- Is the $320 price per person or per vehicle?
- Per vehicle. $320 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 $430 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 The Bannister Hotel & Yacht Club?
- 4 – 4.5 h in normal traffic. The Bannister Hotel & Yacht Club is at Puerto Bahía, Carretera Sánchez–Samaná km 5. It uses our Samaná / Las Terrenas transfer zone for journeys from La Romana International Airport (LRM). This is the road-accessible hotel at Puerto Bahía, not a hotel on Cayo Levantado and not a generic Samaná pier. Send the full hotel name, gate requirements and agreed reception. If your actual destination is a yacht, identify its marina meeting point separately. The road transfer does not include a boat, a yacht charter or a maritime connection. The car is yours alone, so there are no other pickups or hotel stops on the way.
- Where does the driver meet us at The Bannister Hotel & Yacht Club?
- Your driver meets you after baggage collection at La Romana airport with a name sign. For the return journey, we confirm the hotel's collection point and pickup time using your departure flight date and number. Send any reception instructions supplied by the hotel before you travel.
- Is this hotel close to La Romana airport?
- Not especially — it is 4 – 4.5 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 The Bannister Hotel & Yacht Club with no other pickups.
- Is this the same price as Bayahibe?
- No — Las Terrenas is $320 Standard and $430 VIP one-way per vehicle, while Bayahibe hotels are $40 Standard and $79 VIP. Las Terrenas is farther from the airport than Bayahibe, so the rate is $320 / $430, 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.
- How do I identify the correct arrival point for The Bannister Hotel & Yacht Club?
- The Bannister Hotel & Yacht Club and Hacienda Samaná Bay Hotel & Residences are different destinations. Send the complete property name, the address on your current reservation and the reception or entrance instructions. This is the road-accessible hotel at Puerto Bahía, not a hotel on Cayo Levantado and not a generic Samaná pier. Send the full hotel name, gate requirements and agreed reception. If your actual destination is a yacht, identify its marina meeting point separately. The road transfer does not include a boat, a yacht charter or a maritime connection.
