23 Best Beaches in Jamaica - Tropical Paradise
Category: Our ResortsApril 25th 2024Back to our Sandals Blog > > >
Wondering which part of Jamaica has the best beaches? This Caribbean island is known for its friendly people, warm climate, and in particular, its amazing beaches. It can be difficult to know which spots to check out while on the island, and especially which beaches are worth exploring, but ahead of your trip, we’ve put together a full listing of the 23 best beaches in Jamaica that will grant you that tropical beach experience you’ve always dreamed about.
Expert tip: First time visiting Jamaica? Negril is probably one of the best places to start, featuring the most beautiful beaches. Read more:
‘Jamaica: What Area To Stay In?’ .
23. Pellew Island Beach
Looking for Sandals Resorts travel agents? We offer the best prices and packages, including airfare to and from destination, airport transfers, excursions and activities, travel insurance and so much more.
Port Antonio area
Pellew Island is just off the coast of Port Antonio, and it is sometimes called ‘Monkey Island’ or ‘Princess Island’. The Monkey Island moniker is due to the fact that there were once a few imported monkeys on that island, but today the beach is more popular for sightings of tropical fishes than anything else, known to provide some of the best snorkeling in Jamaica. You can kayak to Pellew Island from the nearby San San beach, or you can get there by boat. It’s the ideal place to go if you want to experience that castaway feeling, without being too far away!
Tip: Lookout for sea urchins on the seafloor; water shoes may come in handy. For other things to pack you might not have thought of, read ‘What to pack for a vacation in Jamaica? The ultimate list.’
22. Low Cay Beach
Ocho Rios area
Low Cay Beach in Oracabessa Bay is famed for being home to the vacation dwelling of Ian Fleming, the creator of the James Bond series. The property has since been taken over by Chris Blackwell, a Jamaican music executive, but its surroundings are no less spectacular today than they were then, now maybe even more so. It has been transformed into an upscale resort, but the appeal of this area has more to do with the spectacular 500-foot cove, which is perfect for a day of fun in the sun. Whether you want to swim or paddle board in the lagoon, you can feel free to have an uninhibited beach day on these shores.
21. Mammee Bay Beach
Ocho Rios area
Halfway private, and the other half public, Mammee Bay is one of the top choices for beach seekers in the Ocho Rios area and is just 15 minutes from Ocho Rios. This is a beach where you’ll want to do more than beach lounging and tanning; the water is so calm and warm that it’s hard not to want to dive right in. And why not? How often do you travel to a Caribbean island and get to feel the refreshing and cool water against your skin, after frolicking in the sun all afternoon? The views from Mammee Bay Beach are amazing, especially around sunset. At night join one of the groups having a bonfire and dance the night away. Mammee Bay Beach is definitely for the more adventurous, and even lovers of windsurfing and wakeboarding have some good days on these shores.
Insider tip: While at Mammee Bay stop by the Bamboo Blu Restaurant for great local cuisine.
20. Aqua Sol Beach
Montego Bay area
Considered a more “local” beach than Doctor’s Cave Beach, Aqua Sol Beach is definitely a strand most people enjoy. Spend a day away from your resort and explore Aqua Sol, which offers plenty to do for every member of the family. There are a few food spots on this beach, though some people choose to bring along their coolers and food for the day. Try the nearby Aqua Sol Theme Park which is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., your kids will surely enjoy the experience, which includes go-kart racing, watersports, and more. Aqua Sol Beach is near downtown, so you can always walk down the street to explore some of the shops when you’re through lounging beachside.
19. Fort Clarence Beach
Kingston area
Although you generally wouldn’t go to Kingston for a beach vacation, Fort Clarence Beach in Kingston is a great choice for families and tourists and includes lifeguards, a parking area, and beachside dining options, not forgetting blissfully white sands and blue seas. It’s less crowded than some of the other beaches in Kingston, Jamaica and is a great spot for picnics. You can rent out beach chairs for the day, or play volleyball, or maybe just spend some time building sandcastles with the kids. Once you find the right spot, you’re in for a pretty amazing beach day.
18. Puerto Seco Beach
Discovery Bay area
Just about 30 minutes west of Ocho Rios, you’ll find this full of character strand which includes a park with a waterslide that kids will love. There are shower and changing facilities and a sprinkling of vendors where you can pick up something to eat or drink closer to Fisherman’s Beach, which is a short walk down the beach. On weekends you’ll find more locals here, and on some weekdays, you’ll pretty much have the beach to yourself. The water here is calm and shallow for a long way out, which is perfect for a beach day with kids. You won’t find beach chairs or umbrella rentals though, so if you need these, you’ll have to bring your own.
17. Hellshire Beach
Kingston area
Great music, vibes, and food bring a beach experience at Hellshire together. Start your day off by finding the perfect spot, then scoping the best place to try delicious seafood, and in particular, sampling the pepper shrimp sold by Stephanie or ‘Sexy Shrimpie’, as she is known by locals and tourists alike. You may find beach vendors selling things like peanut cake, or fresh lobster, the price of which is usually negotiable. On some days you may even be able to do a reflexology session or get a massage from the Rastafarian masseuse with magic fingers who sometimes frequents the beach. In terms of its physical attributes, the beach has black sand in some places, and you can see the Blue Mountains in the distance. The water is crystal clear, and the beach is usually quite active, sometimes playing host to festivals and concerts. Hellshire beach is about a 30-minute drive from Kingston.
