How to get from SDQ (Las Américas, Santo Domingo) to Eden Roc Cap Cana

SDQ can be a practical option depending on flight availability, but it requires a different mindset. This is a long road journey, and comfort should be prioritized over speed.

Step 1: Prepare before leaving SDQ

  • Use restrooms and purchase water or snacks before pickup.

  • Keep chargers, medications, and essentials close at hand.

  • Mentally plan for extended travel time rather than a quick transfer.

Step 2: Meeting point guidance

  • Confirm your pickup location in advance (inside arrivals or curbside).

  • Share your flight number so delays can be managed smoothly.

  • Confirm the destination clearly: Eden Roc Cap Cana.

Step 3: Long-route mindset

  • The route typically follows major highways; toll roads may be part of the drive.

  • Traffic or weather can add time—build generous buffers.

  • If you need a restroom or coffee stop, mention it early.

For SDQ arrivals, private transfers are strongly recommended. Fewer stops and flexible pacing make a significant difference.
