The cheapest is by bus and the easiest is by taxi...

What, you thought they might be one and the same - not a chance.

The bus (SICHOEM) leaves from Parque Enriquillo.
You can also take Higuey service (SICHOPROLA) aqlso from Parque Enr. which can drop you off in Romana in front of JUMBO.

You can take either of two. Depends on where in Romana you need to get off. If you need to go the the center, Sichoem is better. If it does not matter, take Sichoprola.

For Sichoem, ask to take the Expreso bus. If not, you would end up takinga small minubus where your luggage would not fit and you would not ride comfortably. Expresos are large buses with A/C.
For Sichoprola, you can take any bus, as all are large and most have A/C (all Expresos and most of non-expreso buses).

Parque Enriquillo is at between street Jose Marti and Duarte, with Ravelo crossing. Just off Avenida Mexico. Just ask the taxi driver to take you to PE.
Ask them to take you either to Romana or Higuey bus stop (Parada de La Romana or Parada de Higuey).

Buy the ticket and board the bus.

Ticket price would be around 120 pesos, give or take a few.

Hours of departure - from early 5am till 7 pm sometimes 8pm.
5am to 7pm you are always fine.

trip duration - about 90 minutes.

Would yopu know if there are buses from Boca Chica to La Romana ?

There are small buses (guagua) from Sichoem that pass via Boca Chica (Las Americas) and takie you to La Romana. You can flag down one in front of Shell gas station. Make sure you ask if they go to La Romana (or check for the sign in the windshield) because SP de Macoris, El Seybo and Hato Mayor guaguas pass through there as well.
