In
But, first things first. Before heading out, you'll need to decide the type of experience you're looking for. Do you want a scenic and remote beach setting or would you prefer a beach where water sports and entertainment are plentiful? How about a beach that's close to some of the best local bars and restaurants? Or, maybe a small, secluded beach you'll need to get to by boat? Whatever you’re looking for, we’re fairly certain there’s a beach with your name on it in SVG. Read on for some of our favorites!
Insider Tip: Saint Vincent is one of the main islands in the 32-island chain known as Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. If you stay in a Sandals Saint Vincent

1. Mopion

The beaches in The Grenadines are very much as easy going as this destination. As you explore some of the smaller beach areas like Mopion, this becomes even more apparent. Mopion is pretty much a sand bar island and it is located near the Tobago Keys. This beach makes a great day trip option providing that you don’t mind having to pack and take all your beach essentials with you. Once you get past that and get going, you can expect a fun and casual beach day that’s filled with exploration.
Mopion beach has a calm and relaxing atmosphere as compared to many of the beaches of The Grenadines. Remote really is an under statement here, but this can absolutely be a good thing. If you’re open to new vacation discoveries, you can get to this beach by boat from Saint Vincent. Snorkeling here is a must, so be sure to factor in snorkel gear. You’ll also need to bring along sunscreen, snacks and drinks (including water) for a visit to Mopion Beach.
2. Tobago Cays Marine Park
Visiting the Tobago Cays Marine Park is a must while in Saint Vincent & The Grenadines. This destination is often described as the “Jewel in the Crown” of the Southern Grenadines. Five uninhabited islands make up this grouping, and they are all surrounded by a clear lagoon. The thrill of an exploration here is that every one of these islands has at least one white sand beach, so beach hopping will definitely be in order. One of the most popular islands here is Jamesby Island which has a unique look and feel. This is due to the ‘edge of the world’ feel you’ll get looking over the shallow water in a large area, that gradually transitions into a barrier reef, before it touches the Atlantic Ocean.
While in the Tobago Cays Marine Park, we highly recommend snorkeling or scuba diving. Swimming with turtles is also possible here, if you’re lucky enough. Added to that, there are sea turtle nesting sites and feeding areas, mangroves, and coral reef systems that are among the most well-developed in St. Vincent — overall an excursion not to be missed!
Insider Tip: Want more water sports during your vacation in Saint Vincent and The Grenadines? Sandals Resorts in Saint Vincent offer all-inclusive water sports including scuba (up to 2 tanks per day).
3. Petit Tabac

Petit Tabac offers a secluded beach escape that's sure to be one of the highlights of your Saint Vincent vacation. This is a sandy beach spot that was used as a filming location for Pirates of the Caribbean back in the day. In one of the scenes from this famous movie, there’s a clip where Jack Sparrow walks these shores. The imagery really highlights just how beautiful this beach really is.
Petit Tabac is deserted most of the time. Like with many of the more remote beaches of the Grenadines, a boat trip is required for a visit. As the beach doesn’t have any amenities, you’ll want to ensure that you bring along all the things you’ll need for the day, including food and water. Setting up a picnic lunch here can be a vacation highlight.
Good to know: The best way to get to Petit Tabac beach is by hiring a boat to take you there. The waters nearer to shore are quite shallow, so it can take a really skilled captain to dock here safely.
4. Princess Margaret Beach

You can look forward to an above average beach experience at Princess Margaret Beach in Bequia. This is because this beach is not only beautiful, but it has some of the main conveniences beach goers look forward to including nearby restaurants and beach bars. One of our favorites is Mac’s Pizza & Kitchen — the pizza tends to be really delicious here. Plus, they also have vegan options.Jack’s Beach Bar is good for lunch or happy hour. If you have the time, stay for both! There are plenty of other small restaurants and bars near this beach too. You can grab some beers or a local drink before or after your swim.
Princess Margaret Beach is near Port Elizabeth on the island of Bequia. You can take a water taxi to get to this laid back beach, or drive as well. There's also the option of getting there via a rugged cliffside trail. This is a great beach option if you want to sunbathe, swim, or just relax on white, sandy shores.
Good to know: Most of the time, the water at Princess Margaret Beach is beautiful, clear, and conducive for swimming. On some days (depending on the weather), the water can also be a bit choppy too.
5. Macaroni Beach
Sunny and serene, Macaroni Beach is high on our list of beach favorites in SVG. The major appeal of this beach on Mustique in the Grenadines, is the bright blue hue of the water and the glimmering white sand. These views can really drive home the fact that your Caribbean vacation dreams have come to life. Add the fact that there’s lots of trees for shade, and what you have is the closest thing to island beach perfection.
If you plan on going swimming or snorkeling during your beach adventure, you’ll find that Macaroni Beach is a great place to do just that. There’s even picnic areas that you can book and hiking trails. The trick to getting to Macaroni Beach is scheduling a visit, as Mustique is a private island. Once you book early enough, you’re unlikely to run into any issues.
Expert Tip: Saint Vincent & The Grenadines offer some of the best snorkeling in the Caribbean. You can experience this for yourself while
6. Salt Whistle Bay

