Historic Walking Areas
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Altos de Chavón is a recreated 16th-century Mediterranean village situated on the Chavon River in La Romana, Dominican Republic. This cultural center features an archeological museum showcasing Taino artifacts and a Grecian-style amphitheater that has hosted renowned musicians since its opening in 1982. The village boasts cobblestone streets, restaurants, bars, shops, art galleries, and craft workshops.
Need to prepare passport and sign documents before buying tickets to enter the area. The architecture is so interesting here. Every few steps is a cute angle or view of the houses. So pleasant to walk around. There are a lot of stores and restaurants. The village is very small but very interesting. Super cute place.

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.
Ramon V — Google review
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.

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.

Minitas Beach

Mentioned on 
7 lists 
Beach
Minitas Beach is a stunning resort beach with golden sand, sun loungers, and palm trees. It offers various activities such as paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, and snorkeling thanks to the protection of a reef that keeps big waves at bay. The beach features amenities like a restaurant with varied food options and recreational facilities including ping pong tables and a small playground. Additionally, there's an on-site pool for those who prefer not to swim in the ocean.
This beach is stunning! There are some rocks that break the waves, making it a calm swimming and snorkeling experience. The coral reef there is dead, but there are still fish to see. The staff are extremely attentive, and the lounge chairs make the experience a lot more relaxing. The drinks at the bar are delicious, and Angel the bartender is super sweet. It does take some time to pay, sometimes up to 7 minutes. The food trucks there, Brassa and Massa, were pretty lackluster unfortunately. The food was dry and not seasoned enough, and takes about half and hour to actually receive. There is some shopping to be done there, but it is extremely expensive (think high-end boutique prices).
Mia T — Google review
Gorgeous luxury beach area. The only downside is that it is not onsite at the hotel. It is about 2km away which will take about 10 minutes by golf cart or 25 minutes to walk. So you have to plan your visit and bring everything you need. Also it is quite busy because it is shared with over 2000 residences and the hotel guests. There is good public washrooms and an outdoor shower. There are two food trucks which are part of the “all inclusive “. It’s a good place to watch the sunset over the Caribbean Sea. There are also two pools here with one designated for children.

Beautiful private beach in Casa de Campo resort. Very child friendly. Beach is protected by rocks in the water, so no waves and currents. Great bar service and free towel service. Even during high season it never feels busy. Many options for lunch and dinner including food trucks for snacks, juice bar, ice cream shop, and fine dining beach club. Playa Minitas has 3 pools; baby pool, main pool and adult-only pool in the beach club area.
Richard L — Google review
A beautiful beach perfect for swimming and snorkeling because it is protected by a reef that doesn’t allow big waves to come through. They have a nice playground along with a pool and kiddie pool if you don’t want to go in the ocean. I highly recommend catching a sunset here. It isn’t too crowded and the sun sets over the ocean which is a nice touch.

Beautiful beach with palm trees and lounge chairs lining the beach for your enjoyment. A reef somewhat out in the distance protects the beach from large waves, which makes it perfect to enjoy a calm kid friendly swimming experience. Activities include snorkeling, banana boating, kayaking, volleyball, and a few others. Food offerings range from quick bites at the food trucks to a fine dining experience with gorgeous captivating beach decor. For those who enjoy a good sunset, this is one of the best I've seen.

Estadio Francisco A. Micheli

Mentioned on 
5 lists 
Stadium
Estadio Francisco A. Micheli, located in the La Romana area of the Dominican Republic, is a beautiful baseball stadium where you can catch a game and experience the local passion for their national sport. Home to the team Los Toros (The Bulls), it offers a picturesque setting and an opportunity to immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere during baseball season from October to January. The well-groomed field and small seating capacity create an intimate experience, with easy access to concessions and restrooms.
This stadium is gorgeous. It is in the, La Romana area of the Dominican Republic where there are beautiful tourist areas. This stadium did not disappoint. I did a Dominican Republic baseball stadium tour and this was my first stadium. It was a beautiful site. I bought all the baseball caps from each team and this cap is beautiful. It reminds me of Tennessee Volunteers then looks like a bull. The name of the team is, Los Toros (The Bulls). Highly recommend you come during the winter months to catch a great baseball game.
Wilson R — Google review
In April, it's not baseball season in the Dominican Republic, but it's their national sport, and they love their fans so much that the stadium is open to visitors for a look. A seniorita from the office even opened the shop so we could pick up bright orange Toros gear. By U.S. standards, the field is well groomed, but seating capacity is kinda small. They pack these places during their Nov-Feb season. Worth the time!

