I would suggest you contact Bronly de Jesus at ibkservicios@gmail.com and he will quote you a price and arrange a pick up.

If you haven't, it's worth checking if your hotel/tour company offers an airport pick-up service.

Hello Michal,

Bavaro is a large area and the taxi fixed fare prices range about US$28 to $38depending on distance of destination from airport.

What is your final destination?

Regards,
PJT

If it is the Barcelo Resort and Convention Center you are staying at and noting I have a residence nearby, then the fare should be in the US $28 range.

Note: The Carretera Mecad is a new one for me

Enjoy your stay.

Regards,
PJT

Barcelo Punta Cana is the Barcelo Premium, the former Breezes Punta Cana. While it is technically not Bavaro, as you know Tour Operators take great license with the use of names like Bavaro and Punta Cana.

The taxi rate will be about $45US mas o menos one way for up to 5 passengers.

It's hard to stay current with changes in the zone. Growth has been explosive. The commerce has been boom and bust and with that changes in business names and owners. It like playing a game of Monopoly, that as you play the owners and names the properties change so fast in one cycle around the board the bank can't keep up with the transactions.


Regards,
PJT
