As your vacation approaches, we've compiled a list of some of the most popular water sports available in the Caribbean to help you decide!

Expert tip: Want to try something that’s a little less daring than parasailing, but as fascinating as scuba diving in the Caribbean? Look in the direction of Turks and Caicos resorts and Jamaica resorts which offer a range of exciting water sports!


The 14 most adventurous Caribbean watersports

You can enjoy water sports on your own or as part of a guided tour in the Caribbean. Here are some of the more popular water sports for visitors to the islands:


1. Scuba diving

To say the Caribbean is an amazing location for scuba diving would be a bit of an understatement. With diverse marine life and captivating underwater scenery, this is one of the best destinations for scuba diving in the world. One of the best things about scuba diving in the Caribbean is that there’s a range of locations that cater to divers of all skill levels. Even if you’ve never gone scuba diving before, you can get PADI certified during your Caribbean vacation at Beaches Resorts.

Kids aged 12 and older can earn a PADI scuba diving certification. There are also programs that make it possible for kids as young as 10 to get an introduction to this activity. Once you’re PADI certified, you can scuba dive for free at Beaches Resorts (up to two tanks per day). The team at Beaches Resorts has done over 100,000 successful PADI certifications at the resort, so this will be an easy and straightforward process!

Five best Caribbean islands for scuba diving:

  • Scuba diving in Turks & Caicos - You can check out the Amphitheater, Aquarium, or Molasses Reef and more while diving in Turks & Caicos.
  • Scuba diving in The Bahamas - Popular diving spots in The Bahamas include Mahoney Wreck near Paradise Island, the Hollywood Bowl near Gaulden Cay, the Blue Hole near Nassau, and the Bahama Mama near Nassau.
  • Scuba diving in Curaçao - Novice to advanced divers will have multiple dive sites to choose from in Curaçao, including Watamula, Alice in Wonderland, Mushroom Forest, the Superior Producer, and the Tugboat.
  • Scuba diving in Grenada - Famed for the world’s first underwater sculpture park, Grenada has a lot more to offer you on your scuba diving adventure.
    Scuba diving in Roatán - The list of great places to go scuba diving in Roatán include El Aguila, Hole in the Wall, and Coco View Wall.

Expert tip: Ahead of trying any water sport in the Caribbean, be sure to verify age restrictions. It can also be useful to check safety recommendations ahead of time.


2. Snorkeling

Snorkeling is an excellent way to see the underwater world. You won't need much experience to try snorkeling during your Caribbean holiday - just some enthusiasm and the appropriate snorkeling equipment. You can see a variety of marine species while snorkeling in the Caribbean without having to venture out into deep water. The warmth and clarity of the water in this region add to the experience as well.

The magnificent coral reefs of the Caribbean may pique your interest as you swim about getting up close to diverse marine life. Some islands are better than others in terms of what you'll see, but you'll be able to have a fantastic snorkeling experience on most of them. While snorkeling, keep safety in mind — snorkeling tends to be safer for persons who can swim. It is not advised to go snorkeling alone if you cannot swim. You should avoid going too far out of your depth while snorkeling as well. Stay in an area where your feet will be completely flat on the ground when you are standing in the water.

Five best Caribbean islands for snorkeling:

  • Snorkeling in Curaçao - You can experience an awesome underwater adventure in Curaçao at popular snorkeling sites such as Playa Lagun, Little Knip Beach, and Playa Piskado.
  • Snorkeling in Exuma (The Bahamas) - The Sea Aquarium near the Exuma Land and Sea Park and the Holywood-famous Thunderball Grotto are optimal spots for a snorkeling trip in Exuma if you desire turquoise water teeming with fish.
  • Snorkeling in Turks & Caicos - Some of the best snorkeling in Turks & Caicos can be found near one of the best beaches in Turks & Caicos! The reef at Grace Bay Beach is a great place to enjoy fabulous snorkeling on the island.
  • Snorkeling in Belize - If you are looking for great snorkeling sites in Belize, try the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, Gladden Split, or Turneffe Atoll, the largest coral atoll in the Caribbean.
  • Snorkeling in Grand Cayman - Unique locations like the Bioluminescent Bay, Stingray City, and Turtle Reef can provide a snorkeling experience like no other while you’re in Grand Cayman.

