Press Release/ New Services Offered

Island Travel Company, an award-winning travel agency based in Ohio, has launched a Dominican Republic-focused subsidiary: Mr. and Mrs. Punta Cana. The new venture is helmed by Eric and Angel Mateo, a husband-and-wife team with 44 years of combined travel industry experience who now call the Dominican Republic home.

Mr. and Mrs. Punta Cana will be the premier resource and booking agency for travelers seeking stress-free Dominican Republic vacations, particularly at luxury all-inclusive resorts. The agency’s goal is to cut through all the red tape for its clients, guiding them to the best-fit resorts for their needs, coordinating seamless transfers with its in-house transportation company, and acting as a liaison between clients and local properties.

“Resorts in the Dominican Republic tend to operate on ‘island time,’” said Angel Mateo. “While that’s great for a relaxing resort experience, it can make actually planning your vacation frustrating. Our agents on the ground eliminate all the stresses that arise from language barriers, time zone differences, and the hassle of trying to track down customer service support from properties catering to thousands of travelers.”

Unrivaled island knowledge, extensive industry experience, and a laser focus solely on the Dominican Republic sets Mr. and Mrs. Punta Cana apart from other Caribbean-focused agencies. Eric Mateo is a DR native with a background in hospitality and service, while Angel Mateo is a travel industry veteran who worked as a flight attendant before founding Island Travel Company in 2008. .

The pair actually met while Angel was vacationing at the Punta Cana resort that Eric was working at; their island romance blossomed into a deep passion for the Dominican Republic that they can’t wait to share with their clients. They are proud to report that they will only send clients to resorts and properties that they’ve personally inspected themselves—a number that currently sits at 60.

Wonderful First Travel Agent Experience

Angel was a joy to work with. She made sure everything for our honeymoon was setup and that we knew what to expect upon arriving. She went above and beyond for us in finding a secondary resort after our initial was closed due to storm damage. Can't wait to use her again in planning our next trip.

Dream Honeymoon!

Angel helped us plan our dream honeymoon! She sent us so many destinations and resorts within our price range and even helped us reschedule when we postponed our wedding due to Covid. She made sure we were up to date on all of the travel restrictions and readily answered all of our questions. Angel helped make sure our honeymoon was flawless and helped make it the most relaxing vacation we’ve ever been on.
