You touch down at the international airport in La Romana and in exactly seven minutes you get to your room. There, they hand you the keys to a golf cart, which will be your comfortable and inseparable companion throughout the trip. Not even half an hour after landing, you can be hitting balls on the practice course. You play 18 holes on Teeth of Dog, while your family enjoys the spa, goes shopping or for a stroll around Altos de Chavón, a small charming town with a Tuscany feel that will manage to take you back years in time.
You finish your game, take a dip in the ocean and sit down to eat right after at one of the restaurants in the resort, for example, The Beach Club by Le Cirque. And, just like that, comfortable, in your bathing suit, you can savor a delicious lobster salad before having a nap. Because you should never let go of the good traditions.
Later you go for a walk around the Marina and enjoy a peaceful afternoon of fishing or you go scuba diving to discover all the hidden wonders of the sea in its untouchable crystal clear waters. You’ll still have time to take another quick dip in the ocean before getting ready for a nice dinner. You can go to the movies, have a drink at one of the bars or learn to dance merengue, just to name a few of the numerous activities.
That’s what a complete day is like in the Casa de Campo, in La Romana, in the ‘Flor del Este’ (Flower of the East) of the Dominican Republic. That’s how the Spanish executive told us, born and raised in Granada, Rafael Torres, president of the resort of reference of the Caribbean, chosen once again as the best in the world of 2015. Torres took advantage of a trip to Spain to kindly attend to Ten-Golf to explain first-hand why Casa de Campo should be an obligatory destination for anyone who appreciates the game of golf.
Being chosen as the best resort in the world is the reward for a job well done, the perfect combination between tradition and experience on the one hand, and its cutting edge style and investment on the other. That’s the only way this gem has been able to maintain itself for more than five decades now on the crest of the wave. “We always strive for the best, excellence, with the objective of making each guest feel at home. We have luxurious, very exclusive facilities that we are continuously improving upon. Without getting into further detail, we recently completed a multi-million dollar investment in the driving range. Our wish is that every client has a one-of-a-kind experience”, he assures Ten-Golf.

Casa de Campo was founded in La Romana in the seventies and since then it’s been the vacation destination of choice for an infinite number of American tourists. Relax, beach, golf, water sports, horses, fun…A more than sufficient itinerary of things to do. They not only stay at the resort, but little by little have been buying up the fabulous villas that are for sale. “It’s not only a vacation destination, but also a place where many have chosen to have as a second home, a place to go and disconnect each year. Europeans are becoming more and more prevalent, the Spanish in particular, that choose to stay at the Casa de Campo and who leave highly impressed. That’s how we’re maximizing what it has to offer. It’s an ideal place because what Casa de Campo has to offer goes together with its charming character and the nice, friendly people who live there”, he points out.
This is quite possibly the greatest difference between Casa de Campo and other resorts, both from the Caribbean as well as other parts of the world. “Here you can interact with and spend time with the people, get to know another culture. It’s not just about slapping a bracelet on your wrist and not leaving the hotel for the entire week. Here there is much more, you can go on a walk through the town, through Altos de Chavón, and that is an enriching experience for anyone”, he affirms.