We visited the stadium with our two young boys to catch a game. We felt safe the entire time and enjoyed the atmosphere very much! There is a gift shop with jerseys, hats, and other small items. We ordered fried chicken and a couple sodas. We did not know that you order and wait to pay till after the game. Leaving the game some locals tried to sell us some foul balls for $7 a ball.

Teeth of the Dog Golf Course, Casa de Campo Resort & Villas

Mentioned on 
5 lists 
Temporarily Closed
Golf course
The Teeth of the Dog Golf Course, situated in the picturesque Caribbean, is a renowned 18-hole golf course located by the mesmerizing waterfront. It is often regarded as a must-play course in the region and stands out with its stunning ocean-hugging holes that resemble jagged canine teeth. Designed by esteemed golf architect Peter Dye, this championship course is one of three distinct courses within Casa de Campo luxury resort spread across 7,000 acres in La Romana.
AMAZING golf course and experience!! Had a wonderful time, views are spectacular!! I've played Pebble Beach twice and this is more scenic. Course was in great condition. My caddie Javier was also excellent. Will definitely be back.
J. A — Google review
Some golf courses are played with clubs. Others are lived and remembered long after the final putt. Teeth of the Dog, the legendary Pete Dye design at Casa de Campo in La Romana, belongs firmly in that second category. It is not just the top-ranked course in the Caribbean. It is an experience that demands respect and rewards precision, offering one of the most memorable rounds of golf anywhere in the Western Hemisphere. Carved out of coral rock and Dominican coastline in 1971, this course was Pete Dye’s personal favorite. Seven of its holes run so close to the Caribbean Sea that ocean spray sometimes reaches the green. But it is not just about the scenery. Teeth of the Dog is a test of strategy, discipline, and creativity. The layout moves effortlessly between coastal spectacle and quieter inland moments, creating a rhythm that keeps players alert and engaged from the first tee to the eighteenth green. From holes 5 to 8, the course bares its teeth. Hole 5, a par 3 perched beside the waves, punishes indecision. Hole 7 dares players to cut the corner of a dogleg wrapped around the sea. Later in the round, hole 16 presents one of the toughest challenges. It is a long par 4 framed by the ocean on the left and wind that shifts direction without warning. On a breezy afternoon, a par here feels like a small triumph. Course conditions are superb. Fairways are tightly mown and offer excellent roll. Greens are quick, true, and subtly contoured. The bunkers are sharp-edged, clean, and never placed randomly. Every hazard matters. The rough is playable but penal enough to encourage discipline off the tee. Drainage is excellent, even after heavy tropical rain, and signage throughout the course is discreet and clear. Support facilities meet the standards of elite private clubs. The clubhouse has sea views and a relaxed but refined setting for lunch or a drink after the round. The pro shop is well-stocked with top-tier brands and offers excellent service. Practice facilities include a full driving range with natural grass, short-game area, and large putting greens that accurately reflect the speed and texture of the course. Locker rooms are spacious and well-appointed. Caddies are knowledgeable and offer the right balance between guidance and discretion. Currently, the course is undergoing a full restoration led by Jerry Pate Design, scheduled from January through December 2025. The work includes re-grassing the entire course with Dynasty Paspalum, rebuilding bunkers, restoring original green contours, improving drainage with sand-capping, and renewing cart paths with concrete curbing. The project honors Pete Dye’s original design while enhancing long-term playability. Though closed for play as of July 2025, the anticipation for its reopening is high, and deserved. Teeth of the Dog has hosted the Latin America Amateur Championship and other major regional tournaments. Green fees for resort guests are approximately $395, including cart and practice balls. Early tee times are recommended to enjoy calmer winds and a quieter atmosphere. Non-golfers can relax at the Beach Club or explore nearby Altos de Chavón, a replica Mediterranean village offering panoramic views and cultural experiences. The course suits low to mid-handicap players best, though forward tees provide access to the design’s beauty without overwhelming less experienced golfers. From December to April, conditions are ideal. Year-round play is viable thanks to excellent maintenance and thoughtful course engineering. Once your round ends, stop by the 19th Hole Bar for something light and refreshing. It’s the perfect closing ritual, quiet, shaded, and steps from the final green. If you found this review helpful, please consider follow & leaving a like. 😉❤️

