Is there public transportation to the Capital from Punta Cana?

The bus company is Bavaro Express. About 350 Pesos each way. Airport Taxi is about $200.

It's a 3 hour trip and the a/c is strong and the coaches are modern.

If you want to stay at a decent place in the Colonial Zone in Santo Domingo try Hotel El Conde de Penallba. This is an old colonial style hotel in the heart of the historical zone. The rooms are nothing fancy but are generally large and have a/c. Prices per night run around $65-75 per night(plus tax). They have a great outdoor cafe open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and of course drinks and people watching. From here you are right across the plaza from the first church in the new world and walking distance to all the historic buidlings. I have stayed here a number of times and the employees are great and helpful.