Salt Whistle Bay has been growing in popularity in recent years. This beach is located on the island on Mayreau, a short boat ride (about 15 minutes) from The Tobago Cays. You can rent a boat to get to this beach or go on a sailing day trip to Mayreau which is the smallest inhabited island of the Grenadines. A popular option to get to Salt Whistle Bay is taking the MV Barracuda from Kingston; the trip takes around 3 hours.
While on Mayreau, you can go kite surfing, snorkelling, or stand up paddle boarding (SUP). Stand up paddle boarding equipment is provided on site. If you’re more interested in a relaxed getaway, you can just chill beachside and admire the views. When hunger hits at some point in the day you can visit the onsite restaurant and beach bar which have delicious menu options. As wait times for meals can be extensive, try to order your food in advance!
Good to know: The views at the end of the cove at Salt Whistle Bay are truly awe-worthy. When you venture to this area you'll be able to see the narrow strip of land that separates the Caribbean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean in a very noticeable contrast.
7. Lower Bay Beach
Lower Bay Beach on Bequia is known for its early morning sun rise views and breathtaking sunsets. The beach itself is just as impressive. From St. Vincent, you can take a boat to get to this beach and experience the mesmerizing blue hue of the water which many visitors have described as “spectacular.”
If you’re planning on visiting Lower Bay Beach, expect things to be more on the quiet side. On week days, you might even have the entire beach to yourself! Weekends are a little different though and that's when you can expect more activities and people in general. Overall, Lower Bay Beach has become one of the most popular beach hang out spots in Bequia.
Good to know:
8. Cumberland Beach Recreation Park located at Cumberland Bay
Photo credit: otorongo/Shutterstock.com
If a peaceful beach day away from the crowds sounds like your idea of an awesome SVG beach day, then Cumberland Beach Recreation Park can be an excellent choice. This beach is often described as a “hidden gem”, and we can see why, given that its tucked inside a park. Cumberland Beach is on the north-western coast of Saint Vincent, just about 21 miles from Kingstown.
Cumberland Beach has imported white sand, lots of palm trees, and a charming look and feel. If you look up this beach, you might come across the name of a man known as Cas. This is a local who frequently helps visitors anchor their boats. Cas is known to direct visitors to his uncle's restaurant nearby, which often has live music and dancing. Cas’s actions really emphasize the easy and accommodating feel of this beach in general, which is great for swimming, snorkelling, hiking, and so much more.
Good to know: Amenities at the Cumberland Beach Recreation Park include laundry facilities, showers and restrooms.
9. Young Island Beach

