Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) to Family Selection at Grand Palladium Select Bávaro
Family Selection at Grand Palladium Select Bávaro is a family enclave within Grand Palladium Select Bávaro, which is itself one hotel in the Grand Palladium complex at Avda. Francia s/n, Playas de Bávaro.
Three levels of naming, in other words: complex, hotel, enclave. A transfer request that keeps only the first two is not wrong, but it is incomplete, and incomplete is what produces confused arrivals.
The remedy is small. Write "Family Selection" into the booking along with the reservation name, and the destination on the job sheet is then as specific as your hotel reservation is.
Typical driving time to the Bávaro–Macao zone, where the resort sits: about 45 min from Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) (30 km). These are zone-level figures for the whole Bávaro–Macao dispatch zone rather than one property — every resort on this coast dispatches from the same routing row. Dispatch planning figure from our own zone matrix, and actual times vary with traffic. Driving estimates exclude immigration, baggage claim and hotel check-in.

Book my Family Selection transferThree levels, one destination
A complex is a street address. A hotel is a business at that address. An enclave is a booking category within that hotel. Only the third one describes what you actually reserved.
We record all three because each answers a different question, and because a shared shuttle manifest usually records only the first. Where the official Palladium site lists several hotels at the same address, the level of detail on the booking is what decides whether a driver has one plausible destination or five.
What we do not claim
We make no statement about a separate entrance, a private check-in, dedicated facilities or anything else about how the enclave operates. We have not verified those things, so we do not publish them.
That restraint is deliberate. Transfer pages that invent arrival choreography set expectations the hotel never agreed to, and the guest is the one who discovers the discrepancy. What we do commit to is the destination wording, the timing and the vehicle, which are ours to control.
Both capacities have to fit
Our fleet page publishes a passenger and a luggage figure for every class: two and two for the Small SUV, five and five for the Minivan, six and six for the Full-Size SUV, sixteen and sixteen for the Mercedes Sprinter, fifty for the Large Bus.
Family arrivals fail the second figure more often than the first. Travel cots, buggies, beach gear and a fortnight of clothes add up faster than the head count suggests. Tell us the number of pieces and we choose from that; classes, not individual models, are what we assign.
Say Family Selection in full
Enter the flight, the party and the hotel name including the words Family Selection. That phrase is what distinguishes your booking from the wider hotel and the wider complex.
Child seats, requested in advance
Child seats are requested at booking, with the number of children and their ages. A seat is on board because it was asked for, never because it was assumed.
Seats occupy passenger places, so a party of six with two seats is not a six-seat party for our purposes. Getting this right in the booking form takes a moment and it removes the worst possible surprise at the end of a long flight.
Arrival at Punta Cana Airport (PUJ)
We monitor the inbound flight, and the chauffeur waits up to two hours after landing at no extra charge. Delays are planned around rather than charged for.
The meeting point reaches you in writing before departure, which is worth a great deal when you land with children and a loaded trolley. The Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) hub describes the arrival, and VIP fast track attaches to the same booking if you want the terminal handled quickly.
The figure above, and what it covers
The drive number above comes from our Bávaro–Macao dispatch zone. Every hotel and enclave at this address plans against the same figure, because they are the same journey.
It is road time only, moving with traffic, and it excludes immigration, baggage claim and check-in. That is why we anchor the pickup to your flight rather than to a clock. The Bávaro destination guide covers what is around you once you arrive.
The rest of the complex
The official site also lists Grand Palladium Punta Cana Resort & Spa, Grand Palladium Palace Resort Spa and TRS Turquesa at this address, and we publish pages for those arrivals too.
Multi-generational trips sometimes book across two of them, which means two confirmed drop-offs on one street. Give us both names at booking. For the adults-only side, see our TRS Turquesa transfers page.
Departure day
We agree the return in advance under the same full name, timing it from your flight and the airline's check-in window rather than from the drive alone.
If you are leaving heavier, tell us while we confirm and the class changes accordingly. Cancellations follow our standing policy: full refund fourteen or more days before pickup, partial refund or a one-year credit inside that window, nothing refundable inside forty-eight hours.

This page describes an arrival, not a property. It states only where the property is, which airport serves it and what the resort itself publishes about transfers; it makes no claim about rooms, rates, facilities or awards. Confirm any resort detail with the property.
Airport names, terminal layouts and flight schedules are the airports' and airlines' own and change without notice; confirm your own itinerary with your airline. Driving figures on this page come from our routing dataset, are planning figures that vary with traffic, and exclude immigration, baggage claim and hotel check-in. Where the dataset holds no figure for a pair, this page makes the point without a number rather than estimating one.
