Step 1: Arrival flow at PUJ

  • Turn on your phone to look for messages from your driver.

Step 2: Meeting your driver

  • Exit the terminal to the arrivals pickup area.

  • Politely decline unsolicited offers: “No thank you, I have a transfer.”

Step 3: Confirm before departing

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

SDQ can work well for some flight routes, but it’s important to plan intentionally. This is a longer road transfer, and comfort matters more than speed.

Step 1: Prepare before leaving SDQ

  • Use restrooms and buy water before meeting your driver.

  • Keep snacks, chargers, and medications easily accessible.

  • Set expectations: this is a travel block meant for rest.

Step 2: Meeting point guidance

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

  • Share your flight number to manage delays smoothly.

  • Confirm the destination clearly: Eden Roc Cap Cana.

Step 3: Long-route mindset

  • The route generally uses major highways; toll roads may be involved.

  • Traffic and weather can extend the drive—build generous time cushions.

  • If you’d like a restroom or coffee stop, request it early.

For SDQ arrivals, private transfers are strongly recommended. On longer drives, predictability and personal comfort make a real difference.

Transfer options (private vs shared)

Private transfer

  • Best for: SDQ arrivals, couples, families, late flights.

  • Consider: waiting times and multiple hotel stops.

  • From SDQ: generally not recommended due to distance.

Human arrival-day tips

  • Pack a small arrival kit: phone charger, sunscreen, medications.

  • Tropical rain is common—buffer time keeps stress low.

  • If arriving late, skip plans and prioritize rest.

  • Luxury feels better when you don’t rush into it.
