How to Get From La Romana International Airport (LRM) to Moon Palace Punta Cana Grand

La Romana International Airport (LRM) is a popular entry point for travelers heading to the eastern coast of the Dominican Republic, particularly those connecting through smaller regional or charter carriers, or combining a Casa de Campo stay with time at Moon Palace Punta Cana Grand. The drive from LRM to the resort covers roughly 70 km along the coastal highway, putting most transfers at 45 minutes to about an hour, traffic depending. Here's how to plan the trip.

Option 1: Private Airport Transfer Service

A private transfer is the most straightforward way to get from LRM to Moon Palace Punta Cana Grand. LRM is a smaller, low-traffic airport, so arrivals move quickly — and a pre-booked private driver means you walk out of the terminal straight to your vehicle, with no line for a shared shuttle and no waiting on other passengers' luggage. Your driver tracks your flight in advance, so even if you land early or are delayed, someone is there when you arrive.

For the coastal highway drive to the resort, a private vehicle also means a smoother, air-conditioned, non-stop ride directly to Moon Palace's entrance, with the option to choose a sedan, SUV, or van depending on your group size and luggage.

Option 2: Resort-Arranged Transportation

Moon Palace Punta Cana Grand offers transportation packages through the resort or your booking platform, which can be bundled with your stay. These tend to run at a premium compared to independent transfers and, since LRM is not the resort's primary airport, availability and scheduling for resort-arranged pickups here can be more limited than for PUJ arrivals. It's worth checking pricing and confirmed pickup windows before relying on this option.

Option 3: Taxi Service

Taxis are available at LRM and can make the trip to Punta Cana, though as with most Dominican airports, fares aren't metered and should be agreed upon before departure. Since LRM sees less air-shuttle infrastructure than PUJ, taxi wait times can vary, and drivers may not always track flight delays the way a booked private service does.

Option 4: Rental Car

Renting a car at La Romana Airport is an option if you'd like flexibility to visit Casa de Campo, Bayahibe, or Altos de Chavón during your trip before or after your resort stay. For a direct one-way transfer to Moon Palace, though, the added cost of insurance and drop-off logistics usually outweighs the benefit for guests planning a straightforward all-inclusive stay.

Option 5: Ride-Sharing Apps

Ride-sharing coverage around LRM is limited compared to larger hubs like Santo Domingo or Punta Cana, and pickup availability directly at the terminal can be inconsistent. Most travelers arriving at this smaller airport find a pre-arranged private transfer far more dependable for a resort-bound trip.

Why a Private Transfer Works Best From LRM

LRM's smaller size means faster arrivals, but that only helps if your onward transportation is just as dependable. A private, pre-booked shuttle from La Romana Airport to Moon Palace Punta Cana Grand takes the guesswork out of the coastal drive — flight tracking, a driver who knows the route, and a fixed price agreed before you land.
