Do i need a passport?

Yes, all international travelers are required to have a passport, including infants and children. To learn more about the application process, please visit the U.S. Department of State website.

A passport BOOK is required - Passport Cards are not valid for air travel. If you already have a passport, please check the expiration date.

is travel insurance required?

is travel insurance required?

Because group reservations at all inclusive resorts are pre-paid and non-refundable, travel insurance is encouraged to protect your investment. Life is unpredictable; plans can change.

The cost of insurance is based on your age, your state of residency and the total cost of your trip. Due to this, travel insurance prices will be quoted for each individual guest.

Without insurance, there are no refunds should your plans change
Without insurance, you will also not have any medical coverage for mishaps or catastrophic events.
Your US health insurance will likely not work outside of the United States; please read the FAQ below for more detail.

is there a payment plan?

Yes! Initial deposits are due on October 14, 2026

There are no set requirements for payments, as long as final payments are made by the deadline. Final payments are due on  January 13, 2027

what about airfare?

what about airfare?

While the couple requests that you book your room with the group, you are welcome to book your own airfare. Due to contract deadlines, we recommend booking your hotel room as early as possible and adding air when you're ready.

If you book your own air, please forward your air confirmation email to me no later than February 24, 2027.. This is how we schedule your transportation pick up at your destination. Guests who do not submit their air information by the deadline will forfeit their included transfers.

The closest airport is Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ). Transportation is only included from this airport. The included transportation is a shared shuttle, but options to upgrade to a nonstop transfer are available. See booking form for details.

If you would like assistance with air, we are happy to help! There is a $75 ticketing fee included in all of our air quotes.

I am sharing a room with another invited guest. how does that work?

I am sharing a room with another invited guest. how does that work?

Yes! Please coordinate with your roommate and designate ONE person to fill out the reservation form.

Reservation forms should be one per ROOM, not one per person. When I get your form, I will email both of you and explain next steps.

If you and your roommate live at different addresses, please make sure to include the second passenger's contact info. This can go in the notes field.

can we come earlier or stay later?

can we come earlier or stay later?

Absolutely! ​If you would like to stay for dates before or after this date window, that is no problemo!

Please include your requested dates in your reservation form and I will confirm availability! Note: rates outside the room block dates may differ from our group rates quoted here.

what is a room block?

This means that the group has paid a deposit to pre-reserve rooms for your group.

  • The couple has signed a contract with the resort and has committed to a minimum number of rooms
  • Only rooms booked with Alpaca Your Bags Travel count toward this contract
  • The resort has a 3 night minimum stay requirement, but you are welcome to come earlier or stay later!
  • We have reserved several different room types for you to choose from. Descriptions follow this FAQ

what happens if i don't book with alpaca your bags?

what happens if i don't book with alpaca your bags?

The couple has paid a deposit to pre-reserve rooms for your group. They have a group contract that allows them to offer additional benefits for their guests.

Arijana & Chris kindly ask that you book your hotel within our designated group contract here at Alpaca Your Bags Travel.

There are several reasons why you should honor the group's wishes and book the hotel portion with the group:

  • The group has worked with me to negotiate a contract for the ENTIRE group. This includes a special set rate and included transportation.
  • Groups are given priority status at the resort, so you might miss out on some VIP treatment.
  • 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 a undesirable location away from everyone else.
  • Official groups are given priority if a resort is oversold.. If the hotel over sells, the official group bookings are protected but reservations made outside the group are not. You could be walked to another location.

Guests who do not book within the group contract unfortunately:

  • Will not get the group rates
  • Will have to pay up front vs. over time.
  • Will not receive any pre-departure, trip support or post-trip support from me.
  • Unfortunately I cannot assist with travel arrangements made outside of the group, nor can I assist in the event of an emergency.
  • Will be required to pay a day pass on property to attend wedding events. Note: Day pass sales are extremely limited due to covid occupancy restrictions.
