Let your search for a warm-weather escape lead you to Jamaica, where every day is a good vibes day. With a January vacation to this “irie” isle, the only thing you’ll need to think about is how close you are to the beach—and how much adventure, relaxation, and culture you can fit into your trip.

nd yourself signing up for some of the most exciting excursions around. Glide down the Martha Brae River on a bamboo raft, climb the world-famous Dunn’s River Falls, or take in the stunning views from the Blue Mountains. Love the outdoors? Stroll along Seven Mile Beach, book a safari excursion, or explore hidden waterfalls. And don’t leave without picking up authentic Caribbean souvenirs—whether it’s handcrafted treasures or Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, you’ll have something special to take home as a reminder of your tropical getaway.


Barbados: January marks the dry season—ideal for sunbathing and watersports.

sandals-royal-barbados-pool--1-
Picture: Leave your worries behind and tune into relaxation at the all-inclusive Sandals Royal Barbados.


A small island with a big personality, Barbados shines among the Eastern Caribbean gems. This destination is known and loved for its captivating beaches, rich history, and island charm. While in Barbados, be sure to visit Harrison’s Cave, stroll through the UNESCO-listed capital city of Bridgetown, or marvel at Bathsheba Beach’s dramatic rock formations and powerful surf. If you can’t get enough of the ocean, Carlisle Bay near Bridgetown is a must-see, especially if you want to go snorkeling and diving.

For those looking to party, plan your visit during Crop Over in August or one of the island’s many festivals, from jazz to sailing events. And when it comes to accommodations, Barbados offers incredible all-inclusive resorts that make your vacation as relaxing as it is unforgettable.


Hawaii: Endless beaches, whale-watching, and balmy weather.

It goes without saying—Hawaii is one of the most sought-after vacation spots in the world. This is thanks to its stunning natural beauty, rich culture, and laid-back island charm. A huge part of the appeal of a Hawaiian getaway is the endless outdoor adventures. Whether you’re surfing on O’ahu’s North Shore, snorkeling with sea turtles in Maui, hiking through Kaua’i’s Waimea Canyon, or watching lava flow on the Big Island, there’s so much to experience.

Plus, with the aloha way of life, it won’t take long to fall in love with the warmth, kindness, and deep respect for nature and community that defines Hawaiian culture.


Costa Rica: Tropical rainforests and golden beaches with warm temps.

Costa Rica is a tropical destination in Central America with both Caribbean and Pacific coastlines. Unlike the white sands of the Caribbean, most Costa Rican beaches boast golden, black, or even pink-hued sand, offering a unique coastal experience. The country’s only white sand beach can be found in Manuel Antonio Park, but other breathtaking spots include Islas Tortuga, Santa Teresa, Playa Flamingo, Playa Negra, Cocles, Jaco Beach, and Manzanillo.

If you’re not there for the beaches, Costa Rica has no shortage of adventure. Try whitewater rafting, zip-lining through the rainforest, canyoning, surfing, or even golfing. Take a riverboat ride through lush jungles, explore the Land of Sense rainforest, or visit the striking Arenal Volcano. Wildlife lovers can go on a guided tour to spot monkeys, sloths, toucans, parrots, macaws, caimans, and more in their natural habitat.



Winter Wonderland Adventures in January

Switzerland: Skiing in the Alps and cozy chalet vibes.

From Zermatt to St. Moritz, Switzerland is a dream for ski lovers. January brings picture-perfect snowy landscapes, and taking a scenic train ride—like the Glacier Express or Bernina Express—makes the experience even more magical. While you're here, explore frozen lakes and wander through charming towns like Lucerne and Lauterbrunnen. And of course, no trip is complete without indulging in rich Swiss hot chocolate and classic fondue!


Canada: Whistler’s snowy peaks and winter festivals.

Northern lights Canada

Let the Northern Lights in Yukon be your inspiration for a January getaway to Canada. The skies are prime for aurora viewing, making for a breathtaking experience. Add in frozen waterfalls and ice walks at places like Johnston Canyon or Niagara Falls, and you've got the perfect winter escape. Skiing and snowboarding? Banff and Whistler offer some of the best slopes around. If you're after a winter festival, check out SnowDays in Banff or the Quebec Winter Carnival for some seasonal fun!


Iceland: Chasing the Northern Lights and soaking in hot springs.

Music, storytelling, and soul—that’s Iceland in January. With fewer crowds, the country feels even more magical. Wander misty landscapes, visit the famous Cliffs of Moher, and take in the rolling green hills dusted with frost. Cozy up in a traditional pub by a roaring fire, stay in a storybook-like castle retreat, and dive into Iceland’s rich culture through festivals and live music sessions.


