Need transportation from Puerto Plata Airport to Resort! :)

I am looking for an affordable way get from Puerto Plata Airport to My Resort (Be Live Grand Marien), its in 3 weeks and want to see what I can get through here before I hit the streets over there and bargain with a taxi.

I am Dominican and fluent spanish speaker so I can try get a good price but I really don't know what to expect to pay. It will be for two, My girlfriend and Myself. I don't mind doing bus/taxi/metro(lol) just want to get to resort in one piece and with all my bags.

What do you guys suggest? Thanks!


Also Another question, I would like rent a car for 5 days once I am there.. for the last 5 days of vacation. I am 23 years old, do you think its possible to rent it since I am not 25 years old yet? also I don't own any credit cards, Just cash and debit card here. Thanks!!

you can rent it at the airport they just want a deposit from your debit card around 300 or just have the hotel pick you up it should cost around 20 bucks

I asked my driver this morning and he said it would be $600 RD (between fifteen and sixteen dollars, US) with Tecni-Taxi from the airport to the Marien. The eight hundred I paid in March was from a site in San Marcos to the airport - a much longer distance.

If you want his cell phone number, PM me.

Pm'd this is perfect. Any ideas how i can get a cellphone over there cost effective? I used Orange last time i went in 2009.

Because if not i will have to find a way to call taxi, i also want a cellphone becausey dad lives in SD, and hes coming to resort later in week and that would be a perfect way communicate.
