Hi, I'm new to the forum, as I am currently looking at possibly planning a trip to Dominican Republic next January and am trying to get info, mostly with regards to transport options. I apologise if this has been answered before - I have tried to find relevant threads both here and on Thorntree, but have only managed to find one mention of one shuttle company, so I don't even know if they come recommended or what other options are available. So I would be extremely grateful if anyone here can help. My main query is how to arrange transport from Bayahibe (we would most likely be staying in the village) to Saman? - specifically to the Dominican Treehouse village, which I believe is about a 15 min drive from Santa B?rbara de Saman?. I know there would be the option to get a bus to Santo Domingo and then another bus from there, but it would take too long on our limited timeframe, so I want to see if it's possible to get a shuttle service/taxi, and get an idea of expected costs involved. Are there any recommended companies with whom one can arrange such a thing in advance, or would it be best to do it through the hotel? Also we would be flying into Punta Cana late enough and would need to go straight to Bayahibe, so again, should I arrange a taxi in advance through the hotel, or what is the best thing to do and again what kind of price should I expect to pay? We haven't booked any hotels yet, as this is all at planning stage, but in Bayahibe we would most likely go for Hotel Villa Baya, just in case that is of relevance to the question. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.
