An adults-only arrival should start calmly
Secrets Royal Beach sits on the Bavaro beachfront, an easy drive from PUJ. The arrival is the one part of the trip most likely to go sideways, so we keep it simple: one driver, one vehicle, your name on a sign, no shared shuttle.
What is included
- Meet and greet inside the arrivals hall at your terminal.
- Live flight tracking and free waiting time on airport arrivals.
- A private vehicle assigned to your luggage and party size.
- Bilingual drivers, cold drinks, air conditioning and onboard Wi-Fi.
Worth adding
Many guests heading to the adults-only resorts add VIP fast track so they clear immigration and customs through a private lane and meet the driver at a separate exit. It can be bought with the transfer, or on its own.

Getting to Secrets Royal Beach: which airport
Secrets Royal Beach sits on the Bávaro beach corridor north 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 Bávaro page.
Typical driving time: about 29 min from Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) · 139 min from Santo Domingo (SDQ) · 69 min from La Romana (LRM). Driving times via Google Maps routing, computed August 2026 — actual times vary with traffic.
Your arrival day at Secrets Royal Beach
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. 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 reference points on this stretch are Bávaro's beachfront and El Cortecito, the small beach town in the middle of the corridor.
Leaving Secrets Royal Beach: 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.
