BLACK BEAR RATING: ★★★★★
If you want the golf trip without making your partner feel like they came along just to wait for you, Secrets deserves a serious look.
This adults-only all-inclusive combines a beautiful Caribbean beach, pools, spa, dining, water activities and upscale room choices — including Preferred Club swim-outs and larger suites.
We especially like it for couples, anniversaries and adult golf trips where everyone wants a great vacation, even if everyone isn't golfing.
You play golf. They enjoy the resort. Everybody wins.

Beautiful Bayahibe beachfront with multiple pools and clear Caribbean water.
Snorkeling, kayaking and other non-motorized water activities are available.
Our take: Beach, pool, drink, repeat. This is one of the reasons we'd send an adult couple here.
356 rooms and suites with furnished balconies or terraces.
Options include ocean views, pool views, Preferred Club swim-outs and larger suites.
Selected suites are approximately 828 sq. ft. with separate living space.
Asian • Latin • Indian/Mediterranean • Buffet • Seafood/Grill • Café • Bars
Guests also have access to additional dining options at neighbouring Dreams La Romana.
24-hour suite service is available.
Our take: Plenty of choice without having to leave the resort.
Private lounge • Dedicated beach area • Exclusive pool • Swim-up bar • Upgraded minibar & amenities • Concierge
Selected suites also offer butler service.
Our take: Worth looking at if the room, privacy and private spaces matter to you — not automatically worth paying for everyone.
Beach • Pools • Spa • Fitness • Yoga • Tennis • Pickleball • Snorkeling • Kayaking • Diving • Excursions • Entertainment
Your partner has options. Lots of them.
Which makes disappearing to La Estancia for a round considerably easier.
Couples • Anniversaries • Adult Golf Trips • Golfers With Non-Golfing Partners • Beach & Spa Travellers • Premium-Room Buyers
Especially strong when one person wants golf and the other person absolutely does not.
Looking for a high-energy party resort, nightclub-first vacation or small boutique property? This may not be your best match.
Recent guest experiences are very positive overall, but room location and privacy, occasional noise or service inconsistencies, and the value of Preferred Club aren't described the same way by every guest.
Our read: come here for the beach, resort, dining, drinks and relaxation — not because you're looking for an all-night party.
Great. Book your accommodations directly with the resort or booking provider of your choice.
Black Bear Ventures doesn't sell or book accommodations. We provide this information as a complimentary resource for our golf guests.
Travelling with a non-golfing partner? This is exactly the type of resort we'd put on the comparison list.
Once you know where you're staying, tell us your travel dates, number of golfers and how much you'd like to play.
We'll help you build your La Estancia golf experience.
You handle the room. We'll handle the tee times.

BLACK BEAR RATING: ★★★★★
Casa de Campo is more than somewhere to stay — it's a destination.
Luxury accommodations and private villas, the Marina, Minitas Beach, exceptional dining, spa and wellness, equestrian experiences and some of the Caribbean's most recognized golf make this one of the premier stays in La Romana.
For golfers, however, there's another story worth discovering just beyond the resort.
The Dye Legacy.
Pete Dye created the legendary Teeth of the Dog at Casa de Campo. His son, P.B. Dye, brought his own vision to La Estancia Golf & Country Club.
You've played the father. Now play the son.

La Estancia: Nearby
LRM Airport: Very convenient
PUJ Airport: Longer transfer
Luxury hotel rooms, suites and an extensive collection of private villas, many with pools and dedicated villa services.
Our take: For couples, stay close to the resort action. For a golf group, a private villa can turn the trip into an experience of its own.
Home to Pete Dye's legendary Teeth of the Dog, plus Dye Fore and The Links.
But there's another Dye course nearby.
Our take: If you've come this far to play Pete Dye, make time to experience what his son P.B. Dye created at La Estancia.
The Casa de Campo Marina adds restaurants, bars, shopping and a completely different evening atmosphere to the resort experience.
Our take: Dinner at the Marina after golf? That's the kind of problem we like having.
Minitas Beach • Spa & Wellness • Equestrian Centre • Shooting Centre • Boating • Water Sports • Altos de Chavón
There is considerably more here than golf.
Our take: A non-golfer doesn't need to follow you around to have an exceptional vacation.
Beach • Spa • Marina • Shopping • Dining • Pools • Tennis • Pickleball • Equestrian • Water Sports • Altos de Chavón
This is a complete destination, not simply a golf resort.
Which makes adding another round of golf considerably easier to explain.
Luxury Travellers • Golf Couples • Golf Groups • Villa Groups • Higher-Spend Travellers • Golfers Travelling With Non-Golfers
Especially strong for guests who want the golf trip and the luxury vacation at the same time.

Two generations. Two very different courses. One remarkable golf legacy.

Add La Estancia to your Casa de Campo golf trip and experience another chapter of the Dye Legacy.
Looking for a simple all-inclusive where everything is included in one price? Casa de Campo is a different kind of vacation.
This is a large luxury destination with golf, villas, restaurants, Marina, spa and experiences that can add considerably to the cost of the trip.
Our take: Come here because you want choices, quality and the freedom to build the vacation you want — not because you're hunting for the cheapest week in the Caribbean.
Great. Book your accommodations directly with Casa de Campo or the booking provider of your choice.
Black Bear Ventures doesn't sell or book Casa de Campo accommodations. We provide this information as a complimentary resource for our golf guests.
