Is the $55 price per person or per vehicle?

Per vehicle. $55 Standard covers 1–6 passengers with luggage in one private car, taxes and tolls included — the same figure whether you are two people or six. VIP is $95 for the same group in a luxury SUV or executive van. Groups of 7–14 move to a passenger van: +$20 on Standard, +$40 on VIP.

Where does the driver meet us at Hacienda Samana Bay Hotel?

In the AZS arrivals hall with a name sign, then a direct 45–60 minute private drive to Hacienda Samana Bay Hotel. The approach is from the Avenida Malecón; the driver stops at the hotel's own entrance rather than on the seafront road.

Is this the same price as Las Terrenas?

No — Samaná town is $55 Standard and $95 VIP one-way per vehicle, while Las Terrenas hotels are $60 Standard and $99 VIP. Samaná town is a shorter run from AZS than Las Terrenas, so the rate is lower. If your booking is actually at a Las Terrenas resort, tell us the property name on WhatsApp and we quote the Las Terrenas rate instead.

How long is the transfer from AZS to Hacienda Samana Bay Hotel?

A direct private drive of about 45–60 minute in normal conditions, door to door from the AZS arrivals hall to Hacienda Samana Bay Hotel.

Is the price to Hacienda Samana Bay Hotel the same as the Samaná town rate?

Where Hacienda Samana Bay sits and where we stop

Hacienda Samana Bay Hotel is a hotel on the malecón side of Santa Bárbara de Samaná, above the bay. The transfer from Samaná El Catey International Airport (AZS) is a direct 45–60 minute private run — no shared shuttle, no stops at other hotels on the way. The approach is from the Avenida Malecón; the driver stops at the hotel's own entrance rather than on the seafront road. Because the flight is tracked, a late landing simply means the driver is already waiting when you clear customs, and the price you were quoted in writing is the price you pay at the end of the drive.

How the pickup works

1Send your flight number, date and party size on WhatsApp — we confirm the price in writing.
2We track the flight, so a delay or an early landing does not change anything.
3Your driver waits in arrivals with a name sign, just past customs.
4Direct 45–60 minute drive from AZS to Hacienda Samana Bay Hotel, with the drop-off point confirmed before the day.

Bigger groups and luggage

Up to six passengers ride in one Standard vehicle at $55. For 7–14 passengers we send a passenger van: +$20 on Standard, +$40 on VIP. Send the luggage count with the booking — golf bags, strollers and car seats are all fine, we just size the vehicle before the day instead of at the curb.