Immaculately maintained course with breathtaking views of the sea. It was designed by Pete Dye and it is the only course in the world with seven holes bordering on the Caribbean Sea. They are collectively known as the “holes created by god”. For the most part, the caddies were knowledgeable and helpful with few exceptions. The only real downside is the absolutely outrageous price. For a single who is a hotel guest the cost is $575 Canadian including the $100US mandatory cash tip for caddy service. Club rental adds about $100 on top of that plus 18% mandatory taxes. It all adds up to about $800 Canadian per game. This makes for a crazy expensive golf week on top of the huge accommodations costs. The only other thing worth mentioning is the Pro Shop. We shopped here during the afternoon when it was quiet and although there were few shoppers and three sales clerks, no one was interested in selling anything to us. The women all chatted away to each other in Spanish and basically ignored us. Not cool by any standards let alone at a luxury golf establishment. Given the prices, a little service would have been appreciated.
Juliet M — Google review
Honestly, I came to the Dominican Republic for Teeth of the Dog. Maybe my expectations were too high, because I felt slightly—just slightly—disappointed. It’s a good course, no doubt, but with so many great options here, I’m not sure it’s top 100 worthy. Still glad I played it.
MAX K — Google review
Played both Teeth of the Dog and The Links. Both amazing courses and the caddies are amazing. Nothing matches up to this in the world, definitely play if you get the chance! The ocean holes are what golf dreams are made of.

Wonderful experience! Well designed beautiful course and breathtaking ocean views. I've played Pebble Beach and this is right up there or better. That's why I played this course often. I never got tired of it. Staff was friendly and cordial. The 19th green with all the free drinks was a great after event to gather all of our scores to wrap up a great day of golf.
Rafael S — Google review
It's one of the most beautiful courses you can play. With spectacular views, challenging holes, and ocean breezes, you can have a round to remember. Course is kept in immaculate shade. Everything is pressed, cut, and groomed to perfection. No wonder it's in the world's top courts. Staff is knowledgeable, polite, and very helpful. You'll pay a little more to play here, but you should have a blast.

Request Rene Division! Teeth of the Dog was under renovation so I played Dye Fore, where Rene Division was my assigned caddie — he was outstanding, and I’ll be requesting him for every round I play moving forward at Casa de Campo!

Park
Nature & Parks
Duarte Central Park, located in La Romana, is a popular spot for both locals and tourists. Despite its relatively small size, the park offers a pleasant environment with shaded benches and well-maintained greenery. Visitors can admire statues of baseball players and Padre de la Patria while enjoying the surrounding restaurants and souvenir stores. The park is known for its relaxed atmosphere, attracting families, friends, and even the LGBTQ community.
Central Park is the place to be, with food trucks conveniently lined up on the south side of the park, offering a variety of tasty options. For the best pasteles de yuca and plátanos, head to the small food truck right on the corner—you won’t be disappointed! The food is fantastic, and I highly recommend visiting after 6 pm when everything is in full swing. While the park is generally quiet, it’s best to go with a friend or group, especially at night, for added safety. Enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and some of the best street food La Romana has to offer!

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.

Cave of Wonders, a cave museum discovered in 1926, is a popular tourist attraction located on the way to the capital. It boasts ancient Taino cave paintings and offers guided tours. Visitors can also enjoy the historic buildings and delicious food in La Zona Colonial after their visit to the cave. The site has shaded parking, a free mini-museum, and an inexpensive entrance fee. Tour guides who speak English are available and provide insightful information about the cave's history.
Wonderful spot to spend about an hour and a half with a very cool cave and fun little maze. Good for kids 6 and up! Does involve stairs and walking ~1 hour. The iguanas are also cool to see though you only stop by them for like 5 minutes.
Caleb C — Google review
First of all, I don’t like the fact that $ paying guests pay $10 for admission, while guests paying with DOP pay around $3. That’s discrimination. Other than that, the caves are amazing—very big and beautiful. The guides are friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. Make sure to wear non-slip shoes if you’re visiting, as the stairs can be quite slippery. The iguanas are kept in a large enclosure, but they seem to fight a lot, which makes me question whether keeping them together for tourists' sake is a good idea. Overall, I can recommend this place.
M O — Google review
We've been to a few of the caves around here and this one is really made up for visitors. You can see the sign from the highway easily, and there is plenty of parking (even in shade). For two of us it cost about USD $8 And that includes the guided tour. They take you on a stone walkway through some lovely landscaped gardens (watch out for iguanas) and then down into the cave which is a very large chamber. The path isn't steep and it's relatively smooth and easy to walk. The lights are well timed and there are bags in the holes in the ceiling. One section has Taino petroglyphs and there is one section with a pool. It's not the most impressive cave system I've seen but they've set it up nicely for visitors and it's a good tour. The acoustics are impressive and towards the end of the tour you are taken into one section that literally has marble floors--they used to hold concerts and have weddings there--which kind of blows your mind (what do they do when it rains and floods??) you aren't down too deep but there's a flight of stairs (maybe 50 steps?) to get out. They finish with a tour of the iguana exhibits and there are a lot of them. We liked it and thought it was a good deal for the money, definitely something fun to see.

