- Is the $125 price per person or per vehicle?
- Per vehicle. $125 Standard covers 1–6 passengers with luggage in one private car, taxes and tolls included — the same figure whether you are two people or six. VIP is $190 for the same group in a luxury SUV or executive van. Groups of 7–14 move to a passenger van: +$20 on Standard, +$40 on VIP.
- How long is the drive from LRM to Riu Palace Macao?
- 1 h 45 – 2 h 05 in normal traffic. Riu Palace Macao is in the Arena Gorda transfer zone. A resort's marketing name does not determine its transfer tariff. The car is yours alone, so there are no other pickups or hotel stops on the way.
- Where does the driver meet us at Riu Palace Macao?
- At LRM, your driver waits after baggage collection with your name sign. For the return from Riu Palace Macao, we confirm the meeting point and hotel pickup time on WhatsApp using your departure flight details.
- Is this hotel close to La Romana airport?
- Not especially — it is 1 h 45 – 2 h 05 from LRM, out along the eastern coast rather than in the La Romana and Bayahibe cluster. The run is perfectly comfortable in a private car, but it is a long drive, so we dispatch earlier, carry water and build in a comfort stop if you want one. Your vehicle goes straight to Riu Palace Macao with no other pickups.
- Is this the same price as Bayahibe?
- No — Arena Gorda is $125 Standard and $190 VIP one-way per vehicle, while Bayahibe hotels are $40 Standard and $79 VIP. Arena Gorda is farther from the airport than Bayahibe, so the rate is $125 / $190, not $40 / $79. If your booking is actually at a Bayahibe resort, tell us the property name on WhatsApp and we quote the Bayahibe rate instead.
