Question 8

What airport in the Dominican Republic is most convenient for this event?

The first option is Puerto Plata (POP) and Santiago (STI) second. STI is a larger airport with more flights, and you may be able to receive better rates through STI.

Question 9

Do I have to book through Trilogy and Friends?

You must book through Trilogy and Friends to receive the best value for your vacation getaway. This way you receive the variety of accommodations, access to VIP facilities, and the all-access Party Pass to all LOS events ($200).

Question 10

You can do this, but you will not have full access to the LOS events. You will be required to buy a party pass ($200) to participate with LOS guest and receive their privileges.

Question 11

What if I book at another resort and want to attend LOS at the host resort?

Accepted Answer

You can do this, but you will not have full access to LOS events. You will be required to buy a party pass ($200) to be an LOS guest with full access to their privileges. You will also be required to pay an additional daily resort access fee of $100.

Question 12

What is the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Guest cancellations are extremely costly & time consuming for Trilogy and Friends Entertainment and our associate travel professionals to administer correctly. In all cases when a guest, of his or her own choice, cancels in advance of the trip or fails to show up for any reason such action will be deemed a trip cancellation. Our policy is “all payments are non-refundable”. Our policy is stated in the terms and conditions located on our registration form. This policy is also communicated twice on invoice statements to each group. If a person has to cancel for any reason, we will credit only the “initial deposit” showing their intent to attend, forward to the next year’s event. Any payments made after the initial deposit are not refundable. If a guest is able to find a new replacement who does not currently have an initial deposit in place, we will transfer all of their payments to that new person. We think this is fair and balanced. It is consistent with our policy of “all payments are non-refundable”.

Question 13

Can I stay longer than 5 days?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. Many LOS guests stay past 4 nights to enjoy their time in the Dominican Republic. Feel free to contact us for discounted rates

Question 14

Is my room type guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

The same as many Resorts, the Host Resort communicates in the confirmation letter that they reserve the right to change any confirmed room depending on their internal needs. If a guest does not get the room that they booked and paid for, we will guarantee you the same value. If the Resort changes a room type, Trilogy and Friends will reimburse the difference in price between the room you receive and the room you booked.
