About La Romana

La Romana is a sugar town and resort base on the Dominican Republic's south-east coast, near Altos de Chavón, Saona Island and the beaches of Bayahíbe.

The city lies on the Caribbean coast of the south-east beside the Dulce River, with a small central park, a cargo port and a free zone where cigars are rolled. Nearby, the resort estate of Casa de Campo covers a large stretch of coast with marinas, golf courses and tropical gardens.
