The local currency in Punta Cana is the Dominican Peso (DOP). However, US dollars are widely accepted and are often the preferred method of tipping. If you choose to bring the local currency, that's absolutely fine as well. Currency exchange services are available at the airport and the resort for your convenience. We recommend having a mix of both US dollars and Dominican Pesos to cater to various situations during your stay.

While there might be a brief rain shower now and then, overall, December tends to be a dry and sunny month. So, pack your sunscreen and get ready to soak up the sun!

The celebration will continue! The resort has a range of back-up indoor locations, so make sure to check this website and your email in case of change-of-venue due to rain.

Some restaurants may require long pants&nbsp;and collared shirts for men, and blouses, skirts, pants, or dresses with dress shoes for women. Don't forget your essentials for enjoying the Caribbean beaches – pack your swimsuits, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and mosquito repellent.&nbsp;

What is the dress code for the wedding events? 

The dress code is dressy-casual, and we encourage you to lean into the beachy atmosphere. For the beachfront ceremony itself, we suggest you kick off your shoes and go barefoot!&nbsp;
