The Travel Slut's Top 10 tips about the Punta Cana International Airport: 1. Upon arrival, you will have have to run a gauntlet or get your photo taken with 2 Dominican women in costume. The photo will then be available at a kiosk inside the terminal after clearing security and your photo will be listed by date and flight #. The cost is $7.00 U.S. and a fairly nice souvenir. 2. After you get your photo you will be required to purchase a $10.00 U.S. tourist card before entering immigration. 3. There are no jetways at this airport which is comprised on buildings made of thatched huts (or palapas). Therefore, if you exit your plane in the rain, you will get wet walking to the terminal unless you carry a poncho or umbrella. 4.Look for package deals to Punta Cana first, then look for airfare only deals. I booked a $16.00 U.S. round-trip flight on Spirit Air via their email notices. 5. There is so much construction between the resorts and the airport that plan accordingly to leave at a time where you will not be rushed at the airport. 6. If Terminal 1 is your departure location, and it is too hot for you in the open air waiting area, simply step into the air-conditioned bar-lounge next to the Wendy's counter and order a drink. The drinks are not expensive considering bottled water or soda will cost $3.00 U.S. inside the terminal 7. If you do not want to use the bar, then simply walk over to Terminal 2 via the walkway. Terminal 2 is closed and air conditioned and much nicer/newer than 1. 8. Terminal 2 has more shops, including duty-free and some restaurants. 9. Terminal 1 has only a small snack shop, Wendy's hamburger stand and a pizza stand. They are located at the top of the ramp. 10. Prior to departure, you will have to pay a $20.00 U.S. departure fee tax. Be sure to check your airline documents to see if the tax has been pre-paid, otherwise, you will be stopped before boarding.

If you want to go around you can take a taxi asking at the reception or going to the entrance of your hotel. There is some which are waiting at all times. You can also take a gua-gua, small buses that run through the coastal road all the day. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Taxi's have set zone rates. You can easily find out the cost of going from one location to another by inquiring at the front desk of the hotel. All the taxi's should have the same rate. If not, find another taxi. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Prieto Tours was the company tasked with taking us from the ariport to the resort and back. The trip back to the airport never happened. They never showed up. After a few calls and a huge fight on the phone with the tour company, I had to hire a cab. $95USD. In the end, I talked Prieto Tours into picking up the tab while I was on the phone with them. You must remember to be proactive about your ride. Sometimes the Dominicans just don't care, especially once they have already been paid. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home
