- Is the $110 price per person or per vehicle?
- Per vehicle. $110 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 Barceló Santo Domingo?
- 1 h 45 – 2 h in normal traffic. Barceló Santo Domingo is at Avenida Máximo Gómez, 27 de Febrero, Santo Domingo. It uses our Santo Domingo city transfer zone from La Romana International Airport (LRM). The operator gives the corner of Avenida Máximo Gómez and 27 de Febrero. Its own historical guide identifies the former Hotel Lina name. This city hotel is separate from El Embajador and from the Barceló beach resorts in Bávaro. Confirm the hotel driveway; a brand-only request does not identify the destination. The car is yours alone, so there are no other pickups or hotel stops on the way.
- Where does the driver meet us at Barceló Santo Domingo?
- 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 1 h 45 – 2 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 Barceló Santo Domingo with no other pickups.
- Is this the same price as Bayahibe?
- No — Santo Domingo is $110 Standard and $180 VIP one-way per vehicle, while Bayahibe hotels are $40 Standard and $79 VIP. Santo Domingo is farther from the airport than Bayahibe, so the rate is $110 / $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.
- How do I identify the correct arrival point for Barceló Santo Domingo?
- Barceló Santo Domingo and El Embajador, a Royal Hideaway Hotel are different destinations. The operator gives the corner of Avenida Máximo Gómez and 27 de Febrero. Its own historical guide identifies the former Hotel Lina name. This city hotel is separate from El Embajador and from the Barceló beach resorts in Bávaro. Confirm the hotel driveway; a brand-only request does not identify the destination. Send the full accommodation name, reservation address and confirmed reception or host instructions before travel.
