Dominican Republic Resorts

The resort is composed of a series of three-story buildings, softened with landscaping, that are each trimmed with latticework and vaguely Victorian-inspired fretwork; each unit has mahogany furniture, ceiling fans, a balcony or patio, and, in many cases, views of the sea. The gardens and lawns surrounding the site are dotted with gazebos, flowering shrubs, and tropical plants and palms.

The resort is spread across 247 acres of ocean-fronting land that's divided into three distinctly defined "villages", the quietest and calmest of which is the Beata Wing, which is just a bit removed, but easily accessible on foot to the more animated Catalina and Saona clusters.

The resort consists of 506 stylishly appointed rooms including superior guest rooms, suites, junior suites and penthouses. Each room features a spacious balcony or terrace and some offer stunning ocean views. All rooms are equipped with:

• 2 double beds or 1 king size bed
• Balcony or terrace with 2 chairs and 1 table
• Individually controlled air conditioning
• Ceiling fan
• Daily restocked minibar
• TV with cable channels
• Direct dial telephone
• Voice mail