There are several things to consider when deciding on which beach to visit in Saint Vincent. Distance without a doubt is one of those factors. If you don’t mind taking a short boat trip (about 5 minutes) across a channel to get to one of the most beautiful beaches in the Grenadines, then Young Island Beach might be just the right beach for you.
Before heading off to Young Island, one of the things to note is that it is part of a private resort. Even with that said, the island is open for visitors, and so is the beachside restaurant. The beach on this island, Young Island Beach, is one of the beaches in the Calliaqua settlement. This shady beach has both white and golden sand of a very fine texture. For the sake of relaxation, you’ll be able to find beach loungers and umbrellas here as well as changing rooms, showers, and toilets. There are also many beach activities you can get into, from riding jet skis, to catamaran explorations. If you're interested in either, bookings can be made near the beach.
10. Chatham Bay Beach
Photo credit: RudiErnst/Shutterstock.com
It can be exciting to visit some of the more remote beach options in SVG, like Chatham Beach. This beach is located on the leeward side of Union Island and it is not easily accessed by land. This is because the bay here, which is deep and round, is surrounded by a forested ridge. However, there is a trail you can use to get to this beach if you’ll be heading there from another part of Union Island.
While Chatham Bay Beach is pretty secluded, there are restaurants and a couple bars near the beach. Rum punches here can be pretty potent, so keep that in mind as you sip at the little wooden bars. There’s often a jovial ambiance here with boaters, sunbathers and snorkelers congregating here and exchanging fun tales. Overall, with soft, white sand and clear, warm, turquoise water, this beach is one of the best in SVG.
Insider Tip: Spend more time in the water during your all-inclusive vacation with a
11. Indian Bay Beach
Photo credit: Eleonora Krass/Shutterstock.com
What you see is what you get at Indian Bay Beach. This is a simple and scenic strand where you can enjoy calm, clear water (perfect for swimming or snorkeling), golden sands, and beautiful scenery. This beach is on the smaller side as compared to some of the more well-known options in Saint Vincent, but it makes up for this with its charm. The amenities which include bathrooms and changing rooms don’t hurt either!
Indian Bay Beach can sometimes be crowded during the holidays and on weekends. Again, this is due to its size. If a vibrant beach atmosphere is what you're going for, this won’t be too much of a bother, but will instead make your beach visit more fun. For a quieter visit, head to this beach before 8am. This beach is walkable from the main highway.
Good to know: There are plenty of shops along the beach at Indian Bay Beach and a bar just around the corner. Restaurants are in walking distance from this beach as well.
12. Mt. Wynne Beach
If you’ve never been to a black sand beach before, Mt. Wynne Beach in St. Vincent might be a cool place for that introduction. This beach is around 11 miles from Kingstown, the capital of St. Vincent. The draw of Mt. Wynne is not just its unique look, but also the fact that the beach is kept clean and snorkeling is great. In fact, Mt. Wynne Beach is probably one of the best places to go snorkeling in St. Vincent.
During your visit to Mt. Wynne Beach, you can simply soak in the peace of the moment or get into the entertainment and activities. Depending on when you go, you might come across local vendors selling snacks or food. Beach picnics are also common here. When spending the day at Mt. Wynne Beach, walk with a small amount of cash as it costs a few bucks to use the washroom.
13. Buccament Bay
Photo credit: byvalet/Shutterstock.com
Buccament Bay will probably be one of the first beach recommendations you’ll get once you arrive to Saint Vincent. This is one of many black sand beaches on the island of Saint Vincent. Buccament Bay beach is a good option to spend a couple of hours or a full day if convenience and comfort are important to you while beach side. Once you get there, it won't be hard to get situated with sun beds and umbrellas. Some people enjoy taking in the seaside views from the gazebo that's set up right on the beach. Buccament Bay Beach is about 20 minutes northwest of Kingston. Beach vendors are available on this beach and there are local restaurants within walking distance.
Good to know: There can be a few stray dogs on this beach, but they are friendly for the most part and just go about their business without bothering anyone.
14. Richmond Beach
Photo credit: otorongo/Shutterstock.com
Richmond Beach is the place to go for a quieter beach day where the focus can just be on unwinding. The sea here tends to be quite calm, which is great news for swimmers. While at Richmond Beach you'll likely run into many locals, some of whom love sharing details about the area, and about SVG life in general. This is a great beach for local immersion while in SVG. You can get to Richmond Beach via the Leeward Highway which runs up the west coast of St. Vincent.
Good to know: There's a large parking area at Richmond Beach as well as a restroom. Limited seating is available by the shore.
15. Big Sand Beach
The views and the warm, clear and accommodating waters are a huge part of the appeal for Big Sand Beach in Belmont Bay, Union Island. This beach is about half a mile north of Clifton and has alluring blue waters and scenic views. While vacationing on Saint Vincent, you can spend the day or night on Union Island and even extend your explorations to Mayreau, the Tobago Cays, and Palm Island. At some point during your Big Sand Beach visit, you can make some time to visit the manmade Happy Island for some drinks. This island is within the Union Island Bay.
16. Questelle’s Bay Beach
You won’t have to worry about paying an entrance fee to get to Questelle’s Bay Beach in Saint Vincent. This is a public beach and it is free to access. Questelle’s Bay Beach doesn't have as many amenities as some of the other more popular beaches on this island but it is still possible to enjoy a fun-filled beach day here.
Questelle’s Bay Beach is near Camden Park (close to Kingstown). This is a black and brown sand beach, and some people compare it to Buccament Bay. Parking is available and watersports too. Once you’ve gotten your fill of swimming and sunbathing, you can try other activities like snorkeling and stand up paddle boarding (SUP surfing).
17. Paradise Beach
The name of this beach sets the standard high in terms of what you can expect, but fortunately, Paradise is just what you’ll find here. The scenery might be one of the first things to catch your attention, particularly the sparkling blue water. This beach is surrounded by mountains and cliffs and there’s lots of trees for shade as well.
Beach traffic tends to be minimal at Paradise Beach, though the beach is easily accessible (near the road) and free to visit. This can definitely work in your favor, as you'll have more room to roam and overall just more beach to yourself. Paradise Beach has brown sand, and it is another one of the beaches of Coulls Hill settlement. There aren’t many amenities on this beach, so that's something to keep in mind ahead of a visit. Parking is available right on the beach.
18. Villa Beach
Centralized and convenient are words we love when it comes to beach explorations. This is precisely what makes Villa Beach worth exploring while in Saint Vincent. This beach is just a 10-minute drive from Kingstown and covers most of the basics: safe to swim, restaurants in close proximity (simple cafes), and lots of water sports. On the downside, this beach tends to be a bit crowded, especially on cruise ship days. The water sports and views do make up for this a bit, as does the convenience.

