The perfect Dominican spot with one of the country’s least percentile of precipitation (it almost doesn't rain), a great condition to guaranty a wonderful outdoor vacation. Personnel included: Our maid is available for daily cleaning and our gardener sleeps on the premises in a hut outside to assure your safety and comfort. Punta Rucia is located at 60 km from Puerto Plata city. Our driver is always available for airport pick up and drop-off from Puerto Plata or Santiago’s International Airport for a maximum of 4 guests + luggages in our SUV and in our Chevrolet Express van we offer services for up to 8 plus luggages. The use of Blue Island's catamaran is available at an extra cost, including an experienced captain and all the necessary equipment. Additional Information & FEES: We offer airport pick up/ drop off: for parties up to 8 people we charge US$200 each way for airport pickup and drop-off from and to the airports mentioned above. Our drive does the pick-up and drop-off in our van. This is paid when the service is offered. In the pick up we include one hour waiting at the supermarket, if other stops are required the cost is USD$50 extra per hour or hour fraction. If pick up or drop off are in night time (6:00 pm- 8:00 am) the cost is USD$300. We really don't recommend our guests to rent cars as traffic can get very hectic (a lot of people don't respect the traffic signs and there are a LOT of motorcycles), streets aren't well signaled and GPS (or google map) is not to be trusted, as it can take you off roads. We have had guests taking up to 8 hours when we usually take 1.5-2 hours from the airport to the house. Most of our guests who rent cars regret doing so. But of course this is ultimately your decision. We have a BBQ, but charcoal is not included and is to be bought in the supermarket. In Punta Rusia there is only a very small market with the most basic items: eggs, salt, sugar, sodas, beer, tropical fruits and vegetables, generic toilet paper and very fresh seafood. We offer complimentary but limited amounts of coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, toilet paper, body soap, shampoo and conditioner. We also supply unlimited drinking water. Our maid offers cooking services from USD$20-50 per day depending on how many meals you would like her to prepare (1-3 meals per day). This price includes the cooking service and cleaning the dishes afterwards, all ingredients must be supplied by you. Her specialty is fresh seafood and Dominican food. We always recommend our guests the use of mosquito repellent and sunscreen, you can get these at the supermarket. There are no pharmacies or ATM in town, you can find these at the airport or supermarket in the city you fly into. Check in at your arrival is at 2 pm the earliest and check out at your departure is at 11 am the latest. Failing to leave the premises on time will result into a fine of USD$ 100 per hour to be discounted from the security deposit. There will be a late check in and early check out (9 pm to 7 am) charge of USD$ 25 each, only if our pick up/ drop off service is not used. Maximum capacity is 6 people, including children from 2 years of age and on, if more people were to sleep in the house a fine will apply of USD$ 50 per extra person per night.
