This article will tell you everything you need and more about getting to the Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana from the airport.

From the PUJ to the Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana

When you land at Punta Cana airport, you will be eager to get to the Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana immediately. 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 cab 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 Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana is located about 30 minutes away from the airport. For a hassle-free experience, you can book a private transfer 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 Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana.

A one-way trip from the airport to Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana should cost around $35 for up to six people. Of course, if you need a bigger vehicle to accommodate more people, prices will increase.

The Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana has its transportation service. A taxi at the Punta Cana Airport charges $40 USD, accommodating 1-6 guests, and both choices are pretty expensive for a private airport transfer. The personal transportation for up to 6 people on their website is 46 USD.

A luxury transfer entails a luxury vehicle, English speaking driver, and beer and water on arrival. A luxury transfer averages $60 per trip. You can find luxury transfers available for higher prices as well.

Shared Punta Cana Shuttles

Shared shuttles are less recommended while traveling to the Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana.

The Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana also offers shared transportation. However, the price is 38 USD for only two people round trip, almost the same for a private round trip airport transfer.

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, and please note that there is no direct bus from the Punta Cana Airport to the Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana. Taking a bus to the Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana 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 incredibly pricey and jacked up with hidden fees at the airport.

Yet, it is another consideration if you plan an extended stay in Punta Cana and have experience driving with little rule-following.

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 resort. Due to local disagreements, Uber is not welcome by taxi drivers. You would need to stay at the Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana gate and wait for a golf cart for the remainder of the 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 neither safe nor the most enjoyable in Punta Cana.

Staying at the Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana

As one of the highest-rated resorts in Punta Cana, the Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana will be the ultimate vacation. A family-oriented resort, one of the best beaches in Punta Cana, white sand, and food options that are to die for will make it so that you would not want to leave the resort.
