We were looking for a quiet couple of days away, and this was a perfect tranquil location. The hotel was calm and peaceful , the decor modern and restful. We had a little balcony with a table and chairs, so we could sit and admire the lovely views in total peace. The spa was not open, which was a shame. The breakfasts were ok, buffet style, and in the evening we found the restuarant food to be of good quality , well prepared and presented. The service was a bit slow one night, as there was only one member of staff waiting on a busy restaurant. The service in general was very good, marred only on check-out when we were told that we had not paid for our accomodation, though we had paperwork from hotels.com to prove that we had! This was resolved by another member of staff. We would recommend La Romana, however, and would return for a quiet break. It's in a handy location for the airport and the surrounding area, with its vineyards and bodegas, and the traditional marble works, is both intersting and beautiful. We thought it would make a lovely wedding venue.
