You step off the plane into warm, salt-tinged air and find a driver waiting with a placard. The van eases onto a coastal road edged by palms; the sea peeks through gaps in the hotel strip as the city of Punta Cana slips into the rearview. In 20–40 minutes you cross low, flat farmland to reach Bávaro’s hotels and local shops — a short ride, but one that can be made richer by a guided stop at cacao groves and a cigar workshop.
