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.

Getting There
FLIGHTS
You will fly into Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), and flights for May of 2026 are now able to be booked.
While the room does have to be booked through the travel agents, you are more than welcome to book flights on your own and 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.
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.
Please note that your passport MUST be valid for at least 6 months after your return travel date or you will be denied entry into the Dominican Republic.
If you have any questions regarding passports, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Jess & Jayme!
The Room Block
Tanya + Jason have secured a room block for their guests at Dreams + Secrets La Romana. Your $200 deposit will be considered your “Yes” RSVP!
There is a 3 night minimum for all wedding groups stays at Dreams + Secrets La Romana, and please note that this resort requires that all guests attending the wedding stay on property and book into the couple’s room block.
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 Tanya + Jason are holding in their room block.
HOW TO BOOK
Tanya + Jason 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 will be due on or before January 5th, 2025.
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:
You will just have to put down a $200 deposit to hold your room, and you may make interest free payments at any time.
*Please note, if you purchase travel insurance, that cost will also be paid at the time of deposit.
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 Dreams + Secrets La Romana)
*We will need your flight details no later than 60 days prior to your departure date.
Groups shared $145 per person
OR
Group Shared Transfer for up to 4 guests on the same flight from PUJ = $290 per van
· 1-4 passengers traveling on the same flight.
· Nonstop group shared service (only guests of Tanya + Jason’s group) aboard a van.

If you have more than 4 people on the same flight that you’d like to share a transfer with, please let us know and we will get you an accurate quote!
Please note: Transfers can be shared with friends or family members in other rooms traveling on the same exact flights. Just add to the notes on your room reservation form that you will be sharing transportation and with whom, and we can divide the cost on both invoices. You can select a transfer and it can be easily modified closer to the time of travel.
INSURANCE + CANCELLATIONS
ALL RESERVATIONS IN THE GROUP ARE FULLY NON-REFUNDABLE AFTER JANUARY 5TH, 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 January 5th 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.
