Airport transfers will be provided for all clients going to/from the airport to the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar. If you are extending your stay at another property/location, Global DMC Partners will not be providing transfers for that leg, and we’d ask that you make your way to/from the Connection on your own.  

There are two options for transportation to/from the airport:  

1. Taxis - Taxis are available at the airport and cost around $35 each way. It is a short, 10-minute ride from the airport to the hotel.  
2. Airport Transfers – Our DMC is happy to arrange a private transfer if needed. The cost for an SUV would be $210 each way, for up to 4 people.

Ubers/Ridesharing is not available on the island.

Please indicate during the registration process your plans so we can arrange transfers accordingly. 

Connection attendees may bring one (1) guest to the Connection at a special guest rate of $750. The guest must be at least 21 years of age and must stay in the same hotel room as you. The guest fees cover the following: 

• Hotel room (share with Connection attendee) 
• Transportation to and from the airport (only if arriving at the same time as the attendee). If Guest is arriving on a separate flight, you are responsible for their transportation, options are listed above.
• Meals and afternoon activities 
• This is a fixed package price and remains the same even if the guest chooses not to participate in all activities/meals. Due to space limitations, the ability to bring a guest will be based on availability at the time you register. 

You will receive an invoice from Global DMC Partners shortly after registering, payment can be made via credit card directly through that invoice, bank transfer or check. Payment must be received in order to confirm guest registration.