Insider tip: Definitely don’t leave Hellshire Beach until you get your fill of fried fish, which it is famous for. Have your meal with a side of “festival” or “bammy”.
16. Cornwall Beach
Montego Bay area
Cornwall Beach in Montego Bay is not necessarily the largest beach, but it is nice and secluded, and great if you just want to go for a swim. If you want to get a beach lounger for the day, you’ll have to get there early in the morning as they run out quickly on days when there are more people on the beach. Cornwall Beach is a short walk from the Hip Strip, and you’ll have to pay $5 for access. It is located right next to Doctor’s Cave Beach. On Cornwall Sundays there’s usually a sunset party, and beachgoers above the legal drinking age limit can participate in a “bottomless” Appleton Rum Mug �' which is basically an all-you-can-drink experience.
15. Burwood Beach
Falmouth area
Burwood Beach in Trelawny has generally good reviews, and is loved for being beautifully maintained and overall naturally appealing. Like many of the best beaches in Jamaica, there’s a small entrance fee to access, which goes towards the maintenance of the beach. The beach is on the northwest coast of Jamaica. The vibe here is relaxed, and Burwood is generally known as a family-friendly beach. There are gazebos, a recreation area for children, beach shacks and restaurants, and lots of cool activities to keep you occupied. After spending a few hours on these shores, you can go explore the town which isn’t too far away.
14. James Bond Beach
Ocho Rios area
The popular James Bond movie, Dr. No was filmed in this coastal area, hence the name of the beach. As you can imagine, the beach itself is spectacular, and a visit here will prove just why producers deemed it to be worthy of being one of the standout settings for this popular flick. Just east of Ocho Rios, the beach itself is a bit small, but you’ll be able to enjoy all the regular beach day activities. There’s a small beach bar with a super friendly bartender, and the music from the bar usually drifts onto the beach, adding to the ambiance. There’s a USD5 entry fee, and you can find paddle boards, kayaks, and other gear on rental for an additional cost. You can also go jet-skiing, windsurfing, go on a glass bottom tour, or just enjoy the ocean breeze.
Insider tip: James Bond Beach is located on a 7-minute drive from
family friendly all-inclusive resort Beaches Ocho Rios . Sandals largest all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean, Sandals Ochi, is located on a 20-minute drive from James Bond Beach.‘Ochi’ features 16 restaurants on-property and over 100 swimming pools!
13. Lime Cay
Kingston area
A 15-minute boat ride from Port Royale is all it takes to get to Lime Cay, a small island off the coast of Kingston. Lime Cay is actually known to disappear below sea level at high tide, so there really is nothing there but sea and sand. Locals love this spot on weekends, and there’s no entrance fee to access the beach. To get there, you can pay a small fee to a local fisherman who will take you over for the day. Be sure to do your research about it, and don’t go with expectations of a luxury boat charter, which isn’t often the case. When you finally get there, it will be well worth the wild ride as you’ll be able to experience some of the best snorkeling in Jamaica, just as long as you bring along your own snorkeling gear. The best part about this beach is that most days it is pretty secluded, so you’ll have the space to yourself. Ask your hotel, resort of cruise desk to point you in the right direction when planning a trip to Lime Cay.
12. Boston Beach
Port Antonio area
You’ll feel “irie” on Boston Beach, which is about as laid back as they come. Jam to some Reggae music as the waves gently brush against the shoreline, eat jerk chicken to your heart’s content, or even try some surf lessons. Something about this beach will make you feel as though you’re in the right place, and that all the right elements have come together to create this chill Caribbean gem that a lucky few get to experience while in Jamaica. Both locals and foreigners enjoy going to Boston Bay beach, and the entertainment and food at the beach bar are especially popular.
11. Ocho Rios Bay/Turtle Beach
Ocho Rios area
Turtle Beach is near the cruise port and fairly easy to find. An entry fee of around USD6 gets you in for the day, and you’ll have access to nearby restaurants and a peaceful environment to spend the day. There are a few vendors on the beach, but not so many that you’ll be overwhelmed. There’s also security present on the beach, and chair and gear rentals available. Some people like embarking on the glass bottom boat tour that’s available from this area, but there are many other activities to choose from and a bar where you can grab something ice cold to cool off. The beach is not usually very crowded, and there are changing rooms and washrooms.
10. Doctor’s Cave Beach
Montego Bay area
Doctor’s Cave Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Montego Bay, and you won’t hear about this beach without learning some of its back story. It goes something like this: There was once a physician who was convinced there were healing properties to the waters of
9. Pleasure Cove Beach
Ocho Rios area
If you’re looking for a relatively secluded beach near Ocho Rios, then Pleasure Cove is a good pick. Many people who go there love it so much that they don’t even want to share the details about this hidden gem, but here we are spilling the beans anyway. The beach is public, so you can enjoy its soft sand, sparkling water, and great ambiance for free if you’re in this area. There’s also often jerk chicken and other food and drinks on sale, or you can walk with your own goodies for a full day at the beach.

