Best Places to Travel in October for a Dream Getaway

October travel feels just the way you imagine a cozy island getaway should—breezy beach days, easygoing hours, and a steady vacation rhythm. The magic of escaping to one of the best places to travel in October lies in its timing—it falls right in the heart of the low season for destinations like the Caribbean. The crowds are fewer, the deals are better, and the sun is still right on time.

You’re thinking about it—but not quite sure. What if it rains? Well... what if it does? Rain in the islands at an adults-only all-inclusive resort isn’t a vacation deal breaker. If anything, it just adds to the experience in ways you didn’t plan for. Think lazy mornings with a gentle passing shower, unexpected downtime that turns out to be exactly what you needed, and more time on property to enjoy all those details that made you book this Caribbean escape in the first place.

And don’t worry—those sun-soaked beach and pool days are still on the table. All you have to do is flow with the rhythm of your tropical escape.

Space to breathe, time to sway. October in the Caribbean is your ticket to tropical serenity. With fewer crowds and more elbow room, you’ll find better rates, quieter shores, and even more ways to ease into that island rhythm. It’s the perfect time to take things slow and feel the real Caribbean charm.


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.

Still warm, just cooler

The sun still shines in October, but you’ll feel those cooling breezes roll through — making it a dreamy time to explore. No scorching temps means more reason to venture into lush hills, hidden trails, and captivating spots. Chasing waterfalls? This month’s rain-kissed season makes them come alive in full flow.


Sunshine with a splash

Sure, October brings those occasional passing clouds — but rain showers, if any, are quick to pass. In their wake? Bright skies and glistening beaches. There’s still plenty of time to stretch out in the sun, dive into the sea, or catch a wave. And let’s talk festivals — October’s calendar is packed with local flavor, from Jamaica’s Heroes Day to the Bahamas’ Discovery Day. Foodies, you’ll want in on the rum and cuisine celebrations too.


Chill vibes, romantic tides

Whether you’re dreaming of a couples’ escape or craving a little “me time,” October hits the sweet spot. It’s a calming time across the islands, perfect for romantic strolls, spa indulgence, or soul-soothing solo stays. The slower pace? Pure bliss.

If you’re after postcard-worthy views without the crowds, October’s your moment. With vivid skies, golden sunsets, and blooming landscapes, everything just feels more vibrant. Fewer people around means more time — and space — to snap the shot, or just soak it all in.


The island, your way

At the end of the day, October is for travelers who want a little more peace, a little more privacy, and a whole lot more of the island to themselves. It’s an ideal time to slow

Top Caribbean Destinations to Visit in October

Anything worth doing is worth doing well. That’s why it’s worth taking a little time to think not just about when to jet off to the tropics, but where. Especially if you’re eyeing an October escape. Here are our top five island picks—each with its own special vibe.


Web-Version-SDR-Lifestyle-Playing-3


Barbados: Lively Oistins, tropical coastline, and twin Sandals resorts.

Just a quick 3.5-hour hop from Miami, Barbados is the island to skip off to when ocean views and breezy vibes are calling your name. October turns up the rhythm here—think swaying palms, fresh-off-the-boat seafood, and a coastline that just won’t quit.


Web-Version-SBR-Room-B1PP-Pool
Picture: Sandals Resorts in Barbados can be the ultimate October retreats.


Whether you want to have as many sun-drenched adventures as possible, or just chill with your favorite cocktail or a rum punch, this island has your vibe. And with two Sandals Resorts ready to welcome you home, your Barbados escape might be the most tempting one yet.


Saint Lucia: Lush peaks, hidden coves, and three Sandals to choose from.

Web-Version-SLU-Beach-Sunset-Bluff-2
Picture: Mesmerizing views are the order of the day at the all-inclusive Sandals Regency La Toc in Saint Lucia.


Saint Lucia’s got a rhythm of its own—mystery, beauty, and a vibe that flows straight from the Pitons to the sea. Come October, the island’s emerald peaks and deep-blue coves feel like they’re putting on a show just for you. From diving into coral kingdoms to soaking in the Sulphur Springs, or catching the glow of a sunset sail, there’s always a new beat to follow. And with three Sandals Resorts spread across this lush island, stepping into your Caribbean daydream is as easy as kicking off your shoes.


