What is the difference between a contracted room block and a flexible group for my All-Inclusive destination wedding?

January 15, 20242 min read

To ensure the best fit, we offer two distinct options to accommodate your type of group, number of travelers and flexibility of schedule.

1. Traditional Group Travel

  • Perfect for groups of 20 or more people and 10 or more rooms.

  • Ideal for travelers on the same itinerary (with a good bit of flexibility) seeking flexible payment and cancellation policies.

  • Benefits include general group contract perks that can be applied to your wedding!

  • Whether it's flight & hotel packages or accommodations only, we've got you covered.

  • Enjoy a set price for all travelers with pre-reserved block inventory.

  • Usually will require an upfront deposit paid by the couple (Don't worry, this money can be applied to your own room once your guests are booked).

2. Flexible Groups

  • Suited for smaller groups (sometimes as few as 5 rooms) looking to vacation together at the same resort.

  • Offers flexibility in travel dates, flights, and length of stay.

  • No need to sign a group contract, providing a hassle-free experience.

  • Guests can book from any origin, yet the hotel will seamlessly recognize them as one group.

  • Customization is key – tailor every booking to meet your guest's unique travel preferences.

Some Common FYIs:

  • Group inclusions and amenities can change at any time and are at the resort’s discretion. Any complimentary stays or upgrades will be applied to the couple's reservation unless otherwise informed to your group specialist.

  • All resort credits are assessed approximately 3-4 weeks after travel and are refunded to the designated reservation via the original form of payment. Hotel complimentary credits are typically based on the most common hotel room category booked and the most common length of stay booked.

  • Hotel’s complimentary credit value is at the hotel’s discretion. Only rooms booked through The TravelSmith Travel Agency will count toward complimentary credit eligibility.

  • All packages are subject to availability and pricing at the time of booking.

  • Minimum 3-night hotel stay required for most rooms in a group.

  • All guests must stay at the same hotel unless otherwise contracted with The TravelSmith Travel Agency

  • Discount will recalculate if modifications are made to the booking.

  • Standard Terms and Conditions apply and are outlined during the booking process; other restrictions may apply.
