It's time for the ladies to go international! We have had many members over the years ask about a big trip, so we are finally doing it! We are going to head south during the winter to explore The Dominican Republic!
The goal of this trip is for everyone to be able to have the experience YOU want. If you want to meet up with other ladies in the group daily for beach/pool hang, excursions, etc. - you can! If you want a few days solo and just to grab dinner every now and then - you can! We only ask that we keep it a ladies trip! I will give dates, location, information for booking, etc., but I am not planning specific Meetup events at the resort. We want this to be a low pressure vacation for everyone.

This resort is all inclusive. The initial price might seem high, but every single meal (as many as you want), alcohol, etc. is all included. There is so much to do at the resort - beach, pools, gym, casino, sports bar, disco, bowling alley, theater, spa, piano bar, ice cream shop, coffee shop, multiple restaurants, a spa, a theater, special daily events, and so much more.
*Spa, excursions, meal/alcohol upgrades (not necessary in my opinion), and souvenirs are extra costs.
Starting price:
***This is for a Junior Suite Garden View. All of the rooms are incredible and there are upgraded rooms for a higher cost if someone prefers it. You are rarely in your room, so I probably wouldn't bother upgrading unless there is something you have to have. I would also suggest saving the $600 plus to share a room. You are typically only in there to sleep and get ready, so that money can be put towards excursions, spa days, etc. I am not sure how long the promo code will last, but this does allow for the best deal to book sooner than later.
Cost: $1344.70 - per person if you share a room
Promo Code: SUMMER25
H10 Discount: Free to sign up
Cost: $1945.30 - individual if you do not share a room
Promo Code: SUMMER25
H10 Discount: Free to sign up
***If you are interested in sharing a room, please leave a comment so others who are interested are aware. It is up to you to pick your roommate and arrange booking together if you do this.