Antigua: One beach for every day of the year and Sandals Grande Antigua.

SAT-Lifestyle-Main-Pool-Couple-2
Picture: Time seems to slow down the moment you step into pure relaxation at the all-inclusive Sandals Grande Antigua.


Radiant beaches steal the spotlight on the Caribbean island of Antigua. Here, beach days feel less like a choice and more like a sunny little obligation. With more stretches of sand than almost any other island in the Caribbean, Antigua shines especially bright in October. Tranquility flows through every breeze, and there’s always room for a little adventure. And when you stay at Sandals Grande Antigua, your island escape unfolds with good vibes, great flavors (11 restaurants, from Pan-Caribbean to sushi), and not a worry in sight.


Grenada: The “Spice Island” with waterfalls, chocolate, and laid-back luxury.

Web-Version-SLS-Room-M1P-Plunge-Pool
Picture: From private plunge pools to open sea views—everything at Sandals Grenada invites you to stay awhile.


Spice Isle Grenada will win you over every time—whether it’s the warm scent of nutmeg in the air, rich island-made chocolate, or the sway of those hidden waterfalls. Whatever you’re chasing in your Caribbean daydream, this island brings it to life in October. And with your sights set on rejuvenation at the all-inclusive Sandals Grenada, this might just be the most rewarding kind of escape—easygoing, flavor-filled (10 restaurants and six bars), and full of that laid-back island glow.


Curaçao: Sunny skies, colorful streets, and Dutch-Caribbean charm

SCR-Lifestyle-Woman-Yellow-Towel-3
Picture: In Curaçao, colors run bolder, sunsets linger longer, and Sandals Royal Curaçao invites you to slow the rhythm.


October brings a calm, sunny rhythm to Curaçao—low season for crowds, high season for good vibes. With warm, dry days and that laid-back island energy, it’s the perfect time to wander the pastel streets of Willemstad, dive into the crystal waters at Playa Kenepa, or catch the breeze along the coast at Playa Lagun. Cas Abao Beach is always a favorite, too. And if you’re feeling a little more adventurous, the Catamaran Snorkel Cruise to Klein Curaçao with Island Routes is one of those excursions you won’t want to miss.


Bonus: Turks & Caicos: Azure waters, soft sands, and island ease

October in Turks & Caicos brings a kind of vacation joy you might never see coming. Not in your vacation plans, and not in those lively travel conversations either. It is something completely new, and completely real. Warm sunshine, calm seas, and moments of clarity that feel rare in everyday life are here for the taking. In the islands, those moments are best spent with the ones you love.

At the all-inclusive Beaches Turks & Caicos, the beach is always within view, and so is the next water sport. It is not an adults-only escape, but it is the perfect place to wander off together when everyone needs a moment to simply be. No wonder it's one of the best October vacation destinations in the Caribbean.



Events & Festivals Not to Miss

There’s plenty happening across the Caribbean in October and beyond. First, let’s take a look at the big picture—then we’ll dive into the top events and experiences you won’t want to miss this October.


Crop Over festivities in Barbados

Barbados carnival


Crop Over is one of those Caribbean festivals that really gets people talking. It’s carnival, but with a unique twist that’s truly fascinating. This island celebration is deeply rooted in Barbados’ sugar cane heritage. Traditionally, Crop Over marks the end of the sugar cane harvest—a time to come together and celebrate.

Unlike the pre-Lenten carnivals held elsewhere in the Caribbean, Crop Over stands apart in its timing and meaning. Still, much like carnival, it honors the past while celebrating the present through music, events, costumes, and lively revelry, all building up to a spectacular grand street parade. Though Crop Over does not happen in October, it’s one of the unique Caribbean events worth checking out if you visit Barbados in the summertime.


Independence festivities in Saint Lucia

Another Caribbean observance that takes us beyond October is Saint Lucia’s Independence Day on February 22. This event continues to grow, highlighting the patriotism and history of the island famously known as the “Helen of the West.” Around this time, celebrations spring up all over Saint Lucia. If you visit during this period, you’re likely to find food and music festivals, parades, and plenty of lively events as the island comes together to celebrate all that has shaped it into what it is today.


