How to get there from PUJ (Punta Cana International Airport)
1) Leaving the airport
Clear immigration and collect your luggage.
Take a moment before exiting—PUJ arrivals can feel busy and loud.
Keep your hotel name and transfer confirmation accessible.
2) Meeting your driver
Exit the arrivals hall and proceed to your pre-arranged pickup point.
Look for your name on a sign or a direct message from your driver.
If approached by taxi offers, a calm “No, thank you” is enough.

That the driver knows the correct Dreams Royal Beach entrance.

How to get there from SDQ (Las Américas, Santo Domingo)
Arriving through SDQ is a different experience. This is a long-distance transfer, and the most important thing you can do is give yourself time—mentally and practically.
1) Before starting the drive
Use the restroom and stretch before pickup.
Have water, snacks, and chargers within easy reach.
If traveling with kids, explain that this will be a longer ride.
2) Meeting your driver at SDQ
Confirm the exact pickup location in advance.
Share your flight number so delays are accounted for.

3) The road‑trip mindset
This route often includes highways and long open-road stretches.
Toll roads may be part of the journey; drivers manage the route.
Build generous time cushions so the drive feels calm, not rushed.
For SDQ arrivals, private transfers are strongly recommended. Fewer stops and a predictable pace make a long drive far more comfortable.
