Landing at Punta Cana International (PUJ) is the beginning of a highly anticipated escape to Excellence El Carmen. As an American traveler, you have likely chosen this resort for its reputation for “Unlimited Luxury,” its modern architectural lines, and its secluded location in Uvero Alto.

At CanaTransfers, we believe your vacation should not begin with a stressful, two-hour “milk run” on a shared shuttle bus. We provide a seamless, private transition that respects your time and your standard of luxury.

Logistics: Distance, route, and timing

The drive to Uvero Alto is a scenic journey through the heart of the Dominican East Coast, but it requires a reliable vehicle and a professional driver.

The distance: Approximately 45.7 kilometers (28.4 miles).

The travel time: 45 to 55 minutes via private transfer. (Shared shuttles can take up to 150 minutes).

The route details: After exiting the airport terminals (A or B), your CanaTransfers driver will merge onto the Boulevard Turístico del Este (Highway 105). This modern highway is the main artery of the region. You will bypass the busy intersections of Downtown Punta Cana and the residential areas of Veron. As you head north, the urban landscape gives way to vast, untouched coconut groves. Finally, will turn toward the coast onto the Uvero Alto road, passing only a handful of other elite resorts before arriving at the grand, white-walled entrance of Excellence El Carmen.

Comparing Canatransfers with other options

Where is My CanaTransfers Driver?

Terminal A Meeting Point: Once you exit the glass doors into the fresh air, look for the “Pre-booked/Tour Operator” area. Your driver will be standing in the designated waiting zone holding a CanaTransfers digital tablet or a professional sign with your name.

Terminal B Meeting Point: Terminal B is more organized but can be busier. Exit the customs area and follow the signs to Transport/Taxi. Look for our uniformed driver near the Cafeteria/Meeting area. We stay away from the chaotic taxi lines to ensure a calm greeting.

The CanaTransfers “contact protocol”:

To ensure you never feel “stranded,” we follow a strict communication plan:

Before takeoff: You’ll receive a WhatsApp message from your personal concierge.

Upon landing: Once you turn on your phone, you’ll have a message with your driver’s name and live location.

Visual confirmation: Our drivers wear professional uniforms and use high-visibility branding. No handwritten cardboard signs—only professional tablets.

Quick tips for a smooth arrival

Stay connected: Use the airport’s free Wi-Fi to send us a quick message once you clear Customs.

Currency: You do not need Dominican Pesos at the airport. At CanaTransfers, your ride is pre-paid or payable via secure digital methods, so you can skip the expensive airport currency exchanges.

Hydrate: The humidity will hit you the moment you exit. If you booked our VIP Welcome, your driver will have ice-cold water (and beer!) waiting for you in a pre-cooled vehicle.