Local music, food fests, and October island fun

In October, the Caribbean comes alive with local music, food festivals, and plenty of island fun. From food and rhythm-filled events in islands like Barbados and Jamaica to culturally rooted celebrations like Jounen Kwéyòl in Saint Lucia, there’s something for every vibe. Here are a few you can catch while soaking up the sun in the islands:

Jamaica

In Jamaica, check out the Port Royal Pirates Festival (October 30–November 2, Kingston)—a family-friendly celebration of Port Royal’s pirate past with costumes, décor, interactive activities, and local eats. It’s a lively way to dive into the island’s rich history. Over in Negril, the Gains & Planes Festival (October 30–November 2, 2025) brings together fitness and fun with beach workouts, dancehall cardio, and themed nightlife parties—a unique blend of health and island rhythm.

If you visit Jamaica in October, you’ll also have the chance to join in the island’s Heroes Day celebrations, held every year on the third Monday of the month. This national holiday honors seven remarkable Jamaicans who shaped the country’s journey to freedom and justice — Alexander Bustamante, Nanny of the Maroons, Marcus Garvey, Paul Bogle, Samuel Sharpe, George William Gordon, and Norman Manley. The day comes alive with flag-raising ceremonies, parades, live music, sports, art exhibits, and the presentation of national awards to today’s heroes who uplift their communities.


Saint Vincent + Saint Lucia

Web-Version-SSV-Destination-Kingstown-Market-Local-Fruits


Saint Vincent is yet another top pick when it comes to October vacations. On this island, October is Heritage Month, a celebration of culture through music, food festivals, and traditional entertainment.

In Saint Lucia, Creole Heritage Month is also observed in October. During this month, you can attend Creole Day (Jounen Kwéyòl) celebrations, a vibrant island-wide tribute to local food, music, and lifestyle.


Barbados

When it comes to local festivals and events in October, there’s plenty happening in Barbados. One of the standout highlights is the Barbados Food and Rum Festival. This month-long, island-wide celebration features tastings, culinary events, and live music—all honoring Barbados’s rich food and rum culture.

Turks & Caicos + The Bahamas

Web-Version-Bahamian-Rush-22


If you decide to visit The Bahamas in October, swing by the Bahamas Carnival Village. As part of the cultural festivities, you can enjoy island eats, local rhythms, and good vibes that roll right into fall. You can also join the celebration of National Heroes Day on the second Monday of the month. It’s not a public holiday, but it’s a heartfelt one—marked by official tributes, a speech from the Prime Minister, and shout-outs to standout Bahamians in everything from education to the arts.

Over in Providenciales, Turks & Caicos, Thursday nights in October and throughout the year are all about the Island Fish Fry—fresh catch, live music, and chill vibes under the stars.

Why October is Just Right For An All-Inclusive Escape

Taking a closer look at the ‘why’ behind all-inclusive vacations in October, there’s a lot to love. For starters, October sits near the end of the rainy season, which also overlaps with the Caribbean’s low travel season—typically June through November. That can mean the occasional passing shower, but in all the ways that count, you’ll still enjoy a laid-back, all-inclusive escape—often at a better price.

This time of year brings some of the best vacation and flight deals around—but you’ve got to keep an eye out. Book early and you might just lock in those sweet seasonal rates that turn a beachfront suite from maybe to must. And with fewer crowds, you’ll feel the difference in more attentive service and extra room to roam on the beach.


Web-Version-SSV-Destination-Tobago-Cays-Beach-Couple


October is made for easygoing island getaways that put you first. And with all the savings, there’s even more reason to treat yourself to a sunset dinner, a spa day, or that tour you’ve been dreaming about.



Tips for Planning Your October Island Escape

What to pack (and what to leave)

What you’ll pack for your island getaway in October—or any time of year—depends on how long you’re staying. If you’re anything like us, swimwear will be top of mind! But let’s be real—you’ll need more than swimsuits and a few cover-ups to cruise through your vacation in comfort.


