between the traffic during the day in Santiago, the trucks( going both ways, thus cutting down on passing) along Route 5 to Puerto Platta, and the construction mess route 5 is currently, all through Puerto Platta itself.............there is no way a sane person makes that trip in 1 hour and 30 minutes......
I think route 25 is the fastest way to the Playa Dorado area, and POP airport from STI.....route 21 is faster to cabarette, to Sosua both 21 and 25 are about the same.....at least the way i drive.
If you get car sick easy...take Route 5...the long way.....just enjoy the sights....
I went to Sosua last week via route 5 ..maybe 1 or 2 cars passed me the whole trip....I passed 100s of cars, and trucks... and it still took over 2-1/4 hours.
The Bus probably only takes the rte 5, route... and they Haul, when they have room!!!! but they cant pass many trucks...
take the taxi..its more money but remember the driver has to come back!! and he probably doesnt get a fare to drive on the way back either...
