How to get to Hyatt Ziva from Punta Cana International Airport

You've just booked your stay at the Hyatt Ziva and couldn't be more excited! Going to the Dominican Republic is going to be so much fun!

You begin thinking about sitting beachside at one of the best all-inclusive resorts in Punta Cana.

Don't worry! You are ready for the perfect experience! That is until you start to think about how to get to the Hyatt Ziva after arriving at the airport with your whole family.

This article will tell you everything you need to know and more about getting to the Hyatt Ziva from Punta Cana airport.

From the Airport to the Hyatt Ziva

When you land at Punta Cana airport, you will be eager to get to the Hyatt Zivaright 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 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 Hyatt Ziva is located about 25 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 Hyatt Ziva.

A one-way trip from the airport to Hyatt Zilara 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 Hyatt Ziva does not have a shuttle service. Instead, their local partner charges $45 that accommodates 1-4 guests for a private transfer which is a steep price for an airport transfer.

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

Shared Punta Cana Shuttles

Shared shuttles are less recommended while traveling to the Hyatt Ziva.

The Hyatt Zivalocal partners do not offer shared transportation, so you must book the shared transfer with another company. Amstar, a local company, charges USD 54 for a round-trip shared shuttle for two guests, the same 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 there is no direct bus from the Punta Cana Airport to the Hyatt Ziva. The bus would drop you off at the main gate of Cap Cana; from there, you would still need to take a taxi from the entrance to the Hyatt Ziva property, which is a 10-minute drive.

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. Also, Ubers are not allowed into the spa, so you would need to stay at the gate of the Hyatt Ziva and wait for a golf cart for the remainder.

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 in Punta Cana.

Staying at the Hyatt Ziva

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

The resort offers many different activities for visitors to enjoy. Some activities are included in the all-inclusive fee. Many are not.

You can also do plenty of additional activities outside the resort.

A popular activity is Scape Park! Enjoy a fun-filled day at one of the most beautiful parks ever. They were packed with a Zip-Line course, natural Cenotes (Lagoons inside of caves), animal interactions, and plenty more.

If Scape Park isn't for you, there are fishing trips, whale watching, catamaran tours, and buggies.
