Anyone familiar with it? We just booked our honeymoon at Viva Wyndham Dominicus Palace and are trying to find the closest airport. The one in our timeshare book say 60 miles away and I know there has GOT to be a closer one...

Re: Dominican Republic
If I am not mistaken this property is close or next to Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus that we went to this past April... we flew into La Romana Airport and I would recommend using this airport rather than in Punta Cana because Punta Cana is kinda far away...

Re: Dominican Republic
I have no idea, i haven't looked into the details. FMIL booked it for us. All inclusive, i can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think you are right about La Romera or whatever it is. I guess we'll rent a car once we get to the airport?

Re: Dominican Republic
ummm they dont recommend that, I guess it is dangerous for tourists to rent cars, the roads are not safe... if you want to learn more about Dominican Republic this website has a lot of good and helpful information I use it all the time...

It's not a good idea to rent a car for anyone who doesn't know they're way around the island. I've been there maaaaaaaaaaaaany times, and I still wouldn't rent a car. The streets aren't necessarily dangerous, it's the other drivers ~ worse than NYC's yellow cabs. Also, the streets aren't easy to get to, like NY. You honestly would have maaaaaaaaany turns & twists before you get there.

Re: Dominican Republic
Ok thanks. And with my sense of direction. I think I'll call the resort and ask them the best airport to fly in to. Everyone is telling me how dangerous it is!!!!!!!!!

Re: Dominican Republic
Thanks, we can't wait to go. With the all inclusive package deal, it looks as if we won't have to lift a finger! We have to leave the morning after our wedding, but that is no biggie except that I HATE packing early...but I'll make an exception!

Re: Dominican Republic
It's not dangerous. It's just that like any place, if you don't know where you are going, you might end up getting lost and you wouldn't want that. And yes, they drive worst than the yellow cabs here so you don't need the extra stress. They are very friendly and hospitable people. You'd definitely enjoy yourself there. I've been to many resorts and always have the best time ever. The rum is unbelievable good and they have Sangria which I love. Tons of fun there. We had gone and rented cars but I've gone with people that know the island and have been there before and we had gone to different resorts if we stayed for 2 weeks. Get ready to party, relax if that's what you want to do. You will have a Great Time !!!!
ETA>>You might want to arrange with the resort/hotel to come and pick you up. They usually do that for free. I've done that in the past.

Re: Dominican Republic
Being a native of DR, I don't even drive over there. We have a driver (thanks to my grandparents). I suggest you get a shuttle provided by your hotel. They should have it.

The hotel your staying at is located in Bayahibe Dominican Republic and the nearest airport is La Romana (LRM) which is 17 miles to the hotel...Punta Cana is 60 miles away and Santo Domingo is 70 miles away...you can call Wyndham reservations or the hotel direct at 809-686-5658....don't rent a car all of my friends from DR told me it is too dangerous (we cancelled our care rental)...we're honeymooning there also but in Puerta Plata..good luck