I see why they call it La Cueva de las Maravillas.... this place truly lives up to its name! The cave is absolutely beautiful, and the history behind it and how it was discovered makes the visit even more fascinating. I definitely need to go back to explore El Laberinto (the maze) and try the Paseo a Caballo (horseback riding). Highly recommended for nature and history lovers!

​The Cueva de las Maravillas (Cave of Wonders) is a remarkable historical site and a highlight for any nature lover. The journey to the cave is a beautiful trek through a rocky, tropical landscape perfect for spotting iguanas. To enter, you descend a long flight of stairs into the massive and impressive cavern. ​Inside, you'll find incredible Taino pictograms, making it one of the most significant examples of Taino culture. The cave, which is believed to be over one million years old, was a vital part of Taino life, used for protection from hurricanes and as a place for burial rituals. ​While the cave is immense, only about 25% has been uncovered to avoid disturbing the native fauna, including the bats that have long called it home. Initially, locals illegally harvested bat guano from the cave to sell as a powerful fertilizer. ​The tour guide person was excellent, offering a detailed and fascinating look into the history and culture of the Taino people. This tour is highly recommended and an excellent value.

Very large cave system, lots of steps to get underground which are a tough climb back out. Paths underground dimly lit but with handrails. Wet underfoot. Impressive stalagmites/stalactites. Small lake in cave. Drawings well lit. Definitely well worth a visit. Iguanas in enclosure above ground but also wild. Guide was good but did walk around quickly. Spoke in English and Spanish.

The cave entrance is well maintained. You can pay 300 Pesos per person or pay a lot more as a tour. There is a guide that leads you through the cave anyway. The guide speaks Enlish and Spanish. The cave is not very deep. The tour is about an hour with a lot of little stops. The path is smooth concrete with little steps. The cave is nowhere narrow and sports several larger cavernous areas. The drip stones grow through old coral reefs, hence, the drip stones are more gray than the typical cream colour. There are black cave drawings that look a bit like spray painted. The downside of the cave is that it is not well lit. This is probably to avoid algae and moss growth. Drip stones, well, drip water. The tour ends at a iguana (lizard) den. Water is available at a store at the entrance.

$$$$very expensive
Restaurant

The ambiance is exclusive and upscale, with unique corners and intimate spaces filled with art and marine details. The restaurant provides a chic setting for a memorable dining experience, featuring eclectic upscale casual atmosphere.

High end restaurant located in the marina of Casa de Campo. Food was excellent, service was top tier, and the ambience is what stole the show. We sat outside, they had a dj that played mellowed dance music. It was a great night. Prices were what you’d expect for a high end restaurant. Ribeye was properly prepared with the mashed yuca. The chocolate cookie dessert was A1. Definitely try the fried octopus.

This might have been the worst service and most disappointing food I've had in my life. Was left entirely unattended for 45+ minutes and literally pulled on the sleeve of a walter to get service. I was going to order more decided against after so much time had passed. The food was thick and gross. How can any human consume the entire goat cheese and truffle focaccia pizza? It's a shame because the location is nice. 👎
Ted B — Google review
My fav restaurant in the world!! Every time we go to Casa we go at least twice. The food is amazing! We’ve made it our goal to try all the plates in the menu and they never miss. We have tried the ceviche, tuna carpaccio, popcorn tiradito, ossobucco risotto, shibuya rice, mercer steak, churrasco, and more. The cheese wheel pasta is spectacular and comes with great presentation. The crispy rice tuna is to DIE FOR and so is the coconut affair (dessert). On to the service, the service is amazing and the waiters are always there if you need anything. The atmosphere is also very nice. If you can, ask for seating outside (reservation recommended) because they have an amazing infinity pool / ocean view. 10000/10 Will keep coming back everytime.

