I am looking for a shuttle service/shared ride from STI airport to a hotel in Puerto Plata (Grand Oasis Marien). I am ariving by myself this Thursday, people I am joining arrive the day before, and I don't want to take a taxi (~90-100$ quotes I got so far) all for myself.

Does anybody know any shuttle service to share a ride? Or any other service that has cost of 40-60$ instead of 90$ (for this price I could rent a car for 4-5 days but don't want to drive as this is my first visit and I don't speak Spanish). There must be a lot of people arriving to STI and transferring to Puerto Plata hotels looking for a ride but I could not find any shuttle info.


I am arriving at 10.30am on Thursday 27th by JetBlue.


Thanks.

Your best bet is to take a taxi from STI to the Caribe Tours Bus station in Santiago, then take Caribe Tours to Puerta Plata, then take a taxi to your resort. This should all be done for $30-$40 USD total, depending how good you are at negotiating with taxi's in Spanish!
