Historic charm and spectacular views. We spent the day walking around, visiting shops, and tasting food and drink. You may catch a wedding or a concert on any day.

This is a place you have to visit once in your lifetime. An amphitheatre that is carved in the stone, just look at the pictures and judge for yourself, also if you like golf you can enjoy the best golf course in the Caribbean and possibly all Latinoamérica in Casa De Campo as well.

This place is an oasis. If you are interested in craftsmanship, history and supporting local artisans, this is the place. We absolutely loved the church, the amphitheater, and the museum was the highlight for us. Learning about the local indigenous culture and seeing original artifacts. If you want an experience that’s a little more special… and to find a souvenir that really means something, this is the place. There are small boutiques, and artists studios to visit. We didn’t eat there, but there are restaurants as well.

Beautiful Mediterranean inspired church and village perched on the cliffs overlooking the Chavon River. Even after finding out it was a real estate development project in the 80s, the stone work, landscape, and charm of this spot transports you in time.

What an amazing place! It is such a romantic and magical place! Had the opportunity to celebrate our wedding anniversary and had the most delicious dinner with an out of this world view!!

A Hidden Mediterranean Village in the Heart of the Caribbean. Perched above the winding Chavón River, Altos de Chavón feels like stepping into another world where time slows down and stone-paved streets tell stories of art, music, and culture. Designed in the late 1970s as a tribute to 16th-century Mediterranean villages, this one-of-a-kind place was brought to life by Dominican architect José Antonio Caro and Italian designer Roberto Coppa. Built entirely by local artisans using limestone, handcrafted wood, and wrought iron, every corner of the village carries the warmth and pride of its makers. Visitors enter through the gates of Casa de Campo, the private resort that surrounds Altos de Chavón. Guests of the resort can access the village freely, while outside visitors pay an entry fee that typically ranges from 25 to 50 dollars per person, depending on what’s included. Once inside, you’ll find narrow cobblestone streets lined with artisan shops, galleries, and cafés, along with stunning views of the river valley below. One of the most visited spots is the small but beautiful St. Stanislaus Church, where a relic from the saint himself, ashes sent by Pope John Paul II, rests behind the altar. At the heart of the village is the amphitheater, a 5,000-seat open-air venue carved into the hillside. Since its grand opening concert in 1982 featuring Frank Sinatra, the stage has welcomed some of the world’s biggest performers including Elton John, Andrea Bocelli, Juan Luis Guerra, Sting, Plácido Domingo, Luis Miguel, and Marc Anthony. With its impressive acoustics and dramatic backdrop, the amphitheater offers a unique concert experience under the stars. Altos de Chavón also offers several excellent dining options. Alegría serves a varied menu with breathtaking views of the river, with favorites like lobster rice, croquetas, and perfectly grilled churrasco. Onno’s Café, just steps from the amphitheater, is a laid-back spot popular for cocktails and quick bites. Other notable places include Chilango Taquería for tacos, La Piazzetta for Italian dishes, and Dye Fore Bar for drinks with a panoramic view. It’s important to note that after 5 p.m., non-resort guests are not allowed to dine in the village unless invited by someone staying in Casa de Campo, so plan accordingly if you’re visiting for the day. Parking is simple and close to the entrance, especially near Onno’s. The village is best explored on foot, but wear comfortable shoes, as the cobblestone paths can be uneven. Arriving early in the day allows for a quieter visit and the best photo opportunities, while sunset brings a magical glow over the river valley that’s hard to forget. Altos de Chavón also houses a fascinating archaeological museum with thousands of artifacts from pre-Columbian cultures. For those interested in hands-on experiences, there are art studios offering pottery, weaving, and silkscreen workshops. The village is home to a prestigious design school affiliated with Parsons, making it a creative hub where you’re just as likely to meet students sketching as tourists exploring. On certain weekends, you might stumble upon a local artisan market, with live music and handcrafts adding even more charm to an already special visit. Concert nights bring the village to life, and if you plan ahead, attending a show at the amphitheater is an unforgettable highlight. Altos de Chavón isn’t just a tourist attraction. It’s a carefully crafted escape filled with beauty, history, and inspiration. Whether you’re drawn by the architecture, the art, the music, or the peaceful atmosphere, this hilltop village offers a glimpse into something truly timeless in the heart of the Dominican Republic.

