The Cygnus is how a lot of us actually get around Bavaro, and it works just as well for guests. Twist the throttle and you are off, no clutch, no stress, just a light automatic scooter built for short hops between your hotel, the beach, and the little colmado on the corner. It seats two, so bring a friend or your partner and keep the ride loose. Traffic near the Punta Cana strip crawls at times, and a scooter lets you slide past the queue and park almost anywhere. Stick to the service roads and leave the Autovia del Coral to the cars, since this is a town machine at heart. We bring it to your hotel with helmets and insurance sorted, from $15 a day. Fuel is cheap and a tank lasts most of a week of beach runs.
