IN what way I drive from airport Santo Domingo to the highway Puerto Plata? (The route)
Or it is better to take the new highway to Samana?

Route airport SD to Puerto Plata
The new hiway will take you about 5 hours.... depending on the time of day... you may be able to slip thru SD and go the old way..... but it will be about the same, I think.
The advantage to the new hiway is the ease of the drive... a breeze... but it is a toll road... so pesos needed
Airport to end of new hiway is 2 hrs ( mas/menos)
Then 3hrs more on hwy #5....all on #5
Not hard

The advice is right, the time is off.
From SDQ go toward SD and stay on the right past the toll lanes to the new Highway. As said, have 500 DP in hand. At the end go left thru Nagua and on thru the towns of RSJ, Cabarete, Sosua on the one main road. It is good paved road now and I did it recently to Sosua in just under 3 hours so make it 3.5 to PP. Suggest you don't do it at night if you can help it, poorly lit. Going the other way has become an excedrin headache with the SD traffic and such.
The old way may be 1/2 faster to PP but not worth the hassle.

Sorry... my error..... about 1 hour to the end of the toll road..... then anothe 2 hours.... +/-.
3/1/2 is safe...... very easy drive...... but avoid darkness

OK now we are on the same page. I do the whole trip to Bavaro in about 5:30 mins on avg unless I stop for liquid refreshments.
