Riu

wow you are gonna love riu resorts i stayed at Riu Bachata last year and it was great. Unfortunately i was local at the time so im not sure how much the taxi ride will cost. Take advantage of the midnite strolls on the beach.

Sorry to hijack this thread but in addition to how much will they cost i would also like to know how late at night you can get transport back from cabarete to Playa Dorada.

If its gone midnight do you pretty much have to put up with their price or do you have other options to look for a better one?

POP to Sosua 20 minutes and *$6-$10

POP to Caberete 25-30 minutes *$6-$15

POP to Santiago about an hour and $30-$50

*Public taxis are much cheaper.
Resort taxis run higher.

Is this per person or for the whole taxi? Can you find the price changes at all for later at night?

Cheers

For instance, in Sosua if there are 4-5 taxis the price is the same but if there is only 1 then YES! Having been here 25 times I use the same guys. If you are in town a week, get their numbers if you like them. Some are better than others.

If we are planning to go off into Cabarete from Playa Dorada and return late.......how does that change things? Do the taxis bump up their prices? Is it ever too late to get one?

Any advice would be great! :)

Usually you would hire a taxi for the day or night and he stays with you. I usually pay $45 from Sosua to Santiago leaving at 9PM returning around 2-3AM.

There are taxis in Caberete until 3am and the prices are posted on the taxi stand.
