Gran Bahia Principe La Romana, Dominican Republic

A small property with enough facilities to rival a hotel twice its size, the Gran Bahia Principe La Romana is a great choice for a relaxing break.

Set in tropical countryside, this hotel feels quite secluded – but it’s not too far off the beaten track. In fact, you’re close to some of the south coast’s top attractions, like the artists’ village of Altos de Chavon. Plus, it curls around the coastline, fronting a three-kilometre stretch of white sand and turquoise water beach.

The style here is laid-back luxury. Take the lobby for instance, with its polished floors, vaulted ceiling and plump sofas. And up in the bedrooms, the vibe continues. Heavy, dark-wood furniture stands out against cream walls and tiled floors. Comfy sofa-beds and armchairs add a homely touch, while in the bathroom you’ll find hydro-massage showers.

The best thing about this place, though, is the pool. It’s a massive curvy number set-up with water fountains, palm-topped islands and a swim-up bar. And nearby you’ll find a whirlpool bath and a splash pool for children. It’s all surrounded by a roomy terrace accessorised with loungers and thatched parasols.

Whether you opt for the main buffet restaurant or go for one of the Italian, seafood or fusion à la carte options, there’s plenty of choice. After dinner, head for Pueblo Principe, the hotels colourful strip of shops and bars. You’ll also find nightly entertainment here, ranging from merengue dancing to Caribbean-themed shows.
