The word ‘budget’ is not normally associated with Casa de Campo, the Caribbean’s most complete resort, the World’s Leading Golf Resort (2010), a celebrity hang-out and undeniable paradise and so we were very surprised to come across a blog post entitled ‘Casa de Campo Vacation on a Budget,’ and so here we share with you this blog post by Merecedes Sanchez of bechicmag.com – which reveals how she did manage to vacation in Casa de Campo on a budget (and had a great time doing it!)
Now before I turn over the post to Mercedes, I would just like to say a word on ‘budget’: remember ‘budget’ doesn’t mean cheap, a vacation in Casa de Campo is not cheap, Casa de Campo is a luxury, high-end resort and the prices of accommodation, food, services etc are set to reflect that – however it is possible to vacation in Casa de Campo without breaking the bank, so here’s how Merecedes did it:
Casa de Campo Vacation on a Budget
If you’re on a tight budget, here are some tips on how you can enjoy a few days off without spending much:
Don’t buy any new clothes Repurpose! For last year’s vacation, I went credit card happy and bought several new outfits and expensive bathing suits. With the exception of a few Victoria’s Secret items I purchased with a gift card– I didn’t buy any new clothesfor my trip. As hard as it sounds, you too can resist! Besides.. When going on a tropical vacation where you might spend most of your time by the pool or beach, there’s a good chance you won’t be wearing much anyway.
Make your own cocktails
Skip the bar! Upon arrival, hit the local liquor store or supermarket and stock up on what you’ll need to make your favorite cocktail. In my case, we went to elJumbo in La Romana.
Split the costs
Our villa had eight bedrooms, full kitchen, private chef, butler, pool and jacuzzi, laundry, room service and so much more! We divided the costs (including tips, groceries, golf cart rentals, etc.) between 15 people.
