Things you should know before your arrival
- Pick-up service, which gets you from the Puerto Plata airport to the hotel for a fee of $50.00 USD and from the Santiago airport for a fee of $130.00 USD. Choosing this service means someone will be waiting for you at the exit of the airport with your name on a sign the day of your arrival. If you do choose this service, please send us an email providing your travel itinerary. Phoenix Spa and Resort Condominium has a shuttle that takes you to restaurants, night clubs, and the beach in Cabarete and Sosua. The charge for this shuttle is $70.00 USD per couple for the week. The shuttle runs from 8 AM to 11 PM. It is recommended to use our shuttle instead of renting a car since driving in Cabarete is not as easy as in the US or Canada.
- The hotel has everything you need (kitchen supplies, bedding, beach towels, etc.)
- In case of emergency or sudden illness, at one’s disposal we offer 24-hour on site Doctor (all international health insurance accepted)
- Exchanging your money at the airport would be unwise due to the high exchange rate; a staff member will gladly take you to a bank that the hotel is affiliated with. The current rate is approximately 49.5 pesos=$1 USD. (For an exact exchange rate please confirm with front desk, exchange rate may change daily)
- If you need to rent a car, we have a special rate for our clients. The rental location is at the airport. It’s called Nelly. The phone number is 809-586-0505 or 809-480-8871.

- The beach is not onsite; however, it is a safe, 10 minute walk or 3 minutes via our shuttle