Web-Version-SDR-Lifestyle-Scotchies-5


Think light, airy, and easy to wear. Flowy pieces, tropical prints, and whatever the well-rested, island-loving version of you would pick. Just remember—vacation you and packing you don’t always think the same, so throw in a few extras for those mood shifts (and for evenings when it dips into Caribbean-chilly territory). No need for a jacket, but a scarf or shawl will come in handy.

Pack shorts, flip flops, a few tees or casual dresses, and at least a couple semi-formal outfits (plus one or two pairs of dressier shoes) for those resort restaurants with an elevated dress code. We’ve got more details on what to bring in our Caribbean travel checklist.


Good to know: In addition to the items listed, you might also want to pack sun protection gear like hats and reef-safe sunscreen. Include a light rain jacket or umbrella for occasional showers. If you’ve got excursions planned, bug repellent is recommended.



Best time to book flights and stays

Web-Version-SDR-Lifestyle-Beach-Group-Playing-Water


When it comes to adults-only all-inclusive vacations in October, the best time to book flights and stays is ideally 2 to 4 months in advance. This gives you the best chance of securing the sort of deals that tend to come with low or shoulder season months like October. What this looks like is setting your vacation dates in stone by at least June or latest August, to ensure you lock in the best prices. Once you have the dates in mind, you’ll be able to secure your flight and accommodation bookings, and then it will be full speed ahead to your island escape!


Travel insurance + flexible planning ideas

Travel insurance can be a good fallback when traveling to foreign destinations, no matter where they are. Some travel seasons make this even more important—just in case you need to shuffle your vacation dates or change flights because of weather-related events, cancellations, or other interruptions. Securing travel insurance helps make sure you’re not at a loss if anything changes.

It’s helpful to look for policies that offer flexibility when it comes to rebooking or canceling without big penalties. This is becoming more common, with travel providers and resorts now offering more flexible booking options, including free date changes or refunds within a certain timeframe ahead of your trip. Booking refundable flights is always a good idea, and looking for packages with flexible cancellation policies adds extra peace of mind.


SDR-Lifestyle-Beach-Group-Sitting-Chairs


As October is within the wet season for the Caribbean, purchasing comprehensive travel insurance is highly recommended. That way, you can book your trip and still feel carefree, no matter what.


Good to know: When traveling during the low or shoulder season in the Caribbean, it’s smart to keep an eye on weather forecasts, especially as your trip approaches. Have backup plans ready—like indoor activities or alternate destinations nearby—just in case plans need to change.

October’s a sweet spot for Caribbean travel—fewer crowds, great weather, and that relaxed island rhythm in full effect. Here’s what to keep in mind before you go:


• Book early, travel easy: Secure flights and resort stays ahead of time for better rates and room choices.

• When traveling to the island, stay hydrated and use sun protection to avoid heat-related issues.

• Be aware of any travel advisories related to health or weather.

• If you have allergies or sensitivities, pack necessary medications as pharmacies may be limited in remote areas.

• Go all in: All-inclusive, adults-only resorts make for stress-free getaways, with everything tailored for grown-up relaxation.

• Plan smart: Always check cancellation policies and think about adding travel insurance, just in case the tides turn.



Best Places to Travel in October

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. I could not have asked for a better right hand woman! 10 out of 10 for Steph, we could not appreciate & trust her more!

Leah and Kell Flynn - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Royalton Blue Waters, Montego Bay, Jamaica, Destination Wedding

My husband and I worked with the company's owner, Lia Vincent, and office manager, Linze.

Lia & Linze were both very warm and friendly, and from day one, we could tell cared about us as a couple and our destination wedding success, rather than just seeing us as more clients. I get stressed out easily, so planning my own wedding alone was overwhelming, even though my wedding was 10 months out. I ended up working with Linze, and we pushed up the wedding date with a little less than three months to prepare. I was initially nervous about using a travel agent / wedding planner, but it turned out to be a huge blessing, because it took away a lot of the stress and worry I was experiencing. A bride has so many things to worry about, so having someone else bear the brunt of the work and worry about the nitty-gritty details was a HUGE relief for me.

