WHAT ABOUT AIRFARE & VIP AIRPORT ARRIVAL?
Airfare is NOT included, but don't worry, we've got a plan. Book your room ASAP to secure your spot in the room block. For airfare, you've got total freedom! Wait until they become available (about 330 days in advance with major carriers) and personalize your carrier, flight times, pricing, use points/miles, or credits - the choice is yours!   

View our tips & Tricks to booking airfare HERE.

The closest airport is Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ). Transportation is only included from this airport. Secrets Cap Cana is approximately 20 minutes from of the airport.  Included transportation is "private group" non-stop transportation, which is a shuttle that is designated for ONLY guests of the wedding directly to the resort. An upgrade to a "private party" (your immediate party only) non-stop deluxe vehicle is available upon request, see booking form for details.

If booking airfare on your own, please submit your detailed flight information no later than June 10, 2024. This is how we schedule your transportation pick up in your destination. Guests who do not submit their air information by the deadline will forfeit their included transfers.

If you would like assistance with air, we are happy to help! There is a $75/person ticketing fee included in all of our air quotes. Just make sure to not of it on your reservation form and include your desired departure airport.  

VIP AIRPORT ARRIVAL
We've got a fantastic optional service to elevate your travel experience from PUJ airport! Picture this - you'll be met at your plane by a personal escort who will whisk you through immigrations like a VIP. Then, it's off to a private lounge, where you can kick back, relax, and enjoy a refreshing beverage while your immigrations and baggage collection are expertly taken care of.  You will then be escorted to your group transportation avoiding the cluster of transportation companies vying for your attention ensuring you get to your correct vehicle.

This service is a game-changer for all travelers, especially if it's your first time in Punta Cana. Trust us, it's a must-have for an unforgettable start to your journey. Check out the booking form for all the juicy details!
IS THERE A PAYMENT PLAN?
Yes! Initial deposits are due on October 2, 2023
There are no set requirements for payments, as long as final payments are made by the deadline. Final payments are due on April 1, 2024.
DO I NEED A PASSPORT?
Yes, everyone, including children and infants, MUST have a VALID passport book to travel internationally (not Passport Card). Failure to comply will result in denial of boarding, no refund, no exceptions (out of the USA). United Travel LLC is NOT responsible for passports in ANY way. Passports are required to be valid for 6 months from your return date - must be valid until March 14, 2025. PASSPORT CARDS ARE NOT VALID FOR TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY VIA AIR!

​!!IMPORTANT!!
If you have any issues (i.e. legal convictions, arrests, warrants, child support issues, or other extenuating circumstances) that would prevent you from traveling outside of the US, it is YOUR responsibility to verify your ability to obtain a US passport and to travel outside of the US. United Travel, LLC will not be responsible for any denied boarding or entry/reentry into any country due to legal matters. Travel insurance often does NOT cover denied boarding or entry due to legal issues. Please consult your policies for details.

Your passport must also be in pristine condition -- that means to rips, tears, distress, etc plus needs 2+ blank pages.

PASSPORT PROCESSING TIME is extremely delayed right now, check this site for details and *do not* wait until the last  minute!

IS COVID TESTING REQUIRED FOR TRAVEL?
COVID & vaccine requirements have been lifted for both Dominican Republic & the United States.  You do NOT need a COVID test or to be vaccinated to travel to and from the Dominican Republic from the USA.
IS TRAVEL INSURANCE REQUIRED?
We've got some valuable advice for you - while travel insurance is always optional, we can't stress enough how HIGHLY RECOMMENDED it is for your peace of mind.

Here's the scoop - many vacation packages and all-inclusive resort stays are non-refundable, making trip protection a crucial component of your journey. Trust us, it's worth every penny.

Now, we've got some good news - the cost of insurance is tailored to you! Factors like age, state of residency, and the total trip cost are taken into account. You'll receive a personalized quote with the "Cancel for Any Reason" option right when you book - easy peasy!

And here's an important heads up - most likely, your US health insurance won't cover you outside the United States. No worries, though, we've got you covered! Check out the FAQ below for all the juicy details.

Get ready to be protected from the unexpected and enjoy a worry-free journey. Review the coverage at the link below, and let's make this adventure unforgettable!

CAN WE EXTEND OUR STAY?
Of course you can!   We have rooms and special rates reserved specifically for the week of September 7 - 14, 2024.  Please include your requested dates in your reservation form and any dates outside of this timeframe we will confirm availability and rates as they may differ from group rates quoted here! 
WHAT IF I'M SHARING A ROOM WITH ANOTHER INVITED GUEST?
Coordination is key, so we kindly ask that you and your roommate team up and have just one person from your party fill out the reservation form. Remember, it's one form per room, not per person - easy peasy!

Once we receive your form, we'll send an email to both of you, explaining the next exciting steps in this journey.

Now, if you and your roommate reside at different addresses, fret not! Just include your roommate's contact info in the notes field, and we'll make sure everything is in perfect harmony.

Here's something to keep in mind: if your roommate needs to cancel their reservation, don't worry - we've got your back! The room will be subject to an increased single occupancy room rate for the remaining traveler, but we'll work our magic to ensure a smooth experience for you.
WHAT'S A ROOM BLOCK?
The couple you're celebrating with has already paid a deposit to pre-reserve rooms, ensuring exclusive rates and availability just for you.

Here's the inside scoop on how it all works:
  • The couple is all in, and they've signed a rock-solid contract with the resort.  They've even committed to securing a minimum number of rooms, just to make sure everything goes smoothly for the group.
  • Now, here's the important part: for the contract to come to life, all rooms must be booked through United Travel LLC.  We're like the magic link that makes it all happen!
  • The resort has a 3-night minimum stay requirement, but here's the fun part - you're welcome to extend your stay and soak up the sun even longer! How amazing is that?
  • And guess what? We've already reserved the crème de la crème of room types just for you. Luxurious options await, and we've got detailed descriptions coming your way in our Room & Pricing section below.

Get ready for an adventure filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Let's make this celebration epic together!
WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T BOOK WITH UNITED TRAVEL LLC?
The couple you're celebrating with has gone above and beyond to secure a fantastic deal for the entire group! But here's the deal - to make the most of it, we kindly ask you to book your hotel room within our designated group contract here with United Travel LLC.

Here's why it's a win-win situation:
  • The couple worked closely with us to negotiate a fantastic contract for the ENTIRE group. That means you get a special locked-in rate and even enjoy non-stop private group transportation. How cool is that?
  • Booking within the group means you'll get VIP treatment! Groups are given priority status at the resort, giving you the best of the best during your stay.
  • Room assignments? No worries - we've got your back! Booking within the group ensures you get priority room assignments, with better chances of avoiding any undesirable locations far away from your loved ones.

Now, for guests who book outside the group room block, here's the scoop:
  • Unfortunately, you won't get those amazing group rates and perks.
  • Pre-departure and post-trip support? We've got it covered for the group, but not for individual bookings outside the block.
  • In the event of an emergency, we won't be able to assist with travel arrangements made outside the group. Safety first, right?

Oh, and one more thing - if the hotel happens to oversell, you're protected if you booked within the group. No worries there, but individual reservations are a different story. You could end up getting walked to another location. Yikes!

We want the best for you, and that includes keeping everyone together at the resort for a memorable experience. If you do happen to find a cheaper "deal" outside of United Travel LLC, talk to us! We're here to help and are more than willing to price match when we can.

So, let's make this celebration an unforgettable journey for all. Trust us, booking within the group is the way to go!
