BAGGAGE

Please check with your airlines for baggage restrictions

TRANSPORT TO RESORT

Upon arrival to airport and after receiving baggage, you will step outside and look for "Excellence/Finest Punta Cana" transfer service.

MONEY

Call your credit card company and bank a few days before we leave and let them know you are traveling out of the country. American dollars is also fine if you are bringing cash.

ID's

Make copies or take pictures on your phone of your driver’s license, passports, and credit cards.

TIP MONEY

Although it is an all-inclusive resort and tips are technically included, if you notice the staff working hard and exceeding your expectations they appreciate any extra tips. They will remember you and take care of you! US Dollars are perfect in small bills- $1’s & $5’s- $20’s will be hard to break.

HOUSEKEEPING

If you have a preferred time for housekeeping and turn down service, let them know upon check-in and they will make note of it and will do their best to accommodate. We recommend times when you know you’ll be out at the pool or out for meals, say between 10-1 for housekeeping and 7:30-9 for turn-down. This way if you want to come back to the room for a mid-day siesta, it will all be done

SPA

There are monthly discounts available for the spa which are found in the app. You can pre-book your service to save anywhere from 20-30%. There is also apparently a small beach spa about a three minute walk down the beach called “Tropical Treasures”. When facing the ocean turn right and walk down the beach. They offer massages, fish pedicures, and souvenirs. People have left very consistent reviews of fabulous massages looking out onto the ocean.

HYDROTHERAPY

If you booked an Excellence or Finest club room you will receive one complimentary hydrotherapy session at the spa. Don’t forget to use it before you leave!

ROOM SERVICE

There is a service box in your closet that can be accessed from the hallway. You can set up a standing order of coffee, croissants, fruit, etc. to be delivered at a certain time each morning, especially if you like a coffee and a snack pre-breakfast. They will deliver it without disturbing you & you can grab it when you’re ready. You can also pre-order room service the evening before to have it delivered once you wake up, or order room service before you go out for the evening for a late night snack.

SECURITY

Lock everything in the safe in your closet. Money, passports, sunglasses etc. If there are any issues with your safe, immediately call the front desk to come fix it.

BOOZE

When ordering a drink, specify the brand of alcohol you want. Additionally, in your room, you have 3 fully sealed bottles of liquor (vodka, gin, whiskey, tequila, baileys, etc.)
