Bayahibe & La Romana Hotel Transfers from Punta Cana Airport (PUJ)
Bayahibe, Dominicus and La Romana form the second resort cluster of the eastern Dominican Republic — 75 to 85 kilometers west of PUJ, on the edge of Cotubanamá National Park. This is where you sleep if the main reason you booked the trip is Isla Saona or Isla Catalina: both islands literally launch from Bayahibe pier, saving 1 to 2 hours of bus time compared with a Bávaro base. The resort lineup is smaller but distinctive — Dreams Dominicus, Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus (with its Dominican-village architecture), Hilton La Romana, Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach & Palace, Catalonia Gran Dominicus and the ultra-luxury Casa de Campo Resort with its Pete Dye Teeth of the Dog golf course. The drive from PUJ takes 60 to 75 minutes on the Coral Highway (tolls ~$4 each way, included in our rate). Next Ride's flat pricing removes the biggest friction of this route: PUJ taxi meters don't run this far, so the negotiated cash fare typically doubles the pre-booked private rate — and you still arrive in an old car with no child seats. Our SUVs and vans are under 5 years old, GPS-tracked, and driven by bilingual chauffeurs who know every resort access in Bayahibe and La Romana.
Why Bayahibe & La Romana?
Bayahibe is a working fishing village turned dive capital — Cotubanamá National Park's reef is one of the healthiest in the Caribbean. La Romana adds Casa de Campo's marina, golf and the Altos de Chavón artisan village.
Who stays here
Divers and snorkelers, couples who want a more authentic and less commercial Dominican vibe than Bávaro, families booking multiple boat excursions, and premium golf travelers headed to Casa de Campo.
