  • Watch Out Abusive Fees to get in!
    By Gines, 08/10/09
    I returned to Altos de Chavon after 20 years to take my daughter to see the beautifull place I remembered. For my surprise since few months ago they began to charge an abusive fee of 25 US dollars per person to get in. This is for nothing. Obviously after a long trip from Sto. Domingo I paid the charge. Eventhough the place is beautifull it has ...

  • A shameful exploitation
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/16/08
    There is something inherently wrong with a bunch of wealthy foreigners going into a lesser developed country and building a village that has absolutely nothing to do with the surrounding nature, with the local people, the native culture, tradition and technology, just for the heck of entertainment allowed by cheap real estate and cheap labor. My ...

  • beautiful
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/30/07
    Altos de Chavon is absolutely beautiful. I was in awe of the grandness of it all. The view of the river is spectacular. The collesseum (sp) was wonderful took many photos.

  • great photo opportunity
    By ginny, 04/11/07
    After a very long bus ride we arrived at Altos de Chavon thinking we were walking into an historical sight. Instead we were told that the entire area was built within the last 100 years in the style of an older city in Europe. It was a beautiful place to walk and take pictures but, for the length of the bus ride, the heat and lack of ...

    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/04/05
    I was completeley fascinated with the architecture of the cobblestone village of Altos de Chavon. It has an artistic beauty and elegance that makes you want to stay and live the adventure of a phtographic scenery you should be a part of.

  • Heavenly sightings
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/26/05
    I completely adored this place. My family is from La Romana and I had not been there in 15 years. The place was absolutely breath taking. Like the name states "Altos de Chavón" meaning the Heights of Chavón, one feels like they are closer to the heavens as the river strolls on by. The only annoying thing was the walking but it was well ...
