DR4
Festival ticket includes

DR4 MAIN 5 DAYS ticket price includes the workshops, fun activities, night parties and party transportation (even the BachataTours to San Pedro, Guerra and Santo Domingo Barrios). The optional PRE-EXTENSION 3 DAYS includes the night parties, party transportation and Los Tres Ojos excursion. The Festival ticket price does not include flight, hotel, excursions and drinking in the night clubs and transportation to and from the airport. The optional Catamaran and Jungle Excursion prices are all-inclusive (transport, activities, food and drinks included).

The excursions must be paid 1 month before the festival at the latest, but you'll save in money transfer costs by paying at the same time. Paying festival and excursions at the same time becomes cheaper than paying them separately due to the money transfer costs and anyway the excursions must be paid 1 month before the fest at the latest. The excursions are all-inclusive (transport, activities, food and drinks included).

IMPORTANT HOTEL NOTICE!

Hotel EUROPA is amazingly nice, beautiful, sympatic and CHEAP. It's also perfectly located, which means it will sell out in a couple of months. Reserve it at once if you don't mind to stay in a basic room. There will be other, more luxurious hotels, available also. Hotel Europa prices include a breakfast. The area is full of fancy restaurants.

Hotel CCC is all-inclusive including breakfast, lunch, dinner, night food and drinks. It's bachata friendly and has Dominican atmosphere. We have had wonderfull time in that hotel and attendees like it, although it's not the most expensive and luxurious of the region.

Hotel CCC room reservation is a bit tricky, but DR4 organizer will help you in the process. Fill the room reservation request in the ticket order form. We will forward it (after double checking it) to the hotel. The Hotel will respond directly to you by email with the payment instructions. You have to pay the first night at once and the rest of the room payment in October. Remember, Hotel CCC will certainly fill up and your room reservation is valid only if CCC has been able to charge your credit card or bank account.

There is no sense in reserving any other Hotel in Juan Dolio than Coral Costa Caribe due to the all-inclusive hotel rules. If you stay at any other hotel you will have to buy an expensive "all-inclusive day pass" to authorize your access to Hotel CCC or your access is limited to workshop halls only.

YOU MUST ARRANGE YOUR OWN FLIGHT!

Instead of improvising or being agonized over the unexpected problems contact at once DR4 organizer v. He can quickly help you in festival, hotel, flight and vacation extension issues.

DR4 DISCLAIMER

After filling the DR4 ticket order form you'll get the full DR4 DISCLAIMER by email. You'll accept the Disclaimer by paying the festival ticket. The disclaimer says in brief: DR4 organizer is responsible only for the festival workshops, fun activities and parties. DR4 organizer is not responsible for the flights and accommodation. DR4 reserves all the rights to do any changes to the festival program before prior notice. No refunds even if the favourite artist/instructor is missing. We will hire more than enough instructors and live bands to recover smoothly the inevitable changes. Last time we had world-record 15 live bands (150 musicians) and no problems, no changes. In the past some live bands have cancelled the signed and paid contract but we were able to get even better artists to do the job. Notice! your name is your ticket and we'll check it when you arrive in the festival.

Bachata Business Rules in DR

DR3rd went smoothly. We didn't have any problem of whatsoever. Maybe we were just lucky or maybe the festival was perfectly planned. However, we have to take into consideration that the Dominican Republic does not follow all the international rules of business. Some of the Dominican bachata artists, party places and instructors have been known to break signed and paid legal agreements. Due to this fact the Fourth Dominican Republic Bachata Festival clearly states that nothing can be guaranteed and changes from the published schedule will occur. The changes and cancellations do not entitle ticket holders any discounts or refunds.  In the past when cancellations occurred the festival organizers have always found excellent replacements.

Apreciate the biggest effort ever done

DR 1st was 5 years of planning, 8 months working, 2nd added 8 months of working as well as DR3rd 8 months more. The most autentic and exotic festivals didn't born by itself.

Help us to succeed

We organize the DR4 to help Dominican artists&instructors and to spread the knowledge of the authentic Dominican style bachata to the whole world.  Please help us to spread the word by inviting your Facebook friends to the DR4th Bachata Festival Facebook group. The Festival will be declared successful if everyone’s expectations are met and the authentic style of bachata is learned and its popularity increases around the world.
