LA ROMANA TO HIGÜEY
TOP OF CHAPTER
La Romana
POP 130,426
This bustling city is a convenient stop for those traveling between Santo Domingo, 131km
to the west, and the beach resorts further east. Surrounded by vast sugar plantations, and
the enormous Casa de Campo resort to the east, La Romana feels slightly more prosperous
than neighboring cities. There isn't much beyond Casa de Campo other than some great
restaurants to refuel on cuisines and dishes you don't see on every other menu between
here and Santo Domingo - nearly worth a stop alone.
