Once you decide which resort you will be going to I'd email or call them and ask how much they will charge for another person to stay with you. Every hotel is dfferent so ask. Specify that they will stay the whole week or whatever.

Why one way? Are you planning to stay for a while?

Absolutely, since they all have different prices and rules.

I would personally book the airline and hotel seperate. I have done thisfor my past three trips that way you and your guest can pay seperate. I have a map of the DR with a huge lists of hotels and resorts with there phone#s on it. I pick my destination area, and then call every hotel directly and see what the best price is. if you want I could fax you a copy of it.

If the person you are meeting is in the DR and has a cedular have them make the resort reservations for you and him/her because dominicans get a very big discount booking from DR using their cedulars. Book your flight separately. PM me with the resort info I may be able to get you a good price.

yeah the person i'm planning on hanging out at the resort with has a Cedula, so you think i can have them do the reservations instead, if it's cheaper i'll definitly have them do it, i 'll either be in Juan Dolio or Boca chica Hamaca i havent decided yet, since it's close to SD and then we have to rush to Neyba Wednesday so we'll go in Monday and leave Tuesday.....

yeah my flight is seperate cause i'll be going home first in SD and then go to the resort for one night, about how much can i expect to pay for 3/21 to 3/22 for 2 people one room 2 beds for example...should i payin pesos or USD..?

any reccomendations? i've only been to the Coral Costa Caribe but as a day pass, and to Don Juan for the weekend

so, with the reservation is there a deposit needed, or can i just pay everything at the check in?

Deposits are needed. 50% will do most times.
