The momentous event gained wide media attention when Univision’s top-rated entertainment show “El Gordo y La Flaca” broadcasted live for three consecutive days from Casa de Campo. Hosts Lili Estefan, Raúl de Molina, and Clarissa Molina guided viewers on an insider’s tour of the resort’s iconic sites, from Altos de Chavón’s cobblestone lanes to the unspoiled Playa Minitas, with exclusive back-stage access and interviews with celebrities accentuating the grandeur of the historic celebration.
“Casa de Campo is not just a resort – it’s an enduring testament to Dominican luxury and hospitality,” Raúl de Molina commented during the transmission. “Even after 50 years, it still stands as the crown jewel of Caribbean tourism.”
As part of the ongoing 50th anniversary festivities, Latin Grammy winner Carlos Vives is set to perform on December 7. This coincides with the inauguration of daily direct American Airlines flights from Miami to La Romana Airport (LRM) on December 5.