Norway: Dog sledding, fjord exploration, and breathtaking winter hikes.

Norway offers some of the most mesmerizing Northern Lights views in Europe. During your January visit, set out on a snow-covered fjord cruise, where surreal icy landscapes unfold around you. Try dog sledding or snowmobiling near the Lofoten Islands for an unforgettable Arctic adventure. For those who love the outdoors, winter hiking trails lead to panoramic views of frozen waterfalls, dramatic cliffs, and snow-dusted valleys. And when it’s time to unwind, cozy up in a Scandinavian cabin—with a sauna nearby, candlelit dinners, and the simple joys of Nordic winter life.

Romantic January Getaways

Picture: Beach views at the all-inclusive Sandals Grande Saint Lucian.


A standout destination winning world honeymoon awards year after year, Saint Lucia is known as the ‘Helen of the West.’ As the island’s national anthem proclaims—and as you’ll see for yourself—it’s the “fairest isle of all the Earth.” Here, your vacation is refreshingly effortless, striking the perfect balance between relaxation and adventure.


sunset-sandals-grande-st-lucian


For starters, lush greenery surrounds you, creating a secluded, middle-of-nowhere feel—yet luxury is always within reach, especially at an all-inclusive resort in Saint Lucia. Whether you pack your itinerary with must-do activities or let the island set the pace, paradise is yours to enjoy.

While in Saint Lucia, make some time to visit at least one beach and waterfall. In the north, Pigeon Island Beach and Reduit Beach are top picks, while in the south, Sandy Beach in Vieux Fort offers breathtaking views just steps from Hewanorra International Airport. Love the water? Saint Lucia has fantastic snorkeling and scuba diving, so be sure to explore some of the best underwater spots before your getaway comes to a close.


Good to know: Some of the best snorkeling spots in Saint Lucia include Smugglers Cove Beach in Cap Estate, Marigot Bay Beach, and Anse Chastanet Beach in Soufrière. If you’re looking to dive, staying at an all-inclusive resort in Saint Lucia makes it easy to set up an unforgettable underwater adventure.


Antigua – 365 beaches and gorgeous views.

sandals-grande-antigua-dickenson-bay--1-
Picture: Set off on your Antigua explorations from the beachfront Sandals Grande Antigua.


With 365 beaches to choose from, Antigua is a dream destination for beach lovers. Some of the island’s top beaches include Dickenson Bay, Half Moon Bay, Pigeon Point Beach, Darkwood Beach, and Valley Church Beach. Other local favorites include Jabberwock Beach, a hotspot for kite surfing; Runaway Bay, a quieter alternative to Dickenson Bay; Ffryes Beach, known for its scenic beauty; and Galleon Beach, a great spot for snorkeling near the rocks.

If you're looking for an all-inclusive, adults-only vacation, Dickenson Bay is the place to be, with some of the Antigua's best resorts right on the shore.


main-pool-sandals-grande-antigua--4-


Away from the beachfront, Antigua offers stunning panoramic views from Shirley Heights, a chance to step back in time at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and a taste of the island at the Antigua Distillery. For a little extra adventure, hop over to Barbuda, Antigua’s sister island, for even more Caribbean magic.

When it comes to accommodation, Antigua’s all-inclusive resorts make for a seamless, stress-free vacation—because who doesn’t love a trip with zero worries?


Insider tip: Sandals Grande Antigua has been voted the “World’s Most Romantic Resort” year after year making it just the place for a romantic island escape!


Paris: Cozy cafes, fewer tourists, and romantic winter strolls.

There are plenty of reasons to visit Paris in January, and one of the best is simply experiencing the city without the usual crowds. This means shorter lines at must-see attractions like the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, and Versailles, allowing you to soak up every moment at your own pace.

During winter, the magic of Paris comes alive in its charming cafés, twinkling lights, and crisp, refreshing air. Take a leisurely walk along the Seine, admire the Eiffel Tower glowing against the night sky, and indulge in French pastries and mulled wine in a cozy bistro. It’s the perfect time for a relaxed, romantic getaway in the City of Love.


Santorini: Quiet charm and stunning views with fewer crowds.

Santorini in January is a dream—peaceful, uncrowded, and scenic. Unlike peak season, you can explore iconic spots like Oia and Fira without navigating through a sea of selfie sticks.

Winter also comes with perks! You may find deals on stunning hotels and villas with caldera views, making it the ideal time for a luxury escape. Spend your days wandering the volcanic cliffs, black sand beaches, and charming villages, all while soaking up the relaxed pace of Greek island life.

