Dreams La Romana, Bayahibe

Dreams La Romana is a luxury hotel with facilities to entertain the whole family. Situated right on a beautiful beach, there is a choice of pools, including a lazy river, waterslides and a splash area for little ones. For older kids who are too cool for the kids' club, there is a teen club with a programme of activities aimed to appeal - foam parties, bonfires on the beach, gaming and more. And for those (adults and kids) who like a little pampering, the spa offers some wonderful treatments, including a kids' range for 6-12-year-olds -"Chocoholic body wrap" anyone?!

Room-wise, this hotel works well for families of all sizes, with lots of interconnecting room options as well as single rooms sleeping 2-4 and bigger suites. For a little extra luxury, the Enclave rooms and suites include some nice touches such as use of the private Enclave beach and pool, an exclusive restaurant for breakfast and lunch and a VIP lounge - and there are swim-up rooms too.

As stays at La Romana are on an ultra-all-inclusive board basis you could be quite content spending your whole holiday enjoying the resort's à la carte restaurants and the array of activities and entertainment on offer; however, if you want to stretch your legs further afield, a 10-minute walk from the hotel brings you to the attractive little village of Bayahibe, where you can explore the local shops, bars and restaurants or perhaps take a boat trip out to neighbouring Saona Island.
