- Is the $170 price per person or per vehicle?
- Per vehicle. $170 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 $240 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 Club Med Michès Playa Esmeralda?
- 2 h 30 – 3 h in normal traffic. Two and a half to three hours from LRM, the last part on the mountain road down to Playa Esmeralda. The car is yours alone, so there are no other pickups or hotel stops on the way.
- Where does the driver meet us at Club Med Michès Playa Esmeralda?
- In the LRM arrivals hall with a name sign, then the full run north-east to the Club Med Michès entrance at Playa Esmeralda.
- Is this hotel close to La Romana airport?
- Not especially — it is 2 h 30 – 3 h 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 Club Med Michès Playa Esmeralda with no other pickups.
- Is this the same price as Bayahibe?
- No — Miches is $170 Standard and $240 VIP one-way per vehicle, while Bayahibe hotels are $40 Standard and $79 VIP. Miches is farther from the airport than Bayahibe, so the rate is $170 / $240, 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.
- What time should we leave Miches for a flight from La Romana?
- Four hours before an international departure. The drive is 2 h 30 – 3 h and the mountain section does not reward rushing, so the extra margin covers weather and the airport check-in.
