Casa de Campo, La Romana.
Casa de Campo is one of the Dominican Republic's premier resorts it's reputation precedes its self as a entertainment venue, golfing destination, hotel and property with wealthy residences. When you are on the property it is obvious a lot of money was invested as well as the guest and people who live there are generally people of means.The venue is in fact beautiful and enjoyed my stay there.
Casa de Campo is in La Romana. La Romana is in between San Pedro de Marcoris and Punta Cana on the South Coast of the Dominican Republic.
Security at Casa de Campo
My greatest lasting impression of Casa de Campo was how tight security is. When you arrive on property you are stopped at the front gate and asked to show your identification as well as proof of your reservation. Guest and residents have different gates. Residents simply have a swipe card and can enter the property in-hindered however guest are asked a series of questions as well as required to permit security to look in the back seat of your vehicle.***Apparently previous guest have tried to sneak chicas on the property.
Where ever you are on the property there is a strong security presence.
Casa de Campo is NOT chica friendly
Once you check-in they give you an identification card with your name on it. I booked 2 separate reservations for 2 separate days because the plan was to check out with one chic and a few hours later check in with another chic that I previously knew from La Romana. When I checked out I checked in again and tried to add the second chics name to my registration which they permitted but they would not give me a guest identification card with her name on it, they said security at the front gate would have to authorize her to come onto the property.
I went to security at the front gate and showed them a copy of her cedula but they refused to let her enter the property. It appears as if my error was not making the registration with the chicas names in question on the reservation and not checking in with them. How security enforces their policies is subjective and totally up to them I was at a loss because I already paid for my rooms both days after I found the discrepancy.
I made the best of a bad situation by taking my dates to dinner and a cabana off property both days.
This situation was a massive inconvenience for me however I think I understand the reasoning behind their actions since they have had so many problems with strange chicas, in any event it's water under the bridge at this point. I went around and round in circles with management and security but they would NOT budge!
The grounds and the entire property is well kept
Lodging
There are residential villas and several different classes of hotel rooms on the property
Prices vary because there are almost always internet specials available. Prices also vary depending on the season and what entertainment is available on the property. For example when Jennifer Lopez was performing on the property prices were very high.
I had a basic room and paid a little less than $200.00 per night.
Food
There are several restaurants on the property and depending on the plan you purchase they are all inclusive. I did not partake because I spent most of my time off property with my dates.
I did order room service for breakfast one morning.
A breakfast that I would have normally paid 500 pesos for was 1300 pesos...yessssssssssssssssssur 1300 pesos YIKES! I am glad my dates weren't with me...lol!
