Important Info & FAQ

room deposit required by 9/4/24

1. Do I need a passport?

Yes, a passport book is required for international travel by air; a passport card is not accepted for international air travel.

Please take a moment to locate each traveler's passport at this time to double check that the expiration date is at least six months after the date you return home from your vacation. Some airlines enforce this six month validity rule even when the country you're visiting doesn't, so it is recommended to follow this rule to prevent any potential issues.

Your passport can not be damaged in any way. If there is the appearance of damage, you could be denied boarding on your flight. Here is the link to the U.S. Department of State's passport FAQ for more info: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/passport-help/faqs.html

2. How do I book my room?

The wedding couple has paid a deposit to pre-reserve rooms at a locked in rate for their guests for travel Wednesday 2/5/25 through Wednesday 2/12/25 (7 nights). You can choose to stay for fewer nights (minimum three-night stay required) or add additional nights, based on availability.

For alternate lengths of stay and/or additional room types, please contact Jodi Schlichting with EverAfter Travel for pricing and availability details: jodi@everaftertravel.org

A $200 per person non-refundable deposit is required by 9/4/24 to book your room. It is good to book your room early to ensure you get the room type you want. Final payment is due by 9/4/24.

The first step to book your room is to complete the online reservation form. Once your form is submitted, Jodi will be following up with you directly regarding next steps for booking your room (only one reservation form needs to be submitted for each room).

3. When is the deadline to book my room?

The $200 per person non-refundable deposit to book your room is required by 9/4/24. It is good to book your room early to ensure you get the room type you want. Final payment is due by 9/4/24.

4. What happens if I don't book with EverAfter Travel?

The wedding couple has paid a deposit to pre-reserve rooms for their group. They have signed a group contract with the resort committing to a minimum number of rooms that allows them to offer additional benefits for their guests. Only rooms booked in the room block through EverAfter Travel count towards this contract.

There are several reasons why you should honor the couple's wishes and book your stay through the room block with EverAfter Travel:

The wedding couple has worked with EverAfter Travel to negotiate a contract for the group. This includes a special set rate and includes transportation.
Groups are given priority status at the resort, so you might miss out on some VIP treatment if you book separately.
Groups are given priority room assignments, so if you book directly, you're likely getting a room that couldn't be sold to a group. It will be leftover inventory, probably in an undesirable location away from everyone else.
Groups are given priority in terms of an oversold situation. If the resort over sells, your group is protected but an individual reservation is not and you could be "walked" or bumped to a different resort.

Guests who do not book within the group contract unfortunately:

Will not get the group rates.
Will have to pay up front versus over time.
Will not receive any pre-departure trip support from EverAfter Travel.
Unfortunately EverAfter Travel cannot assist with travel arrangements made outside of the group or assist in the event of an emergency.
May be required by the resort to pay an event fee and/or day pass to attend wedding events.

5. How are my flights booked?

Wedding guests typically book their own flights directly with their preferred airline. The closest airport to the Dreams Flora resort is the Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ).

6. How do I get from the airport to the resort and back?

Shared round-trip airport transfers are included in the room rates listed further below. Once you book your flights, you can click here to submit your flight details to EverAfter Travel which will be used for coordinating your transportation from the airport to the resort and back.

7. What are the cancellation policies?

Cancellation policies apply once booked.

-Initial $200 per person deposit is non-refundable and non-transferrable.

-The room and airport transfers become fully non-refundable as of 9/5/24.

-If individual room is canceled by 9/4/24, no penalty will be charged (initial $200 per person deposit remains non-refundable).

-If individual room is canceled 9/5/24 or later, there is a 100% room revenue penalty.

8. How do I purchase travel insurance?

Optional travel insurance is available and EverAfter Travel encourages travelers to consider purchasing insurance as it can not only cover things like trip delays/cancellations, but it can also provide medical coverage while you're traveling just in case something happens - this is very important because your own medical insurance typically does not include international coverage.

9. What are the COVID-19 protocols?

-Dominican Republic entry protocols https://www.godominicanrepublic.com/newsroom/coronavirus/

-Travelers are NOT required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test result for entry into the Dominican Republic at this time, however, taking a pre-travel test is recommended by EverAfter Travel. Airport officials may perform random rapid, breath COVID-19 tests for passengers upon arrival. Travelers who present a COVID-19 vaccination card will be exempt from random testing.

-You may need to wear a face covering on your flights, in the airports, and during your transportation to/from the resort.

-----Punta Cana airport www.puntacanainternationalairport.com

-Upon arrival in the Dominican Republic, they may perform a health screening at the airport including a temperature check. Guests may be asked to wear a face covering in designated indoor spaces like: the lobby, retail stores, elevators, and waiting areas of common facilities (e.g. spa, beauty salon, restaurants/bars, etc.). Guests are not typically required to wear face coverings at the beach, the pool, or in restaurants/bars when actively eating and/or drinking.

NOTE: Effective 6/12/22, the U.S. is no longer requiring travelers two years and older returning to the U.S. from an international destination via air to show proof of a negative antigen (or PCR) COVID-19 test taken within one day prior to their return flight to the U.S.
