Renovations in 2019 brought a chic, modern style to the spacious rooms, all of which have flat-screen TVs, free minibars, and rainfall showers.

All-inclusive rates cover meals and drinks at a buffet restaurant and a la carte eateries serving Asian, Mediterranean, and Caribbean cuisines, plus a 24-hour coffee shop. Overall, this property offers a relaxed getaway for couples, but for something more centrally located in Punta Cana, consider Sanctuary Cap Cana.

Hilton La Romana, An All-Inclusive Adult Resort

What Are the Design and Scene Like at the Hilton La Romana, An All-Inclusive Adult Resort?

This sophisticated adults-only all-inclusive resort offers a peaceful beach getaway removed from Punta Cana crowds

Formerly the Dreams La Romana, Hilton La Romana adults-only resort is an upscale property offering affordable all-inclusive rates. The Dreams property was a huge hotel with adults-only rooms, but when the hotel changed hands, the company decided to split the resort into an adults-only side and a family-friendly side. Renovations throughout 2019 took place at both the Hilton La Romana, An All-Inclusive Adult Resort, and its sister hotel next door, Hilton La Romana, an All-Inclusive Family Resort.

The renovations brought a chic, beachy style to all rooms and common areas, first noticeable in the lofty, open-air lobby. Cozy white sofas with throw pillows in earthy greens and blues sit around natural wood coffee tables, and hanging basket chairs overlook the Premium-level outdoor pool. On one side of the lobby is a 24-hour coffee shop for caffeinated drinks and pastries, while the lobby bar occupies the opposite side and has a few flat-screen TVs. A beach-inspired modern look continues into the upscale rooms and open-air restaurants. Guests are typically found at one of the two outdoor pools – the main ocean-view infinity pool with a bustling atmosphere and the Premium-level pool – both of which have a swim-up bar. The beach area isn’t as large as some in Punta Cana, but it’s calm and pretty.

The atmosphere here is largely relaxed and best suited to couples seeking a peaceful getaway, though nightly themed shows, a late-night disco, and casino provide some entertainment. Couples wanting to be closer to the Punta Cana airport should consider Sanctuary Cap Cana, while families may prefer the feature-packed Majestic Colonial Punta Cana all-inclusive resort.

Where Is the Hilton La Romana, An All-Inclusive Adult Resort Located in the Dominican Republic?

On Bayahibe Beach near La Romana, a 50-minute drive from Punta Cana International Airport in the Dominican Republic

Despite its misleading name, Hilton La Romana adults-only resort isn’t actually located in La Romana, it’s in Bayahibe — a small town near La Romana. Bayahibe Beach is about a 50-minute drive from the Punta Cana International Airport, or about a 20-minute drive from La Romana International Airport. Located on the Dominican Republic’s southern, Caribbean coast, Bayahibe has calmer, clearer waters than Punta Cana or Puerto Plata, which are located on the island’s northern, Atlantic coast. This means Hilton La Romana’s beach isn’t plagued by seaweed like its northern neighbors. The only problem with Bayahibe’s fairly secluded location is that there isn’t much to do outside of the resort —unlike Punta Cana, which is built up with lots of shops, restaurants, and bars.

Hilton La Romana adults-only resort rooms were completely renovated in 2019 with chic, modern decor.

Standard amenities consist of sitting areas, flat-screen TVs, individually controlled air-conditioning, free minibars stocked with beer, soda, water, and juice, coffee- and tea-making facilities, MP3 docking stations, and free Wi-Fi. Closets have electronic laptop-sized safes, ironing facilities, and umbrellas. Premium rooms have bathrobes and slippers, and they get access to exclusive areas. Bathrooms are well-sized and have rainfall showers, as well as free upmarket toiletries, hairdryers, and lighted magnifying mirrors.

On the downside, room walls are on the thin side, and noise from the late-night entertainment can be heard from some units.

What's the Beach Like at the Hilton La Romana, An All-Inclusive Adult Resort?

The beautiful white-sand Bayahibe Beach has calm water and tons of umbrella-shaded loungers, but it's not as wide or long as some beaches in Punta Cana.

The Hilton La Romana beach has soft white sand and clear blue water. The beach has an area for Premium-level guests, and there are tons of lounge chairs, umbrellas, and two beach bars. There’s also a wooden dock that extends out into the water that allows guests to access the coral reef that lines one side of the property.

A huge perk is that off to one side of the beach is a water-sports and tour excursion vendor, so guests can book activities such as snorkeling, island boat tours, and scuba diving. Island tours depart directly from the beach.
