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.

1. Book restaurants on arrival.

If you want to get into the best restaurants at your resort, book early. Find out what's available online, so when you get there, you have a rough idea where you want to eat. The staff at the resort will help you make reservations, which are important especially during peak season travel from the month of December until April. Early restaurant bookings mean you won't have to be disappointed by fully booked restaurants on nights that you really want to go there. Check the opening times of your favorite restaurants, as some are only open for breakfast and dinner, while others are open only for lunch.

Sandals Montego Bay-Oleander Dinner

Don't worry about not being able to get anything to eat during your stay, if you don't make reservations. There are plenty of options available without needing any prior arrangements, it's just the most popular restaurants that require reservations.

Find more information on opening times and dress codes of the restaurants at your resort here: Sandals Montego Bay, Sandals Royal Caribbean, Sandals Negril, Sandals South Coast, Sandals Ochi, Sandals Royal Plantation (all in Jamaica), Sandals Royal Bahamian, Sandals Emerald Bay (both in the Bahamas), Sandals Regency La Toc, Sandals Grande St. Lucian, Sandals Halcyon Beach (all in Saint Lucia), Sandals Grande Antigua, Sandals Grenada, Sandals Barbados, Sandals Royal Barbados.

2. Bring evening attire for the restaurants.

Sandals Montego Bay Tent Dining

If you're on your way to vacation at any Sandals property, bring clothing for all occasions. Some restaurants have dress codes, and you're going to want to be properly attired for this purpose. Every night at Sandals is 'date night' after all! Swimsuits with cover-ups are fine during the day, but there's plenty of reason to dress up for dinner when you're staying at a resort as elegant as Sandals.

Bonus Tip: Dress up nicely and have the photographer take professional photos of you on the most romantic spots of the resort. A great memory to frame on the wall once back home!


3. Book excursions in advance.

4x4 Safari Tour Negril Jamaica

It's the most amazing feeling in the world to get to your vacation destination and not have to worry about booking any excursions because you're ahead of the game, and did that far in advance. Booking tours ahead means you won't have to worry about not getting to do the things that are at the top of your list because they're overbooked, especially in the peak season. Do yourself a favor and plan accordingly, your vacation self will thank you. Add a little adventure to your stay!

4. Bring a reusable straw, towel clips and loads of sunscreen.

Spending your days lazing around at the swim-up bar is one of the favorite things to do for many guests. Sandals Resorts recently replaced their plastic straws with paper straws, in order to reduce its environmental footprint. Although most guests aren't bothered by the paper straws, the straws might bend if they are left in your drink for too long. You can simply request a new straw at the bar, or bring your own reusable straw made of sillicone/metal. Some guests even bring their own reusable Yeti-cups to keep their drinks cold for longer periods of time!

Pro tip: Towel clips keep your towel attached to the lounger while you're taking a dip at the pool or in the sea. These come in quite handy when a warm Caribbean breeze is passing through.

Spending most of your time in the sun, make sure to bring loads of sunscreen to protect yourself from getting sunburned.

All of the above can be bought at the resort shop as well.

5. Ask for double portions if needed.

Sandals Montego Bay Oleander Food

Over the years the portion sizes of some all-inclusive properties have been modified in an effort to reduce wastage. Sandals is no exception. Though guests report the portion sizes to be satisfying, if you want a bit more feel free to ask. In fact, you can order two or three appetizers or entrees if you like, and even try two restaurants in one night if you feel like having something extra. It's vacation after all!

6. Take advantage of the mini-fridge and room service - it's included.

Sandals Montego Bay Butler Room

While some people would rather not use the mini fridge within their hotel or resort, you won't have to think twice about this at Sandals. All rooms have a stacked mini fridge, which is free to use 24-hours a day! Sandals also offers unlimited top-notch Robert Mondavi Twin Oaks wines as part of their all-inclusive experience. Free room-service is available for Club level and Butler level rooms, not for Luxury level rooms.

7. Bring some cash for optional extras - US Dollars will do.

Spending extra money is optional and completely up to you during an all-inclusive vacation. There are a few things you might want to spend some extra on during your stay, and for that reason it's worth bringing along some cash. Things like spa treatments, cabana rentals on privileged locations, souvenirs and photo packages come with an added cost. Although tips are included regarding staff at the resort, you may want to bring cash along to tip tour guides during excursions if you venture out of the resort.