Things to do at the beaches in St Vincent
Swimming
Dip a toe, or better yet, dive right into the beautiful, crystal clear waters of Saint Vincent & The Grenadines. Who knows, maybe you won’t even need much convincing, what with the irresistible island allure. Most beaches in Saint Vincent offer calm seas, a peaceful atmosphere, and an overall scenic outlook. For the majority, it's safe to swim and enjoy the tropical ambiance!
Sunbathing
A vacation in the Caribbean is all about soaking in the warmth of the islands. This absolutely can include spending as much time as possible outdoors... specifically, at the pool or beachside. If you do make your way to the beach while in Saint Vincent, you'll find that many beaches on this island, and in The Grenadines as well, offer sunbathing essentials, like loungers and umbrellas. Aside from some of the more remote beach options, of course. Just a few beaches on this island have changing rooms and restrooms, so this can be something to research ahead of planning your beach day.
Good to know: Many beaches in SVG offer shade from trees or mountains, which is great if you want to sunbathe but also want to ensure that there's enough shade to cool off.
Snorkeling
Photo credit: Denis Moskvinov/Shutterstock.com
Dive right into adventure in SVG, a destination that has some of the best dive sites in the Caribbean. Saint Vincent and many of the other islands of the Grenadines are surrounded by beautiful coral reefs, which can be fun to explore. The clear water of this destination adds to its dive appeal as well. In SVG, there are snorkel sites that are near shore, and others that require boat trips to access. Both options are popular with divers but there are two sites in particular that are especially popular — Young Island Beach and Questelles Beach. These snorkel sites are both located on the mainland and they're known for their impressive sightings.
Hiking
If you want more of a physical challenge in an SVG excursion, you might want to try one of the islands’ hiking trails. There is no short supply of hiking trails in this territory much due to its mountainous terrain. Many of the best trails are located beachside, which can mean that you get the benefit of cooling sea breezes as you explore. Some hiking trails lead to amazing waterfalls as well. Even if you don’t set up a dedicated hiking trip, some of the more secluded beaches actually require a short hike to get there, so you might be able to get some hiking in anyway!
Good to know: In SVG, you can have your pick of a range of hiking trails, from beginner level, to more challenging options. Most of the hikes in this destination are quite scenic, which is a major vacation plus.
Watersports: SUP surfing and kitesurfing
Stand up paddle boarding (SUP) and kite surfing are quite popular in Caribbean islands like Saint Vincent. There are specific beaches on this island that appeal more to the kite surfing crowd, and this includes Salt Whistle Bay. You can find world-class surfing on this beach, and often even someone to teach you this still. At beaches like this, it is often possible to rent kite surfing equipment to use for the day.
Eat and drink
If you’re planning to spend the day at the beach, its completely understandable that you’re probably concerned about food. Many of the top beaches in Saint Vincent have stalls and stands where visitors can purchase refreshments. Some beaches even have restaurants and bars on site, or at least nearby. If the beach you have in mind doesn't have these options you can either bring your own food and drinks or scope what’s available in the general area. If you’ll be visiting a more secluded beach, picnic preparation can be a great idea.
Best beaches in Saint Vincent
We love that Johnny Depp, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the sheer beauty of the beaches are all part of what makes Saint Vincent one of the best vacation destinations in the Caribbean. Whether you spend most of your vacation on the mainland, or float around the Grenadines, we absolutely recommend spending time on at least a couple of the beaches in this destination during your vacation.
And speaking of beaches… you can enjoy the best of these just steps from your all-inclusive suite at Sandals Saint Vincent. This all-new beach resort offers inclusions like day and night entertainment, land and water sports, and 11 themed restaurants with cuisine from around the world. If you're seeking a beachy vacation that has all the comforts you’ll need while away from home, we’ll be happy to welcome you with open arms.

