STI airport transfer to Playa Dorada

What Playa Dorada is, exactly

Playa Dorada is the gated all-inclusive complex on Puerto Plata's north coast, built around its own golf course and a shared beach, distinct from the open Malecón side of the city. Inside the gates sit resorts such as Casa Colonial Beach & Spa, Viva Heavens by Wyndham, Blue Jack Tar and the Playa Dorada golf hotels including VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort and VH Atmosphere. The drive from STI crosses the Cordillera Septentrional on the paved Gregorio Luperón highway, a scenic but winding pass that accounts for most of the 60 to 80 minute drive time. Because Playa Dorada is a single security-controlled complex with one main entrance, the driver clears the gate once and then follows the internal road to your specific resort — tell us which one when you book so there is no confusion at the barrier.
