- Marie-France D2 contributionsBeautiful day! Our guide José was super. Très ok is to discover thé local Area. Then We did 45 min of snorkeling, went after on Catalina island, enjoyed the beach and the crystal blue water with a good Pina colada in a pineapple. After that went to a super restaurant for lunch with an amazing view of the ocean. The food was insane! Worth your money. But if you really want the Best spot for snorkeling i’ve seen better … not a lot of fish and all the same fish…. And for an undetermined amount of time, bring your snorkeling gear as they cannot lend you some for health issues.Written September 17, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MaryvCaliOakland, CA139 contributionsGood tour through the sugar cane fields and local town. Tour took us through the town and see the people that live in the community, they are very happy to see people and the children greet you with joy. Our guide was cool and spoke at least 5 languages - which is impressive. Tour was about 3 hours. They broke down some sugar cane for us to sample. Recommend you bring a bandana if not not they sell them for $5. There is a stop that provides light snacks, water and soft drinks. If you are interested in buying souvenirs, bring cash. Also the pick up didn’t come inside our hotel, we had to go outside the gate for pickup. Would recommend this tourWritten August 22, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LuizDutraNetoRio de Janeiro, RJ8,621 contributionsA scenic 16th century Mediterranean village created in 1976, on the shores of "Río Chavón", houses the campus of a very important Dominican institution - the "Altos de Chavón School of Art and Design". It was founded in 1984 and offers courses on Digital Design, Graphic Design, Fashion Design, Illustration and Fine Arts. The initiative provides art and design education to talented and qualified students, with scholarships being granted to those that cannot afford the connected costs. Its association with "Parsons The New School for Design" allows the most talented to pursue further studies in its New York's campus. Take your time and stroll along the village of "Altos de Chavón", home of this important experience. And don't forget to bring your cameras! Fond memories to take home!

A small gallery exhibiting paintings, photographies, drawings, sculptures and crafts by international and Dominican artists, even including works by the local students of the "Altos de Chavón School of Art and Design". A quick visit and an opportunity to buy works of future famous artists, encouraging and rewarding their efforts toward their future careers.

- James E1 contributionI heard that this was a bucket list course - the Pebble Beach of the Caribbean - and it certainly lived up to the hype! It’s quite pricey for non Campa de Caso guests (500 USD) but worth it IMHO. The layout is both breath taking with 7 holes along the coast line including three par 3s. Caddies are a MUST here. My caddy Ramon helped with the club selection and the correct lines of the tee. Trust me - you NEED local knowledge with the amount of wind out there. Many holes do NOT play the measured yardage so having a good caddy will save shots and golf balls lol
Be warned - this course is TOUGH. I’m a 1.5 index and took a beating fighting 20-30 mph crossing trade winds off the ocean. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you shoot considerably higher than your handicap
The staff is super friendly and very accommodating. The lady in the pro shop was a sweetheart and help me pick out souvenirs to take home. The caddy master spent 20 minutes talking to me about the history of the course and the layout. The folks at the bar were extremely nice. Even the maintenance guys waved and complimented my good shots lol. I highly recommend playing hereWritten August 9, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
