Key trip logistics: PUJ airport to Uvero Alto
Uvero Alto is located at the northernmost tip of the Punta Cana tourism region. While it feels like a secluded paradise, it is highly accessible with the right transportation:
Distance from PUJ Airport: Approximately 25 to 28 miles (40-45 km).
Travel Time: Between 35 to 45 minutes, depending on your resort’s specific location.
The Best Route: We travel via the Autopista del Coral and then connect to the Boulevard Turístico del Este. This is a fast, multi-lane highway that bypasses the slower traffic of downtown Bávaro, ensuring you reach your destination in record time.
Why a private shuttle is the best choice for Uvero Alto
Uvero Alto is significantly further north than the main Bávaro hotel strip. Here is why American travelers prefer CanaTransfers for this specific 25-mile journey:
Avoid the “Hotel Loop”: Shared shuttles often stop at 5 or 6 different resorts in Bávaro and Arena Gorda before finally heading to Uvero Alto. This can turn a 40-minute drive into a 2-hour ordeal. With our private transfer to Uvero Alto, your vacation starts the moment you land. No extra stops, no waiting for other passengers.
Family-friendly efficiency: Uvero Alto is home to major family brands like Nickelodeon Resort. We know that after a flight from the USA with kids, every minute counts. Our drivers prioritize a quick, safe, and direct 25-mile route so your family can get to the water park faster.
Luxury for luxury: The resorts in Uvero Alto (like Excellence or Zoëtry) are among the finest in the Caribbean. Your transportation should match that level of quality. Our fleet of late-model, sanitized SUVs and minivans provides the “American standard” of comfort you expect.
Distance and travel time to Uvero Alto resorts
This northern corridor hosts some of the most iconic properties in the Dominican Republic. Here is the breakdown for your 25-mile trip:
Destination Distance from PUJ Est. Drive Time
Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana 26 miles 40 min
Excellence El Carmen / Punta Cana 28 miles 45 min
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino (Macao/Uvero) 18 miles 30 min
Dreams Onyx / Breathless Punta Cana 27 miles 42 min
Live Aqua Beach Resort 28 miles 45 min
Jewel Punta Cana (formerly Dreams) 27 miles 42 min
The route: scenic siews of the northern coast
Your 25-mile journey to Uvero Alto is a smooth ride along the island’s modern tourism highway.
The fast track: We exit Punta Cana Airport and immediately hit the Boulevard Turístico del Este. This road is well-maintained and designed for high-speed tourist transit.
Bypassing the crowds: We stay on the main highway, avoiding the congested “inner roads” of Bávaro and Friusa.
The palm groves: As we approach Uvero Alto, the landscape changes. You’ll see thousands of coconut palms and a more “wild” Atlantic coastline that characterizes this premium northern zone.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – Uvero Alto
How far is Uvero Alto from Punta Cana Airport?
The distance is roughly 25 to 28 miles (40-45 km). It is a straightforward 40-minute drive using the main tourism highway, making it the perfect choice for those who want seclusion without an exhausting journey.
Is Uvero Alto the same as Bávaro?
No. Uvero Alto is located north of Bávaro and Macao. It is known for being much quieter, with larger, more spread-out luxury resorts and a more powerful Atlantic surf.
Can I book a transfer from Uvero Alto to the Hard Rock Casino?
Absolutely! If you are staying at a quieter resort in Uvero Alto but want to visit the Hard Rock Casino for the night, we provide inter-hotel private rides. It’s a short 15-minute trip (about 10 miles) from most Uvero Alto properties.
Do you provide car seats for the ride to Nickelodeon Resort?
Yes! Since Uvero Alto is a top destination for families, we offer pre-installed, age-appropriate child safety seats upon request for the entire 25-mile journey.
PUJ airport survival guide: how to find your driver at terminal A & B
Landing at Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) is the start of your dream vacation, but for many, the arrival process can feel overwhelming. Between the heat, the crowds, and the “Shark Tank” of unauthorized vendors, you need a plan.
This guide ensures you navigate PUJ like a pro and find your CanaTransfers driver without the stress.
Know your terminal (A or B?)
Punta Cana Airport has two main terminals. While they look similar, the meeting points are different:
Terminal A: Generally handles European and some North American flights (e.g., Delta, JetBlue, Sunwing).
Terminal B: The newer, modern terminal used largely by American Airlines, United, Southwest, and Air Canada.
Pro Tip: Check your boarding pass or the CanaTransfers WhatsApp message you received—we track your flight and will tell you exactly which terminal we are waiting in.
Navigating the “Shark Tank”
After you clear Immigration and pick up your luggage, you will pass through a hallway filled with people offering “cheap taxis,” timeshares, or excursions. In the industry, we call this the “Shark Tank.”
The high-pressure zone: These vendors can be very aggressive, sometimes even trying to grab your bags or telling you your pre-booked driver isn’t coming.
The survival strategy: Do not stop. Keep walking straight toward the Pre-Booked Transportation Exit. Simply smile, say “No, thank you, I have a private driver,” and keep moving.
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.
