What’s the experience like?

“Señorita, over here!” That’s what I heard as soon as I stepped into the arrival hall at Santo Domingo airport — not gonna lie, I was half-expecting chaos, but instead there was Juan (my driver), holding a little sign with my name. He grinned and waved like we’d met before. The air inside smelled faintly of coffee and that humid Caribbean warmth that sticks to your skin. Juan took my suitcase right away — he even joked about how heavy it was (“You bring all of New York?”) and honestly, after that flight, I just laughed along.

The car was spotless — no weird air freshener smell, just clean leather seats and cold bottled water waiting in the cupholder. WiFi worked right off the bat (I texted my mom before we even left the parking lot). We talked a bit about baseball (everyone here seems to have an opinion), and he pointed out where locals go for empanadas if you’re hungry after a long flight. It wasn’t rushed at all; he even asked if I needed to stop for anything on the way to my hotel in Zona Colonial. I didn’t expect that level of chill professionalism — like, it’s private transport but not stiff or awkward.

I noticed how Juan kept checking in without being pushy — “All good? Need AC up?” — and when we hit traffic near the Malecón, he just shrugged and put on some bachata quietly. There’s something about watching palm trees blur past while you’re still half-jetlagged that makes you feel both lost and kind of safe at the same time. When we finally pulled up to my hotel, he handed me my bag like it weighed nothing and wished me “bienvenida” with this genuine smile. I still think about how easy he made that first hour in Santo Domingo feel — maybe it sounds small, but it set the tone for everything after.
