation.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband and I got married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico right off the beach. It was pure bliss, and everything I could have ever dreamed of! I may be biased, but destination weddings are certainly the way to go and thanks to our wonderful Travel Agent Lia Vincent at Vincent Vacations, we were able to find the perfect place! I had the opportunity to be able to edit the straight out of camera photos from my wedding! Here is a glimpse of our wedding day in paradise!
Iberostar, Grand Punta Cana, Destination Wedding
We had the most amazing time at our wedding. Our guests are still talking about what an amazing trip it was! Thank you for your help with organizing this unforgettable time for us, we cannot wait to put our pictures in our new frame!
Dreams, Puerto Aventuras Resort, Destination Wedding
Lia, thank you very much for all of your help with our PERFECT wedding vacation!
Excellence, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Destination Wedding
"It was beautiful! Everybody had a fantastic time!"
The staff was wonderful, the rooms were gorgeous, and the food was AMAZING! Our wedding could not have been more perfect and if you have any brides that want a beautiful wedding on a budget, The Excellence Punta Cana would be my number one recommendation. Emy and Livia were fantastic and everything was just PERFECT! Chris couldn't even believe how wonderful it was.
Thank you again for all of your help!!!
Dreams, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Our Dream Wedding!
As soon as Jimmy asked me to marry him, I knew we would want a destination wedding. We love to travel, and we love the beach, so there was no more perfect place to start our lives together than a beach in Mexico!
I am not the wedding planning type, and I knew that with a destination wedding, we could get someone else to plan the details for us. Luckily for me, my friend Lia at Vincent Vacations specializes in Destination Weddings. Lia had taken care of trips for us in the past, and I knew she was the perfect person to help me plan this trip. I was right! She helped me look through destinations, and we found the perfect spot: Dreams in Puerto Vallarta! The package came with a wedding planner, who took care of the details for me. 21 of our friends and family came with us, and everyone loved the resort. Our party ranged in age from 7 to 82, and everyone agreed it was an amazing trip. There were activities for the kids, and plenty of excursions for everyone to choose from. The staff was wonderful, and pampered us from the time we arrived. One of my bridesmaids had a broken foot and was on crutches, and was in a wheelchair some. The hotel staff assisted her anytime she needed it, including carrying her and her wheelchair up and down large flights of stairs. They were amazing! All the rooms are ocean front, with beautiful views. Jimmy and I stayed in the "Preferred" tower, and our room came with a great balcony with a hot tub! Most of our guests stayed in the other tower, but the resort is small enough, this was not a problem at all. They all loved their rooms as well. The wedding planner met with me in advance to work out the last minute details and timing. When our wedding day came, everything went perfectly. We got married on the beach right in front of the ocean. We had a sound system and a dj who played all the songs that we picked out in advance. My Dad is a minister, and he performed the service for us. We had 21 in our wedding party, but it felt like a much bigger wedding because lots of people watched the wedding. You could see people everywhere on their balconies watching, which made us feel like rock stars. We had a Mexican band that played a few songs after the wedding. The wedding came with a photographer and videographer who did amazing job! We took pictures right after the wedding, then we had dinner which also came with the wedding. We had steak and chicken which tasted great. Of course, I also asked them for chips and guacamole. (I love the guacamole in Mexico.) They were happy to oblige. They provided the wedding cake after which was amazing. After the wedding, my husband and I stayed for another 4 days, and it was paradise. I could not have asked for a more beautiful place to get married, or a less stressful way to do it. Thanks Lia and Vincent Vacations for making our special day an amazingly unforgettable experience!
Jamaica, Destination Wedding
Love the pictures one of our brides just shared from her elopement in Jamaica! Thank you for sharing with us! Did you know we book Destination weddings of all sizes? If it's just the 2 of you or a group of 250, give us a call!
Grand Fiesta Americana, Los Cabos, Mexico, Destination Wedding
This was the best and easiest decision we made about our entire wedding! Lia at All Inclusive Weddings is the absolute best, extremely intelligent, hard working, and so caring. She truly makes you feel like you are her only client throughout the entire process. We had about 120 people coming to our Cabo wedding and even had to switch resorts, visitors coming from all different states and even Europe. She was calm, and kept the bride and groom calm! Every detail was taken care of and it was made to be the most perfect wedding!
Finest, Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding
I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work to arrange the hotel and transfers for Ashley and Robbie's wedding. It was perfect and everything that she had ever dreamed of! The resort was amazing! We had great food at all the restaurants. The staff went over the top to accommodate any needs that you could have had! Everyone felt safe and the beaches are beautiful. Since it's more private you don't get the crazy vendors walking the beach trying to sell you stuff. Our family loved it so much and we defiantly will be planning another vacation. You will be the first I call if we need help to organize something! Thank you again for everything
We have been in business since 2013, and booking destination weddings since 2002!
