Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) to Grand Palladium Select Bávaro
Grand Palladium Select Bávaro is a family hotel in the Grand Palladium complex at Avda. Francia s/n, Playas de Bávaro. Its current name is recent enough that plenty of guests arrive holding an older, shorter version of it.
That matters because the same address also holds Grand Palladium Punta Cana Resort & Spa, Grand Palladium Palace Resort Spa, Family Selection at Grand Palladium Select Bávaro and TRS Turquesa, as the official site lists them.
So we accept whatever your paperwork says and reconcile it to the current name before your arrival, rather than at the curb. What we need from you is the wording exactly as your confirmation has it.
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 Grand Palladium Select Bávaro transferWhy older names are still circulating
Hotels get renamed; confirmations do not. A reservation issued before the change keeps its original wording for as long as the guest keeps the email, and travel documents copied from that email inherit it.
Guests then read their own paperwork to a driver in perfectly good faith, using a name that no longer matches the sign. In a complex where several hotels share one street address, that is precisely the moment a transfer goes to the wrong reception. Bringing the old wording to us in advance removes the ambiguity while it is still cheap to remove.
How we reconcile the two
Put the name as your confirmation shows it into the booking, and add the name your room reservation is held under. We record both against the job.
The chauffeur then works from a destination that is unambiguous in current terms, while your own documents keep saying whatever they have always said. We publish nothing about receptions, entrances or internal arrangements at the property, because we have verified nothing about them; the name reconciliation is the part we can genuinely guarantee.
Capacity, in two numbers
Every class on our fleet page publishes both figures. Small SUV: two passengers, two suitcases. Minivan: five and five. Full-Size SUV: six and six. Mercedes Sprinter: sixteen and sixteen. Large Bus: fifty.
We match your party against both, not just the seats. Cots, pushchairs and sports equipment count as luggage, and a family that fits a Minivan on head count frequently does not fit it on bags. Assignments are by class rather than by model, so what you hold is a published capacity.
Send us the name your confirmation actually shows
Enter your flight, your party and the hotel name as written on your reservation, even if it is an older shortened form. We reconcile it to the current name and hold both.
Children and seats
Child seats are requested at booking, with the number of children and their ages. Nothing is presumed to be in the vehicle unless it was asked for.
Each installed seat also uses a passenger place, so tell us about children the same way you tell us about adults. Declaring generously now is free; discovering the gap in arrivals is not.
Meeting you at Punta Cana Airport (PUJ)
Your flight is monitored, and the chauffeur waits up to two hours after landing at no extra charge. Slow immigration is our planning problem, not your cost.
You receive the meeting point in writing before you fly, which is easier to read at home than in arrivals. The Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) hub walks through the arrival, and VIP fast track can be added to the same booking.
Reading the drive figure above
The number above this section is our Bávaro–Macao dispatch-zone figure, applied to every hotel at this address. One street, one planning number.
It refers to the road alone. Immigration, baggage claim and check-in are outside it, and traffic moves it in both directions, which is why the pickup is timed from your flight rather than from a fixed schedule. The Bávaro destination guide covers the area.
Family Selection and TRS Turquesa nearby
The official site lists Family Selection at Grand Palladium Select Bávaro as an enclave within this hotel, and TRS Turquesa as the adults-only hotel in the complex. Both have their own pages here.
If your booking is actually for the Family Selection enclave, say so, because the wording on the job sheet changes. And if part of your group is adults-only, our TRS Turquesa transfers page covers that side.
The return leg
Departures are agreed in advance under the same reconciled name, timed from your flight and your airline's check-in window rather than from the drive by itself.
Tell us if the luggage has grown over the week and we will re-size the class. Cancellations follow our standing terms: full refund fourteen or more days before pickup, partial refund or a one-year credit inside that window, nothing refundable inside forty-eight hours.

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.
