Dominican Republic - La Romana
There's something in the Caribbean that gets into the people; you can sense it the moment you arrive. There's no pressure, no stress, just an appreciation of what really matters in life - remembering to simply enjoy living. When you arrive in this most perfect corner of all creation you may find it gets into you too. Holiday of a lifetime? Certainly. Life-changing experience? Well there's only one way to find out...
Escaping the winter chill to cruise the Caribbean is as popular as ever for travellers from Birmingham, offering the opportunity to sample little tastes of the rich melting pot that makes up this tropical paradise. Thomson offer a 'cruise and stay' option, with one week spent ambling over the sea, visiting the islands of Greneda, Dominica, Antigua, St Maarten and Tortola. Another week is spent getting to know the start and end point for the cruise - the breathtaking Dominican Republic.
La Romana in the South East, is where wealthy Dominicans flock to escape city life. It's a golfer's paradise, with three golf courses at Casa de Campo, including the famous 'Teeth of the Dog' designed by Pete Dye. There's sailing, horseback riding, tennis, hunting and clay pigeon shooting. The main attraction of the region is Altos de Chavon, a re-created 16th century Mediterranean village overlooking the Chavon River - a working artist's village, dedicated to fine and applied arts, with cobblestone streets, artisan shops, restaurants, bars workshops, a church, an archaeological museum and a functioning amphitheatre.
Whatever you're looking for from the perfect holiday, you'll find it - and so much more - in the Caribbean.
