Beyond lush jungles and humid plains, on the sundrenched coast of southeast Dominican Republic, is Dreams La Romana Resort and Spa - a short, 40-minute ride from Punta Cana airport. The resort is equally enticing for family getaways, couples in need of a romantic escape, or a week-long trip with friends.  

Rooms come with furnished balconies or terraces, in case you want to soak up the sun in some privacy. Rooms contain either 1 king-size bed or two double beds with air conditioning and climate control. Mini bars are stocked daily with water, soft drinks, beer and juice to quench your thirst, while bathrobes and slippers are there for added comfort. Chances are, you won't be spending most of your time in your room, but it is nice to know that rooms are outfitted with all you need to relax and unwind.

Choices are endless when it comes to food and beverage, with one international buffet that changes its lineup daily, and a whopping seven a la carte restaurants to choose from. Dining options include Asian, Italian, Mexican, Grill, Seafood, French Gourmet and Dominican - and all it takes is a reservation to dine at one of these specialty eateries. As for bars, there are seven in total, including a quintessential swim-up bar and one in the disco.

Altogether there are two pools and a separate pool for kids, but there are many other activities to check out on site. There are also plenty of other services available for a little extra, including glass bottom boat tours, golf packages, private romantic beachfront dinners, windsurfing, and more!  If you do have kids with you, The supervised Explorer's Club will keep your kids totally entertained with exciting games, an ocean trampoline, arts, crafts, movies and more!
