As you come into Santo Domingo, follow John F. Kennedy to M?ximo G?mez (where the huge pedestrian bridge is) Turn right. At the major intersection with 27 de Febrero, turn left. Follow the signs to Las Americas or Boca Chica.
Then follow the signs to La Romana, Then follow the signs to Higuey. then follow the signs to Bavaro-Punta Cana. There is a right turn at a light after you leave Higuey proper that is not too well marked, and the light is often not working.
IF you start to come upon signs that do NOT refer to PUNTA CANA you will know to turn around.
Good Luck, it is a beautiful spot.
Stop at T?pico Bonao or Turey on the way down to Santo Domingo.
Lots of nice places to stop on the way to Hig?ey....
Enjoy,,,it is about a 71/2 hour drive with few stops...
Take $30 in coins for the toll leaving Santo Domingo.
