Punta Cana Airport - Cap Cana: Private round trip shuttle

Summary

Private airport transfer to Hyatt Zilara & Ziva Cap Cana

You’ll be greeted right at Punta Cana Airport by a local driver holding your name sign, then ride in a private shuttle straight to your hotel in Cap Cana — no stops or waiting around. Enjoy cool comfort after your flight and chat with your driver about local tips before arriving relaxed at Hyatt Zilara or Ziva Cap Cana. It’s an easy start you’ll remember long after landing.

What’s the experience like?

We’d barely made it through customs at Punta Cana Airport when I spotted my name — a little crooked, written in blue marker on a white sign. Our driver, José, waved us over with this easy smile and helped with the bags before I could even fumble for my Spanish. The air outside hit me first: warm, thick with that salty-sweet smell you only get near the Caribbean. I was honestly relieved not to have to haggle or wait in line for a taxi. Just straight into the van, doors sliding shut behind us.

The drive to Cap Cana isn’t long — maybe twenty-five minutes if traffic’s kind — but it’s enough time to notice things you’d miss in a big bus. José pointed out where the road splits toward Bávaro (“lots of resorts that way,” he said) and told us about his favorite place for empanadas near our hotel. My partner tried to ask him about local baseball teams; they both laughed at my pronunciation of “Estrellas Orientales.” The van was clean and cool inside, which felt like such a small luxury after the sticky airport crowds.

I kept watching the palms flick past the window, sunlight flashing between them in these weird patterns that made me feel like I was already on vacation — not just shuttling from A to B. No stops, no extra pickups; just our group and this quiet sense of arrival building up as we got closer to Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana. There’s something about being met right at the airport by someone who knows exactly where you’re going — it takes away that first-day travel tension. I still think about how simple it all felt compared to other trips where we’d gotten lost or stuck waiting around.
