CAICALI III

Terminal B’s overlooked bar: CAICALI III

Terminal B has big names like Wendy’s and Nathan’s, and CAICALI III sits in their shadow as a small bar/café that most flyers barely mention. It’s airside in Terminal B, so you reach it after security and before the main international gates. Signage in PUJ often just lists “bar” or “cafeteria,” so keep an eye out specifically for the CAICALI III nameboard when you walk toward the mid‑terminal gates.

Hours aren’t clearly published, but most Terminal B spots operate around typical departure waves, roughly aligning with morning and afternoon bank times for US and Canadian flights. Expect the usual airport bar mix: bottled beer, basic mixed drinks, soft drinks, and simple café snacks in the US$5–12 range, similar to other bars in PUJ. If you’re flying out of gates in the central block of Terminal B, CAICALI III can be a shorter walk than backtracking to the larger fast‑food counters near security.

Food options at CAICALI III skew light: think packaged snacks, maybe a sandwich or toast-type item, closer in scale to a kiosk than a full restaurant. Pricing at Punta Cana generally runs high for what you get, and you can easily spend US$15–20 per person if you pair a drink with a small bite. If you want a full meal before a long-haul, you’re usually better timing something in town or at your resort rather than relying on this bar to fill you up.

Because CAICALI III barely shows up in traveler reports, manage expectations: it’s mainly a spot to sit, charge your phone for 20–30 minutes, and have a drink before boarding. Seating can be tight in Terminal B at peak times, so grabbing a stool here can beat standing near a crowded gate. One practical tip: check your boarding time and walk distance first, then cap your stay at CAICALI III so you’re at your gate at least 25 minutes before departure in case of early boarding calls.
