The RIU Bávaro resorts: which RIU is yours?

RIU operates 7 resorts in the Bávaro / Arena Gorda area: RIU Palace Bávaro, RIU Palace Punta Cana, RIU Palace Macao, RIU Naiboa, RIU Bambu, RIU República and RIU Republica Adults Only. They share entrance roads but each has its own lobby and gate — walking between them with luggage is not practical.

Our drivers know each lobby door specifically — if your booking says 'RIU Palace Bávaro' we drop at that exact entrance, even when the GPS pin shows the wrong adjacent RIU. Average ride from PUJ is 25-30 minutes via the Coral / Boulevard Turístico del Este corridor.

Saona, Catalina and excursion pickups from RIU Palace

Most popular excursions from RIU Palace Bávaro (Saona Island, Catalina, Buggy Macao, Santo Domingo day trip) include hotel pickup at the lobby — we coordinate the pickup window with your tour operator so you don't miss the bus.

If you prefer a private tour vehicle to skip the shared bus, we offer private door-to-door tour transportation from any RIU lobby. Booking the round-trip airport transfer and the excursion together unlocks a 10% combined discount.

Where to meet your driver at PUJ — pickup and meeting details

After landing at Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) you walk through Immigration, collect your luggage and hand in your e-Ticket QR at Customs. Exit through the sliding glass doors and turn right into the covered meet-and-greet area — that's where your Next Ride chauffeur is waiting, holding a printed sign with your name.

Drivers wear a Next Ride uniform and carry a Ministry of Tourism (MITUR) ID. The vehicle is already positioned at the closest authorized curb, A/C running, bottled water on board. From wheels-down to leaving for your hotel is typically 25-45 minutes — Immigration is the longest step, the meet & greet itself adds almost no extra time.

If you can't see your driver, message the direct WhatsApp number you receive 24 hours before your flight, or call our 24/7 dispatch at +1-849-449-5599. We don't release the vehicle until you're safely on board.
