Travel To & Around

 

Do I need a rental car?

No, for any desired trips out of the villa, local transport is easily organized within a moments notice. It has been our experience that rental cars stay mostly stationary at the villa.

How do I get to the Island?

Geographically close to the North American mainland, each Dominican Republic airport also serves as a gateway to the rest of the Caribbean.

The popular north coast is served by the Puerto Plata International Gregorio Luperon Airport (POP) and the new Samana International Airport (AZS).

Las Americas International Airport (SDQ) near the capital city Santo Domingo and Santiago (STI), although a bit further away, are also both viable options.

There are daily regular direct flights from Miami and New York.

Our guests frequently fly with Jet Blue, American Airlines, Delta and Continental or private jet.

 

What travel documents do I require to come to the Dominican Republic?

A passport along with a Tourist Card.

 

Are there any fees I need to pay on arrival/departure?

There is a US $10 Tourist Card fee some people will have to pay on entry, sometimes included when you book your flight.

 

Do I need to have a return flight ticket?

All non-residents should have a round trip (return) ticket to prove they will be departing the Dominican Republic.

 

How do I get to the villa and what transport do you provide from the airport?

The villa concierge organizes an air conditioned taxi van for all arrivals and departures of their guests. We provide VIP service with beverages on board. Air conditioned taxi vans that hold 6 persons with luggage or if you are all arriving at the same time we provide a bus.
