Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) to La Romana

From Punta Cana Airport to La Romana is about 80 km, 55 to 80 minutes on the Autovía del Coral, depending on whether you're going to Casa de Campo, the town center or the hotels west of the city. In 2026 the official taxi is quoted at about US$100 to US$120 per vehicle, and a private transfer costs around US$90 to US$130.

La Romana is a sugar town with a cruise port, and most people arriving from PUJ head to Casa de Campo, the big golf, marina and villa resort with Altos de Chavón, or to the Hilton and Bahía Príncipe hotels on the coast. Before booking, check for flights into La Romana (LRM): it is about 10 minutes from Casa de Campo, though it has few scheduled flights.

Reference prices (2026)

Approximate 2026 prices, one way, to Casa de Campo or central La Romana. The official taxi is quoted at about US$100 to US$120 per vehicle. The Bahía Príncipe hotels, between La Romana and San Pedro de Macorís, are farther and usually cost a little more.

Tolls

One or two Autovía del Coral booths (Coral II and Coral I), about RD$100 each for a car since January 2025, roughly US$1.60 per booth. Usually included in the transfer.

The drive

The route matches the Bayahíbe one up to the turnoff: the Punta Cana roundabout, the Autovía del Coral with the Coral II toll, sugarcane and pasture. Instead of exiting for Bayahíbe, the car continues toward La Romana, passes near the Chavón River and either enters Casa de Campo through its gate or carries on into town.

Traffic is light until the Casa de Campo turnoff. Crossing La Romana is another matter: city streets, motoconchos and traffic lights can add 15 to 20 minutes if your hotel is west of town, like the Bahía Príncipe resorts toward San Pedro de Macorís. On cruise days there is more traffic around the center.

Casa de Campo has a controlled entrance, so the driver will need the guest's name or villa number.

Which option suits you

For Casa de Campo, ask the resort or your villa management first: they usually arrange transfers and the gate entry. Otherwise a pre-booked private transfer (US$90 to US$130) is the most comfortable choice, tolls included and no stops. The official taxi costs about the same or a little more.

Shared shuttles (US$25 to US$50 per person) run to La Romana but are often combined with Bayahíbe, so the ride can exceed 90 minutes. Uber is possible, but few drivers happily take a trip of over an hour from the airport, so don't count on it.

If you're spending the week at Casa de Campo, renting a golf cart inside the resort is more useful than a car for the highway. And if you find a flight into LRM, the transfer shrinks to a few minutes.