Insider tip: The best Turks & Caicos all-inclusive family vacation packages include lots of options for dining, multiple pools for the family to enjoy, and even easy access to the best places to snorkel in the Turks & Caicos. All of these and more can be found at Beaches Turks & Caicos!


3. Kitesurfing

The thrill of flying through the air as part of your Caribbean kitesurfing experience definitely might be reason enough to try this adrenaline-boosting water sport. This is a wind-powered sport in which you will ride on a board propelled forward by a kite. You’ll need a bit of training and instruction before you can try kiteboarding in the Caribbean, but once you have the hang of it, sliding across the water led by your kite will be the most amazing experience ever. Kiteboarding is best for the most adventurous vacationers, as is windsurfing.

Five best Caribbean islands for kitesurfing:

  • Kitesurfing in Turks & Caicos - The clear turquoise waters and steady winds of Turks & Caicos make it a top destination for kitesurfers. Head to Long Bay Beach on Providenciales for ideal kitesurfing conditions, including flat water and consistent winds. With plenty of space to ride and stunning views, it's a great spot for both beginners and advanced kitesurfers.
  • Kitesurfing in Aruba - Boca Grandi Beach, located on the southeast coast of the island, is a top spot for kitesurfing enthusiasts looking for challenging waves and strong winds. For a more laid-back atmosphere, head to Fisherman's Huts on the northwest coast, which offers ideal conditions for beginners.
  • Kitesurfing in Barbados - Silver Sands Beach on the island's south coast is one of the best spots for this activity, with strong winds and plenty of space to ride. If you’re a beginner, you may prefer kitesurfing at nearby Long Beach where the conditions are a little calmer.
  • Kitesurfing in Saint Martin - Orient Bay, located on the island's northeastern coast, has flat water and steady winds that make it conducive to kitesurfing. If you want more of a challenge, head to the western coast of the island, where you'll find stronger winds and larger waves.
  • Kitesurfing in Antigua & Barbuda - Jabberwock Beach on Antigua's northeastern coast is a rather popular place for kitesurfing, offering ideal conditions for both beginners and advanced riders.

Did you know?: The Caribbean is actually a beloved surfing destination! There are a couple of islands you can travel to if you want to try traditional surfing in the Caribbean. If you’re skilled enough, you may even wish to participate in one of the annual surfing competitions.


4. Sailing

Whether you're a seasoned sailor or setting off for the first time, there are lots of options to choose from for a sailing adventure in the Caribbean. This is a leisurely activity that is perfect for days when you really want to take things at a slower pace. Experienced sailors will be able to book sailing charters or enjoy all-inclusive resorts with boats they can take out into the water. For newbies, you'll be able to book a private or group boat excursion or hire a captain for a sailing charter.

If sailing is something you've always wanted to do but you've never quite been able to make the time to learn (or just couldn't find a boat!), a vacation in the Caribbean just might be the ideal time. Some resorts offer professional sailing instruction like the Beaches Resorts Sailing School. This program makes it possible for children and teens to venture out onto the ocean in Laser Bug Performance boats, Hobie Waves, or Hobie Getaways. Kids as young as 8 years old can also take part in introductory sailing experiences in the Caribbean.

Five best Caribbean islands for sailing:

  • Sailing in Antigua & Barbuda - Antigua’s numerous harbors and protected bays make it a top sailing destination. Check out English Harbour for its charming colonial architecture and ideal sailing conditions.
  • Sailing in Grenada - Known as the "Spice Island," Grenada offers both scenic sailing and opportunities to explore ashore. Head to Prickly Bay for calm waters and stunning sunsets.
  • Sailing in Saint Vincent - While sailing the rugged coastline and secluded bays of Saint Vincent, it’s a great idea to visit the Tobago Cays, a group of uninhabited islands with crystal-clear waters perfect for snorkeling.
  • Sailing in Saint Lucia - While taking in Saint Lucia’s stunning natural beauty from coastal waters, you’ll have an excellent vantage point to check out the iconic Piton Mountains, two volcanic peaks rising from the sea.
  • Sailing in Puerto Rico - There are diverse sailing locations available in Puerto Rico from the calm waters of San Juan Bay to the more challenging conditions of the island's east coast. Be sure to check out the bioluminescent bay in Vieques for a truly unforgettable sailing experience.


