Calabash Bay
Calabash Bay is a popular spot known for its array of private villas, hotels, bars, and restaurants, all scattered throughout the area. This cove has a lively and fun atmosphere, and you'll often see visitors going from one beach shack to the next, either sipping on cocktails or exploring what the beach has to offer. Swimming is usually a good option here, but the water can be choppy on some days. It's worth keeping that in mind if you plan to visit with small children.
Frenchman's Bay
Frenchman's Bay is the primary beach in Treasure Beach and is situated near the Santa Cruz Mountain range. The beach is surrounded by lush greenery, making it ideal for those seeking a true slice of paradise while in Jamaica. The golden sand and inviting turquoise waters are trademarks of this beach and contribute to its popularity. Throughout the day, you can expect a steady stream of visitors stopping by to enjoy its beauty.
In the Frenchman's Bay area, there are numerous resorts, restaurants, and shops to explore. One of the places worth checking out is the French Man's Reef Restaurant, which offers a mouth-watering selection of American and Italian cuisine and seafood, including pizza, burgers, and cocktails. Additionally, there are other restaurants and bars in the area that serve delicious jerk chicken and local soup specials, which you won't want to miss.
Good to know: The currents at Frenchman's Bay tend to be quite strong so parents with children (or anyone who cannot swim) should proceed with caution.
Great Bay
In the Great Bay area, there are several options available to enjoy freshly cooked fish. You can visit the Fishermen's co-op building or any of the beach shacks, for example. They have a variety of chilled local drinks, including ice-cold beer, that would perfectly complement your meal. The Lobster Pot, a highly-rated restaurant, is also in this region if you want to try some delicious seafood. It is a good choice if you're looking for a simple yet satisfying dining experience.
Great Bay has soft golden sand and clear turquoise waters. Though it is one of the less visited beaches in the area, you'll still find a few people swimming around in the warm waters on most days. If you're looking for a quieter and more relaxed beach option with great scenery, Great Bay can be a good fit.
While there, you can explore the small communities that make up the main town, each with its own unique personality. Or, you can just walk along the beach, savor the drinks, and have your fill of local cuisine.
History of Treasure Beach
Treasure Beach has a rich history that dates back to 700 AD, when the Taino Indians arrived. The Taino Indians were known for their peaceful ways and were the first inhabitants of Jamaica. They were also highly skilled in crafts such as pottery, carving, weaving, boat building, and farming. These traditions have been passed down for centuries and are still present in some parts of Jamaica today. Many of their artifacts, such as pottery, can still be found in Treasure Beach and other parts of Jamaica. Unfortunately, their population dwindled after the arrival of Spanish settlers and eventually became non-existent.
Good to know: If you want to do some more exploring while in the Treasure Beach area, you can take a boat to Fort Charles Beach, Black River, and Floyd's Pelican Bar.
Things to do in Treasure Beach
Go to Floyd's Pelican Bar
A visit to Floyd's Pelican Bar can be a delightful experience while in Jamaica. This floating bar made of wood is widely described by patrons as the "coolest bar in the world". The views of the surrounding ocean from this bar are breathtaking and should not be missed. You will need to take a boat ride to get to Floyd's Pelican Bar, but once you arrive, you can enjoy a variety of chilled drinks, including rum punch and beer. If you're feeling hungry, you can indulge in some fish or lobster. If seafood is not your thing, you can bring along your own snacks.
Boats to Floyd's Pelican Bar depart daily from Black River, Treasure Beach, Parottee Point, and other areas. While at Pelican Bar, you can become a part of its tradition by carving your name onto its wooden planks.
Expert Tip: If you're going to Floyd's Pelican Bar, be sure to bring cash, as credit cards are not accepted there. Both Jamaican Dollars (JMD) and U.S. Dollars (USD) can be used.
Enjoy the local culture
As one of the areas in Jamaica that encourages community-based tourism, Treasure Beach effortlessly shows off the authentic side of Jamaica. Residents support sustainable local development, and this will be evident from the moment you get to the Parish of St. Elizabeth and are greeted with the quirky sign that reads, "In this parish, we work, not shirk". This sign and the people you come across in this area really speak to the work ethic of the locals, which was imparted over 200 years ago by hard-working fishermen, farmers, and other segments of the working class.
While in Treasure Beach, you can also visit the surrounding cays, which are popular for fishing. These little islands are enveloped by fertile fishing grounds, so you're bound to reel in something interesting. The fishermen in the area set off on fishing adventures every day and often return with bountiful catches.
Breds Treasure Beach Sports Park
Breds Treasure Beach Sports Park is a great place to have some real vacation fun. The Treasure Beach area has become a hub for sports tourism, and the sports park is an excellent addition to this drive. You can visit the park to watch live sports matches, including cricket, football, and sometimes track meets. Saturday nights are usually lively, with lots of music and entertainment in between live games.