Beautiful place to walk around and enjoy the views

Fantastic place, very scenic beach, turquoise water great for swimming. Scuba diving and snorkelling there was excellent due to healthy coral, abundance of marine life, and perfect visibility. We came there with a Scuba Caribe tour from Hilton La Romana and the tour was perfectly organized. Highly recommend when staying in Bayahibe arein the

What an amazing day! Some of the best snorkeling. We took a day trip that we booked with Dive Klub at our resort. The pickup was a little discombobulated, which made us nervous, but it worked out great. We had a traditional Dominican lunch that was delicious and we snorkeled for most of the day. We saw an octopus and so so many unique fish. We were well taken care of and returned to our resort safely. Take your own towel. They have everything else including all the drinks and food. Shout out to Naldo…thanks for so much fun and care.

One of my favorite places here, so, so, so beautiful island, and so clear water, color is perfect! 😍 everything is nice and beautiful, quiet place. I like because there are not too many people, it is more like a private island. there are a couple of bars also.

Beautiful island and probably the best place for snorkeling in the Dominican Republic. We took an excursion from Punta Cana and it was definitely worth it. It was a bumpy ride back because of the high waves but we had fun drinking and dancing. Blue crystal water with white beaches, palm trees, souvenir shops, and some restaurants. We saw some fishes and beautiful corals while snorkeling. Overall a great experience.

Island is beautiful. Fantastic place. Would get 5 stars but the best snorkeling was in a place where lots of boats come to drop people of. We'll worth a visit.

Some of the most pretty water in the world. Luckily each excursion has their own private areas. The beach chairs, food, and drinks come with the tour. (For us, for most i assume). Good place for snorkeling and swimming). No real privacy here, but the water is well worth it.

Water - BEAUTIFUL turquoise colour and so clean you could see the ground so clearly 😍 we saw dolphins on the way back too ❤️ but the beach 👎 I think the company (TORTUGA) paid for the cheapest spot on the Catalina island and they took us there . It’s NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURES THEY SHOW YOU or you can see on Google. That must be other part of the island. Not enough sun beds and the ALL INCLUSIVE was actually few drinks (rum and coke or rum and sprite ) that you can mix on the beach yourself. And ….. half of white sandwich with a tiny slice of cheese. Just awful. Also no catamaran only speedboat. Except of the dolphins 🐬, it wasn’t worth the money. Go with different company and go to SAONA I highly recommend 😍

Beautiful and surreal river a must see

If you visit at altos de chavon area ,amazing, in other areas the people dont understand how important is the medio ambient, they don't care about....

Peace in beautiful plenty birds

Beautiful 😍

Super

Pretty views

Beautiful

My son and I had a good time riding the two buggies, first out into the sugar cane fields, chased by friendly kids and occasional over-excited dogs. It was interesting to drive through the local village and, even more so, to see the huts of the families who work on the cane fields for €4/tonne - black Haitians with few options available across the border. The quadbike was fastest, getting up to 52 (km/h or mph?) on a stretch without too many potholes. Then a steep slope down to Chavon river which was very recognisable from lots of movies - for me, most notably, Apocalypse Now. Staff a very friendly and good to speak to at occasional breaks - mention to Diesel (Chelsea) in particular. Very enjoyable.

