- Is the $299 price per person or per vehicle?
- Per vehicle. $299 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 $399 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 Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo?
- 3–4 h in normal traffic. Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo lists the Las Terrenas–El Limón road. It is different from Bahia Principe Escape Samaná. 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 Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo transfer?
- Follow the agreed PUJ airport instructions; confirm the El Portillo return pickup with dispatch.
- Is this the same price as Bávaro?
- No — Las Terrenas / Samaná / Las Galeras is $299 Standard and $399 VIP one-way per vehicle, while Bávaro hotels are $35 Standard and $79 VIP. Las Terrenas / Samaná / Las Galeras is farther than Bávaro, so the rate is $299 / $399, 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.
- Should I select Bahia Principe Samaná instead?
- No. Escape Samaná is listed at Los Cacaos on the Samaná–Las Galeras road. Send your complete reservation name to avoid confusion.
