That's why many tourists (foreign and even locals) include this on their bucket list. Why? This place brings you in the times where many of us did not witnessed in the past. The ambiance will say it all.
Here are some of the things you shouldn't miss when you visit Las Casas:
1. Heritage Tour
This can be availed via Day Tour or when you book a stay like what we did.
2. Overnight Stay
To make the most of your Las Casas experience, I recommend you book a stay here for a night. I love the scenes here especially when the daylight hid down and all you can just see is the beauty of the place everywhere you take you eyes on.

We had our dinner at Cafe del Rio. The prices are bit expensive but the experience (and the background) is worth it!
My favorite part of our stay here is the BREAKFAST BUFFET!! Ha ha ha it is included to our booking.
8. Relax and Refresh
When we visited Las Casas, one of our goals is to have a relaxation. After the day tour, what we did is detour, stroll a little, wait for the sundown, satisfy our tummies and go back to our room to feel their comfy beds. The next day? We went straight to the breakfast buffet and chill by the beach after.
