The Dominican Republic is the second largest nation in the Caribbean. Occupying the central and eastern two-thirds of the island Hispaniola, it is approximately 20,000 square miles. Since 1966 it has been a democratic nation with elections held every four years. As part of the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI), it has maintained political stability and close ties with the U.S. government; it is also one of six Caribbean nations holding a tax treaty with the United States. The official language is Spanish, and the currency is the Dominican Peso.

Casa de Campo, located in La Romana, along the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic is one of the most beautiful and exclusive tourist-vacation destinations in the Caribbean. This sun-drenched resort, which enjoys temperatures between 72 and 85 Degrees Fahrenheit year-round, covers some 7,000 acres of lush tropical plants, offering villas, hotel-operated accommodations, golf courses, tennis courts, and the Minitas beach.
