Hi,
I'm looking to see if travelling from Punta Cana or Puerto Plata to Santo Domingo is better with a family with a 4 year old and an infant. Basically which is safer and easier on kids (first time to the DR but we are used to travelling where there are bikes and animals and the highway and people don't use their car lights at night).
Our travel agent has told us that the trip from Punta Cana would be better with young kids but I've not seen anything on these forums or elsewhere that would indicate that (nothing that compares the two options at least).
We will be flying into the DR one-way in order to catch a cruise ship so we only have a choice of POP or PUJ as airports without being faced with insane one-way ticket prices. We hope to spend a few days in Santo Domingo and perhaps a couple of days around whichever airport in order to get some beach time. If we didn't have the kids we would take something like Caribe Tours to get to Santo Domingo, but we may opt for one of the taxis recommended here.
thanks very much in advance
