When we recommend leaving Bayahibe
We plan a pickup two and a half hours before the flight. That covers the 25 to 35 minute drive, the checkout queue, and the part travellers forget: La Romana's terminal is small, so when two charters depart in the same window the check-in and security lines are the bottleneck, not the road. Guests coming back from a morning Saona trip should tell us the boat's return time as well as the flight — we would rather set the pickup around both than hope the boat is punctual.
