Find out what kind of vacationer you are in La Romana
Are the days starting to wear you down, especially with the sun setting across most of Canada before 5:00 p.m.? You’re not alone – whose idea was Daylight Savings Time, anyways?! But fear not, because we’ve got your ticket to brighter days – literally – with all inclusive vacations for every budget to beautiful La Romana on the southern shores of the Dominican Republic. The only question left to answer is: what kind of vacationer are you? Do you prefer to head south with your crew in tow or are you more the type to fly solo? Soak up as much sun as you can or dive deep into the local scene? We’ve got a name for each, so read on to find your dream getaway and learn how you can change the season in La Romana, Dominican Republic!
For the adventurous “Treetop Skimmer”
Does your ideal vacation in paradise involve adventures in nature and exploring off the beaten path with an excursion? You can’t miss Cotubanamá National Park, stretching over 310 sq. km and includes Saona and Catalina islands off the southern coast of the Dominican. Hike across the rugged countryside, home to over 500 different plant species and 300 types of birds or dive beneath the waves and swim through protected coral reefs alongside colourful marine life. Don’t forget about the park’s 400-pluscaverns, some covered in pictographs shedding light on the island’s colourful past. You may not be zipping over trees but you’ll definitely get a unique view of the Dominican’s natural beauty!
For the travellers who are old (and new) “Friends from School”
Are you part of a tight-knit group from your school days that loves to spend time together, whether that’s trying something new or just hanging out at your favourite coffee shop a la Friends? Why not turn your weekly game night into a weeklong golf getaway at Casa de Campo Resort and Villas, home to championship golf courses designed by legendary course architect Pete Dye. These absolutely stunning greens have been a hot spot for celebrities looking to tee off in paradise, so even if you’ve never swung a club before, you’ll be in good company. Plus, when you book with Sunwing Vacations, you can enjoy reduced course fees so you can do a practice round before you actually keep score.
For the “Generous SPF Applier”
Have you perfected the art of doing nothing in paradise – unless it’s finding the perfect spot on the beach, refreshing your bevvy or reapplying your sunscreen (because we vacation responsibly!)? Down in La Romana you’ll find the first Blue Flag certified beach in the Caribbean – Playa Dominicus! This sprawling stretch of white sand earned this qualification for its high level of water quality, safety, environmental education and information. There are plenty of all inclusive resorts located along this beach but it’s also open to the public so you can visit any time. Grab a drink at the iconic lighthouse bar, soak up the sun and splash around in the shallows or dive deeper and explore the coral reef offshore.
For the ones with the “Met at the Pool” mentality
We get it, you’re not afraid to put yourself out there, so why not go way out there and mingle with the locals and the island’s culture at Altos de Chavón! This replica of a 16th century European village was built to be La Romana’s cultural centre. Overlooking the winding Chavón River, you can walk the cobblestone streets and browse the multitude of hand-rolled cigar shops, jewellery stores and arts and craft vendors. The centrepiece in this historical haven is the St. Stanislaus Church, a popular wedding venue in the DR (wink wink) and the 5,000-seat Grecian-style outdoor amphitheatre where artists like Frank Sinatra have performed over the years.
It’s time to tell winter to talk to the hand with a great getaway to La Romana at an even greater rate during our Big Boxing Week Savings event!