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!

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

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.

Beach Palace Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Lia being referred to me saved me so much wedding planning mental anguish! I had tried with a few other travel agents before I had two different people give me Lia's name, and with each of the previous TAs they had to look into things and call me back (I'm still waiting for those calls). Getting in touch with Lia was a whole new experience, she answered all my initial questions in that first phone call, had so many recommendations, and it was obvious she knew exactly what she was doing. By the time we hung up the first phone call, I had decided on a destination and venue (per Lia's suggestion). She was a God send! A year later, we are still having people talk about what a great trip it was and people are always amazed by what a great turn out we had. We ended up with about 60 people, all booking through Lia and everyone had a flawless experience. One even asked for her name when planning her destination wedding a few months later and was just as pleased! Lia told me a lot through the planning process that I was such a laid-back bride, but it really was because she left me nothing to worry about. She answered any question I had, was always quick to respond to calls and emails, and helped me plan the most perfect wedding ever. I wish I could re-live it all again!!
Cozumel Palace, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.
Throughout the process we felt completely at ease as she handled some of the most important details of planning for this special time. From her first recommendations of resorts and destinations to her help arranging travel for our closest family and friends we always felt grateful having Lia on our side. We highly recommend Lia Vincent and Palace Resorts for your destination wedding!
Le Blanc Spa Resort, Destination Wedding
I am truly so grateful for you and all of your help! Le Blanc was amazing! NOTHING could have been better, except maybe the weather, but the staff, food, and service were above and beyond! We will definitely go back there!! Love, Love, Love you for all of your help - Can NOT thank you enough!!
Beach Palace, Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Our Dream Wedding!
Lia was a phenomenal help from the beginning. She was referred to me by a friend, and I was incredibly thankful that we used her. When we started planning, we became overwhelmed with all of the information that is available.
We met with her for about 45 minutes one afternoon, took her pictures of spaces we had seen online and liked, and gave her a list of our "must-haves", a list of things that would be nice but didn't matter too much, and a list of things we absolutely did NOT want. She kind of thought about things for a minute, and then listed 3 resorts that fit every single one of our needs. She then ran sample pricing from EVERY location our guests would be traveling from so we could figure out what best fit our and our guests' travel budgets. After about a million more questions from me, we finally settled on her initial recommendation, the Beach Palace in Cancun. As we went through the process, any time I had a question, problem, or was just worried about something not being right, she was my go-to person. I'm not kidding, she would answer me in like, less than an hour 99% of the time. She even took my file home one weekend to give me more time to figure something out before she ran credit cards and got it booked. She was a Godsend!
Riu Palace, Riviera Maya, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.
Lia with Lia helped us plan our destination wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico. We had a total of 11 people and she helped each of them set up their arrangements. From the beginning she was so helpful and always quick to respond. She made the entire process a breeze. She communicated with the wedding coordinator at the Riu Palace and made sure everything was just like we wanted. We did not have any issues at all, thanks to Lia and all of her thorough planning. Each of our guests bragged on her and said how easy it was to work with her. I would recommend Lia for all of your planning needs whether it be just a short vacation or a destination wedding. She knows what she is doing and will make sure all of your questions are answered and that you have the best vacation.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband and I got married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico right off the beach. It was pure bliss, and everything I could have ever dreamed of! I may be biased, but destination weddings are certainly the way to go and thanks to our wonderful Travel Agent Lia Vincent at Vincent Vacations, we were able to find the perfect place! I had the opportunity to be able to edit the straight out of camera photos from my wedding! Here is a glimpse of our wedding day in paradise!

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

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