It takes some time before modest locations within the country get discovered and become the next hit destination among tourists. If you are the type of person who's into the wild and raw state of nature's wonders, you will probably prefer that these tourist destinations don't get discovered at all. In the case of La Romana, it took a really long while.

La Romana has long been a sleepy town specializing in planting sugar crops and raising cattle. Despite being the third largest city in the Dominican Republic today, the city still maintains some of these activities alongside usual tourist destinations. Cities in the Dominican Republic are not that large to begin with anyway. In fact, La Romana is small enough to be almost entirely owned by a single corporation, the Central Romana Corporation. This either speaks about the companies in the Dominican Republic or the small size of the Dominican towns. I would say it is the latter.

Today, La Romana is a hotbed among tourists to the Dominican Republic, as some of the finest resorts are situated here. Among them is the Casa de Campo, considered by many to be the country's finest resort. This plus some other developments make it a favorite not only among ordinary tourists, but among high-spending golfers as well.

Another destination worth seeing in the La Romana is the Altos de Chavon, a replica Mediterranean village that copied a similar settlement near La Romana. The destination has become some form of art town with artist studios, craft shops, boutique restaurants, and other artsy places. For those looking for a place that is worth taking a picture of, Altos de Chavon has got to be it.

So if you are looking for some good tourist destinations with a relatively laid back atmosphere yet developed tourist infrastructure, a visit to the La Romana should be in order.
