Majestic Colonial Resort, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

This spectacular 5-star all inclusive resort is located on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. A variety of Junior Suite guestrooms, decorated with old world charm, complement the elegant colonial architecture. The natural-shaped pool is the focal point of this resort and is almost 1/2 a kilometer long, wandering from the main buildings through the residential buildings to the beach. It is a delightful place with so much to do (or as little as you like to do), as well as having world-class dining and fun entertainment. During the day, Children's clubs keep the young ones occupied and happy, while shopping at the outdoor local artisan market, working out at the Fitness Centre, sunbathing poolside or on the beach, or a multitude of watersports will please everyone else. At night the casino, outdoor covered theatre, and many restaurants and bars provide a variety of entertainment from low-key to high excitement.

Please contact Pauline Blacoe at shine@shinetravel.ca to book your space or enquire about different rates/room categories.

It would be preferred if you could email your booking request. Please feel free to call for information, but an email eliminates any issues like spelling mistakes in names, etc.

This is the information that we require for a booking:

1. Your Full Name as it is listed in your passport.
It is essential that your passport name and your airline ticket name be identical. If you have not yet requested a passport, make sure that the name you give is exactly the same name that you put on your passport application. If the name is not changed to reflect the exact same name, then you will be denied boarding on travel day!

2. Your Full Mailing Address, including postal code.

3. Your Phone Number (s) that you can be reached at.
We need to have to have at least one phone number where you can be reached. We need this for a number of reasons: Should the resort sell out (stop sell), they have the right to ask for final payment immediately instead of waiting for the final payment date....Should the airline change the flight times....Should there be any problem with the credit card you gave for payment....we need to be able to reach you immediately.

4. Your Email Address
We would like to have your email address so that we can send out a general distribution email should any group issues arise.

5. Your Date of Birth
We require your date of birth for the files, and in order to process your travel insurance.

6. Your Credit Card Information
We will require your credit card information for the initial deposit, and then again for your final payment. If both payments will be made using the same credit card then we only require this once.  Air Canada Vacations requires a deposit of $200 per person at the time of booking to hold the vacation package. Then, the balance owing will have to be paid by October 31, 2011. You can make also make installments/payments at any time prior to then but we will need final payments to be processed by that date.

If you have any questions regarding the resort itself, the pricing of the rooms, the insurance, or anything else, please send an email to Pauline Blacoe at shine@shinetravel.ca or call Pauline directly at 705-294-1545.

As much as everyone is there for Christiane and Kyle, we also want to make sure that your vacation is exactly what you want and expect.
