The La Romana cruise port is one of the most popular cruise destinations in the Dominican Republic and a resort day pass is one of the best ways to spend your time at port. Instead of piecing together individual activities, you get all-inclusive access to a resort’s beach, pools, food, and drinks for one fixed price.

We’ve cruised to the Dominican Republic many times and have done the “standard” tours. They’re great. La Romana has gorgeous beaches, turquoise waters, perfect weather, and warm hospitality. But we’ve found that the most convenient way to enjoy everything La Romana has to offer is with a resort day pass.

Below, we compare every La Romana resort day pass option available to cruise passengers. We include pricing, ratings, amenities, and distance from the cruise port. You’ll find everything that you need to make the best decision possible for your La Romana shore excursion!

// FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much is a La Romana resort day pass?

A La Romana resort day pass costs $89 for an adult. Child passes cost $60.

Which La Romana day pass is closest to the cruise port?

Viva Wyndham is the closest, about 30 minutes from the cruise port by road.

Can kids use a La Romana resort day pass?

Kids are welcome at Viva Wyndham (ages 3 to 16).

How do I get from the La Romana cruise port to the resort?

Taxis are easy to find right outside the cruise terminal. Check each listing to see whether round-trip transfers are included. If you’re taking a taxi on your own, agree on the price before you get in, which is standard practice here.

Should I book my La Romana resort day pass in advance?

Yes, we really recommend it. These passes can sell out quickly, especially during peak cruise season from November through April. Booking ahead locks in your spot and your price. You can reserve online through the links in each listing above. It only takes a couple minutes.

Is a La Romana resort day pass worth it?

In our experience, absolutely. Think about what a regular beach day costs: chair rental is $20+, then add food, a few rounds of drinks, and maybe some snorkeling gear. You’re easily past $100 per person and still dealing with logistics. A day pass wraps everything into one price and gives you resort-quality service, clean facilities, and zero hassle. For a port day in La Romana, it’s hard to beat.
