Fodor's Review:

At the country's most illustrious resort, golfers vie for tee times at the three famed Pete Dye-designed courses. Family reunions in luxury villas are perennially popular. Regular rooms are called casitas and are in two-story, nondescript blocks (ask for one of the six newest), but inside they are soundproof and commodious, with down pillows, walk-in closets, and balconies overlooking the gardens. What's great is that each room (and villa) comes with a golf cart; there's an efficient shuttle, too. Minitas Beach, though not expansive, has had many new chic amenities added such as new Euro furnishings and Balinesse sunbeds. The restaurant at the beach looks amazing, with contemporary white sail installations and upgraded cuisine thanks to the new partnership with New York's Le Cirque; high up in Altos de Chavón a second Le Cirque restaurant was expected to open in 2008. Booking just a room (EP) at Casa is possible, but few go this route because the all-inclusive plan is a better value, as are the golf packages. Pros: The luxurious new Cygalle Healing Spa opened in 2007, staff is excellent and most are long-term employees, organization and efficiency at this resort is stellar for the D.R. Cons: Not as beach-oriented as other D.R. resorts, so nongolfers may not feel quite as much at home, casitas do not have water views.

Great place for activity-filled vacation!

Our teenage boys LOVED our trip to Casa de Campo. We played tennis, golf, rode, shot skeet... The only disappointment is the beach. It's very small, rocky and over crowded. We stayed in a villa which was nice and we had a wonderful couple who made our b'fast everyday and did our laundry. If we were to do it again we would rent a house. The good was OK. Nothing spectacular but good and the kids liked it (which is a major hurdle).
