How to get from SDQ (Las Américas, Santo Domingo) to Majestic Mirage Punta Cana
SDQ can work depending on flight options, but it’s important to plan realistically. This is a long road transfer, and the experience improves greatly when comfort comes first.
Step 1: Prepare before leaving SDQ
Use restrooms and purchase water before meeting your driver.
Keep snacks, chargers, and medications easily accessible.
Mentally frame this as quiet travel time, not a quick ride.
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: Majestic Mirage Punta Cana.
