Features
What to expect: A mini-country unto itself, the 7,000-acre Casa de Campo includes 1,500 private vacation homes for wealthy Americans and Dominicans, one of Latin America's principal polo complexes, three golf courses, a shooting club, an equestrian center, a marina village, and a replication of a 16th-century Italian village above a river gorge. Rolling terrain features natural forests, extensive gardens, and fruits and vegetables for resort restaurants. Amenity highlights: Running a quarter-mile along the Caribbean Sea, a beach dotted with palm trees leads to a sand-bottom swimming and water-sports area protected by an artificial reef. Centrally located near guestrooms within the resort's main-building area, two large pools occupy a two-level complex divided by a gentle waterfall. The lower pool offers shade cabanas and a large swim-up bar. The upper pool leads to a thatch-roof, wood-deck dining area that shades the swim-up bar below. Insider tip: By rented bicycle or golf cart, exploring the private villa complexes—where professional baseball stars Sammy Sosa and Alex Rodriguez and many others have vacation homes—is a fascinating tour.
