La Romana
Once known as a sleepy sugar-cane town, the southeast city of La Romana used to go unnoticed among the Dominican Republic's tourists. That all changed when a luxurious tropical paradise resort opened just over a mile (2 km) from the town, making the region synonymous with exquisite turquoise waters, white sandy beaches and some of the finest golf courses and holiday resorts the country has to offer. These days, La Romana is one of the country's most visited regions, with many of the world's rich and famous making this relatively secluded tourist destination their summer playground. Couple that with plenty of markets selling exotic foods, trinkets, clothing and souvenirs, and visitors have got the perfect recipe for a holiday paradise.
With crystal clear waters lapping these Caribbean shores, visitors will find no shortage of water activities to enjoy, such as deep-sea fishing, scuba diving and snorkelling. Travellers can also visit one of the cigar factories, explore colourfully housed neighbourhoods or sit under tropical fronds and people-watch in the beautiful city park. Keen golfers will think they've died and gone to heaven when they tee off on championship-ranked 18-hole golf courses, while hopeless romantics can ride horses along the beach as the sun dips below the horizon.

Tue 17 Feb 26: Oranjestad
Aruba's capital, Oranjestad, is the first stop for most visitors. Its small harbour, once reserved for schooners and fishing boats, now attracts cruise ships from all over the world, and the island's Queen Beatrix airport is located just south of the city. Despite the thousands of tourists that pour into the town, it has managed to retain its traditional charm. Oranjestad's downtown streets are lined with pastel-coloured Dutch colonial houses with ornate gable roofs. The orange-coloured facades not only point to the capital's name, but to the island's connection to the Netherlands and William of Orange, a Dutch monarch instrumental in the gaining of Dutch independence. A highlight in Oranjestad is the Archaeological Museum, with exhibits on Aruba's original Arawak inhabitants. In the restored 18th-century Fort Zoutman, the Museo Arubano displays Aruba's pre-European and colonial eras. The fort itself is one of Oranjestad's most popular attractions, built in 1796. It played a pivotal role in battles between Curaçao and British troops in 1803. In the late 1800s, the Willem III tower (named after the Dutch king at the time) was added mto act as a lighthouse. Enthusiastic shoppers will find central Oranjestad packed with boutiques, shopping complexes and glitzy 24-hour casinos. However, it is possible to escape
this tourist zone and discover the more authentic town with its lively, if slightly run-down bars, where visitors can enjoy a quiet beer and meet the locals.
