Stumbled across this article about the DR and Casa de Campo… worth a read.

La Romana owes its tourist boom to Casa de Campo, an internationally known resort considered by many to be without equal in the Caribbean (and that’s saying something). Casa de Campo and its 7,000-acre grounds were designed by fashion designer Oscar de la Renta, a Dominican native. There is very little you can’t do at Casa de Campo. You can play at water sports, including swimming, snorkeling, Jet Skiing and windsurfing; you can play golf on three courses, including the incomparable Pete Dye-designed “Teeth of the Dog”; you can try tennis, riding, polo (the resort maintains a stable of nearly 100 horses), trap shooting and more — the list goes on and on. Casa de Campo has a variety of accommodations, including hotel rooms and villas; off-season rates can be a real bargain. The town also has scheduled air service — a welcome change from the long transfer that travelers must often endure on Caribbean vacations.