5. Surfing

The Caribbean is known for its beautiful white sand beaches and calm, clear waters. As this is what most come to expect from this region, it might be a little surprising to know that some exciting surf experiences await in this destination too. Some of the best Caribbean surfing spots can be found on islands like Jamaica, Barbados, Puerto Rico, and others.

6. Waterskiing

A little (or a lot!) or bravery might be required for water skiing. The good news is once you've taken a lesson or two from a professional instructor, you'll feel confident enough to head out on the water to try some real water skiing action. If you're well versed in the water skiing arena, then trying this water sport out in the Caribbean is the next best thing. As part of this experience, you’ll get to admire amazing views while enjoying the ocean in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Water skiing is best for vacationers looking for a thrill. In terms of resorts in the Caribbean where you can find some water skiing action, look in the direction of Beaches Negril — this is one of the only resorts in the Caribbean to include water skiing in its all-inclusive offering. Added to that, Beaches Negril is the only resort to include professional, purpose-built Mastercraft boats which can make this experience loads more fun!

Five best Caribbean islands for waterskiing: Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Dominican Republic, Aruba, Bonaire.

Expert tip: Do you have kids who're going to want to spend lots of time in the water while on vacation in Jamaica? Negril resorts can be ideal as you’ll be able to find options for kids’ scuba, water sports, and so much more. Added to that, Beaches Resorts in Negril is one of the best water park resorts in the Caribbean!


7. Wakeboarding

Not only is wakeboarding fun, but it's also a great way to tone your body. Wakeboarding involves using a board with foot binding that the rider stands on as he or she is towed behind a motorboat. The boat usually goes at around 30 miles per hour while you, the rider, hold onto a tow handle attached to the boat by a rope. Wakeboarders often wear safety equipment including helmets and life jackets. Wet suits are also fairly common.

Ahead of your wakeboarding adventure in the Caribbean, you'll be given a safety briefing by your instructor and told what to expect. Details of the route will also be provided. Compared to some other water sports, wakeboarding can be picked up fairly easily. As your instructor will tell you, one of the most important things to know when wakeboarding is to use the right foot as the leading one. Overall, wakeboarding will more or less entail riding the waves created by the boat.

Five best Caribbean islands for wakeboarding: Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Dominican Republic, Aruba, Bonaire.


8. Tubing

Tubing is one of the most thrilling water sports adventures available in the Caribbean. It's one of those things you and your kids may find yourself doing repeatedly throughout your beach day. Tubing might also be referred to as inner tubing or kite tubing depending on where you go. This adventure entails the rider sitting in a large tube that is towed by a boat. The tubes are typically round and come in a variety of sizes. Most tubes (also known as biscuits or donuts) can accommodate multiple riders.

You won't need to practice before your Caribbean water tube ride, but you will most likely be given instructions ahead of time. To keep you safe, you'll be told what to do and what you shouldn't do during the ride. You will also be informed of the ride's route and duration. Tubing is a great option if you're visiting the Caribbean with your children and want to ensure that they have rave reviews afterward!

Five best Caribbean islands for tubing: Jamaica, Turks & Caicos, Saint Vincent, The Bahamas, Barbados.


9. Windsurfing

You’ll have lots of options for amazing water sports to try in the Caribbean, including windsurfing. As some of the beaches in this region are windier than others, these would be the ideal beaches for a windsurfing adventure. Windsurfing is the perfect way to enjoy the gorgeous Caribbean scenery while surfing the waves.

Windsurfing Caribbean Sea

This is a wind-powered sport, as the name implies. Windsurfing is a cross between sailing and surfing, and it entails getting on a windsurfing board, balancing yourself on the water, and navigating the sail in the wind. Windsurfing can be a little challenging at times. As such, it is one of those water sports that will necessitate some practice. You will be able to learn the basics of windsurfing during your vacation.

Five best Caribbean islands for windsurfing: Turks & Caicos, Aruba, Barbados, Saint Martin, Antigua & Barbuda.


