Transportation Santo Domingo - La Romano
Why are you flying into SDQ instead of La Romana's (not "La Romano") airport? If at a resort, aren't they providing transfer service?stoof said:
I think a lot of the transfers are arranged by the tour companies as part of a package. The hotel may just arrrange a cab anyway (and likely ding you worse than you doing it yourself)
You can take a taxi to LRM for not a King's ransom but it will cost a few bucks. Bright side it sounds like you don't have to pay a lot to get to SDQ though.

With the cost of gasoline these days, the taxi will probably cost you about US$80.00 one way or more, was US$50.00 when gasoline was cheap.
If you feel adventursome, you could take a taxi to the bus depot in Andres/Boca Chica, about 10 min. and about US$5.00 to 10.00 and then a bus to LaRomana for about 80 pesos,(less than US$3.00)

Since the airport taxis want US$18.00 to Boca Chica you will be lucky indeed to get to Andres gua gua stop for $5 or $10 but it is an option. Don't forget he is flying free so $160 R/T to the DR (zero airfare and $160 taxi) is a pretty good vacation at that price, and does not waste time with buses.
forget the adventure
When you get to the airport,try to look like you know what you are doing and neg. a taxi....make sure it's not a gypsy cab and don't pay more than 80 U.S....................maybe you can arrange cheaper transportation back once you get settled in.....the bus idea with a family and luggage would be out of the question for me............
Also contact the hotel, perhaps they can assist you...if they communicate that is......

Or book a taxi online so there is somebody waiting for you with a sign that has your name on it.