Golf and scuba diving are two other things that come with an added cost; you'll need to pay to get PADI certified if you aren't already. After that, the rest of your dives at the resort will be free, including professional equipment. For golf, while green fees are included, a caddy and a golf cart come with an added cost and are both required. Caddy 9 holes: $15 USD, 18 holes: $20 USD. Golf cart 9 holes: $25 USD, 18 holes: $40 USD.

Scuba diving trips are included (max. two tanks a day, taking into account availability) for PADI certified guests. However, an expense that might come as a surprise is the 'scuba review' course that is available at 80 USD. This once-off course is not required, but highly recommended for guests that haven't dived in a while. This 1 - 2 hour course will refresh your knowledge and build confidence for your coming dives.

Bonus tip: Book your dives at arrival to make sure there's availability. Especially during peak season.


8. Book a spa appointment early in your stay.

couple getting massage sandals

Try everything at least once during your all-inclusive vacation, including a spa treatment or two. The best day to do this is early on in your vacation, so you can quickly sink into a more relaxed frame of mind. This is particularly important if you plan on getting massage treatments, which can be more painful than relaxing on sun burnt skin (you never know!). Aside from massage treatments, selections at The Red Lane Spa at Sandals include facials, massages, coffee wraps, and various other pampering treats like the Caribbean Seaweed Body Treatment.

Insider tip: You can get your massage treatment done at the spa, but you can also make a special request to have your massage done in a more romantic setting, like on the beach, or in a private Cabana. This way you can listen to the calming sounds of the ocean while getting your massage.


9. Keep in mind that tipping is included, with the exception of the butlers.

Sandals Montego Bay Butler Beach

Sandals staff are known for their amazing service, so it is to be expected that many people have questions about how much to tip, or whether tipping is encouraged within the resort. You'll be happy to know that except for butlers; tipping is included, and you won't need to shell out any money for tips while on vacation. The resort handles the tipping, and you're free to enjoy your vacay. If you think your butler went the extra mile and offered exceptional service, you can choose to tip your butler - but this is entirely up to you.

10. Make use of the front-desk.

Sandals Barbados Front Desk Lobby

The staff at the front-desk (and the entire resort generally) are always friendly and willing to help with anything you may need. The front-desk staff are trained to be of direct assistance to guests, and when it's busy it's more effective to go to them for help, compared to flagging down staff who are passing by on their way to help another guest. Besides the usual check-in and check-out times, the front desk staff are normally not busy and eager to give full attention to your needs.

You don't have to worry about this when you booked a butler suite, which comes with a phone that summons your butler to you whenever you need assistance.

11. Use 'the Loop' on property to make quick requests.

The Service Loop can be used via the Sandals mobile app by simply clicking on the 'Loop' button while logged in. Here guests can make requests during their stay - anything from having your fridge restocked or getting some fresh towels. Additionally, guests can leave feedback for staff on 'the Loop' based on their experiences.

Although guests can access the Loop from pretty much anywhere, it is advisable to use it only while on property. Guests wanting to make contact once they've left the resort can find Sandals contact details here.

12. Book a Loyalty & Travel return stay.

One of the amazing benefits of staying at Sandals Resorts is that while you are still at the resort, you'll be able to book your next Sandals vacation at a discount. Sign up for the loyalty program any receive an additional 10% off any Luxury Level room, 11% off any Club Level room, and 12% off any Butler Level room at any of the Sandals and Beaches Resorts. You can sign up for the loyalty program through the Loyalty and Travel desk at your Sandals Resort.



Tips and tricks BEFORE booking your Sandals vacation

1. All Sandals Resorts are adults-only.

Sandals Montego Bay Piano Bar

Sandals resorts cater to adults looking to have a romantic vacation on a tropical island. The adult-only theme means that everything is designed with couples in mind, and that you'll bask in the sophistication of that concept throughout the duration of your vacation. Enjoy the perks of this specialized resort by taking advantage of all the amenities created just for couples that are sure to set your love on fire!

If you're looking for a family-oriented all-inclusive resort, consider booking Beaches Resorts, the sister resort of Sandals which includes an amazing waterpark the kids will love!

