Booked before you fly, straight to the resort
A private transfer means the vehicle is yours alone. We take your flight number when you book, watch the flight, and put a chauffeur inside the arrivals hall with a welcome tablet showing your name. From there it is one vehicle, one stop: Secrets Cap Cana.
There is nothing to arrange at the curb, no shared shuttle filling up with other resorts' guests, and no waiting for a driver to be dispatched after you land.
Secrets Cap Cana
Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa is an adults-only all-inclusive resort. It sits inside Cap Cana, the gated community south of the airport, which is the part of the arrival most guests ask us about.
The Cap Cana gate is our job, not yours
Cap Cana controls its own access. Our chauffeurs drive into the community every day and know the checkpoint routine, so it is handled while you stay seated. We confirm your exact resort — or your villa address, if you are staying privately — when you book, because gate directions differ from one property to the next inside the community.
Afternoon arrivals are the busy window
Most flights into PUJ from North America land in the afternoon, which is when the taxi rank is at its worst and vehicle availability is tightest. Booking in advance is what protects both your vehicle class and your departure time from the terminal.
Which vehicle you need
Capacity comes straight from our booking system. Vehicle model is assigned by class, not by specific model.
- Small SUV (Volvo XC40) — up to 2 passengers and 2 suitcases. Couples travelling light.
- Minivan (Hyundai Staria) — up to 5 passengers and 5 suitcases. The usual choice for a family.
- Full-Size SUV (Ford Expedition Max) — up to 6 passengers and 6 suitcases, with the luggage room for golf clubs.
- Mercedes Sprinter — up to 16 passengers and 16 suitcases, for a wedding party or multi-family group.
- Large Bus — up to 50 passengers, for a full group movement.
The whole range, with photography, is on the fleet page. If you would rather keep a car and chauffeur for the week instead of a one-way arrival, that is our private chauffeur service.
Add VIP Fast Track to the arrival
If you want to skip the immigration and customs queues, VIP Fast Track can be added to the same arrival and handed to your chauffeur at the private exit. It is the fastest version of a Cap Cana arrival, and it is worth it on the busy afternoon flight bank.
Rates
We do not publish rates in articles. Enter your flight and party size in the booking form and you will see a fixed, all-in quote for your vehicle before you pay anything.
Route detail, review evidence and vehicle fit for the whole community are on our Punta Cana airport to Cap Cana page. We are also the official transportation of the Hyatt Ziva and Zilara resorts at Cap Cana, inside the same community.
Getting to Secrets Cap Cana: which airport
Secrets Cap Cana sits inside the gated Cap Cana community just south of the airport. Punta Cana International (PUJ) is the primary gateway and the airport most guests use. Santo Domingo Las Américas (SDQ) is the alternative, with a wider spread of international flights and often cheaper fares. We run the transfer as a single private vehicle from either one, so the decision is usually about flight schedules and fares rather than logistics. Route detail for the area is on our Punta Cana airport to Cap Cana page.
Typical driving time: about 22 min from Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) · 132 min from Santo Domingo (SDQ) · 62 min from La Romana (LRM). Driving times via Google Maps routing, computed August 2026 — actual times vary with traffic.
Your arrival day at Secrets Cap Cana
We take your flight number at booking and monitor the flight, so your pickup follows the arrival that actually happens. Your chauffeur is waiting inside the arrivals hall with a tablet showing your name, helps with the luggage, and there is cold bottled water in the vehicle. From there it is one direct drive to the resort lobby. The community is gated, and your chauffeur handles the gate process on arrival — we confirm the resort or villa address at booking so there is nothing for you to sort out at the entrance. You also have two hours of free waiting time after landing, which covers a slow immigration hall or a late bag.
Ride-hailing is not a fallback here: pickup by app-based cars at Punta Cana Airport is restricted, which is why a pre-booked transfer is the reliable arrangement — the detail is in can I take an Uber at Punta Cana airport.
The public landmarks inside the community are Playa Juanillo and the Marina at Cap Cana; both are within Cap Cana itself, so your chauffeur passes the same gate either way.
Leaving Secrets Cap Cana: your departure pickup
Our dispatch schedules the return pickup around your departure flight and keeps watching it for changes. Before the pickup we reconfirm the details with you — passenger count, luggage and the exact meeting point at the resort — so the vehicle that arrives is the right size for what you are travelling home with. If your flight time moves, the pickup moves with it; we do not hold you to a fixed hour set weeks earlier.
