Welcome to Hailey + Jake’s Destination Wedding Website!

We are Jess + Jayme of Here and Away Travel, the travel agents working with Hailey + Jake on their Destination Wedding to Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic on June 13th, 2026.

This website has a lot of information about the room block, resort, rates, how to book, passports, travel insurance, flights, etc. Please go through all of the information, and we are here to answer any questions you may have.

The Resort

Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana

Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana, is an all-inclusive resort exclusively for adults, set in the beautiful gated community of Cap Cana. Located on the sought-after shores of Juanillo Beach in the Dominican Republic, Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana is a tropical paradise where guests can indulge in all-inclusive luxury surrounded by local culture, magnificent ocean views and incredible amenities.

Our resort offers infinity pools with swim-up bars, 25 unique restaurants and bars, a world-class fitness center and so much more. Luxurious inclusions and welcoming staff ensure a vacation at Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana will exceed guests’ expectations in every way imaginable.


Getting There

FLIGHTS

You will fly into Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), and flights for June of 2026 are now beginning to be released by the airlines.

While the room does have to be booked through the travel agents, you are more than welcome to book flights on your own and any use points, miles, etc., that you might have.

Please also note that your plane ticket must match the name on your passport EXACTLY.

Our travel agents, Jess & Jayme, are here to answer any questions regarding flights.

PASSPORTS

Blue Passports BOOKS are REQUIRED for travel to the Dominican Republic. If you attempt to use a passport card or any other combination of IDs for international air travel, you will be denied entry into the Dominican Republic.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IN ORDER TO TRAVEL TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, YOUR PASSPORT MUST BE VALID FOR A MINIMUM OF 6 MONTHS FROM YOUR RETURN TRAVEL DATE. IF IT EXPIRES BEFORE THEN, YOU WILL HAVE TO RENEW.

If your passport needs to be renewed, or if you will be getting your passport for the first time, it would be best to start that process ASAP so that if you encounter any issues you have plenty of time to sort them out.

First time and renewal applicants can find the mail in forms needed at this link: 

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-apply/forms.html

 

You can also now renew your passport online without mailing anything in. This is ONLY for renewals and if you meet the qualifications. Please note for online renewal, they ONLY offer regular service speed, you cannot choose expedited service:

If you have any questions regarding passports, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Jess & Jayme!


The Room Block

Hailey + Jake have secured a room block for their guests at Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana. Your $300 deposit will be considered your “Yes” RSVP!

There is a 3 night minimum for all wedding groups stays at Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana, and please note that this resort requires that all guests attending the wedding stay on property and book into the couple’s room block.

Guests who book outside of the room block will be charged an additional $300 PER PERSON by the resort to attend the wedding events. Please note that this is a resort-imposed fee and they will enforce it.

When we use the term “Room Block,” we are referring to a group of rooms that are being held for a group with a certain locked in rate.

Booking within the group also protects you from an oversold resort situation - it does happen just like it happens on airlines - they sell extra rooms in order to account for anticipated cancellations, but sometimes this can result in guests being moved to another hotel. Booking into the group protects you from that happening in this situation. Please also note that booking into the room block comes with our agency services at no additional cost to you. We are here for pre-travel support as well as in travel support and assistance and/or guidance in case of any kind of travel emergency. If you choose to book outside the block and not through Here and Away Travel, we are unable to assist with any aspect of your travel, during-travel support, or travel emergencies.

What a room block is not:

A room block is not a PHYSICAL block of space being held all together for a group. With people checking in and out at different times, booking into different rooms categories (some of which are only in certain buildings), etc., it would be impossible for the resort to put everyone in every group in the same buildings. We can request for your room to be near another room, but please note that these are requests only and cannot be guaranteed. If you need to guarantee being near another room, we suggest booking a suite with those guests.

Follow the link below to see pricing and information on the room options that Hailey + Jake are holding in their room block.

Room Details + Pricing

HOW TO BOOK

Hailey + Jake have organized a room block for all of their wedding guests. In order to be considered a part of the wedding group, you must book your rooms using our room reservation form. Those who book sooner will have a greater selection of rooms!

Final payments are due on or before February 23, 2026.

Initial deposits are $300 and non refundable without the purchase of insurance.

The cost of insurance is always non-refundable.

The full reservation becomes non refundable after December 29th, 2025 without the purchase of insurance. 

Flight details must be shared no later than 60 days prior to your travel date. 

STEP ONE: To reserve your room, please fill out the following form to get started!

Please note that only one person from each room should fill out the form, but you will need all guests’ information to proceed.

Booking Process:

The deposit is $300 for the room, plus the cost of insurance if you opt to add travel insurance to your reservation. Final payments are due on or before February 23, 2026.

You will fill out the room reservation form, and then we will send you an invoice that you will approve to make sure everything is correct for your stay.

Once we receive that, we will make your deposit. Nothing will be charged to your card until you sign the invoice approval.

Any time you would like to make a payment, you will just request a link from the travel agents that will be sent over and you can make the payment for any amount you would like.

AIRPORT TRANSFERS

Round Trip Airport - Hotel Transfers (From PUJ to Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana)

When filling out the reservation form, please add in your transportation:

Group shared r/t $80 per room for up to 4 pax on the exact same flights

Flight details must be submitted 60 days prior to travel.

It is very important to pre-arrange transportation to and from the hotel. Taxi services at the airport are expensive, unreliable, and inconvenient to have to deal with after a flight.

INSURANCE + CANCELLATIONS

ALL RESERVATIONS IN THE GROUP ARE FULLY NON-REFUNDABLE AFTER DECEMBER 29TH, 2025 WITHOUT INSURANCE.

Here and Away Travel STRONGLY recommends that you purchase travel insurance, especially when traveling internationally.

We highly recommend travel insurance not only to protect the investment on your trip (many deposits and payments with group blocks are non-refundable if you do not), but also to protect you if something unexpected happens and you need medical attention or have to go to the hospital in the Dominican Republic. Most US insurance companies don't cover anything that happens outside of the USA, which can leave you with HUGE bills that would not be reimbursed unless you have medical coverage for your trip. (Also please note, the hospitals in the DR will not allow you to leave until ALL bills have been paid.) Please note that Here and Away Travel cannot help you recoup any financial losses that arise in the case that you do not purchase travel insurance.

CANCELLATIONS:

We know that most things that come up that would cause you to have to cancel your trip are unexpected and that most people think they will never use their travel insurance. The fact is, most won’t have to use it and we hope you never do. But travel insurance isn’t for those “most times.” It’s for the times that something unexpected comes up before or during travel - illnesses, last minute work obligations, sudden financial stresses, injuries during travel, etc. The last thing we want is for something incredibly stressful to be going on and then on top of it, you are out thousands of dollars in travel costs or medical expenses because you did not purchase insurance. Please note that not refunding costs after the date of December 29th, 2025 is not our policy, it is the resort’s group policy and they do not budge.

PLEASE we beg you to consider travel insurance so that you are financially protected in all scenarios.
