La Romana is NOT a typical Dominican town.
It is a "company" town and the La Romana Corportation owns the town... It is a town with nearly 100% employment, mostly in the tourism industry or with La Romana Corporation or with the Free Zone or one of the service business there.
There is a crime factor here. This town has a big population, and all the problems associated with high-density areas.
La Romana is a fairly ugly city compared to many other cities in the DR. The air is foul with the constant smell of two cycle oil and the stench of burning cane form the Central Romano Sugar Factory.It does not have much to show in terms of architecture or aesthetically meaningful urban spaces, being a "new" town - barely 100 years old. It also grew very fast compared that to the much older and slower paced La Vega or Seibo, which are more traditionally/quitenssentially Dominican towns. For a city of its size the infrastructure is one of the worst in the nation. Potholes are everywhere, stoplights do not work, and the slightest rain creates flooded streets with raw sewage and flowing trash. Crime is on the rise however, it is very seldom directed at tourists. There are no real cultural or historical attractions in the city.
La Romana is also home to Casa de Campo, one of the world's largest resorts.
