Hi all,

I have a question as to whether I should purchase transportation to the resort when i book the package (probably through orbitz...good...bad?) or if there are options available when you get to the airport in punta cana. This will be our honeymoon and both of our first times out of the USA.

We will be going to excellence in sept and i would rather not be stuck at the airport for hours if it's not necessary.

You can do either. Excellence is one of the furthest resorts from the airport so transfers do take time if you have to stop at other hotels. You can book through your travel provider, directly through Excellence, grab a cab or book a private transfer with an independent company. I am sending you a PM with some info.

Hi Chesire,

Welcome to the forum and congrads on the honeymoon.

I want to say that some companies include transfers as part of the package while others will remove the transfer cost if you request it. We’ve had both. We’ve also done both as far as rode the transfer bus and taken private transportation…

Private transport wins hands down… especially to Excellence which is the furthest resort from the airport in the area…

Mike’s Taxi is the primary server for all your transport needs. You can send an e-mail to

info@ibkservicios.com and get all the info you need….

Good Luck !

Peace

Lea

Hi Chesire,

As Lea stated that private transfer wins hands down...we have not used them yet, but I did email them today and within 1 hour I received and email back. I was very pleased with the prompt attention I received! I'm sooo looking forward to a private taxi, rather than a bus ride with many others.

Once again, thank you Lea!

Hi,

I emailed Excellence and their price was $70 each way for a private transport. Mike Fisher's price was $75. I think both are very reliable so take your pick. I intend to use Excellence as I figure if there is any issue we can seek recourse through the resort. Have a wonderful honeymoon.
