Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) to Occidental Punta Cana
Occidental Punta Cana is a resort for families and couples on El Cortecito Beach, at Avenida España in Bávaro. It is one of two Occidental hotels serving this part of the coast.
The other is Occidental Caribe. Both are real, both are Occidental, and neither is a reasonable substitute for the other at the end of a long flight with tired children in the back.
That single ambiguity is what this page exists to close. We put the full published name on the job sheet, check it against your reservation name, and confirm the drop-off in writing before you fly.
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 Occidental Punta Cana transferTwo Occidental hotels, one area
A booking that says only Occidental has named a brand with more than one address here. The consequence is not dramatic, but it is real: a stop at the wrong reception, a phone call, a second drive, and a check-in that happens later than it should have.
We would rather ask you one more question when you book than have a chauffeur interpret half a name in the dark. If your confirmation email from the hotel says Occidental Punta Cana, that is what we carry, along with the El Cortecito Beach address the resort publishes.
El Cortecito, and why the address helps
The resort publishes El Cortecito Beach and an Avenida España address in Bávaro. El Cortecito is a recognisable part of the Bávaro strip rather than an anonymous stretch of coast, and that specificity is useful on a job sheet.
Two identifiers beat one. Brand plus beach plus street is enough for any chauffeur to confirm the destination without guessing, which is the entire purpose of writing it down properly. The Bávaro destination guide covers the area itself.
Families and couples, sized differently
The resort publishes itself for families and couples, and those two arrive with very different luggage. A couple is two cases; a family of five is five cases plus a pram plus a bag of beach equipment.
Our capacities pair passengers with suitcases: the Small SUV at two and two, the Minivan at five and five, the Full-Size SUV at six and six, and the Mercedes Sprinter at sixteen and sixteen. Book from the pair rather than from the head count. The fleet page publishes the list, and we assign by class rather than by individual model.
Punta Cana or Caribe: write the whole name
Enter your flight, your party and the hotel exactly as your reservation reads it. We hold that wording with your booking name, so the chauffeur is never choosing between two Occidental addresses on the day.
Child seats, requested when you book
Give us each child's age at the booking stage and the correct seat is installed before the vehicle leaves for the airport, at the charge published in our policy.
A seat requested on arrival is a seat that may not be in the vehicle. If you are bringing your own, say so, and it is counted as luggage rather than found as a surprise when the boot is loaded.
The drive figure, and where it comes from
This part of Bávaro sits in our Bávaro–Macao dispatch zone, and the figure above is that zone row — the same wording our other Bávaro pages publish, rather than a fresh estimate for this address.
We publish one number per zone on purpose. Consistency across neighbouring pages is worth more than false precision on each of them. The figure covers driving only, varies with traffic, and excludes immigration, baggage claim and hotel check-in.
Your arrival at Punta Cana Airport (PUJ)
Your chauffeur waits inside the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands in, holding a welcome board with your name on it. There is nothing to negotiate at the curb and no rank to queue at.
We monitor the inbound flight and shift the pickup to the real arrival time, waiting up to two hours after landing at no extra charge. The Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) transfers hub covers the arrival in detail, and VIP fast track can be added to the same booking if you would rather skip the immigration and customs queues.
Groups split between the two Occidental hotels
It happens more often than you would think: half a party books one Occidental, half books the other, and everybody assumes they are in the same place until arrival.
Send us both hotel names and both flight numbers and we plan two confirmed drop-offs — one vehicle with two stops when the flights land together, two vehicles when they do not. Either way, nobody is walking between resorts with suitcases.
Departure, and our cancellation terms
We agree the return in advance against the same hotel name, timed from your flight and the airline's check-in window rather than from the drive alone.
If the luggage has grown, tell us and the class is adjusted before the vehicle is assigned. Cancellations follow our standing policy: a full refund fourteen or more days before pickup, a partial refund or a one-year credit inside that window, and nothing refundable inside forty-eight hours.
Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) to Occidental Punta Cana: questions
