We visited Minitas Beach Club in Casa de Campo last August and it was one of the highlights of our stay. The beach is absolutely beautiful, with crystal clear water, soft sand, and a very relaxing atmosphere. The place is very well organised and clean, and the service was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect during our visit. There are also great options for food and drinks right by the beach. It’s a perfect place to spend the day with family or friends — swimming, relaxing, and enjoying the amazing views of the Caribbean. Overall, Minitas Beach Club offers a fantastic beach experience. If you are staying in Casa de Campo, it’s definitely a place you should not miss. 🌴☀️🌊
Awesome food. Service is slow, but when the wait is over, you will leave having enjoyed an awesome lunch or dinner by the beach.
Minitas Beach Club, located within the exclusive Casa de Campo resort in La Romana, is far more than a beachfront restaurant. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed into a relaxed yet refined atmosphere where every detail feels intentional. Few places have made me feel as genuinely cared for. The service is one of the restaurant’s strongest assets, led with grace and professionalism by maître d’ Yosary Sánchez, alongside Service Manager José Doroteo and a remarkable team that includes Yorbel, Natanael, and Yensi. Their attentiveness feels natural, never rehearsed, and their warmth elevates the entire experience. The setting is stunning. With open-air seating just steps from the Caribbean, the space is designed with light woods, neutral tones, and clean lines that blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Whether you’re visiting for lunch under the sun or dinner beneath the stars, the atmosphere is consistently serene. If you’re with an adults-only group, I highly recommend spending time at the oceanfront infinity pool. Reserved exclusively for adults, it offers a calm, elegant space with full service and unobstructed views of the sea. The food reflects a thoughtful blend of international and Caribbean flavors. The tuna tartare with Dominican avocado and citrus emulsion is a standout starter—fresh, vibrant, and well-balanced. The grilled dorado over coconut risotto is perfectly executed, both delicate and flavorful. For a heartier option, the Caribbean-spiced lamb rack is rich and tender, cooked with precision and full of character. The drinks menu also deserves praise. The wine list includes labels from Europe and the Americas, while the cocktails are creative and well-crafted. The Ron Fashioned, made with aged Dominican rum, cinnamon, and cacao bitters, is particularly memorable. Happy hour is offered daily from 5 to 7 p.m., with select cocktails at half price, making it the perfect moment to enjoy the view and a carefully mixed drink. Nearby, several other venues complete the experience. Minitas Market, open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., sells artisanal gifts, beachwear, and local gourmet items. Minitas Deli & Pizza offers wood-fired pizzas and sandwiches from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m., with its own happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m. Palmita Café is ideal for breakfast or a light snack and is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. On the beach, you’ll also find casual options like Brasa and Massa food trucks, the Squeeze Juice Bar, and Cinco Ice Cream Shop. A little-known fact about Minitas Beach Club is that its current culinary and design direction was inspired by the visit of a well-known Catalan chef in 2018, who encouraged a complete reimagining of the space. Since then, the restaurant has hosted international artists, designers, and celebrities during private events at Casa de Campo, earning a reputation for discretion and quality. Minitas Beach Club is open daily from 12 p.m. to 12 a.m., with bar service starting at 10 a.m. The infinity pool operates from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is reserved for adults. Sunday brunch, from 12 to 4 p.m., features live cooking stations, ambient music, and off-menu specials. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends, and dress codes apply: casual by day and resort casual by night. Swimwear is allowed in lounge areas but not in the main dining room. Minitas Beach Club is not just a place to eat. It’s a place to savor the moment, appreciate the setting, and enjoy genuine hospitality at every level. Whether you’re here for a romantic evening, a long lunch with friends, or a peaceful solo escape, it delivers a consistently memorable experience.

Great beachside restaurant within the Casa de Campo resort. Beautiful location right at the water's edge. They offer a very extensive and varied menu and the food choices are many with fresh local ingredients. The staff is excellent! Well trained and very helpful the moment you look up for any assistance! We arrived on a cruise ship and wrote to the concierge to secure a reservation but they said it was private and only for guests and residents of the resort. However, we took a taxi and went anyway and we're welcomed by the security gate who just asked us for our cruise ship cards and let us in. At the restaurant, we were asked if we were staying at resort or were guests of a resident and we I said no, the hostess smiled and said "no problem! Welcome and we are happy to have you visiting us! So don't be discouraged if they tell you otherwise! Go and enjoy! It's worth it!
