La Romana, Dominican Republic (July 8, 2013) – Casa de Campo – the number-one resort in the Caribbean with the finest golf in the region – has earned the prestigious Gold Tee Award from Meetings and Conventions (M&C) magazine.
This highly-respected award is presented annually to outstanding golf and meeting properties worldwide. Gold Tee Award winners are nominated and selected by the readers of Meetings and Conventions Magazine – more than 70,000 corporate, incentive, and association meeting planners – based on overall meetings, lodging, culinary and golf excellence.
Meeting professionals and readers select Gold Tee recipients based on exceptional meeting and golf facilities, backed up by outstanding service and hospitality.
“Being recognized by M&C reinforces Casa de Campo’s ongoing commitment to quality golf, meetings and events,” said Peter Bonell, Chief Marketing Officer. “More specifically, it illustrates how quality golf can add a vital element of camaraderie and bonding to enhance a program.”
The resort’s 15,000 square feet of conference and meeting space is located in the Cacique and Flamboyan Conference Centers, part of the central area of the resort. Additionally, endless open-air locations for themed parties and a myriad of diverse outdoor venues are available.
Three resort golf courses (90 holes) are complemented by an array of lodging options (185 elite guest rooms, a variety of luxurious three- to five-bedroom villas, or 64 rooms at the Pete Dye Golf Lodge) and seven resort restaurants. Beyond golf, the resort boasts world-class equestrian, shooting and tennis facilities; as well as a beach, marina, spa and Altos de Chavon, a cultural enclave modeled after a 16-century Mediterranean village
with artists’ studios, craft workshops, art galleries, restaurants, and boutiques.
This is not the only honor recently bestowed on Casa de Campo, which is located along the southern coast of the Dominican Republic along the Caribbean Sea. Earlier this year, the resort recognition from the Caribbean and Americas 2012 World Travel Awards including Caribbean’s Leading Golf Resort (seven-time recipient; fifth consecutive year) and the Dominican Republic’s Leading Golf Resort (ninth consecutive year).
Getting to Casa de Campo has never been easier thanks to the recent opening of the Coral Highway. The all-new road puts Casa de Campo just 45 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport. That gives visitors another fast way in, along with La Romana International Airport (5 minutes away) and Santo Domingo Airport (one hour away).
Casa de Campo is easy to get to, but as smart travelers and others can attest, difficult to leave.