Absolutely gorgeous restaurant! Food was delicious! I had the miso glazed Chilean sea bass and bluefin tuna tartar for my meal. Everything was prepared perfectly and was visually appealing to the eye. I dined outside in the evening right next to the water and it was a fabulous experience.

Came here with a big group of friends during our visit to Casa de Campo. The place is pretty spacious featuring both inside and outside seating, with the outside area being waterfront facing, which was nice. The restaurant was empty on the date that we visited. We were originally seated outside, however, due to the heat we Asked if we could seat inside instead and they were pretty accommodating to that request. Ordered food and most of it was pretty tasty, however, we had an unpleasant experience when we accidentally knocked over a soy sauce bottle and a dead fly came out of it that had been swimming around for who knows how long. Additionally, the server got some of our orders wrong implying that we had ordered something after we had confirmed multiple times what we wanted. Overall, it was okay but probably wouldn’t come back.

The experience of having dinner at SBG in la Romana is truly unique. Parking is far but they have courtesy transportation to the door of the restaurant or you can enjoy a lovely stroll as the restaurant is strategically at the end of the marina. The quality of food was outstanding. Each dish was prepared to perfection. Drinks were delicious. View was great. Ambiance depends on the area you are seating. Great experience!

SBG is a must when vacationing in the extremely beautiful resort of Casa De Campo, La Romana, Dominican Republic. Excellent, top quality service and incredible food selections. Bring $$$$ because this place has all the bells and whistles so not very cheap. A lot of wealthy folks dining and also many celebrities. Make early reservations and enjoy.

Beautiful setting, great service but extremely expensive, dinner for 2 cost around $400USD with two cocktails each. Espresso martinis are $30.00 each. Many items are as expensive or more as a restaurant in Miami. Even though is good, it’s overpriced, specially in local currency.

La Casita Restaurante

Restaurant
La Casita Restaurante is an elegant dining spot offering Mediterranean cuisine and fresh seafood with a picturesque view of the marina, making it ideal for a romantic evening. The menu features Spanish-style fish dishes and must-try paella. Overlooking Casa de Campo Marina, the restaurant serves exquisite seafood dishes that blend Spanish flavors with local Dominican ingredients.
This restaurant is absolutely amazing!! My family and I ate here twice during our stay at Casa de Campo. It's one of the restaurants included in the all-inclusive package! The manager, Juan, was extremely attentive and kind. My sister ordered the octopus appetizer but didn't like it (it was her first time trying it), and he had it recooked and brought back. It tasted fabulous! He also picked us up from the other side of the marina and waited for us to finish getting pictures while getting our table ready. We didn't have a reservation, but he got us a table on the water. The hostess, Julie, was extremely kind. We didn't have a reservation either time we went, and she kept us in the loop the entire time. The first time, we waited for maybe 3 minutes before being seated and the second time we were immediately seated. Our waiters, Eveline, Victor, and Jinkle, were also extremely attentive and kind. They took our orders quickly and accurately, and made sure that we were well taken care off. Both times, we were offered a ride back to our golf carts, but turned it down to walk off some of our food. The ambience of this restaurant is amazing and all of the food is extremely delicious. I would highly recommend eating here!!

This is one of the six all inclusive restaurants if you are staying at the Casa de Campo resort. I voted this as the best food and ambiance of the six locations. Service is top tier at all locations but this place is a little better. Outside and interior seating. Great bar for a cocktail before you are seated. You will park your cart at the Marinas main gate and another multi-person cart will drive you to the restaurant. Make reservations.

Terrible. Food - it's not proper patatas bravas, it's wedges with an orange sauce. It's not proper chorizo either. The main (beef) comes with either potatoes or vegetables, not both. The steak order was supposed to come with sherry and mushroom sauce, but it didn't, we had to ask for it. By which time we had eaten half of it as we didn't want it to go cold. Cheesecake was a cheap version. I may be wrong, but it was like it was made with gelatine, and the base was soggy. Service - very cheery, but very quick asking us what we wanted, like we were being rushed. Asked if we wanted dessert but didn't give us a menu, just said an option of either cheesecake, panna cotta, or ice cream. Online, the menu actually had more! Luckily, we were there all inclusive, otherwise the bill would have been 188 US dollars!! Feel sorry for anyone paying that price. Surroundings - looks lovely and fresh and clean. Unfortunately that's all the place has going for it.

