Green & Fair Hotel
Viva Wyndham Resorts
Dominicus Palace is the eco-certified property between the two Dominicus resorts — recognized as a 'Green & Fair Hotel' for environmental and labor practices. This doesn't mean the resort is sustainably austere; it means the certification indicates the property has committed to a measurable standard of ecological responsibility. For families where that matters, Palace offers a way to align vacation spending with values without sacrificing resort amenities.
The practical situation at Dominicus Palace mirrors its neighbor: 426 rooms, a beachfront trapeze, full exchange access with Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach (adding four more restaurants and beach facilities), and access to the Metamorphosis Spa — a 25,000 sq ft full-service facility notable for its scale relative to the resort's price tier.
The 1.5-kilometer beach is the best physical feature of both properties. It's consistently rated as one of the prettier stretches of sand on the Dominican Republic's south coast — calm, clear, good for swimming and snorkeling, with natural palm shade. The dual-resort setup means 670 + 426 = 1,100+ guests potentially sharing the beach on peak days, though the 1.5-kilometer length provides enough room.
Practically: 426 rooms in colonial-style buildings, garden or ocean view options. La Romana Airport (LRM) is 15–25 minutes away. All-inclusive covers meals, local spirits, non-motorized water sports, fitness, and daily entertainment. Spa treatments are extra cost.
