Everything you need to know about La Romana
La Romana all-inclusive resorts cluster around calm Bayahibe, the closest launch point for Saona and Catalina islands and home to the Casa de Campo golf estate. This is the Dominican Republic at a slower pace, a fishing-village feel at Bayahibe, calmer water than Punta Cana, and the country's most famous luxury estate in Casa de Campo, with its Pete Dye golf and Mediterranean-style Altos de Chavon village. It is the best base for the two headline island trips, and an easy pairing with Punta Cana an hour east.
