Dominican Republic – La Romana
La Romana is a city in the southeast of the Dominican Republic. Here you will find hotel complexes of simple style but also more exclusive resorts for the individual tourist.
The largest share of the Dominican Republic’s economic revenue comes from tourism. Most tourists come from the USA. This is followed by Europeans, mainly Germans. The main tourist areas are in the north and southeast of the Dominican Republic. The towns in the north are Puerto Plata, Sosua and Cabarete.
To the southeast are the towns of Punta Cana, Boca Chica, Juan Dolio and La Romana. The capital Santo Domingo is definitely worth a visit. Here you will find the oldest buildings of the New World. The Samana region has so far been spared from mass tourism, as many tourists do not accept the long journey of 3-5 hours. The most frequented tourist places are Las Terrenas and Las Galeras.
The tourist strongholds can be easily booked from Europe. However, if you want to make domestic flights or package bookings as an individual tourist to explore the island further and to travel to more distant areas, you have to make an effort in the country itself, as tour operators rarely cover this area.
We therefore organized our exploratory trips on our own on site. Our port of call was a resort complex in La Romana in the southeast of the island. From here we explored the island by rental car. The resort complex has comfortable rooms in small houses, each with two to three units, with a large communal living room on the ground floor.
The houses are embedded in a spacious and extensive park landscape. The complex also has its own golf course, a polo court and its own beach area.
The interior is cozy and homely. There was also no skimping on small accessories that make the stay pleasant. Of course, you will find the usual infrastructure such as restaurants, lobby, etc. in the main building.
