No, you can book via any site you want; however, there are some perks of booking the room block.
Why should I book using the room block?

Whenever you want! However, everyone is invited to our Welcome Party which will take place on the evening of Thursday, March 26, 2026.
Which airport should I fly into?
Punta Cana International (PUJ) is the closest. The resort is about 20 minutes from the airport.
*Prior to leaving for the airport, everyone must fill out their immigration e-ticket: https://eticket.migracion.gob.do/

Are the Welcome Party and Wedding indoors or outdoors?
The Welcome Party will be outside at Lopesan's Timon Bar.
Our wedding ceremony will be on the beach, cocktail hour and the reception will be in an open-air indoor space.
How will I get to the resort once I land?
If you book your stay using the room block, your transportation to and from the resort is included. A shuttle will pick you up at the airport and take you back to the airport after your stay. If you do not book the room block, you're on your own!
What is the dress code?
For the Welcome Party and the wedding think "upscale beach". Gentlemen - shorts and a nice shirt. Ladies - sundresses, maxi dresses, jumpsuits, etc.
The low will likely be ~70 degrees and the high will likely be ~84 degrees. We want you to be comfortable!
