You are ready for the perfect experience! That is until you start to stress about how to get to the Jewel Punta Cana resort in Punta Cana after arriving at the airport. So don't stress yourself out about how you're going to get there once you've landed.
This article will tell you everything you need to know and more about getting to Jewel Punta Cana from Punta Cana Airport.
From the Airport to the Jewel Punta Cana
When you land at Punta Cana airport, you will be eager to get to the Jewel Punta Cana Resort and Spa 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.
Jewel Punta Cana is located about 45 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 straight to Jewel Punta Cana.
A one-way trip from the airport to Jewel Punta Cana Resort should cost around $55 for up to six people. Of course, prices will increase if you need a bigger vehicle to accommodate more people.
The Dreams does not have a 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.
A luxury transfer entails a luxury vehicle, English speaking driver, and beer and water on arrival. A luxury transfer averages $85 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 Jewel Punta Cana Resort.
Jewel Punta Cana does not offer transportation, so you need to book the shared transfer with another company. Amstar, a local company, charges USD 88 for a round-trip shared shuttle for two guests, almost 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, and please note that there is no direct bus from the Punta Cana Airport to Jewel Punta Cana. Taking a bus to the Jewel Punta Cana Resort would require a detour to Higuey, making the 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, 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. Due to local disagreements, Uber's are not allowed into the spa, so you would need to stay at the gate of Jewel Punta Cana and wait for a golf cart for the remainder of the ride. As a warning, you should not call an Uber from the airport or resort.
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 a safe nor the most enjoyable choice in Punta Cana.
Staying at the Jewel Punta Cana
Jewel Punta Cana will be a fantastic vacation as a classic resort in Punta Cana. 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.
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 the Buggy! Enjoy an action-filled day in the muddy countryside, and visit a beautiful cenote.
If Buggies tours aren't for you, there are fishing trips, whale watching, catamaran tours, and zip lines, among others.
