Where Viva Dominicus Palace sits and where we stop
Viva Dominicus Palace shares the Dominicus beach estate with Viva Dominicus Beach, and the two hotels sit close enough that a booking reading only "Viva" leaves the driver guessing at the entrance. We take the full name and confirm it before the day. The drive from PUJ is 60 to 75 minutes west along the coastal highway, with the last few minutes on the Dominicus approach road through the village. If you are heading out to Saona from the Bayahibe pier, note that the early boats leave before most hotel breakfasts — worth knowing when you plan the week, not the arrival.
