Instantly you begin thinking about sitting beachside at one of the best all-inclusive resorts in all of Punta Cana.
You are ready for the perfect experience! That is until you start to think about how to get to the Hyatt Ziva after arriving at the airport with your whole family. Don't worry!
This article will tell you everything you need to know and more about getting to the Hyatt Ziva from Punta Cana airport.
From the Airport to the Hyatt Ziva
When you land at Punta Cana airport, you will be eager to get to the Hyatt Zivaright away. There are endless airport transportation options at the Punta Cana airport.
Shuttles, Taxis, and Transfers
Taxi and shuttle services are available when you arrive. Taxis are safe in the Dominican Republic, but booking a taxi at the airport can be stressful.
The operators and hustlers are all shouting for your attention as soon as you step out into the sun; you won't know who to choose.
The Hyatt Ziva is located about 25 minutes away from the airport. For a hassle-free experience, you can book a private transfer to get from the airport to the resort.
Booking an airport transfer in advance will save you time and money. In addition, a pre-booked airport transfer is the best way to ensure an easy arrival.
As soon as you arrive, your private transfer will be waiting for you with a sign that has your name on it. Your driver will take you right to the Hyatt Ziva.
A one-way trip from the airport to Hyatt Zilara should cost around $30 for up to six people. Of course, if you need a bigger vehicle to accommodate more people, prices will increase.
The Hyatt Ziva does not have its own shuttle service. Instead, their local partner charges $45 that accommodates 1-4 guests for a private transfer which is a steep price to pay for an airport transfer.
You can find luxury transfers available for higher prices as well. A luxury transfer averages $60 per trip. A luxury transfer entails a ride on a Cadillac Escalade, English speaking driver, and beer and water on arrival.
Shared Punta Cana Shuttles
Shared shuttles are less recommended while traveling to the Hyatt Ziva.
The Hyatt Zivalocal partners do not offer shared transportation, so you would need to book the shared transfer with another company. Amstar, a local company, charges $54 USD for a round-trip shared shuttle for two guests, pretty much the same cost as a private shuttle for up to 6 guests.
Buses, Motorbikes, and Rental Cars
If you're traveling light, consider taking a local bus (gua gua) to the resort. Unfortunately, there is no space for suitcases at the airport.
Bus maps are available at stands around the airport; please note there is no direct bus from the Punta Cana Airport to the Hyatt Ziva. The bus would drop you off at the main gate of Cap Cana; from there, you would still need to take a taxi from the gate to the Hyatt Ziva property, which is a 10-minute drive.
Cars are also available for rental at the airport by all major car rental companies. However, it is not recommended to rent a car because driving can be chaotic, especially in the cities. Also, car rentals are extremely pricey and jacked up with hidden fees at the airport.
Yet, if you plan an extended stay in Punta Cana and have experience driving with little rule-following, it is another consideration.
Motorcycle taxis, called motoconchos, are popular in the Dominican Republic. Unfortunately, there is no way to get a Motorcycle Taxi at the airport.
Uber in Punta Cana
Uber is also available in Punta Cana. As a warning, you should not call an Uber from the airport or the resort. Due to local disagreements, Uber is not welcome by taxi drivers; also, Ubers are not allowed into the resort, so you would need to stay at the gate of the Hyatt Ziva and wait for a golf cart for the remainder of the ride.
If you call an Uber in an area with a taxi stand or high traffic, an argument can break out between the Uber and taxi drivers. Thus, using Uber is not a safe choice in Punta Cana.
Staying at the Hyatt Ziva
As one of the highest-rated resorts in Punta Cana, the Hyatt Ziva will be the ultimate vacation. A beautiful family resort, one of the best beaches in Punta Cana, white sand, and food options that are to die for will make it so that you would not want to leave the resort.
The resort offers many different activities for visitors to enjoy. Some activities are included in the all-inclusive fee. Many are not.
There are also plenty of additional activities you can do outside of the resort.
A popular activity is Scape Park! Enjoy a fun-filled day at one of the most beautiful parks you can ever visit. Packed with a Zip-Line course, natural Cenotes (Lagoons inside of caves), animal interactions, and plenty more.
If Scape Park isn't for you, there are fishing trips, whale watching, catamaran tours, and buggies, among others.