10. SNUBA diving

SNUBA diving is a great way to enjoy diving a little deeper in the Caribbean without additional certifications. During your vacation, you can sign up for a SNUBA adventure with friends or family to see some of the most amazing underwater views. This activity is best for water lovers with a sense of adventure who enjoy trying new things.

SNUBA diving isn’t as in-depth as scuba diving, but it is a little more intensive than snorkeling. Consider it the perfect mix between both of these types of diving. If you’ve never SNUBA dived before, you can check out our ultimate guide to snuba diving which will provide details on what to expect. Some of the pluses of SNUBA is that you can dive up to 20 feet deep with the help of a breathing apparatus, minus the heavy equipment that would come along with scuba diving. The hoses that provide air for SNUBA divers are attached to a small raft at the surface. Children who are as young as six or seven can try this type of diving as part of special diving programs, which is also a plus.

Five best Caribbean islands for SNUBA diving: The Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, Grenada, Saint Lucia, Jamaica.


11. Paddleboarding

Paddle boarding is one of those water sports that might take a little getting used to. This is basically surfing the waves with a paddle. Once you know what you’re doing, paddle boarding can be fun and relaxing. Before setting off, you’ll need to select a board. The size of your paddle board will depend on your level of experience and there are quite a few options to choose from. If you’re interested in paddle boarding with the family, older children will be able to join in just as long as they can swim.

There are a few things to keep in mind when paddle boarding for the first time. Firstly, use a leash that will keep your board tethered to you if sea conditions change. You’re also going to want to be mindful of professional instructions which are a must before heading out. Ride just the waves that you can handle, and pay attention to things like paddling with your core, and falling off your board the right way if you do. Overall, ensure that you're comfortable before setting off and have fun!

Four best Caribbean islands for paddle boarding: Turks & Caicos, The Bahamas, Antigua & Barbuda, British Virgin Islands.


12. Kayaking

In the Caribbean, you can put your paddling skills to the test while also discovering new locales and taking in the breathtaking scenery. One of the best ways to do this is with a kayaking adventure. This is a popular water activity on most Caribbean islands and it entails getting aboard a canoe-like boat and maneuvering around in the water with a double-bladed paddle. Most kayaks can accommodate two passengers, making this an ideal pastime for couples. Families that are searching for adventure may also enjoy kayaking in the Caribbean. If you have a larger group, you will be able to take out multiple kayaks at once for an exciting experience.

13. Bodyboarding

Body boarding can be super fun out in the sunshine on a tropical beach. This is an activity that won't take much — just people who genuinely want a bit of excitement in the ocean and a suitable bodyboard. Bodyboarding is appropriate for all ages which makes it a great option for a family vacation in the Caribbean.

In comparison to other boards used for surfing the waves, learning how to use a bodyboard in the Caribbean will be simpler. This is a great option if you're going wave riding for the first time, or if your beach trip includes younger children who want to join in on the fun.

Four best Caribbean islands for bodyboarding: Barbados, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Trinidad & Tobago.


14. Aqua triking

Aqua triking is ideal for one of those lazy days at the beach when you just feel like trying something a little different. These water bikes don’t require much training, if any. You’ll simply need to get on board the trike and start pedaling. Aquatrikes are usually suitable for two people, which means it can be a great couple's activity. So, when the kids are busy at the kids' camp, you and the love of your life can take off on an Aquatrike adventure. Riding above the clear and tranquil waters as part of this experience will be a dreamy vacation memory you won't soon forget!

BONUS: Head to a Caribbean waterpark!

Water parks aren’t usually thrown into the category of water sports, but it certainly feels like one! Going to a Caribbean water park is one of the most fun things to do in this destination, especially if you're traveling with children. At water parks like the Pirates Island Waterpark at Beaches Turks & Caicos, there are lots of fun things for both kids and adults to get into. There’s even a Surf Simulator that you can try your hand on. You’ll feel like a pro, even if you’ve never surfed a day in your life!

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!

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.

Julie and Chieu Vu - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
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!

destination wedding travel agent Cancun
Alison & Alex K. - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
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 ♥️♥️

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

Jodie Yu - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
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 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!

Bridgette Cariker - All Inclusive Beach 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!!

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
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!

Justin and Mariama Jordan - All Inclusive Beach Wedding

Chelsey Groh - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
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!!!

Amy Taylor - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
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!

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

And lots more!
