Questions
I can't answer the first part of your question, never done it.
The nearest airport to the Coral Marien by Hilton is Puerto Plata - about 20 minute drive away.
I would hazard a guess that most scheduled flights from US/Canada are to Santo Domingo or Puerto Plata, from UK most charter flights are to La Romana or Puerto Plata I think.

Punta Cana to the North Coast
There are 4 airports in the DR, Punta Cana, Puerto Plata, Santo Domingo and Santiago. Punta Cana is the one that's furthest from the Hilton Marien. If I were to make a guess as to how long the drive is, i would guess 7-8 hours, Santo Domingo is about 4 hours. Santiago is about 1 1/2 hours and as Dominican Babe said, Puerto Plata is about 20 minutes away.
As for how much a cab would cost, I have no idea, but wouldn't be cheap and do you really want to spend 2 days of your vacation driving?
My suggestion would be to either fly into Puerto Plata or Santiago. If you already have plain tickets, look into finding a place to stay closer to Punta Cana.

Time is about right
Except that POP is at least an hour and fifteen minutes from here, Santiago.
A cab would be atrocious. You could probably fly to POP for ust about the same money and it takes what? maybe 35 or 40 minutes?
I agree: Either find a place at Punta Cana or get a flight to POP or Santiago., or Santo Domingo at worst.
It's like getting a flight to Glasgow to go to Brighton...!!

Sounds like the flight from PC to POP is cheaper than the taxi. I met someone who did it by taxi in February, think they said it was U.S.$125 (only marginally less than their last minute flight from U.K. to PC!!)
A llitle off

This is a little off the subject but lets say I want to take my Novia from PC to POP, what ID will she need. She is Dominican and has no passport.maggiemay said:
