This article will tell you everything you need to know and more about getting to the Chic by Royalton from Punta Cana airport.
From the Airport to the Chic by Royalton
When you land at Punta Cana airport, you will be eager to get to the Chic by Royalton right away. There are endless airport transportation options at the Punta Cana airport.
Shuttles, Taxis, and Transfers
Taxi and shuttle services are available when you arrive. Taxis are safe in the Dominican Republic, but booking a taxi at the airport can be stressful.
The operators and hustlers are all shouting for your attention as soon as you step out into the sun; you won't know who to choose.
The Chic by Royalton is located about 45 minutes away from the airport. For a hassle-free experience, you can book a private transfer to get from the airport to the resort.
Booking an airport transfer in advance will save you time and money. In addition, a pre-booked airport transfer is the best way to ensure an easy arrival.
As soon as you arrive, your private transfer will be waiting for you with a sign that has your name on it. Your driver will take you right to the Chic by Royalton.
A one-way trip from the airport to Chic by Royalton should cost around $55 for up to six people. Of course, if you need a bigger vehicle to accommodate more people, prices will increase.
The Chic by Royalton does not have its own shuttle service. Instead, a taxi at the Punta Cana Airport charges $70, which accommodates 1-6 guests for a private taxi which is a steep price to pay for your transportation.
You can find luxury transfers available for higher prices as well. A luxury transfer averages $85 per trip. A luxury transfer entails a luxury vehicle, English speaking driver, and beer and water on arrival.
Shared Punta Cana Shuttles
Shared shuttles are less recommended while traveling to the Chic by Royalton.
The Chic does not offer any form of transportation, so you would need to book the shared transfer with another company. Amstar, a local tour operator that provides private and shared transportation, charges USD 88 for a round-trip shared shuttle for two guests, almost the same cost as a private shuttle for up to 6 guests.
Buses, Motorbikes, and Rental Cars
If you're traveling light, consider taking a local bus (gua gua) to the resort. Unfortunately, there is no space for suitcases at the airport.
Bus maps are available at stands around the airport; please note that there is no direct bus from the Punta Cana Airport to the Chic by Royalton. Taking a bus to the Chic would require a detour to Higuey, making the total trip close to 3 hours long.
Cars are also available for rental at the airport by all major car rental companies. However, it is not recommended to rent a car because driving can be chaotic, especially in the cities. Also, car rentals are extremely pricey and jacked up with hidden fees at the airport.
Yet, if you plan an extended stay in Punta Cana and have experience driving with little rule-following, it is another consideration.
Motorcycle taxis, called motoconchos, are popular in the Dominican Republic. Unfortunately, there is no way to get a Motorcycle Taxi at the airport.
Uber in Punta Cana
Uber is also available in Punta Cana. As a warning, you should not call an Uber from the airport or the resort. Due to local disagreements, Uber is not welcome by taxi drivers; also, Ubers are not allowed into the resort, so you would need to stay at the gate of the Chic by Royalton and wait for a golf cart for the remainder ride.
If you call an Uber in an area with a taxi stand or high traffic, an argument can break out between the Uber and taxi drivers. Thus, using Uber is not a safe choice, nor is it the most enjoyable in Punta Cana.
Staying at the Chic by Royalton
The Chic is a solid choice for your vacation; with good planning, the Chic by Royalton will be the ultimate vacation. An adults-only resort, one of the best beaches in Punta Cana, white sand, and finger-licking food options will make you sure you wish you had booked a longer stay.
The resort offers many different activities for visitors to enjoy. Some activities are included in the all-inclusive fee. Many are not.
There are also plenty of additional activities you can do outside of the resort.
A popular activity is the Dune buggies tours! Enjoy an action-filled day in the countryside getting muddy, and visit a very beautiful cenote.
If dune buggies aren't for you, there are fishing trips, whale watching, catamaran tours, and zip lines, among others.
