Most tourists stay at the beautiful Casa de Campo, which is a resort complex that features three championship golf courses including the famed "Teeth of the Dog," designed by Pete Dye and ranked 25th in the world. A must do experience is a visit to the famed Altos de Chavon, a replica of a medieval Mediterranean village located just minutes from La Romana. It features artist's studios, craft shops, galleries, restaurants, bars and a 5,000 seat amphitheater. For a truly unique experience, visit the largest handmade cigar factory in the world with a Premium Cigar Factory tour.
La Romana affords the opportunity to experience beautiful Caribbean beauty in a number of stunning settings. The Dominicus and Bayahibe beaches feature some of the best beaches in the area and many tourists opt to stay at the resorts in this area. Of great appeal are two islands near to La Romana, the Saona Island, which is a palm tree decorated island with powder white sand and stunning shallow waters and the Isla Catalina, an uninhabited offshore wildlife reserve with magical coral reefs. Both islands provide the ideal setting for snorkeling and fun on the beach. Cueva de las Maravillas or Cave of Wonders has a footpath that leads almost eight metres underground where there is an impressive display of stalagmites and stalactites as well as over 500 rupestrian paintings by those who inhabited the island at the time of Columbus' discovery. The Plantacion Tropical is a botanical garden that is also well worth the visit.
Clearly, La Romana is in the vicinity of many remarkable resources and attractions. At the end of a full day, you will enjoy the many restaurants, bars and discos. Let SellOffVacations.com take you to this beautiful and exciting vacation destination.