2. Make use of discounts.

Check the Sandals specials page on a regular occasion to potentially cut the cost of your vacation, or enjoy other free resort incentives. From time to time you'll often find opportunities to book a free couples massage, get a free catamaran cruise or resort credit, save money by booking more nights, and other savings. Especially the 7-7-7 deals are popular to get discount upon discount.

If you're looking to cut costs, it might be more effective to book outside of peak season, which takes place around mid-December to mid-April. Outside this period, you will find more availability and lower room rates. That takes us to our next point...

3. Keep the season in mind.

Before making a booking, decide for yourself what sort of experience you're looking for out of a romantic Caribbean vacation. People wanting to travel at a time when the islands and the resorts are most upbeat, will find what they crave for during peak season (mid-December until mid-April), though as with everything else there are pros and cons associated with travelling during this season. More people travel during the peak season, so you can expect the beaches, swimming pools and restaurants to be more populated. Certain tours may be harder to secure if you don't book them in advance. The low season is a little calmer, which is ideal for people who just want some peace and quiet. Either way, Sandals caters to couples who want to travel during any of those seasons.

4. Choose the resort that suits you as a couple.

Sandals Barbados Couple Lounge Beach

Each Sandals Resort has a distinct character. Although Sandals makes a point of ensuring first-class experiences across the board, the resort chain is known for its diverse offerings to suite any couple looking for a romantic getaway!

Looking forward to socialise and party with other couples? Sandals Ochi and Sandals Montego Bay are the place to be! Looking for a more quiet and intimate experience? Sandals Royal Plantation and Sandals Halcyon Beach might be a better match. Love golf? You don't want to miss out on Greg Norman's Championship course at Sandals Emerald Bay. This golf course comes with stunning views over Exuma's turquoise waters! Sandals Royal Bahamian and Sandals Royal Caribbean even come with a private offshore island.

Each resort has a personality of its own, so it's worth taking the time to determine which resort is best for you before booking. Read our 'Which Sandals Resort Is Best For You' post which will help match you up with the perfect Sandals resort!



5. Check if your Sandals resort is close to another Sandals resort.

Sandals has a very compelling incentive - their exchange program makes it possible for guests to stay at one Sandals all-inclusive resort and enjoy the amenities of other Sandals properties located nearby. This includes all restaurants and bars!

Picture: Guests at Sandals Grande St Lucian get free access to all amenities (and restaurants!) of Sandals Regency La Toc and Sandals Halcyon Beach.

For instance, you can stay at any of the three Sandals resorts in Saint Lucia and get access to all three, including free transfers. This gives you access to a total of 27 (!) restaurants, all included in your stay.

  • From Sandals Grande St. Lucian to Sandals Regency La Toc: 45-minute drive.
  • From Sandals Regency La Toc to Sandals Halcyon Beach: 20-minute drive.
  • From Sandals Halcyon Beach to Sandals Grande St. Lucian: 30-minute drive.

Sandals Royal Caribbean Private Island Over Water Bungalows

Picture: Minutes away from Sandals Montego Bay, you will get free access to Sandals Royal Caribbean and its private offshore island.

In Jamaica, guests of Sandals Montego Bay can make use of all amenities at Sandals Royal Caribbean, and vice versa. The distance between the two resorts is a 10-minute ride (transfers included). This gives guests access to 20 restaurants and a private offshore island.

Guests of Sandals Royal Plantation get access to Sandals Ochi (adults-only, transfers included) and Beaches Ocho Rios (family friendly, transfers not included). Guests of Sandals Ochi get access to Beaches Ocho Rios (transfers not included).

  • From Sandals Royal Plantation to Sandals Ochi: 10-minute walk / 2-minute drive.
  • From Sandals Royal Plantation to Beaches Ocho Rios: 15-minute drive.
  • From Sandals Ochi to Beaches Ocho Rios: 15-minute drive.

Guests of Sandals Negril get access to the family friendly Beaches Negril (transfers not included), which would take a 5-minute taxi ride.

Sandals Royal Barbados Long Beach

Picture: Sandals Barbados guests will get free access to Sandals Royal Barbados and vice versa.

Last but not least, the latest additions to the Sandals family - the luxurious all-inclusive resorts in Barbados: Sandals Barbados and Sandals Royal Barbados can basically be seen as one big property. Guests of both resorts can make use of all amenities in the other resort. This gives guests access to a total of 18 restaurants.

