CASA DE CAMPO Resort Lends Tropical Twist to Meetings W

Campo. A 7,000-acre tropical playground, the resort is the ideal site for conferences, incentives, tourna- ments, and special occasions. Casa de Campo’s two conference centers span

more than 15,000 square feet of flexible space and are perfect for gatherings of all shapes and sizes. Wi-Fi access, a business center, and service from an award- winning staff complement these facilities. What’s more, at Casa de Campo, groups can say

goodbye to boring banquet menus. An extensive vari- ety of options includes international and ethnic selec- tions prepared by chefs from around the globe. Veg- etarian menus are available for any event, and the resort’s chefs are happy to accommodate require- ments for specific or restrictive diets. For an extra- special experience, resident chefs at Beach Club by Le Cirque, of New York City’s renowned Le Cirque restau- rant, can create an exclusive menu for a group dinner. Magical events provide the final touch, and cre-

ative themed events may be held almost anywhere, such as the Grecian Amphitheater, the courtyards and fountains of Altos de Chavon, the Equestrian Center, or Minitas Beach — in fact, Casa de Campo’s venues are as limitless as planners’ imaginations.
