I made the trek from PUJ to Santo Domingo last week so I'll outline the cheapest way to get from the airport to Santo Domingo. Note, it is a lot of guaguas (more than I'd be able to tolerate) but for those who have more time than money it should be helpful:

The Four Points Sheraton in Punta Cana has a free airport shuttle. When you land there's a free phone to call the hotel and request a shuttle.

When you get to the hotel, cross to the other side of the main street and walk to the guagua stop. Total walking time from the hotel is a minute. Take the guagua to Veron. Cost is 40 pesos.

At Veron you'll pick up the Bavaro Express which costs 375 pesos and takes you to Santo Domingo. If you're coming on a late afternoon or evening flight, the Bavaro Express won't be running so instead of getting off at Veron on the previous guagua take it straight to Higuey. From there you can take another bus to Santo Domingo.

So ten bucks (and what feels like ten hours) gets you from PUJ to Santo Domingo.
