WhatsAppGuides, tips and everything you need to know to make the most of your stay in Las Terrenas.
Welcome to the hidden paradise of the Samaná Peninsula. When you book your private airport transfer with Canacar.com, your journey to Bahia Principe Grand El Portillo becomes a seamless, stress-free adventure.
Whether you land at Santo Domingo Airport (SDQ) or Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), skipping the crowded public buses and multi-stop resort shuttles is essential. Our premium, climate-controlled vehicles ensure a direct, smooth ride across the island’s most beautiful highways, delivering you straight to the lobby of this secluded tropical sanctuary.
Bahia Principe Grand El Portillo is located in Las Terrenas, a charming, cosmopolitan beach town on the northern coast of the Samaná Peninsula. Known as the Dominican Republic’s best-kept secret, Samaná is worlds away from the flat resort corridors of the east. It is a region defined by dramatic topography, rolling mountains, and millions of coconut palms stretching down to meet the Atlantic Ocean.
The beach at El Portillo is legendary. It features miles of golden sand, calm coral reefs teeming with marine life, and shallow, clear waters that make it feel like a massive natural swimming pool. Las Terrenas itself blends vibrant Dominican culture with a distinct European flair, offering world-class beachfront dining, boutique shopping, and a laid-back, bohemian atmosphere.
The Bahia Principe Grand El Portillo is a gorgeous, upscale, all-inclusive resort designed for families, nature lovers, and adventure seekers. Perfectly integrated into its wild surroundings, the resort offers an authentic Caribbean experience with modern luxury:
A Beachfront Paradise: Situated on a pristine, exclusive stretch of coast where the reef is just steps from your beach towel.
Family & Fun: Features an exciting on-site water park for children, a large lake-style pool, and daily activities ranging from catamaran sailing to scuba diving lessons.
Gourmet Gastronomy: Multiple à la carte restaurants showcasing exquisite French, Italian, and fresh seafood cuisines, alongside lively tropical bars.
The Gateway to Adventure: The resort’s strategic location makes it the perfect basecamp for iconic excursions like the Limon Waterfall, whale watching in Samaná Bay, or exploring the prehistoric caves of Los Haitises National Park.
Seamless Cross-Country Navigation: The route to Samaná features winding mountain passes and toll roads. Our expert, professional drivers know the Autovía del Nordeste perfectly, ensuring a safe and smooth ride.
VIP Meet & Greet: Avoid the airport chaos. Your uniform chauffeur will be waiting outside arrivals holding a personalized sign with your name, ready to load your bags.
No Hidden Fees: Our private transfer rates include all highway tolls, luggage handling, and real-time flight tracking so we are always there on time, even if your flight is delayed.
Spacious Fleet for Adventure Gear: Heading to Samaná often means traveling with extra luggage, hiking boots, or snorkeling gear. Our modern SUVs and private vans offer plenty of legroom and cargo space.
