Flying from the U.S.
Airports
East Coast & West Coast
The closest airports to the resort are:
Puerto Plata (POP) - 40min to resort
Santiago de los Caballeros airport (STI) - 1.5h
If you’re flying from east coast, you may be able to find direct flights to Puerto Plata and/or Santiago airports, however, for our west coast friends you will need to catch a connecting flight regardless. To minimize flight time a connecting flight in Texas/Florida is best. Santiago will likely be cheaper and have more options than Puerto Plata. Be careful not to mistake the Santiago, Chile airport for Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic.
Travel Requirements
Passport
Passport needs to be valid for a minimum of 6 months from entering Dominican Republic, so if you’re passport is expiring sometime in September or later, you’ll need to get a new passport.
Visa
NO visa is required for U.S. or E.U./U.K citizens so all of our guests should be able to enter Dominican Republic visa free so long as the stay is less than 30 days.
However, given that majority of flights have a connecting flight in the U.S. you will likely need to get a U.S. ESTA Visa to be allowed to transfer at the U.S. airport to the final flight to Dominican Republic.
Customs
Dominican Republic requires tourist to fill out an electronic customs document. One submission per family (up to 7 people in a family). Click HERE to view link to Dominican Republic Immigration website where you fill out the form.