(Translated by Google) Not a cheap pleasure, but for those who like buggy or quad racing through sugar cane plantations along railway embankments and learning about the country and its people, it should be worth every dollar. In the meantime, local children may jump up and ride with you while driving. Really a little crazy and you get really dirty. (Original) Kein billiges Vergnügen, aber für diejenigen, denen es gefällt mit dem Buggy oder Quad durch Zuckerrohrplantagen an Bahndämmen entlang zu jagen und nebenbei noch etwas über Land und Leute zu erfahren, sollte es jeden Dollar wert sein. Zwischendurch kann es sein, dass einheimische Kinder während der Fahrt aufspringen und mitfahren. Wirklich etwas crazy und man wird wirklich richtig schmutzig.

M'y love

Caleta is not the most beautiful dominican beach, however, it has beautiful spots for pictures, lots of places to eat seafood, tostones, fried fish and to have drinks and/or beers. This beach is good to go to chill, you can go with your own stuff if you don't want to be in a local business (your ice, drinks, food, chairs, etc.). People are very welcoming. Enjoy!

Just beautiful, good entertainment and good food...

THE ABUSER Plalla caleta

Good food and good vibes... Great location.

Simply gorgeous and the people are wonderful.

(Translated by Google) Very quiet and relaxed, perfect for spending time with family. (Original) Muy tranquilo y relajado para compartir en familia

Beautiful place to walk around and enjoy the views

It's a nice beach but don't recommend on Saturday and Sunday as it gets really busy with locals and there is little space. A lot of shops nearby.

We love this beach I think it’s beautiful and the water cristal clear. We visited with friends and family and had a great time in the water with literally no waves and warm water and soft sand on the beach. If you are going to eat they will set you a table with chairs and will be included with your purchase. Note: This it’s Bayahibe Beach this doesn’t have the Bayahibe lighthouse very mistaken by others and also it’s one wrong picture posted that doesn’t belong to this part of the beach. The lighthouse it’s located on Dominicus beach!

Beautiful beach with restaurants along it. I wish they had dominican prices instead of American. It's definitely a tourist trap with people bothering you the entire time. We did eat from the restaurant so we didn't get harassed as much and the food was good. The water was gorgeous and warm

The way in is a long rocky road next to dreams resort for anybody wondering how to get there, very good beach. Nice people.

Great Public Beach, But Beware of Hilton Security Lovely beach with calm water and a relaxed vibe. However, if you walk toward the Hilton resort area, be aware that security will block your path along the shoreline, falsely claiming it's private property. All beaches in the Dominican Republic are public up to 60 meters from the waterline, including in front of resorts. If you're stopped, you can politely ask to speak to a manager.

A nice sandy beach with clear waters 15 min drive from La Romana. I found the place primarily visited by locals, only a few tourists. There were many locals with picnics or just enjoying with families. There's a large car park close by that charges 200 pesos for the day. However, be aware that it's a rip off for tourists. The touts just flock you from all sides. I was charged US $5 just to use a chair at the beach (though I doubt it was his chair at all) and then US $25 for each pound of fish! So, we just gave up after 30mins and left.

Basic yet tranquil

Great place for shopping and groceries.

This place have everything.stores Supermarket.teathers.ams food court

My first time to the Plaza while on vacation. It was clean and not crowded. There were really nice items to buy. If I’m ever in the area again I will update with pictures for you all to see.

Alot to do and to buy 👌

Great place to get everyday items

Very clean and smart. Nice selection of stores. Nice selection at the food court.

Excellent place, clean, new, you will find anything you need.

Beautiful Christmas lights

Beautiful park to visit and sight see

Is a calm park, perfect to stay a couple of minutes, and take some pics. Near to Sitraihr bus terminal 🚌

Best environment to enjoy the freshness of the air.

Just a small park

It's a small park that seems more like a plaza to me. There are many benches with trees that provide shade, so you can have a seat and relax. Around the park are bus stops and stations, adding to its importance. I'd suggest not going there at night though (especially if you're a tourist) because you might get robbed.

Love the park, has a nice plaza in the center. During holidays this place is packed with all sorts of touristic attractions showing off their country culture. No need to worry about being mugged, cause there is a police officer at every corner of the park at almost all times.
