La Romana Holidays

A quaint beautiful hotel. One of the cleanest hotels I have been to in along time. The staff are top notch, always courteous and happy to assist. The entertainment crew work hard and do a fantastic job. The food is great value for money. The beach is well kept, My only wish is for beautiful blue water which this area of the DR does not have. Had a wonderful 5 nights here! Great job to the staff of this hotel

Three of us stayed in April 2025. The overall resort grounds are beautiful—well-maintained, clean, and inviting. The pool area was a highlight, with plenty of loungers and umbrellas available at all times. The beach itself is gorgeous, but unfortunately, the water wasn’t very clean and there were jellyfish present during our stay, so we chose not to swim. The rooms could use some updating. Our shower didn’t work very well, and the hot water was inconsistent. We also experienced a few minor issues like the air conditioning acting up and a burnt-out lightbulb. One night, there were a few brief power outages, but they resolved quickly. The room had a noticeable odor when we first arrived, though it did fade after a while. Food options were solid overall. The buffet consistently had something enjoyable, and all three à la carte restaurants were excellent—we really enjoyed our meals there. Drinks were just okay. I’ve had better, and the frozen drinks in particular were often not very frozen. That said, the selection was decent, and the bartenders were friendly and attentive. Service throughout the resort was fantastic for the most part. The staff clearly work hard to keep guests happy. While we did come across the occasional staff member who seemed to be having an off day, the majority were excellent. Daytime entertainment was decent, though it could be improved. Evening entertainment was pretty limited—surprisingly, the theater was never used. However, we did enjoy the circus show at Bahia Village and the beach party/fire show, both of which were fun. Overall, this is a quiet, family-friendly resort. We had a very relaxing and pleasant getaway.

I don't usually leave reviews, however this experience/hotel was 10/10 for us. The facilities, cleanliness, activities were all amazing, the hotel staff are so polite and welcoming along with the entertainment team. I would strongly recommend - we requested extra bottles of water on one occasion, which was sent up to our room within minutes. Great hotel & staff.

We really enjoyed this hotel as everything is close...staff are simply amazing, polite, helpful and with nice smiles! I was surprised by the super nice gym they have here and it is probably the nicest I have seen down south! Special thank you to Jose (in the dining areas), Andy Garcia at watersports, Marcus at the gym...not sure of his name! Amazing staff all around! The pool is huge and very nice and the grounds are super well maintained and beautiful!

I’m giving it 5 stars because the price to value was there. On the pros side, attentive and friendly staff, nice pools with swim up bar, mature landscaping, good security, good value overall. On the cons side, the beach is near the mouth of a river so the water isn’t the Caribbean clear blue water you would hope, the food is okay - not bad, not great, the rooms are older but very clean. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time at this resort. Service was great, they are trying to make you feel so comfortable and welcome. Everyone was trying above and beyond. The property is very well maintained, everything is spotless. There are a plenty of food options, bars are everywhere. Beach is breathtaking. We were here with 2 kids and we enjoyed it very much. Cleaning lady Maria did amazing job, our room always looked amazing!

We have just returned from a two week stay and it was absolutely fantastic. The staff all round the complex were very friendly and helpful especially Marie who cleaned our room, Monica in Coco cafe and Renaldo who made my omelette in the morning. The area around the pools were very clean and plenty of lounges with shade as the temperature was very hot. The short walk to the beach was very good and it was everything the brochure said it was. We booked a 10 dive package and from Daniel on reception to all the dive masters they were extremely helpful and very friendly, especially Regina and boat crew who helped with all our dive gear. The entertainment was very professional especially the water show on the Saturday evening. The food in the World Cafe was amazing, everything you could ask for as to the specific restaurants. 10/10 for everything

Dreams Dominion La Romana is amazing! The service is excellent. Jerry and Jay are the best at the beach. They came to get us to dance every day. Edwin was our butler and he did an amazing job. He made sure our family birthday was special. We have traveled a lot and this is one of the most beautiful beach we have seen. There is no seaweed and the water is so clear.

stayed with my girlfriend for 2 weeks in April 2025 pros: - carribien sea - fruits - terrace in each apartment - staff helped my girlfriend when she was not feeling well - hotel doctor cons: - hotel is extremely overcrowded with people (hotel is relatively small if we compare it to other hotels on the same beach, e.g. viva dominicus). Overcrowded kitchen area, overcrowded beach, traffic jam of people when u r just walking from one area of hotel to another - veeery small beach taking into account size of hotel. You have to wake up at 7:00 AM and immediately "reserve" good spots on the beach, otherwise u will be lying on the sun - awful food (it's just not tasty, not properly cooked, veeery fatty) cocktails are made from good alcohol but all other ingredients are sooo cheap, as result if u really into cocktails and u do know what good cocktail is, just DO NOT drink cocktails, it's total waste of your stomach health and your calories - you can get 1 king size bed instead of 2 double beds ONLY if you join so called preferred clud which costs $500 for a couple. I had to sleep with my girlfriend in different beds. That is insane - half of the beach is occupied with area ONLY for preferred club members - you cannot walk outside of your beach, most likely you will be stopped by security guy from another hotel and asked to leave the area. Lifehack - go alongside seashore, that's how they cannot catch you! Or just swim to other nearby beaches) - poor service (in the beginning I had to call 3 times so that room is cleaned after 2 days w/o cleaning) - veeery loud events up to 11:00 PM. In case if your appartment is located near main event area, it's impossible to fall asleep. Music is exremely loud. Of couse we were not warned about that. We had to change our apartment to the one far away from music area - in majority of cases, you cannot escape very loud music during the day and evening - when we asked to change the room, service lady said that we have to stay for 3 hours w/o apartment (we check-out at 10:00 AM, check-in to new apartment at 1:00 PM). However new apartment was fully ready for us. Only after arguing and asking to talk with manager, we were offered to make exchange w/o waiting time at 12:00 PM - I do not know why man staff is very polite however women staff are quite rude and agressive. Sometimes they just ignore what you are saying while trying to make the order -romantic dinner for $120 with so-so food. No comments here, extremely overpriced - even though it is 5-star all inclusive hotel, staff tries to charge u in each and every moment: spa, massage, evening events, romantic dinner, just selling some gfts, etc. You cannot get away from that - we asked to fly with the drone, filled in several papers providing all the details (including serial number of drone), we got no response Summary: Strongly DO NOT recommend, search for another 5-start hotel at Carribean. Everything good I remember from this 2-weeks vacation with my girlfriend was NOT connected to hotel: Carribean, fruits, travelling to Saona and Catalina islands (btw I DO recommend you visiting these 2 islands, definetely must have)

