Introduction
Once a small sugar-cane town, La Romana was transformed into a tourist haven when the luxurious Casa de Campo resort opened a couple of kilometres out of town in 1975. It has since flourished as a tourist destination. It is the third largest city in the Dominican Republic and is the capital of the southeastern province of La Romana.

Weather
La Romana enjoys a tropical climate, with the usual hot and humid weather year round. Daytime temperatures average 29 °C while nights rarely drop below 21 °C. May to October is just slightly warmer than the November to April period, the latter also being the dry season, making this time the best for a visit. From May onwards rains intensify and hurricanes are possible from August onwards. That said, anytime of year there are some possible refreshing rain showers.