The 17-acre Breds Treasure Beach Sports Park & Academy regularly hosts over 1,500 local athletes who come to play sports. During the summer months, the Academy hosts local and international camps that include coaches and celebrity athlete mentors like Venus and Serena Williams. If you are in Jamaica at this time, these events are visitor-friendly and can be worth experiencing. The Breds Treasure Beach Sports Park also has a 400-foot zip line and numerous tennis courts.
YS Falls
Visiting waterfalls is a must when in Jamaica, as the island boasts some of the most remarkable
Experiencing the waterfalls at YS Falls can be a refreshing and immersive experience. While there, you can dip into a natural pool fed by underground and above-ground springs, which is a good option for children or non-swimmers. If you're feeling adventurous, there's zip-lining available right over the top of the falls and river tubing further inland, past a working cattle and stud farm. Alternatively, if you'd prefer to relax and soak up some peace and tranquility, there's plenty of room in the cabanas next to the natural spring. Bathrooms and changing rooms are also available at YS Falls, located at the ticket office.
Good to know: Certain areas of the waterfall have rocky terrain, so swimming is prohibited in those sections. However, there are other locations where you can wade and stand beneath the waterfall. Once you're done exploring YS Falls, make sure to check out some more of the
best waterfalls in Jamaica .
Shop at Africa Village Arts
Africa Village Arts is a divine creative haven conceptualized by Sharon Martini and intentionally designed to be 'rootsy'. It is situated in Treasure Bay, Jamaica, an area that Martini considers to be the home of her ancestors. The space is designed to inspire its creator and those who visit through art, music, designs, paintings, and songs.
Martini is an active volunteer in the community, but outside of volunteer work, she can usually be found conceptualizing, sanding, sawing, singing, painting, or sewing. Often, you'll hear her melodiously strumming her guitar and digging in the soil. At Africa Village Arts, you can visit the Mud Palace Gallery, which showcases art of all kinds, including children's books, cards, original paintings, handmade jewelry, t-shirts, and lots of other souvenirs and gift options.
What to eat at Treasure Beach
As a fishing town, Treasure Bay offers a great opportunity to try some delicious local seafood. Many restaurants in the area serve fresh fish on a daily basis. You can indulge in fried fish, which is a popular option, along with a Jamaican staple called "bammie". "Bammie" is a traditional dish made from cassava root. Apart from the fresh, tasty fish and bammie, you can try some other famous Jamaican dishes here, such as spicy jerk chicken.
Overall, Treasure Beach is a lively area with an abundance of restaurants that offer amazing meals. You can choose from a variety of cuisines, including Jamaican, Italian, Thai, and Indian. Popular restaurants in Treasure Beach include Eggy's, Smurf's Cafe, and Jakes Country Kitchen.
When to visit Treasure Beach
The months of December through April are considered the peak season in Jamaica, and it's a great time to visit Treasure Beach. During the peak season, the weather is usually mild and sunny with fewer interruptions from rain. However, Jamaica generally has great weather all year round, making Treasure Beach an excellent destination any time of year.
If you'd prefer to avoid peak-season travel, mid-November to mid-December is an even better time to go to Treasure Beach. This time of year offers an average temperature of around 80�°F and prices for accommodations and activities tend to be more affordable during this period.
Good to know: Peak season is a popular time for families to travel.
Ocho Rios resorts andNegril resorts have some amazing reviews from families with children. Both resorts are located in some of thebest areas to stay in Jamaica .
How to get to Treasure Beach
The most convenient options to get to Treasure Beach in Jamaica are taking a taxi or renting a car. If you opt for a car rental, please bear in mind that the roads leading to this area are narrow and winding and have potholes in some places. To find out about the best car rental option, you can inquire through your resort. If you plan to drive to Black River, it's advisable to take the Pedro Cross route, which is the more direct coastal option. The road via Parrotee has several bad potholes.
Alternatively, you can hire a taxi for a simpler solution. If you decide to do so, ensure that you discuss the pricing beforehand and negotiate if necessary. It's essential to have this conversation before the journey begins.

What to pack for your day trip to Treasure Beach
If you're planning a day trip to Treasure Beach, here are some essential items you'll need to pack:
- Sneakers - If the beach you're visiting requires some walking or if you plan on doing some exploring or hiking, sneakers are a great accessory.
Change of clothes - Since everything seems to get wet and sandy on the beach, it's always a good idea to bring extra clothing! - Towels - If you're going to a beach outside of your resort, bring a towel to dry off. You're unlikely to acquire one when you get off property, so this can be useful. Make sure to bring enough towels for everyone in your group.
- Swimsuit - The most convenient option is to wear your swimsuit beneath your clothing, so you can simply peel off the extra layer when you get to the beach and go for a swim.
