Casa de Campo was named the Caribbean’s Leading Golf Resort, for the fifth consecutive year, at the 2012 Caribbean and Americas World Travel Awards. The resort also was named among the top 20 family and top 20 golf resorts by the readers of Andrew Harper’s Hideaway Report travel newsletter.  Caribbean Journal, the leading digital newspaper covering the region, recently revealed its annual rankings with both the resort and the Teeth of the Dog earning first-place honors.
