Questions about this package
What does half board mean on this holiday?
You have breakfast and dinner at the hotel each day. Lunches and drinks are not included, so you’re free to eat where you like along the beach.
Are there direct flights from the UK to Punta Cana?
Yes, from London Gatwick and Manchester, taking approx. 9 hours, with some direct flights from Birmingham on selected dates. From other UK airports you fly with one stop. We confirm the flights with your quote.
Does seaweed affect the beach at Bávaro?
Sargassum seaweed can wash up on east coast beaches at times, and many hotels clear their own stretch of sand. It varies by year and month, so ask your consultant about your dates.
Is halal food available?
Halal food is very limited in the Dominican Republic. Seafood and vegetarian dishes are easy to find, and some resorts can arrange meals on request. It depends on the hotel, so we ask before you book and say plainly what is not available.
How do I book this holiday?
Send an enquiry or call us on 020 7871 4545. We’ll confirm the price for your dates, then a deposit secures your booking and you receive an ATOL Certificate.
