Where is Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar?
Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar is part of the Bahia Principe resort complex on Arena Gorda beach, north of Bávaro on the road toward Macao and Uvero Alto. The complex groups several hotels on one site, each with its own lobby: Luxury Ambar (adults only), Luxury Esmeralda, Grand Bávaro and Grand Punta Cana.
From Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) the drive usually takes 35 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic through Bávaro. It is longer than a Cap Cana transfer and shorter than Uvero Alto, which sits further north on the same coast.
How much does the transfer cost?
Arena Gorda is outside our two fixed-rate zones (Bávaro and Cap Cana), so this route is quoted per vehicle before you book. Send your flight, arrival date, number of passengers and bags, and you receive the total in writing by WhatsApp before any payment. The quote is per vehicle, not per person, and does not change by time of day.
For reference, the published one-way rates to Bávaro and Cap Cana are listed on each route page.
Bilingual EN/ES chauffeur · bottled water · on-board Wi-Fi · waiting time · flight monitoring. Transport carries no ITBIS; only optional extras are taxed at 18%. No night surcharge. A 50% deposit confirms the booking; no-penalty cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup (only the payment method's transaction fee is deducted).
Where does the chauffeur meet you at PUJ?
Outside the arrivals exit, at the curb, with a sign bearing your name; the airport does not allow drivers into the terminal. If you arrive through the VIP lounge, the chauffeur waits right outside it. We monitor your flight, so an early landing or a long delay is never charged. VIP Fast Track through immigration is available as an optional add-on per passenger; tell us when you book.
Name the right lobby: Ambar is not the whole complex
The Bahia Principe site is large and every hotel has its own reception. When you book, give the resort name exactly as it appears on your confirmation: Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar. The chauffeur drives you to the Ambar lobby, not to the complex entrance, and bell staff take the bags from the vehicle.
If part of your group is staying at Luxury Esmeralda or one of the Grand hotels, tell us at booking; the same vehicle can stop at both lobbies.
Which vehicle for your party
Ambar is adults only, so most arrivals are couples or two couples travelling together. The Cadillac Escalade ESV 2026 and the Chevrolet Suburban 2026 each carry up to six passengers and five bags. The Luxury MPV takes six passengers and four bags. For a wedding group or a party with golf bags, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter carries 14 passengers and 14 bags.
Staying longer: hourly chauffeur and the return to PUJ
Some guests keep a chauffeur for a dinner in Bávaro, a round of golf or a day trip. Hourly service has a 3-hour minimum and is explained on the executive chauffeur page. For the return to PUJ, we recommend a pickup about three and a half hours before an international departure, to allow for the longer drive from Arena Gorda.
What to check before you book any transfer
- Per vehicle or per person? Get the total for your party in writing.
- Model and year. Ask which vehicle class is guaranteed.

- Deposit and cancellation window.
- Registered company, insured for passengers. Ask for the company name.
