Short answer
To deliver convention kits to a hotel in Punta Cana or Bávaro, agree with the hotel ahead of time on who receives them, at what time, and where they're handed out. Lemon Creativo is based in Santo Domingo, delivers on the date set in the quote, and replies within 24–48 hours; a multi-piece kit takes 10 to 18 business days.

Request quoteHow is kit delivery coordinated with the hotel?
It's coordinated before production, not the day before. The quote locks in the date and the hotel; with the organizer, we settle the rest:
| What to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Hotel contact (groups or events) | They authorize receiving and decide where the goods are stored until the group arrives. |
| Receiving hours and entrance | If the hotel receives through a service entrance or at set hours, knowing it keeps the delivery from getting stuck at the gate. |
| Group or event name on every box | So the hotel can identify the shipment among the day's deliveries. |
| Where kits are handed out: check-in, rooms, or ballroom | It changes the packing. For rooms, each kit carries the person's name; for a ballroom, kits can be grouped by table. |
| Which brand goes on each piece: the event's, the sponsor's, or the hotel's | Each brand is a batch with its own mockup; settling it before production means no artwork redo. |
| Guest list, if kits carry names | Named gifts are produced from the list, not after. |
| Date the hotel can receive | That's the date the lead time counts back from, not the event date. |
In-room delivery depends on each hotel's rules; we arrange it with the hotel team when the group asks for it. Schedule delivery to the hotel with room to spare before the group arrives: a kit that shows up when guests are already in the lobby doesn't get handed out well.
Who orders event kits for east-coast hotels?
Three kinds of clients, with the same problem: nobody from their team is at the hotel to receive the goods.
- Companies bringing a convention or incentive trip to an east-coast hotel that need welcome kits, closing-dinner gifts, or awards.
- Event organizers and agencies that manage the group and need a supplier to handle production, packing, and delivery without sending their team to the capital.
- Hotels and resorts that want a branded gift for groups, corporate guests, or partners.
What should you give visitors arriving in Punta Cana?
Something that tastes like the Dominican Republic. For executives and clients from abroad, Dominican rum, chocolate, or a coffee piece says more than another logo item. Here are options from our catalog:
| Product | What's inside | Reference price from |
|---|---|---|
| Local-flavor event gift kit | A branded recycled-paper notebook and a brownie, for a taste of the DR | RD$924 |
| 3-cup mini greca | The stovetop coffee maker found in every Dominican home, laser engraved | RD$1,267 |
| Leyenda box | Leyenda rum, chocolate, and mixed nuts in a glass jar; comes in holiday wrapping | RD$2,734 |
| Coffee with Love gift box | A greca, mug, saucer, and spoon, all branded, in a gift box | RD$2,970 |
| Premium Dominican trunk | A trunk of Dominican products for VIP clients, hosts, or the executive team | RD$9,636 |
Reference prices per unit, before ITBIS (Dominican sales tax), as of October 2026. They vary with quantity, branding, and packaging.
The gift changes with who it's for within the group. For convention attendees, a light kit with a bag, notebook, pen, and bottle. For event staff, T-shirts and ID with color-coded lanyards, so they can spot each other in a resort full of guests. For VIP guests, hosts, or the executive team, the trunk or the coffee box. If your group mixes attendees, speakers, and sponsors, how to choose gifts for a conference or convention explains how to separate them. And if the guest is a client visiting from abroad, read what to give a foreign client visiting the DR.
What if the event is alcohol-free?
There are two routes. The first is local flavor without alcohol: the kit with a brownie, the mini greca, or the coffee box. The second is something useful at the resort: at the beach and during outdoor activities, people really use a cap, a reusable bottle, and a canvas tote.
Useful items have an advantage: they stay in use after guests fly home, and your brand goes with them. If the trip includes a group activity, also see team building for companies in the Dominican Republic.
How far ahead should you order?
A multi-piece kit takes 10 to 18 business days from artwork approval; if the event goes over 100 pieces, plan at least 15 business days. Single items, like a ready-made box, take 2 to 4 days per the product page.
Then add transit to the east coast and the day the hotel can receive. The practical rule: count back from the date the hotel needs the kits, not from the event date. If your convention falls in November or December, order earlier: along with July, those are the busiest months of our year.
How we deliver kits to the hotel
An event in Punta Cana has a problem that one in the capital doesn't: nobody on your team is nearby to check the goods before they reach the hotel. That's why quality control happens piece by piece before the boxes are closed, and the table above is settled with the hotel before production starts.
The process is the same as always: brief, a quote in 24–48 hours with a mockup and itemized pricing (product, branding, packaging, and service), artwork approval, production, and delivery. The difference is that the date and the hotel are written into the quote from the start.
Two things we see in requests: per-person branding is normal (clients often ask for the company logo next to each guest's name), and time is almost always tight, since many need the quote that same week. On an incentive trip, putting each winner's name on their kit makes sense; send the list along with the artwork.
We invoice with an official Dominican tax receipt (e-CF). If your company is organizing from abroad, read how a foreign company works with a local supplier in the DR.
For our service in the area, see corporate gifts in Punta Cana for hotels and resorts; if the event is coming from abroad, see international corporate events in Punta Cana. And if it includes a booth or trade show, the full guide is what merchandising to bring to a trade show or conference.
Request your quote with the hotel, the group's arrival date, and the number of guests: we reply in 24–48 hours with the proposal and the delivery date.