- Cash (Jamaican or US Dollars) - It's always a good idea to carry some local currency when you're heading out of your resort to go to the beach. This can come in handy if you want to purchase drinks, snacks, or souvenirs. Credit cards are not always accepted by local vendors.
- Camera - You can either bring a separate camera with you to the beach or rely on your phone camera. If you choose to bring a camera, make sure to bring a camera case or a bag to keep it safe and dry.
- Sunscreen - Avoid sunburns by packing some sunscreen into your bag before setting off on your beach day. You can get separate sunscreen options for yourself and your kids. Sunscreen sprays are a convenient way to ensure that everyone is covered!
- Water shoes - Water shoes can come in handy on beaches that are a bit more rocky. These protect your feet and allow you to explore comfortably. Water shoes are a must for beach and waterfall combination tours.
- Insect repellent - To keep bugs at bay, pack insect repellent into your bag whenever you head outdoors. This is one item you'll be grateful to have!
- Beach bag - Bring a big enough beach bag to save yourself the trouble of figuring out how to carry everything. A water-resistant option is worth considering.

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

Excellence, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Destination Wedding
"It was beautiful! Everybody had a fantastic time!"
The staff was wonderful, the rooms were gorgeous, and the food was AMAZING! Our wedding could not have been more perfect and if you have any brides that want a beautiful wedding on a budget, The Excellence Punta Cana would be my number one recommendation. Emy and Livia were fantastic and everything was just PERFECT! Chris couldn't even believe how wonderful it was.
Thank you again for all of your help!!!
Dreams, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Our Dream Wedding!
As soon as Jimmy asked me to marry him, I knew we would want a destination wedding. We love to travel, and we love the beach, so there was no more perfect place to start our lives together than a beach in Mexico!
I am not the wedding planning type, and I knew that with a destination wedding, we could get someone else to plan the details for us. Luckily for me, my friend Lia at Vincent Vacations specializes in Destination Weddings. Lia had taken care of trips for us in the past, and I knew she was the perfect person to help me plan this trip. I was right! She helped me look through destinations, and we found the perfect spot: Dreams in Puerto Vallarta! The package came with a wedding planner, who took care of the details for me. 21 of our friends and family came with us, and everyone loved the resort. Our party ranged in age from 7 to 82, and everyone agreed it was an amazing trip. There were activities for the kids, and plenty of excursions for everyone to choose from. The staff was wonderful, and pampered us from the time we arrived. One of my bridesmaids had a broken foot and was on crutches, and was in a wheelchair some. The hotel staff assisted her anytime she needed it, including carrying her and her wheelchair up and down large flights of stairs. They were amazing! All the rooms are ocean front, with beautiful views. Jimmy and I stayed in the "Preferred" tower, and our room came with a great balcony with a hot tub! Most of our guests stayed in the other tower, but the resort is small enough, this was not a problem at all. They all loved their rooms as well. The wedding planner met with me in advance to work out the last minute details and timing. When our wedding day came, everything went perfectly. We got married on the beach right in front of the ocean. We had a sound system and a dj who played all the songs that we picked out in advance. My Dad is a minister, and he performed the service for us. We had 21 in our wedding party, but it felt like a much bigger wedding because lots of people watched the wedding. You could see people everywhere on their balconies watching, which made us feel like rock stars. We had a Mexican band that played a few songs after the wedding. The wedding came with a photographer and videographer who did amazing job! We took pictures right after the wedding, then we had dinner which also came with the wedding. We had steak and chicken which tasted great. Of course, I also asked them for chips and guacamole. (I love the guacamole in Mexico.) They were happy to oblige. They provided the wedding cake after which was amazing. After the wedding, my husband and I stayed for another 4 days, and it was paradise. I could not have asked for a more beautiful place to get married, or a less stressful way to do it. Thanks Lia and Vincent Vacations for making our special day an amazingly unforgettable experience!

Grand Fiesta Americana, Los Cabos, Mexico, Destination Wedding
This was the best and easiest decision we made about our entire wedding! Lia at All Inclusive Weddings is the absolute best, extremely intelligent, hard working, and so caring. She truly makes you feel like you are her only client throughout the entire process. We had about 120 people coming to our Cabo wedding and even had to switch resorts, visitors coming from all different states and even Europe. She was calm, and kept the bride and groom calm! Every detail was taken care of and it was made to be the most perfect wedding!
Finest, Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding
I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work to arrange the hotel and transfers for Ashley and Robbie's wedding. It was perfect and everything that she had ever dreamed of! The resort was amazing! We had great food at all the restaurants. The staff went over the top to accommodate any needs that you could have had! Everyone felt safe and the beaches are beautiful. Since it's more private you don't get the crazy vendors walking the beach trying to sell you stuff. Our family loved it so much and we defiantly will be planning another vacation. You will be the first I call if we need help to organize something! Thank you again for everything
We have been in business since 2013, and booking destination weddings since 2002!