Why spend hours analyzing vendors and reading reviews, when you can have a pro do it? If you want an intimate wedding, if you want to elope, or if you want a huge all-out, go-into-debt-for-years wedding, and if you're in the market for a wedding travel agent, Lia and Linze should be at the top of your list!

The day of the wedding, everything was so beautiful, and so much better than I could have done on my own. Lia's company finds the best local vendors, so you know you'll get great value in your package, and what's nice is her company offers different packages for different budgets. We worked with and met AMAZING vendors! The reception was so elegant that as soon as I entered the reception, I felt amazement, joy, and relief because being the worrywart and control freak that I sometimes can be, it was hard for me to trust someone to somehow make everything perfect. Lia was able to give us the dream wedding we couldn't have done ourselves. Our family and friends were also amazed, and repeatedly told us how great the wedding, reception, and food were at the resort.

Puerto Vallarta wedding travel agent
Darby Brown - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Destination Wedding

I used Stephanie Tindall to help me choose the perfect resort in PV Mexico for where my guests would stay for my destination wedding. She went round and round with me helping me find the perfect location. It had to be nice, trendy, not to outrageously expensive and within a certain mile radius of a marina where my guests needed to go for the wedding. She helped everyone get booked and when things became a little hectic as tracking sometimes can get. She took care of the details. One of my guests had passport issues and she helped talk them through what to do. It was such a relief to have a point of contact for travel related issues so I didn't have to be stressed about it. She did this all with a patient, positive? upbeat and kind attitude through the entire process. I highly recommend her.
Thank you again, Darby Brown

Juliet D. - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
UNICO, Riviera Maya, Mexico Destination Wedding

Unico was wonderful and the perfect place for our wedding! It was quiet and the ceremony was better than expected. We had it on the gazebo and it was away from everything, which was great. The photography was beyond our expectations. We have not received our video yet, but assume it will be just as great. I also used the in house vendor for make up and hair, and was not disappointed. The wedding coordinator, Nazareth, was so sweet and on point. We used the local host quite a bit with WhatsApp, which was quite convenient. Food and drinks were amazing. We were disappointed that 2087 restaurant was down for half of our stay for repairs. We ate at Mi Carisa on our wedding night, which was the perfect choice. Service was also best there. We scheduled 2 tours through the hotel, a sunset cruise and Chichen Itza express. The boat tour was nice. Chichen itza tour was too fast and ok. We really appreciate your recommendations and help booking our wedding and stay. It was wonderful! Thank you again, Juliet and Jason

SECRETS PLAYA MUJERES destination wedding review
Vivian and James Chevrier - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Secrets Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding

I have never used a travel agent before Lia. I have always been the "I can do everything cheaper by myself on the internet" type person; most of the time, it works great. When my husband and I decided to have a destination wedding, we were not sure about anything - number of guests, length of stay, etc; we also have very demanding jobs, requiring constant travels up until the week before our wedding. So we thought that a travel agent may be a lifesaver; as it turned out, she was. Lia was endorsed as an expert in destination weddings on the American Express Travel website. Although she lived over a 1,000 miles away, I felt comfortable.

As I am not a "girly" person, wedding planning was not my thing; however, party planning and event coordination are. Lia and I treated this "event" like a business and I loved that about her; I needed someone to be truthful and provide honest advice. As it is with my job, I like corresponding via emails because I can have all the information on hand and in writing at all time; Lia always accommodated that, and always very promptly. I'm not talking about several emails over a few months; I'm talking about over the course of over a year. Lia was there to provide support when I had a hard time reach the wedding coordinator; she was there when I freaked out at the resort regarding my brother's return transportation (as it turned out, my brother spoke with the wrong transportation company); she was organized to be able to provide me with spreadsheet of all guest arrival information; she always submitted my requests to Classic Vacation and the resort promptly. James and I cannot thank Lia enough to make everything go smoothly for the biggest event of our lives. All 48 of us had such a great time that we absolutely see another group vacation in the future.

