About This Resort
More estate than resort — a vast property outside La Romana with the legendary Teeth of the Dog golf course, a marina, an equestrian center, and its own stone artists' village at Altos de Chavón. Private Minitas Beach handles the sand. Sprawling and old-money in feel, and great for groups who like to stay busy.

Guest Reviews
I have stayed at Casa de Campo twice with a separation of 5 years. While much is still the same, the service has gone down drastically at the resturants and bars. Expect to wait, and wait somemore. Expect it to be nearly imposible to make reservations at any of the resort owned resturants. In fac...
Casa de Campo Hotel is truly special — we absolutely love it here. It’s incredibly family-friendly and perfect for traveling with babies. The kiddy pool is amazing and made our stay so easy and enjoyable. I’m also obsessed with the gym — one of the best resort gyms I’ve experienced. And Lagos break...
We stayed in a private villa with our extended family and it was an absolute dream. Having our own golf carts made zipping around to Minitas Beach Club and the pools so much fun. The villa staff, Maria Rodriguez and Elvis M. took flawless care of us, cooking amazing breakfasts in our home every morn...
Absolute nightmare! Ruined birthday, aggressive staff, and unbelievable incompetence I have visited Casa de Campo multiple times and I actually live in the Dominican Republic, so I know what local hospitality should look like. But after my recent experience, I will NEVER spend another cent here, an...
TL;DR: The golf is a 10/10 fever dream. The hospitality is a 2/10 fever dream. Come for the views and golf, stay because the shuttle never actually showed up to take you home.

What the week is actually like
8 restaurants, 2 food trucks and 7 bars/lounges across the resort, Altos de Chavon and the Marina; all-inclusive guests dine around the participating signature venues
main resort pool area plus Minitas Beach Club pools including a 23-meter infinity pool overlooking the Caribbean and a shallow pool for children
Minitas is a sheltered, rock-protected cove on the DR south coast with flat, calm water; snorkeling along the rocky edges of the bay; resort and regional sources say La Romana's reefs, islands and steep shelf largely deflect sargassum (resort's own claim, corroborated by secondary guides)
- Calm water, swimmable straight off the sand
- Sargassum is rare here

What it does best
- Exceptional golf credentials with Teeth of the Dog, Dye Fore, and The Links.
- Very broad activity mix: beach, marina, equestrian center, shooting center, polo, racquet sports, spa, and watersports.
- Strong family infrastructure including supervised programs, teen activities, nanny services, and the Minitas Beach family pool complex.
- Spacious rooms and villas with golf carts included.
- Very strong recurring guest praise for staff, grounds, amenities, and cleanliness.
Where it costs you
- Large property means frequent golf-cart rides and less walkability.
- Guest sentiment flags high costs, extra fees, and value concerns.
- Some rooms are described as traditional or slightly dated compared with newer luxury resorts.
- Beach experience is good but not the resort's main differentiator compared with its golf, villas, and activities.
What else the research turned up
Things to know before you book
- Casa de Campo is a vast 7,000-acre resort community rather than a compact beach resort.
- A personal golf cart is central to the experience because the beach, marina, Altos de Chavón, restaurants, golf, and activities are spread across the property.
- The resort is strongest for golf, families, villas, multi-generational groups, equestrian activities, racquet sports, and travelers who want a full resort community.
- This is not the best fit for travelers who want a simple walk-everywhere beach resort.
- Some guests love the scale and polished service, while recurring review friction centers on high costs, fees, and the distance between amenities.
Hidden tips
- La Romana airport is the easiest arrival option when flight routing works because the resort is only minutes away.
- Families and groups should compare hotel rooms against villas because villas add private pools, daily service, and more residential space.
- Review dinner locations before booking because several restaurants are a golf-cart ride away from the main hotel area.
- Ask at check-in which restaurants and bars are included if using an inclusive package.

Things people wish they had known
- The resort feels more like a private resort community than a single hotel.
- Golf carts are not a novelty; they are necessary for most guests.
- Not every restaurant is near the hotel rooms.
- The best fit is often golfers, families, groups, villa travelers, and guests who want many activities.
From Reddit

Another Reddit thread highlights the size of the property, reliance on golf carts, multiple pools, Minitas Beach, and the importance of understanding which restaurants are included in a package.
