Between Santo Domingo and Punta Cana on the south coast of the Dominican Republic, La Romana has some of the finest resorts on the island. Throw in great beaches, calm clear water and plenty of flights, and you get one of the most popular spots in the Caribbean.
Spend an afternoon at Altos de Chavón, a recreation of a fortified Spanish village and a hub of local artisans. Go snorkeling on Catalina Island or trekking through Parque Nacional Del Este. Or find out why the local courses draw visiting golfers year after year.
The resorts are the main sources of nightlife in the area. Although most are all-inclusive, you can purchase a night pass to enjoy the entertainment at most neighbouring hotels.
In addition to the one at La Romana, the airports at Santo Domingo and Punta Cana are relatively close. As a result, tour companies package La Romana resorts with flights in to each of these three airports. To minimize the time you spend on transfers between the airport and your hotel, try to fly into La Romana.