With nine unique restaurants and seven lively bars—including a swim-up bar—you'll always find a spot to sip, savor, and sway to the island rhythm.

Seven Mile Beach is one of the longest in the Caribbean, but it never feels crowded.

Even right at Sandals Negril, there's no shortage of ways to play, with all kinds of land and water sports included.


Good to know: Guests at Sandals Resorts can enjoy scuba diving (always included, and up to two tanks a day) if they're PADI® certified. Not certified yet? No worries—you can get PADI® certified during your stay and dive right in!

Junkanoo is one of the most thrilling events in The Bahamas, with most of the major celebrations happening on New Providence Island (Nassau). As one of the biggest cultural celebrations in The Bahamas, it draws locals and visitors alike, especially for the high-energy Junkanoo parade—the main event. Expect vibrant costumes, unique musical instruments like goat-skin drums and cowbells, brass bands, and a lively, electric atmosphere. For Junkanoo, you can either jump in with a costumed band or enjoy the excitement from the sidelines.


Carriacou Parang Festival (Spillover from December) – Grenada

Where better than Carriacou, Grenada, for some island-inspired festivities to kick off the new year? From late December into early January, visitors can join the traditional Parang Festival, featuring local music, storytelling, and cultural celebrations on this charming, close-knit island. Many residents from mainland Grenada come over to share in the fun, making it a great way to dive deeper into Caribbean culture while having a blast.


Barbados Sailing Week

If you’re a fan of the ocean, Barbados Sailing Week is a must-see. Usually happening mid to late January (dates vary each year), the main events center around Carlisle Bay, Bridgetown, with races along the island’s south and west coasts. As a key event on the Caribbean regatta calendar, you'll find coastal races, local festivities, live music, and more. If you visit Barbados in early January, you can also catch the New Year’s Day Horse Races at Garrison Savannah—a thrilling way to start the year!


Old Year’s Night & New Year’s Celebrations

Welcoming the new year is a big deal in the Caribbean, with a tropical twist. If you choose to ring in the New Year on the islands, expect fireworks lighting up the sky at midnight, lively beach parties, live bands, and street celebrations in places like Jamaica, The Bahamas, Barbados, and beyond. It’s the perfect mix of island vibes and festive cheer.



Travel Tips for January Vacations

3B4A9256-Edit


Plan early

Vacations flow better when they’re planned right from the start. That’s why it makes sense to start planning as early as possible—including booking your flight, accommodation, and even some excursions well in advance. As a general guide, aim to book your vacation at least six months ahead. Not only will this give you the best chance to snag post-holiday travel deals, but it also means you can relax and enjoy the countdown to your January escape!


Pack light

The last thing anyone wants is to stress about overweight baggage at check-in. Avoid this by making a vacation packing checklist and sticking to just the essentials—everything you need, nothing you don’t. Depending on your destination, you may need to pack for varied climates, from beachwear to thermal layers. A little planning goes a long way in keeping things hassle-free!


Get there with ease

Smooth sailing starts before you even take off. Stay ahead of potential weather delays by checking forecasts early, packing your patience, and keeping your travel documents handy. A little pre-planning makes all the difference for a stress-free arrival to your destination of choice.



Start the Year with an Adventure

January couples vacation


No matter where the wind carries you—whether it’s toward snow-covered peaks or sun-kissed shores—January is one of those months that feels like an invitation. An invitation to reset, to explore, to begin again. It’s the perfect time to travel because the world is still quiet in places, the crowds are fewer, and the experiences feel more personal.


girls vacation Caribbean


Maybe it’s the rhythm of the waves in Saint Lucia, the reggae spirit of Jamaica, the charm of Barbados, or the raw natural beauty of Saint Vincent—but the Caribbean in January offers something you don’t want to miss: sunny skies without the swelter, a slower pace, and just enough warmth to unwind your soul.

And when you’re heading somewhere that already promises serenity, there’s no better way to enjoy it all than with an all-inclusive vacation. With all you need for your vacation included, from accommodation and dining, to entertainment, land and watersports and more, it’s travel without the guesswork. So, all you have to do is show up. The rest? You just let it flow right along with the laidback pace of the islands!

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!

Michael and Shawana Rowles - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
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!

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!

Leah and Kell Flynn - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
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 wedding travel agent
Darby Brown - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
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

Juliet D. - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
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 destination wedding review
Vivian and James Chevrier - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
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.

Jenni Johnson - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
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!!

Sara Thompson - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
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!

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!!

Saundra Ogden - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
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!

Casey Morris - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
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.

Mindy Huffman - All Inclusive Beach 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!!!

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!

Marty Hill - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
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!

Tiffany Phillips - All Inclusive Beach 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
