Punta Cana to marina transfers run on a private shuttle, not a shared bus. That means we pick up your hotel, then go — no waiting for 3 other resorts to load. From the marina the boat is usually 10 min walk; for jeep/buggy/horse trips the meeting point is the operator's base camp.

Local intel for best excursions from Paradisus Palma Real Golf & Spa Resort
Three things we tell every guests of Paradisus Palma Real Golf & Spa Resort before booking best excursions from Paradisus Palma Real Golf & Spa Resort: (1) Lobby kiosks resell whatever pays them most that week, not what's best. We book the captain and boat we'd put our own family on. (2) Tip 10% if the crew earned it (they almost always do — most live off tips). It's not mandatory and not included in your rate. (3) WhatsApp is the only sane way to coordinate here. Email gets lost, hotel concierge phones get busy, and you'll want a live thread when the pickup driver is 5 min out. Message us anytime 7 am–11 pm.