6. The room matters more than you might think.

Sandals Montego Bay Interior Room

There are two kinds of Sandals guests: the guests that always book a room with the lowest rate (the inclusions are the same after all, and how much time are you really gonna spend in your room anyway?) and the Sandals guests who understands each room comes with a different experience and service level.

You'd be surprised at the difference the room can make. Each suite comes with its own service level: Luxury, Club Level and Butler Elite.

Luxury is where it all starts at Sandals, you will get access to all resort amenities, a mini-fridge stocked with local beers and Robert Mondavi wines among other (soft) drinks, in-room Wifi and airport transfers.

Club Level is one step up from Luxury. You will get access to all resort amenities, free room service, a mini-fridge stocked with local beer, Robert Mondavi wines and a variety of other liquors among other (soft) drinks, in-room Wifi, airport transfers and concierge service.

Butler Suite balcony

Butler Elite is the highest level of service. You will get access to all resort amenities, personal butler service, a fully stocked in-room bar, in-room Wifi and private luxury airport transfers at select resorts. At arrival you will be welcomed by your butler and get handed over a butler phone, so you can summon your butler whenever you want! Let your butler handle all your restaurant reservations, serve you your favorite drinks and food right at the pool and beach, reserve your favorite cabana in the morning and much more!

Read more about the most common Sandals butler requests to gain more insight.

Want to arrive in style? The top-tier suites at Sandals Royal Bahamian and Sandals Royal Barbados will be picked up at the airport in a Rolls Royce! The top-tier suites at Sandals Montego Bay, Sandals Royal Caribbean and Sandals South Coast include a private airport transfer in a luxurious BMW or Mercedes. Find out more.


Besides the difference in service, top-tier suites are often located in prime locations and add to the luxury experience. Go for a romantic swim in the evening, right from your room with Sandals swim-up suites. Get away from it all in the luxurious overwater bungalows. Enjoy your stay at a private Millionaire Villa Suite in the mountains at Sandals Regency La Toc or enjoy the view from the private infinity pool that comes with your Skypool Suite. Find more unique suites to celebrate your love at Sandals Signature Suites.

7. Keep surrounding area in mind.

Zipline Tour

Figuring out what attractions are near the Sandals resort you're considering, can help you decide which resort, and which Caribbean island is best suites you. Although you won't be bored at the resorts, most guests recommend to spend at least half a day out of the resort during your stay. It helps if the things you're most interested in seeing or doing are nearby. Do some research to find out which tours and points of interest are located near the resorts.

You can book excursions at the Island Routes office at the resort, or choose to book online in advance to ensure availability (recommended).

8. Invest in a travel protection plan.

Looking into a travel protection plan ahead of your vacation is highly recommended, especially if you will be travelling during the off-season. These plans will help you secure your expenses in the event that your vacation dates need to be changed, or if your travel plans change in some way. Travel protection plans cover costs associated with your trip being interrupted, baggage, medical expenses, tour refunds and emergency evacuations. You can simply purchase your plan while booking your Sandals vacation online. Cancelation of your trip for a covered reason will grant you a full refund for unused parts of your stay, otherwise you'll get a travel certificate that you can use later. The travel protection plan is non-refundable and will be included in the total cost of your vacation, if you choose to add it.

9. Check airport transfer times.

Sandals Royal Barbados Entrance Rolls Royce

Airport transfer times vary from country to country, and it helps to find out about these in advance, so you know what to expect. Looking for a quick Caribbean getaway and don't want to waste too much time driving from and to the airport? There are several Sandals resorts with short airport transfer times (under 20 minutes). These include Sandals Montego Bay, Sandals Royal Caribbean, Sandals Royal Bahamian, Sandals Emerald Bay, Sandals Grenada, Sandals Grande Antigua and both Sandals resorts in Barbados. All costs associated with airport transfers are included in your package.


That's it in a nutshell... Have fun!

Now that you've got all these useful tips and tricks up your sleeve, you're well equipped to enjoy a one-of-a-kind all-inclusive vacation at Sandals like an expert. Enjoy your stay!

Some of our destination weddings

Kate and Curtis - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
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.

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!

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!

"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!

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!
