Punta Cana Airport transfers to Royalton Splash Punta Cana
Navigating a foreign airport can be overwhelming, but booking a Canatransfers private Punta Cana airport transfer to Royalton Splash Punta Cana guarantees you skip the stress and start your holiday the moment you land.
When you arrive at Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), the last thing you want to do is haggle with local taxi drivers or wait for a crowded shared shuttle that makes ten different stops. A private transfer provides a direct, air-conditioned ride specifically for your group.
Route and distance details
The journey from PUJ to Royalton Splash Punata Cana is relatively short and scenic, taking you through the heart of the Bávaro tourist region.
Distance: Approximately 16.5 miles (26.5 kilometers).
Estimated travel time: Between 25 to 35 minutes, depending on local traffic conditions.
The Route: Your driver will depart the airport and head north on the Boulevard Turístico del Este (Highway 105). This is the main modern highway that connects the airport to the northern resort zones. You will pass through areas like Veron and Downtown Punta Cana before turning toward the Arena Gorda beach district, where the resort is nestled.
The roads are well-maintained, and since this is a direct route, you will avoid the winding interior roads of older residential neighborhoods.

Where is my Canatransfers driver?

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.

Things to do and see near the Resort
While the Royalton Splash offers endless entertainment, the Punta Cana region is full of adventure. Here are the top spots to visit, along with their distance from the resort:
Arena Gorda Beach (0.2 miles): Accessible via a short walk or the resort’s internal shuttle, this is your primary spot for turquoise waters and white sand.
Punta Blanca Golf Club (1.2 miles): An 18-hole championship course designed by Nick Price, perfect for golf enthusiasts.
Hard Rock Casino (1.5 miles): If you want to experience one of the largest casinos in the Caribbean outside of your resort, it’s just a 5-minute drive away.
Macao Beach (5.5 miles): One of the few remaining public beaches, famous for its surfing waves and local “Pescado Frito” (fried fish) shacks.
Coco Bongo Show & Disco (8.5 miles): The ultimate nightlife experience featuring acrobats, tribute acts, and high-energy music.
Scape Park at Cap Cana (22 miles): A natural theme park featuring the famous Hoyo Azul (a stunning blue cenote), zip-lining, and cave explorations.
Pro-Tips for your Punta Cana arrival
For American travelers, the transition to the Dominican Republic is generally very easy, but these “Pro-Tips” will help you navigate the airport like a seasoned veteran.
1. Complete Your E-Ticket in Advance
The Dominican Republic requires all passengers to fill out an electronic entry and exit form (E-Ticket). While you can do this at the airport, the Wi-Fi can be spotty. Complete it at home 72 hours before your flight and save the QR code on your phone to breeze through immigration.
2. Avoid the “Airport Gauntlet”
After you clear customs and pick up your bags, you will walk through a hall filled with people offering “free” tours, timeshare presentations, or taxis. These are not your drivers. Keep walking until you exit the building completely. Your pre-booked transfer driver will be waiting outside in the designated transportation area holding a sign with your name or the company logo.
3. Tipping in USD is perfectly fine
While the local currency is the Dominican Peso (DOP), US Dollars are widely accepted and often preferred in the tourism sector. For your transfer driver, a tip of $5 to $10 is standard for good service. Keep small bills ($1s and $5s) handy for tips at the resort and for excursions.
4. Use the “Bávaro” designation
If you are using a map or talking to locals, remember that Royalton Splash is technically in the Bávaro area of Punta Cana. Providing this specific location helps if you ever need to give directions to a local guide.
5. Stay hydrated, but skip the tap
The sun in Punta Cana is significantly stronger than in most of the U.S. Drink plenty of water, but ensure it is bottled or from the resort’s filtered dispensers. Even for brushing your teeth, most frequent travelers recommend using bottled water to avoid any “traveler’s tummy.”
6. Pack an “Arrival Kit” in your carry-on
Since check-in isn’t until 3:00 PM, your room might not be ready if you land early. Pack your swimwear, sunscreen, and flip-flops in your carry-on. The resort will hold your luggage, allowing you to hit the water park or the buffet the moment your transfer drops you off.
