You will fly into the Punta Cana airport in the Dominican Republic. The airport code is PUJ. 

We will need your flight information in order to book your flights. Please submit your flight information here.

Given changes in the airline industry and the global pandemic, we encourage you to book your flights directly with the airline. If you want to discuss your flights more or would like us to send you specific flight suggestions, please let me know.

Your reservation includes airport transfers but we cannot book your transfers without your flight details.

Make sure to book your flights for the same days as your hotel reservation. If you plan to extend your stay at a different resort, please let me know so I can book your transfers accordingly.

Here are some tips:

• Direct flights ensure more seamless and less stressful travel so consider booking a direct flight even if it is a little more expensive.
• If you do have to book a flight with a layover, please pay close attention to the layover times. Airlines are notorious for allowing short layovers with a very high likelihood of missing the connection. While no one wants to sit around the airport for hours, you also don’t want the headache of missing your layover because of a short connection. I suggest choosing a schedule that has at least 1.5 hours on the way to your destination. On your way home, I suggest at least 2 hours to give extra time to get through immigration.
• Pick an arriving flight as early in the day as you prefer so that you have more time at your destination.
• For your returning flight, the ground transportation company will often pick you up three to four hours before your flight time so pick as late a departing flight as your schedule allows
• Some airlines provide tickets that can be changed or canceled without a fee. This costs more upfront but can be helpful in these uncertain times.

Round-trip transportation from the airport is included in the package. Once you have cleared customs and collected your bags, please proceed outside to the shuttle area. Please do not stop inside the terminal and accept assistance from another party. The parties inside the airport are timeshare salespeople.

Your transfers are private transfers that will only be shared with other wedding guests. 

If you’re attending a destination wedding, chances are you’re booking several months in advance. While we’re sure you have every intention of making the trip, life can be unpredictable. The months before your travel date could bring a job change, illness, or other circumstances that could prevent you from traveling. Purchasing travel insurance is a smart investment that will protect you from financial loss.  

Cancellation Policy

• Before December 1, 2023: The original deposit is non-refundable

• December 1, 2023-March 1, 2024: 50% penalty for cancellations unless you have travel insurance.

• After March 1, 2024: 100% penalty for cancellations unless you have travel insurance.

• No-Show: 100% penalty regardless of travel insurance

Travel insurance will protect you from these cancellation fees if you need to cancel after your reservation is already in penalty.

Please note! Once the final payment due date has passed, penalties also apply to a reduction in nights, room category, or the number of people in your room.

I know that you may not be able to think of a reason that you would cancel your trip right now. It may be tempting to not include the cancellation insurance. Keep in mind that the cancellation policy above will not be waived for ANY reason unless you have this cancellation travel insurance. This includes if you get COVID or the flu right before the trip and cannot travel. 

How does the Cancellation coverage work? 

• The travel insurance would cover you with a “cancel for any reason” policy that would give you a refund for any non-refundable portions of your land reservation as long as you cancel at least 2 hours before departure. It does not include coverage for airfare.
• Price: $150 per adult. $100 per child.
• The cost of travel insurance is not refundable. 

The insurance also includes the following in-travel coverage. 

Still think you don't need insurance? Here are 14 reasons why you do!  These are all real reasons that wedding guests have had to cancel after the penalty period started. 

And because most medical insurance policies do not offer coverage outside the United States, we do not recommend traveling without insurance. Our trip insurance covers trip delay, trip cancellation, some medical coverage, lost luggage, and more. 

Please note that these are the policies that are in place as of September 2023. These rules could change between now and your departure date. Any updates will be posted here. The cancellation policy will not be waived if any of these policies change. 

Q. Is a COVID test required to enter the Dominican Republic?

A. No. 

Q. Am I required to take a test to return to the United States? 

A. Effective June 12, 2022, travelers to the US are no longer required to test the day before flying home. 

Q. Could the COVID travel rules change? 

A. Definitely. It is impossible to know if the testing rules will be reinstated. The DR never required travelers to be vaccinated, but that is technically a possibility. If that would be an issue, we strongly suggest that you get the cancellation insurance offered with your reservation. 

Q. What happens if there is a travel ban?

A. In the event of a travel ban, we would move the date of the wedding. We will make every effort to ensure that everyone in the group is able to keep the same room and number of nights at the current group rate. 

Q. Does the travel insurance cover us if we decide to cancel due to fear of COVID?

A. Yes. Our travel insurance is a ” cancel for any reason” policy. 

Q. If there is a travel ban, aren’t the hotels and airlines required to give us a full refund?

A. No, they are not required to offer a refund for anything that falls under force majeure such as government shutdowns, war, pandemics, or acts of God. We strongly encourage you to purchase trip insurance to protect yourself from a financial loss.

We offer a lot of great excursions in this destination! We recommend that you pre-book your excursions. By booking your excursions in advance you won’t have to worry about exchange rates, getting closed out of something that you really want to do, or getting stuck in a timeshare presentation when you thought you were going zip lining! Most of our excursions include transportation.

Q. What airport do we fly into? 

A. Punta Cana – PUJ

Q. Do we need a passport?

A. YES!

Q. What is included in the rate? 

A. The rate is all-inclusive which means lodging, food, and alcohol are included. The rate also includes roundtrip private airport transfers. 

Q. Do we have to stay at the resort? 

A. Yes. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to attend the wedding if you do not stay at the resort. 

Q. Do we have to book in the room block?

A. It is extremely helpful if everyone books in the room block.

Q. Why should we book our travel with Bliss Honeymoons?

A. Great question! By booking with Bliss Honeymoons your travel arrangements will be handled by an experienced agent who not only understands all the details of your travel arrangements but has been to this resort and/or destination. Booking with Bliss Honeymoons also means:

• You’ll get to take advantage of the great group rate.
• You will receive all the benefits of the group amenity package.
• You won’t have to worry about getting bumped to a different resort.
• We’ll be available to assist you both before and during your trip.
• You’ll get better trip insurance than what is available from an online site.
• You get to support a local business.
• You won’t pay more than booking with an online site.
• It is extremely helpful for Ellie & Kyle to have everyone book with their travel agent, Lindsay. This helps everything stay organized. 

Q. What is the dress code?

A. Beach Dressy. Think of something you would wear to a nice restaurant in the summer. It’s going to be hot, and we want you to be comfortable! Examples could include Hawaiian shirts and linen pants or shorts for men. Jackets or ties not necessary. For women, dresses, a jumpsuit or a dressy separate. Vibrant colors and bold prints are encouraged! 

Q. Are children allowed?

A. There will be no children allowed at any wedding events including the wedding ceremony and reception. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate them due to limited space. The resort is kid-friendly so you are more than welcome to bring them for the trip, but they will not be allowed at any wedding events. We hope you understand!

Q. Are plus ones allowed?

A. Plus ones are only allowed if specified on your invitation due to limited space.
