The Experience
“Don’t worry, I’ll be right there with the sign — you can’t miss me,” our driver, Andrés, had messaged on WhatsApp the night before we landed in Punta Cana. I’d been nervous about finding the right person at PUJ (airports always get me flustered), but sure enough, as soon as we stepped out into that thick Caribbean air, there he was, grinning and waving my name on a board. The airport smelled faintly of sunscreen and coffee — not what I expected, but kind of perfect after an overnight flight.
The drive to our Bavaro hotel was smoother than I thought it’d be. Andrés chatted with us about where he grew up (Higüey, just down the road), and pointed out the way the palm trees lean because of the wind here. He even helped us connect to the free Wi-Fi at the airport so we could text home. The car’s AC was a relief — honestly, stepping outside felt like walking into a sauna. My partner tried asking for music in Spanish; Andrés laughed and put on some bachata anyway. It felt easy, not forced.
I didn’t expect how much those first 30 minutes would set the tone for our whole trip. No crowds or confusion — just a quiet ride watching locals zip by on scooters and seeing flashes of color from roadside fruit stands. When we pulled up to our hotel lobby, Andrés waited until we found our room number before leaving (he said it helps them confirm pickups later). It’s these little things that stick with me — someone looking out for you when you’re tired and new somewhere.
