Is the $115 price per person or per vehicle?

Per vehicle. $115 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 $180 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 Meliá Caribe Beach Resort?

1 h 35 – 1 h 55 in normal traffic. One hour forty to two hours east from LRM, ending at the Meliá Caribe lobby set back from Bávaro beach. The car is yours alone, so there are no other pickups or hotel stops on the way.

Where does the driver meet us at Meliá Caribe Beach Resort?

In the LRM arrivals hall with a name sign, then east to Bávaro. The driver stops at the Meliá Caribe Beach lobby rather than the Paradisus receptions that share the estate.

Is this hotel close to La Romana airport?

Not especially — it is 1 h 35 – 1 h 55 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 Meliá Caribe Beach Resort with no other pickups.

Is this the same price as Bayahibe?

No — Bávaro is $115 Standard and $180 VIP one-way per vehicle, while Bayahibe hotels are $40 Standard and $79 VIP. Bávaro is farther from the airport than Bayahibe, so the rate is $115 / $180, 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.

Where Meliá Caribe Beach sits and where we stop

Meliá Caribe Beach shares a large landscaped estate with Paradisus Palma Real and Paradisus Grand Cana, with gardens, a golf course and internal roads between them. The Caribe lobby is its own building, and that is what the driver is given at the gate. From La Romana the drive is one hour forty to two hours through Higüey and along the Bávaro road. Two practical notes for this property: the walk from lobby to some room blocks is long, so let the bell desk take the luggage rather than dragging it; and for your return we recommend leaving three hours before an international departure from LRM, which we confirm with you when we book the round trip.

How the pickup works

1Send your flight number, date and party size on WhatsApp — we confirm the price in writing.
2We track the flight, so a delay or an early landing does not change anything.
3Your driver waits in the LRM arrivals hall with a name sign, just past customs.
4Direct 1 h 40 – 2 h drive east to the Meliá Caribe Beach lobby on the Bávaro estate.

Bigger groups and luggage

Up to six passengers ride in one Standard vehicle at $115. For 7–14 passengers we send a passenger van: +$20 on Standard, +$40 on VIP. Send the luggage count with the booking — golf bags, strollers and car seats are all fine, we just size the vehicle before the day instead of at the curb.