Very welcoming and great service! The view and location were perfect right on the water overlooking the marina. The host was happy and greeted us properly. Our waiters were excellent with service being on point. The food was lacking in taste somewhat. The fish needed a little something and the steak was just okay. I left half my steak because I was just not enjoying it. Maybe the cut was bad but it was not a quality piece of meat. If they were on their food quality, this would make the top three restaurant in Casa De Campo!

This was our favourite restaurant on Casa de Campo. The food was consistently delicious and the service was superb. The venue is the absolutely perfect place to watch the sunset.

The view of the marina and the smell of the ocean breeze were absolutely breathtaking. We also had the same waitress whenever we visited, her name was Janet and she was friendly, sweet and super professional.

Went in on Christmas Eve, no reservation, not crowded at 7:30 pm, no wait time to be seated. Fantastic central location with a view of the pier, cozy and familiar ambience, friendly staff. Asked what their fish specialty was, they explained they are the only ones in the region to prepare the lion fish (due to the spikes which are a pain to deal with). True or not, the fish in its orange/ginger sauce was delicious. The salad on the side was seasoned with a perfectly fresh light dressing. Rice and tostones were superb too. Ah and not to mention the mojito! Fresh, not too sweet, not too heavy on liquor... everything I tried was perfect! Congrats and thanks!

Enchanting Ambiance and Delicious Flavors at La Piazzetta - A True Taste of Italy in Casa de Campo! Dining at La Piazzetta was an absolutely delightful experience! The location above Casa de Campo offers a truly enchanting atmosphere, perfect for a romantic evening or a special gathering. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making you feel instantly transported to a charming Italian piazza. The food was also a highlight! Every dish we sampled was bursting with authentic Italian flavors, expertly prepared and beautifully presented. The pasta dishes were particularly outstanding, and the aromas wafting from the kitchen were simply divine. The service was attentive and friendly, further enhancing our enjoyment. If there was one minor note, as an Italian restaurant, we were a little surprised not to find any pizza options on the menu. However, this in no way detracted from the overall exceptional quality of the other dishes and the wonderful dining experience. We highly recommend La Piazzetta for a truly memorable Italian meal in a beautiful setting within Casa de Campo. It's a culinary gem that shouldn't be missed!

BEST COCONUT TRES LECHES IN THE CARIBBEAN 😍🥥🌴 From the moment you’re seated, it becomes clear that this restaurant takes pride in every detail , from the selection of ingredients to the service and the way each plate arrives at the table. We started with a picanha served in a cast iron skillet. It had a perfect sear, juicy inside with a flavorful crust, complemented by roasted cherry tomatoes and confit garlic. The presentation was rustic yet refined, and every element felt intentional. A second cut, grilled slightly longer, was equally impressive, showing consistency and command in the kitchen. The burger was another standout. With crispy bacon, melting cheddar, and a fried egg with a runny yolk, it was indulgent but balanced. The bun was soft yet structured, and the fries were golden, crispy, and served in a sleek black container. A fresh green salad on the side brought color and lightness to the dish. The baked mozzarella, bubbling in a white ceramic dish, offered layers of comforting flavor , cheesy, hearty, but not overwhelming. Bits of tomato added brightness. It was comfort food, executed with control and taste. Ask for extra focaccia…!! To drink, I started with a frozen pink lemonade served in a curved hurricane glass, crowned with a maraschino cherry. It was cold, refreshing, and just tart enough to awaken the palate. Later, I ordered a Negroni made with Tanqueray No.10, and it was precisely balanced , bright, bitter, and elegant, the kind of cocktail that anchors a perfect meal. And then came the highlight: the coconut tres leches. Moist, fluffy, and topped with a cloud of whipped cream and shredded coconut, it was delicate and rich all at once. Without question, this was the best coconut tres leches I’ve ever tasted. Each spoonful was soft, flavorful, and unforgettable. It’s the kind of dessert that alone makes the visit worth it. Service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff were warm, attentive, and well-trained, striking the perfect balance between friendliness and professionalism. Plates arrived in excellent timing, and the entire experience felt smooth and thoughtful. The ambiance was stylish and relaxed, with natural light, clean design, and a layout that invites you to enjoy without hurry. Details like glassware, plating, and even the napkins felt curated and elegant. Whether you’re in the mood for a juicy steak, a gourmet burger, a comforting lasagna, or the best tres leches cake of your life, PEPERONI delivers with excellence. This is not just a place to eat , it’s a place to savor, to remember, and to return to. Highly recommended.

