It depends on your mood — how much you want an active ambiance versus relaxing quiet days in paradise. Whatever your preference, book your airport transfer from Punta Cana before you arrive.
Is Winter the Best Time to Visit?
Winter is high season for Dominican tourism. Many flee the cold, since the country enjoys year-round summer weather. High season runs from Thanksgiving to spring break — more activity, but higher resort rates and airline prices. If crowds and cost don't bother you, this is your window.
Visiting During the Summer
Summer has quieter moments, though the second half of July and all of August fill up with families. You'll find more family travel than couples, so adults-only resorts may offer good deals. Airport transfers are also lower-priced in summer.
The Cheapest Time to Visit
May, September, and October bring better hotel rates, lower airline prices, and lower occupancy. If you can travel those months, you'll enjoy the best value.
Book your transfer ahead of your trip for a smooth arrival.
