From the first to get about 2.5-3 hours, from the second - 35 minutes. The cost of the transfer, respectively, is very different. But for some reason, no direct flights from Russia have yet been thought up to the capital of the Dominican Republic. Yes, and with their few transfers. You can get there from Moscow by Iberia. Departure from Domodedovo Airport to Madrid, from there to Santo Domingo. From St. Petersburg, you can fly with Air France to Paris, and then to the capital of the Dominican Republic or with the airline Lufthansa + Condor to Frankfurt, and then to Santo Domingo. Perhaps these are not the best options, but you will not have to spend more than two hours on the transfer to the hotel.

The road to the hotel, though long, but the views from the windows of the bus are fantastic. Sometimes the driver on the way stops near the souvenir shops.
There are no direct flights from Russia to La Romana, from where it takes only 30-35 minutes to Juan Dolio.
A little nuance - if you travel, notresorting to the services of intermediaries, a ticket for a direct one-way flight is unlikely to succeed. Be sure to demand to buy a full tour with a round-trip road, paid by the transfer and the hotel.
