While this is a large resort, it is super easy to get around, they have golf cart shuttles that go around the resort 24/7
​
​
This is my number one choice for your Destination Wedding in Dominican Republic!
​
This resort has something for everyone! There are 13 pools on the property plus a waterpark, mini-golf, bowling, an escape room and even a full Vegas style casino, and a ton more things! All rooms have also been completely updated!
They have a gorgeous beach that spans for what seems like miles. This is literally the picture-perfect backdrop for your ceremony!​
​
They also start the planning process at 6 months prior to the wedding, which is earlier than most resorts, and to begin with, you will be working with the wedding team located in Miami, which means communication will be much quicker than working with the onsite wedding coordinator to start!

Dreams Resorts are great at weddings! They do a lot of them and know what they are doing! So, I do like to offer them as options when they also meet all of your other wants, which I think this one does.
​
This resort also has a pretty amazing beach for your ceremony backdrop! Along with a waterpark and casino!

Please note that if selecting a wedding package that could be complimentary, the event must happen on the Beach during the week (Monday - Thursday), after 9:00am and before 4:00pm. Should you choose a different location, day or a later time, the package full cost would apply.

5 nights: $1650 per person
​
8 Restaurants and 9 Bars
​
730 Rooms
About 30 minute drive from Punta Cana airport
This would be a great choice if keeping the cost down is the priority.
It is a very large resort, but has a lot of dining and bar options!
They actually have a swim up bar that is in the grotto of the lazy river, so when you are floating around you can just stop and pick up a drink on your way!
​
It is also relatively new, built in 2018, so going to be very modern and sleek style. Pretty much all Royalton's have the same look to the rooms as you can see.
​
They have really good pricing for their lead in rooms! But then they do go up from there if people wanted to upgrade or move to the Diamond Club section.

Dreams Playa Mujeres
Playa Mujeres, Mexico
This is located in Playa Mujeres which is north of the Cancun hotel strip. I love this resort because of the beach in this area. You will not have as much seaweed to deal with and usually it is not an issue at all, so that will be very nice for a beach ceremony! There are also two swim-up bars including one in the Grotto which is under a waterfall.
