Is the $42 price per person or per vehicle?

Per vehicle. $42 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 $89 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 PUJ to JOIA Bávaro by Iberostar?

25–35 min in normal traffic. JOIA Bávaro is the former Iberostar Grand Bávaro; retain the full property name. The car is yours alone, so there are no other pickups or hotel stops on the way.

Where do I meet the driver for my JOIA Bávaro by Iberostar transfer?

At PUJ, follow the meeting instructions in your confirmed booking. For the return, confirm this property’s actual reception or entrance; neighbouring hotels may have different collection points.

Is this the same price as Bávaro?

No — Arena Gorda is $42 Standard and $89 VIP one-way per vehicle, while Bávaro hotels are $35 Standard and $79 VIP. Arena Gorda is farther than Bávaro, so the rate is $42 / $89, not $35 / $79. If your booking is actually at a Bávaro resort, tell us the property name on WhatsApp and we quote the Bávaro rate instead.

Does Iberostar Grand Bávaro mean a different hotel from JOIA Bávaro?

No. Iberostar identifies Grand Bávaro as the former name of JOIA Bávaro by Iberostar.

Can I use a generic Iberostar Punta Cana destination?

Use JOIA Bávaro by Iberostar instead; the group has other hotel names in Punta Cana that are not interchangeable.

Where JOIA Bávaro sits and where we stop

JOIA Bávaro by Iberostar is the adults-only hotel formerly called Iberostar Grand Bávaro. Its published address is Carretera Arena Gorda, Playa Bávaro. An older confirmation bearing Grand Bávaro therefore points to the same renamed property, not a second destination. Other Iberostar hotel names in Punta Cana must not be treated as substitutes simply because the brand matches. When arranging the transfer, include JOIA Bávaro and mention the former name if it appears on your voucher. For arrival and departure, confirm the reception for this reservation rather than using a general Iberostar meeting point.

How the pickup works

1Send your flight number, date and party size on WhatsApp — we confirm the price in writing.
2We track the flight, so a delay or an early landing does not change anything.
3Your driver waits in arrivals with a name sign, just past customs.
4Travel to the booked accommodation and the arrival point confirmed with the property.

Bigger groups and luggage

Up to six passengers ride in one Standard vehicle at $42. For 7–14 passengers we send a passenger van: +$20 on Standard, +$40 on VIP. Send the luggage count with the booking — golf bags, strollers and car seats are all fine, we just size the vehicle before the day instead of at the curb.