Here's a positive review emphasizing the luxurious, peaceful, and secure aspects of Casa de Campo villa resort: Indulge in Tranquil Luxury at Casa de Campo Villa Resort - A Secure Paradise! Our recent experience at Casa de Campo villa resort was nothing short of exceptional. If you're dreaming of a getaway that combines luxurious accommodations with a supremely peaceful and secure environment, then look no further. This resort truly offers the best of both worlds. From the stunning villa to the meticulously maintained grounds, every aspect exudes luxury and sophistication. We were able to completely unwind in the tranquil atmosphere, enjoying the peace and quiet that permeated the entire resort. Furthermore, the evident commitment to security provided an unparalleled sense of calm and allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in relaxation without any worries. Casa de Campo villa resort is a haven of luxurious tranquility and security. We wholeheartedly recommend it and give it a perfect 100%! For those seeking an opulent escape where peace of mind is guaranteed, this is the ideal destination.

We had the best stay at Casa de Campo. The service was 5 star. From the beach to the restaurants, the entire experience was just what we hoped for. We felt very safe as well. We had both the inclusive restaurants as well as a few we paid outside of the package and we were hard pressed to tell the difference. Highly recommend! We look forward to a return in the future.

Fantastic resort with golf, pools, and nightly live music. Staff are attentive and seek to accommodate whenever possible. The resort is huge so your own golf cart is provided with your room. The map provided is helpful, but GPS on your phone is essential to navigate to restaurants, shopping, and the movie theater

Robert

This resort was great. From check in to checkout. Security was great, all over the property. Our concierge Eric was great, always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. Upgraded us from a room to a 5 bedroom villa for free. Our villa was ridiculous. Our maid Anesia was great as well. Restaurant staff were polite. Everywhere we went on the gated resort was clean. The beach was clean. The marina had dozens n dozens of yachts n boats. The privately owned homes were insane.

--- **Overall: 3.5/5** The rating isn’t higher primarily due to the language barrier and travel experience. However, if someone spoke fluent Spanish and could fly directly into La Romana airport, I’d rate it 4/5 or even 4.5/5. **The Good** The resort boasts a sprawling campus with excellent restaurants and a beautifully maintained complex of villas, organized into over a dozen themed areas. For example, tennis or padel enthusiasts can stay near Las Canas or the Tennis Villa area, while beach lovers can opt for Las Minitas. The variety works well. Many of the restaurants truly stand out with fantastic food. Aesthetically, Altos de Chavón, in particular, impressed me as a remarkable architectural recreation that avoids feeling overly artificial, like Disneyland. **The Bad:** Our travel experience involved flying into Santo Domingo, which I’d dock half a point for. It’s an hour-and-a-half drive to the resort, and the airport itself lacks charm or convenience. Additionally, if you don’t speak Spanish, you’ll likely encounter challenges. Perhaps naively—given that most guests seem to be from the U.S.—I expected English to be more widely understood, especially by staff in guest-facing roles. Within the resort, there’s a genuine spirit of hospitality, but outside of it, interactions can feel strained at times. **The Ugly:** It’s impossible to ignore the stark poverty in the Dominican Republic. Waste management struggles are evident, with litter scattered throughout the island. Inside the resort, golf carts are the primary mode of transport, which adds a fun element—though most are gas-powered, noisy, and emit fumes that are particularly noticeable if you’re seated in the back. Given the sprawling layout, you might spend about an hour a day on a cart. Sharing the paths with cars—many of them service vehicles—can feel chaotic. For instance, heading to the beach with family loses its charm when you’re trailing a septic truck or dodging fast-moving landscaper vans. It disrupts the otherwise enchanting atmosphere. Also worth noting: tipping culture is very prominent here. **Final Thoughts:** Don’t misunderstand me—this is a special place. Practical improvements could elevate the experience: electrifying the golf cart fleet, enhancing staff training in language and hospitality skills, and streamlining the journey from airport to resort. One idea might be a daysail activity, or fast ferry option, from near Santo Domingo to the campus—a slightly longer trip, perhaps, but far more enjoyable.