8. Dunn’s River Falls Beach
Ocho Rios area
7. Winnifred Beach
Port Antonio area
All you need to know about Winnifred Beach in Port Antonio is that it is an excellent choice, and it is ‘free, lovely, and clean’. It is more crowded on the weekends, Sunday especially, since the beach is a favorite for both locals and tourists. Some people however like the crowds for opportunities to people watch and get a real sense of the island. There are many things you can get up to on this beach, including snorkeling (bring along your gear) since there are coral reefs which are relatively easy to access. You can also go horseback riding down the beach and experience a range of other land and sea excursions. If you don’t want to spend on a beach umbrella, go early to secure your spot under one of the lush trees in the area!
6. Bamboo Beaches/Reggae Beach
Ocho Rios area
There are so many choices when it comes to selecting a good beach in Jamaica that you may very well have to try all of them during your visit! If you’re unable to do this, however, be sure to at least check out Bamboo Beaches, just east of Ochi in St Mary. You’ll pay an $11 USD entry fee which includes a beach chair. Bring along your snorkeling gear as this is a great place to dive. There are three beach bars, one of which jams Reggae tunes all day long, and you may even bump into some local musicians. If you’re into music yourself, have a jam session out on the sand and be inspired by the beauty of this strand, which is also known as Reggae Beach!
Insider tip: Fridays are best for a lively experience at Reggae Beach when the popular after-work lime is held featuring live DJ’s and a bonfire until 1 AM.
5. Frenchman’s Cove
Port Antonio area
Described by some as one of the most beautiful places on Earth, Frenchman’s Cove is a celebrity in its own right. The beach has made several big screen appearances, including in the 1986 Robin Williams movie Club Paradise, and it was once especially popular with Hollywood A-listers. On this beach you’ll find a stream that meanders right into the ocean, and this is one of the unique elements that add to its exotic feel. There’s not as much excitement here as compared to some of the other beaches located closer to city areas, which makes it even more of a great choice. Frenchman’s Cove is postcard worthy, and you won’t regret your time spent there.
4. Treasure Beach
South Coast area
Treasure Beach, Jamaica is an amazing ‘off the beaten track’ beach in Jamaica, located on the South Coast of Jamaica with six miles of coral colored beaches. A trip here allows you to get away from the norm, and to explore Jamaica in its most authentic form. There are private coves along the beach, and you’ll find just a few resorts of the more laid-back variety, restaurants, and even nightclubs in the area. Try Floyd’s Pelican Bar, which is quite literally a floating bar where you can also get a taste of freshly caught grilled fish, and other treats. There’s lots to explore in the Treasure Beach area, including the YS Waterfalls!

3. Bloody Bay
Negril area
Bloody Bay in Negril may have a not-so-awesome whaling history (giving t its name), but that is a thing of the past. Today, it is a popular beach to spend the day on while in Negril. It is conveniently located near a resort area, so you can expect to see lots of tourists. You can rent kayaks and other gear for water excursions on this beach, or just enjoy the shallow waters which are great for kids. It’s helpful to note that lots of sunset cruises leave from Bloody Bay, as do snorkeling trips. Plan around that to spend some time on the beach and head off straight away on an island tour above or below the ocean.
2. Sandals Montego Bay Beach
Montego Bay area
Picture: White sand and turquoise waters at
Sandals Montego Bay Beach is a tropical paradise come to life, with powdery white sand, clear turquoise ocean, and lots of room to explore. This private Jamaican beach is immaculately maintained, and that may be due in large part to the fact that one of Beaches’ sister resorts,

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

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.

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!

"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!

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
