La Romana is a bustling port city on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic. Once a major hub for sugar processing, La Romana is now a major tourist town. The biggest draw for cruise passengers is Casa de Campo, a vast seaside resort that offers tennis, horseback riding, and the number-one ranked golf course in the Caribbean. Those who don't want to spend the day at a resort may enjoy a guided walking tour of the old town, scouring the local markets in search of the island's famous pale-blue gemstone Larimar, or relaxing by the beach with a cocktail in hand.