The sweet & spicy pizza was delicious and the coconut tres leches was TO DIE FOR. The waiter was extremely attentive of us and what we needed. Truly personalized experience. We were seated inside but the ambiance outside is also nice.

Punta Cana International Airport

International airport
Airport
Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) is a major hub with direct flights from over 28 countries and 96 cities worldwide. It's conveniently located just a short drive from Bavaro Beach, making it an ideal entry point for travelers to the Dominican Republic. The airport offers various amenities, including a VIP lounge that provides food, beverages, and clean facilities. Additionally, there are budget hotels nearby offering comfortable accommodations with air-conditioned rooms and balcony views.
This airport is very clean, efficient, and helpful for tourists that may not speak Spanish. They have availability to assist passengers that may have disabilities or the necessity for a wheelchair. They have an assortment of options for food, such as Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Cinnabon, and Nathan‘s. I was hoping they would have a food vendor with authentic Dominican food, but they did not. Bathrooms are relatively clean, TSA was slightly messy and unorganized, although efficient enough if on a time crunch.

Overall my experience was good. The airport was definitely different than what I have experienced. The plane unloads on the tarmac and does not pull up to a gate. They bring the stairs/ramp over to you and then you take a bus to get over to customs. Inside the airport the luggage came out quick but there were a lot of sales people as you try to leave the airport selling tours and transportation. I was looking for our car service and was very annoyed I thought we found them and the girl escorted us to a whole different company trying to sell tours and hotels. On the way back to the airport the experience was not as great. They are outdated with no intercom system and we could not hear the attendance over the crowds of people when our group was called. We again had to take a bus to take to the plane. This part was not great because they had two sets for stairs to get on the plane and we had to carry the luggage up the stairs. The backs stairs did not have a ramp. It was a beautiful day out and I wondered what the experience would be had it rained there was no coverage. Overall decent experience compared to other airports I have been to but they definitely need a few upgrades especially an intercom system.

As someone who travels approximately one-third of the year and has visited countless airport lounges worldwide, I can confidently say the VIP Lounge at Punta Cana International Airport is truly one of the best I've encountered. What sets this lounge apart are its unique amenities that you simply don't find elsewhere. The swing pool is an absolute game-changer – I've never seen anything like it in any other airport lounge. It's the perfect way to relax and unwind before a flight, especially in the Caribbean climate. The lounge also features multiple private areas, which is a thoughtful touch that provides flexibility whether you need a quiet space to work, want to relax with family, or prefer a more social atmosphere. The variety of spaces really caters to different traveler needs. Beyond these standout features, the overall experience exceeded my expectations. The lounge offers a level of comfort and luxury that makes the wait for your flight genuinely enjoyable rather than just bearable.If you're flying through Punta Cana, I highly recommend accessing this VIP lounge. It's worth every penny and sets a new standard for what airport lounges can offer.

Smooth experience overall, with room for improvement Overall, we had a good experience at Punta Cana Airport. The airport is clean, organized, and easy to navigate, which made our arrival and departure relatively smooth. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the tropical, open-air vibe gives it a unique and welcoming feel. That said, there are a couple of areas for improvement. The immigration lines were quite long, and with a bit more efficiency, the process could be much smoother for travelers. Also, the lack of aerobridges meant boarding and deplaning happened via stairs on the tarmac — not ideal, especially in extreme weather or for families and elderly travelers. Still, it was a pleasant experience overall, and with a few upgrades, Punta Cana Airport could be even better.

Overall nice airport. Spacious waiting areas. The best part is they have very nice play area for kids so it’s very helpful for families travelling with small kids.
Maheera S — Google review
Not a very big airport. No air conditioning on arrival at baggage claim area. No air brigades. Deplaning and boarding done with the use of busses or on foot between the airplane and the terminal. They use the mobile ramps instead of the jet stairs with much easier way to get on it if the aircraft. Departure and check-in areas are air conditioned. Few duty free stores in departure area. Few fast food restaurants like Wendy's, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and few others. A little open terrace area at the food court popular with smokers. Not like there is a better choice. It is what it is.

