Honeymoon Frequently Asked Questions
Punta Cana resort-strip all-inclusive is a different product entirely, typically 7 nights, one resort, food included in the wristband, large family-oriented hotels with 1,000+ keys. This itinerary is two distinct luxury properties (73 keys at Eden Roc, smaller individual zones at Casa de Campo), à la carte dining, private guided excursions and zero buffet-line. Same destination, different segment.
Neither is formally adults-only, but Eden Roc Cap Cana is largely adults-oriented (the Caleton Beach Club, the spa-led ambience and the all-suite, all-villa accommodation make it feel that way). Casa de Campo welcomes families but is so large (7,000 acres) that families gravitate to specific zones, Minitas Beach Club has a quiet adults-favoured stretch, and the marina, Altos de Chavón and golf course feel curated for adults.
Yes. Cap Cana is a private gated resort complex (the Caleton, the marina, the golf clubs are all within the gates), you will not be moving around the open island unless you choose. Casa de Campo is similarly a private fenced 7,000-acre resort. The guided excursions (Saona Island, Hoyo Azul cenote) run with private vehicles and professional guides. UK FCDO advice for the Dominican Republic is straightforward; we will brief you on common-sense awareness before departure.
Sargassum (Caribbean seaweed) is present along the Dominican east coast in some months, typically heaviest May to August. Cap Cana's Caleton beach is partially protected by reef and operates daily beach-cleaning. Casa de Campo's Minitas beach is on the south coast (different current pattern) and is generally clearer. We will brief you on current conditions before departure.
December to April is the Caribbean dry season, reliable sunshine, cooler nights, less humidity. February and March are particularly reliable. June through October is the technical hurricane season; impacts on the DR are statistically rare but we recommend dry-season departures for a honeymoon. May and November are excellent shoulder months.
Yes. A two-night extension at Casas del XVI in Santo Domingo Zona Colonial (the UNESCO old town, the first European settlement in the New World) is a beautiful prelude to the beach stay. Visit the Catedral Primada de América, the Alcázar de Colón, and the cobbled colonial streets. We can also extend to a Samaná Peninsula whale-watching add-on (January to March only).
Everything is private, your own driver across all transfers, your own boat for the Cap Cana coastal excursion, your own table at every dinner. The Saona Island day is operated as a small-group tour (16 guests) by national-park regulation but we can arrange a fully private charter on request.
British Airways World Traveller Plus on LGW–PUJ is available at a supplement of around £600 per person. BA Club World around £2,200 per person. We will quote the live fare once we know your departure month.
A 25% deposit confirms your booking. The balance is due 10 weeks before departure. Every booking is ATOL protected under licence 10898, so if we were to fail your money is refunded and, if you are already away, you are brought home. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and direct bank transfer.

Real reviews
What our customers say
They organised excellent accommodation and transfers from airport to destination and between destinations which was seamless and gave us peace of mind for our trip. We stayed in the nicest casa particular in Havana right on the outskirts of the major hustle of the old town but within walking distance to every site and lots of lovely restaurants. Our hotel in Varadero had 5 a la carte restaurants which were delicious and wonderful beaches! Would definitely go back to Cuba and use TravelFab again.
Annabelle
Excellent service. Fabien responded to all our queries promptly and efficiently and was always willing to spend time talking to us. The itinerary was well-considered and well-organised with an adequate amount of time in each location. Locations were varied and interesting. The service provided by the B&B owners was good to outstanding. The organisation of the coach services for transfers from one destination to another was super with comfortable journeys in clean, air-conditioned coaches. Thanks, TravelFab!
David
I was very impressed with Fabian's dedication, patience and professionalism in organising a group of 8 young persons (over 60's) to get to Cuba. The whole experience has been a very positive one. Despite having to relocate to another hotel at the last minute, that change over went very smoothly. Our accommodations were excellent. We will definitely book with TravelFab again. Thank you!