Jenni Johnson - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Beach Palace Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding

Lia being referred to me saved me so much wedding planning mental anguish! I had tried with a few other travel agents before I had two different people give me Lia's name, and with each of the previous TAs they had to look into things and call me back (I'm still waiting for those calls). Getting in touch with Lia was a whole new experience, she answered all my initial questions in that first phone call, had so many recommendations, and it was obvious she knew exactly what she was doing. By the time we hung up the first phone call, I had decided on a destination and venue (per Lia's suggestion). She was a God send! A year later, we are still having people talk about what a great trip it was and people are always amazed by what a great turn out we had. We ended up with about 60 people, all booking through Lia and everyone had a flawless experience. One even asked for her name when planning her destination wedding a few months later and was just as pleased! Lia told me a lot through the planning process that I was such a laid-back bride, but it really was because she left me nothing to worry about. She answered any question I had, was always quick to respond to calls and emails, and helped me plan the most perfect wedding ever. I wish I could re-live it all again!!

Sara Thompson - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Cozumel Palace, Mexico, Destination Wedding

My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.

Throughout the process we felt completely at ease as she handled some of the most important details of planning for this special time. From her first recommendations of resorts and destinations to her help arranging travel for our closest family and friends we always felt grateful having Lia on our side. We highly recommend Lia Vincent and Palace Resorts for your destination wedding!

I am truly so grateful for you and all of your help! Le Blanc was amazing! NOTHING could have been better, except maybe the weather, but the staff, food, and service were above and beyond! We will definitely go back there!! Love, Love, Love you for all of your help - Can NOT thank you enough!!

Saundra Ogden - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Beach Palace, Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding

Our Dream Wedding!

Lia was a phenomenal help from the beginning. She was referred to me by a friend, and I was incredibly thankful that we used her. When we started planning, we became overwhelmed with all of the information that is available.

We met with her for about 45 minutes one afternoon, took her pictures of spaces we had seen online and liked, and gave her a list of our "must-haves", a list of things that would be nice but didn't matter too much, and a list of things we absolutely did NOT want. She kind of thought about things for a minute, and then listed 3 resorts that fit every single one of our needs. She then ran sample pricing from EVERY location our guests would be traveling from so we could figure out what best fit our and our guests' travel budgets. After about a million more questions from me, we finally settled on her initial recommendation, the Beach Palace in Cancun. As we went through the process, any time I had a question, problem, or was just worried about something not being right, she was my go-to person. I'm not kidding, she would answer me in like, less than an hour 99% of the time. She even took my file home one weekend to give me more time to figure something out before she ran credit cards and got it booked. She was a Godsend!

Casey Morris - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Riu Palace, Riviera Maya, Mexico, Destination Wedding

My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.

Lia with Lia helped us plan our destination wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico. We had a total of 11 people and she helped each of them set up their arrangements. From the beginning she was so helpful and always quick to respond. She made the entire process a breeze. She communicated with the wedding coordinator at the Riu Palace and made sure everything was just like we wanted. We did not have any issues at all, thanks to Lia and all of her thorough planning. Each of our guests bragged on her and said how easy it was to work with her. I would recommend Lia for all of your planning needs whether it be just a short vacation or a destination wedding. She knows what she is doing and will make sure all of your questions are answered and that you have the best vacation.

Mindy Huffman - All Inclusive Beach Wedding

My husband and I got married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico right off the beach. It was pure bliss, and everything I could have ever dreamed of! I may be biased, but destination weddings are certainly the way to go and thanks to our wonderful Travel Agent Lia Vincent at Vincent Vacations, we were able to find the perfect place! I had the opportunity to be able to edit the straight out of camera photos from my wedding! Here is a glimpse of our wedding day in paradise!

"It was beautiful! Everybody had a fantastic time!"

The staff was wonderful, the rooms were gorgeous, and the food was AMAZING! Our wedding could not have been more perfect and if you have any brides that want a beautiful wedding on a budget, The Excellence Punta Cana would be my number one recommendation. Emy and Livia were fantastic and everything was just PERFECT! Chris couldn't even believe how wonderful it was.

Thank you again for all of your help!!!

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