BUSY BUSY! Typical airport hassle and crowded! Very organized with staff that knows exactly what is going on and wheee to go! Very cleaned and modern. The workers are very helpful. Lots of customs to go through before boarding. Plentiful restaurants and shops for souvenirs. And of course lots of areas for people to get comfortable before flight.

Flew in from Toronto, and although there was a long queue at immigration, it moved pretty quickly. Vibrant airport with quirky features: lovely thatched roofs and even had some drummers/entertainers at the entrance into the baggage hall to welcome guests. Baggage reclaim was smooth and easy. Outside the airport can be a bit chaotic, but if you prebook your pick-up before arrival, you should be okay as there are many people wanting to make a quick buck off you if you're not careful. Overall, it's a good airport.

Las Américas International Airport

International airport
Airport
Las Américas International Airport, situated in Santo Domingo, serves as the primary airport for the capital city and is the largest in the Caribbean region. Handling around 3.5 million passengers in 2015, it ranks as the second busiest after Punta Cana International Airport. The airport operates direct international flights from various cities including Miami, Panama, and France. Visitors have praised its safety measures and efficient staff, making it a comfortable experience for solo travelers and families alike.
I had an overall very pleasant visit to Las Americas International Airport. The check in process for our baggage was relatively smooth and simple, save for a glitch in the eticket website. Moving through customs and TSA was quick, and painless as well. The airport is nice and clean and staff is as helpful as can be, given the language barrier. I would travel through here again.

The airport looked modern was clean and aesthetically pleasing. I was catching a connecting flight here. The connecting process was a bit confusing, however, there were personnel around to ask questions. I had to go through the entire check out process, which includes collecting my luggage, and then check in for the connecting flight. The check in line was long, but the process was smooth. Several shops were located inside the departure lounge where you can purchase souvenirs, gifts, confectionaries, local and international foods, liquors etc. Prices were a bit high in the airport, I paid US$3.50 for a small bottle of water. I heard other people complaining about the prices as well. We had to take a but to access the plane. The wait for the bus was a little lengthy because the bus(es) had to make several trips. The overall experience was good though.

Modern airport with friendly staff – signage could be better I recently traveled through Las Américas International Airport and overall had a good experience. The arrivals hall was quite crowded, and immigration took some time – but that's mainly because every officer takes their job seriously. Still, everyone was very polite and friendly throughout the process. Baggage claim was a bit chaotic and could use better air conditioning, but it worked. A useful tip: if you're arriving on a long-haul flight, check both sides of the baggage belts – sometimes luggage shows up where you don’t expect it. The signage in the arrivals area could definitely be improved. If it's your first time at this airport, you’ll likely need to ask for directions more than once. However, a big plus are the self-service terminals throughout the terminal that help you fill out your e-ticket – very handy and efficient. Once past immigration, both the passport control and security checks were incredibly fast and the staff remained friendly and professional. Shops inside the terminal are a bit pricey – but that’s something you come to expect at airports. Unfortunately, the smoking area was closed during my visit, which was a bit disappointing. Bottom line: Las Américas is a modern airport with friendly, professional staff. A little better signage would go a long way in improving the experience for first-time visitors.

For the traffic coming into and out of this airport, given the size of the capital and country, it is an extremely clean and well-maintained airport. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops to wander through if you’re there early (or your flight is delayed). The staff is friendly and helpful. Customs was a little awkward in places, but nothing detrimental or unpleasant.

The airport is functional and has improved over time, but the public café with a view of the runway is truly missed. It was a unique spot to watch planes take off and land. Hopefully, they bring something like that back.

Horrible experience !! My flight was at 7:40pm , arrived at the airport at 6pm . Had time to grab something to eat . Around 7:15 started walking tour gate and got to the gate by 7:20 airport attendant closed gate telling us that is closed. I didn’t receive any text or hear any announcements about flight or gate closing . Very horrible experience at this airport missed my flight because attendant closed gate 20mins early

Sometimes long queues and waiting time. Modern airport; free WiFi. Several restaurants, shops, and duty free shops.
Thomas — Google review
Horrific experience of power outage at the airport Sept 21, 2025. No power for over 5 hours, arrived 15 minutes after it went out. Ultimately had to book another flight that costs $$$$ and pay for taxi to LRM to guarantee I could leave the country that day. Half my group had to stay an extra night in Santo Domingo. The airport staff knew nothing, so had no info on what to do. No water, not able to use credit cards, no lights in bathrooms and unable to flush. Will warn everyone I know about this experience and to never use this airport.
