La Romana

Why is the rum gone?

Located in the Southeastern region of the Dominican Republic is the city of La Romana, just an hour and a half drive east of Santo Domingo.

La Romana is the nearest point from which to embark on a trip to the islands of Saona and Catalina, world renowned for excellent snorkeling and diving.

There are three golf courses open to the general public in La Romana, all operated by Casa de Campo: The Links, Dye Fore and Pete Dye’s famous Teeth of the Dog, where eight of the course’s holes skirt the edge of the magnificent Caribbean coast.

La Romana is easily accessible from the La Romana Int’l Airport or Punta Cana Int’l Airport. Transfer time from Punta Cana ranges from just 35 – 40 minutes via new 4-lane highway opened in 2012
