From his blog: Los Altos - Dominican Republic’s Ultra Luxury Fractional Resort!

Casa de Campo Resort is one of best resorts in the Caribbean!

If you have read any of my past postings about what is happening in the luxury real estate opportunities in the Dominican Republic, you know I am a raving fan! The DR is not a secret anymore to the world travelers who want an amazing experience of Caribbean culture, luxury resorts, world-class golf courses, and GREAT cigars. The Dominican Republic is now known for its beautiful beaches and some of the friendliest people welcoming you to their tropical paradise.


“Los Altos” is a 116-unit ultra-luxury one, two and three bedroom villas and lofts development within Casa de Campo Resort. They even have a concierge service that takes care of EVERY detail of your Caribbean experience – from booking travel, hotels, transportation, and even grocery shopping so your kitchen is stocked when you arrive (Wouldn’t be great if they could rent out this service at our full time homes?).

Here is an example of what is included in the two-bedroom / three-bath / 2,533-square-foot lofts: swimming pool, complete furnishings, and even a garage-door opener! This limited-edition luxury property is right in the middle of the DR’s best golfing, spa and resort amenities in the Caribbean, and features some over-the-top gardens, and even an optional private pool. All of the Los Altos villas have breathtaking views of the Dye Fore golf course. I have heard from many golfers coming off the links that there is not a more beautiful sight in golf than to finish a round and watch a Caribbean sunset at the 18th hole of this course, which is actually perched at the top of the resort’s highest point! You will be blown away by this finishing hole. OK, so what is the price? How about a fractional ownership price of $200,000, to $795,000 for a full ownership! WOW! What an opportunity for a primary home or a part-time getaway!

AND, Los Altos is located right next to Altos de Chavon, a gorgeous replica of a 16^th-century Italian village, with shops, restaurants and many cultural attractions. In fact, in the village there is even a 5,000-seat open-air theater! The concert schedule they are planning is world-class! Casa de Campo Resort has already won the Travel & Leisure Magazine’s #1 “Family Friendly Resort in the Caribbean,” plus, the #1 “Golf Course in the Caribbean”! Casa de Campo Resort is one of the very special Caribbean paradises! What a place to have your “home away from home”! Los Altos’ villas and lofts are just a few of over 1,200 private villas at the 7,000-acre resort with outstanding amenities to satisfy clients with the most discerning tastes.

Owners of Los Altos villas and lofts enjoy ALL of Casa de Campo resort’s amenities and services. And, there are even MORE!

- Equestrian center!
- Tennis courts!
- Sailing facility!
- Full-service spa!
- Poolside lounges!
- Three championship golf courses: Teeth of the Dog, the Links and Dye Fore!

And even MORE! So, what are you waiting for? Contact me today for more information! The DR has become one of my Top Five favorite Caribbean destinations! Until next time… your Caribbean lifestyle detective is exhausted from the work required to bring these great opportunities to your favorite Caribbean website. OK, so I am just kidding! This “old dog” is having the time of his life!
