3: Casa de Campo Casa de Campo or the "country house" is the leading resort in the Dominican Republic. In the 1960s, the former Gulf + Western Corporation took a vast hunk of coastal land and carved out this chic resort. Rooms are divided into red-roofed, two-story casitas, each with four units, radiating out from the main building, and more upscale villas that dot the edges of the golf courses, the gardens near the tennis courts, and the shoreline. Nineteen of the villas each have their own private pool. Some are clustered in a semiprivate hilltop compound with views overlooking the meadows, the sugar cane, and the fairways down to the distant sea. The hotel also boasts eight restaurants and five bars and an array of other leisure amenities.
