Dreams La Romana Resort and Spa DOminican Republic

[SYK]

So we are currently looking for an all inclusive resort for the wedding. We have 60 guests and found all the Dreams resorts as options and all of them gave us a quote and discounted price since it’s off season etc. Resorts in Punta Canta gave us a reasonable price, Dominicus gave us a really good deal then La Romana Resort and Spa gave us their regular price and so hard to negotiate. Will someone tell us how special is this resort that they won’t give us a good discount when all my guests are staying in their resort for 5-8 days. We are bringing $$$ in their resort and not give us a discount? 

What is so special with this resort? 

Can somebody recommend a beautiful resort?

I have stayed at Dreams La Romana and Dreams Dominicus.  The two resorts are very different in style and decor. A few comparison points are below and fact sheets are attached for both.  

Both resorts are approx 45 minutes from Punta Cana airport, close proximity to Saona Island, Catalina Island and Altos de Chavon. Top championship golf courses in the Caribbean are just minutes away including Teeth of the Dog, Dye Fore, The Links and La Estancia – all designed by world-famous Pete Dye. Restaurants are similar at both resorts.  Both offer the Explorers Club for Kids. 

Dreams Dominicus 

• Brand new resort and in 2016
• 488 rooms (however additional construction was underway)
• More contemporary style & decor
• Good beach area
• Rooms were very nice
• Preferred Club located in main lobby and adjacent to main pool & beach front
• Food was good
• Center plaza area with nighttime entertainment
• Main lobby is small, but outdoor bar off lobby is nice

Dreams La Romana

• Originally built in 2003 & opened as Dreams La Romana in 2008
• 756 rooms
• Recently renovated and new preferred club adults only lounge & pool added 
• Rooms are more traditional Caribbean decor
• Grounds are very lush and tropical
• Good beach area
• food was good

Hi Patt,

thank you for the input. We chose and booked Dreams La Romana resort and Spa. I hope we made the right choice. 

Do you know how much would it cost for transportation from the airport to the resort?

Hi Patt, 

Help! My aunt knows somebody that went to DR for a vacation and the resort didn’t allow then to go out and explore the island. How true is this?
