La Romana Holidays

My first experience outside of Canada. Its was Amazing!! I loved everything about the resort. So beautiful and well kept. (Except for the "casino", that was a complete flop). The restaurants and the buffet were wonderful. Great tasting food and such a large variety. Favorite part was the wonderful staff. They were friendly, smiling, easy to laugh and talk with and always helpful. Especially the staff in Orquidera. I will gladly recommend this resort to everyone I talk to. Thank you all.

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.

Excellent resort. Kind of secluded with nothing local to really do. Pools and bars were always a good thing. The fine dining restaurants were on point. But even the buffets were good for a quick bite with plenty of variety. The evening entertainment was lacking.

I absolutely love everything about this resort..Can't wait to come back.

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)

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

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.

Excellent family vacation. We spent a week here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff is so welcoming and friendly, for example Senor Miguel L at reception. Food is amazing too: SBG was our favorite (Octopus, cheese pasta and steaks were fantastic) but we didn’t have a bad meal. Tennis was great too: we had a lesson with Jose, which was fantastic. Looking forward to returning soon.
