Hi everyone,
I have seen this posted on the forum in different topics, but didn't see one topic that gave the complete answer.
I am traveling with 3 other people (4 of us total) into the Dominican Republic. We are arriving into Santiago airport (STI) on a Monday around 10:55 AM. We are staying at the Lifestyle Tropical Resort and Spa on Cofresi Beach. I wanted to confirm that the details I have as to taking public transportation to the resort are correct and is the cheapest option:
1. From the airport, we have to take a taxi to the Caribe Tours bus station in Los Jardines (located at the corner of Calle Maimon and Avenida 27 De Febrerohttp://maps.google.com/, Santiago De Los Caballeros, Rep?blica Dominicana)(is this the closest Caribe Tours bus stop to the STI airport??) that takes approximately a half hour. We were told the cost for the taxi is approximately 600 pesos or $16 US, which equates to 150 pesos per person or $4 US per person. Is this correct?
2. At the Caribe Tours bus terminal, we get on the noon or 1 PM departure Caribe Tours bus from Santiago - Los Jardines to Puerto Plata (we can ask to be dropped off at the Tropical Lifestyle Resort but it is up to the driver...am I correct?) which takes approximately an hour and a half and costs $4 USD or 150 pesos per person.
3. If the driver does not let us off at the resort, we have to take a taxi from the Caribe Tours bus station in Puerto Plata at the corner of Calle Camino Real and Avenida Jos? Eugenio Kounhardt<nobr></nobr>, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic to the Lifestyle Tropical Resort and Spa, Calle Mella, Playa Cofresi 1, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic which takes approximately 15 minutes and costs approximately 600 pesos or $16 US, which equates to 150 pesos per person or $4 US per person.
Is all of this information correct? Sorry for being so detailed; however, we don't speak Spanish and want to make it as easy as possible for us.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
