What is the difference between a (Shakespearean) romance and a comedy?

Robinson Crusoe asked:
I was flipping through my complete works of Shakespeare book and saw that The Tempest was labeled a romance. I read the play and although it seems to have similar characteristics to a comedy (a love story with a planned marraige in act 5) it seems somehow different. I can’t quite put my finger on it though, any information would be greatly appreciated.
