Arriving in Punta Cana can be overwhelming, but meeting your private driver right at the airport makes everything easier. You’ll skip lines, ride in an air-conditioned vehicle straight to Majestic Colonial, and get helpful tips from locals along the way—little moments of calm you’ll remember long after your trip.
I’ll admit, I was a little on edge landing in Punta Cana — airports always do that to me. But as soon as we cleared customs, there was Julio’s message on my phone (he’d texted the day before too, which honestly helped calm my nerves). Our driver was right there with a sign, smiling like he actually meant it. The air outside was thick and sweet, almost syrupy, and I remember my daughter wrinkling her nose and then laughing about it. It felt good to just walk past the crowds and know exactly where we were going.
The drive to Majestic Colonial wasn’t long — maybe 30 minutes? — but it felt like a small window into the real Punta Cana. Palm trees flickered by, and our driver pointed out a roadside fruit stand with mangoes stacked high (“best ones are in June,” he said). The van was cool inside, which I appreciated more than I expected after that first blast of Caribbean heat. No random stops or awkward detours; just us heading straight for the resort. There’s something quietly reassuring about not having to negotiate or explain anything after a flight — you just get in and go.
On the way back to the airport, our driver showed up early at the lobby (I’m still not sure how he managed that with all the traffic), and helped us load up without any fuss. My son tried out his Spanish on him — “Gracias por todo!” — and got a big grin in return. It’s funny what sticks with you: that easy feeling of being looked after, even if it’s just for a short ride. I still think about that first breath of humid air stepping off the plane.
