3rd time back and won’t be our last

We have been to this resort two other times and enjoyed this time just as much. The food is amazing, staff is friendly, rooms are clean and spacious. We do find the beach swimming to have quite a lot of coral - bring your swimming shoes if this may bother you. We love the live music at night time, as well as how many activities are always going on throughout the resort- there’s something for everyone. We enjoy every restaurant here and staff is very involved to make your stay great.

Had a very relaxing time at this well maintained adults only resort.

The resort was very clean and the grounds were well kept. The staff were attentive and pleasant and the food and entertainment were good. We never had to line up for a restaurant except at the adjoining family resort. We never ventured off again and just stuck to the adults only resort. The beach didn't disappoint except for the large amount of Sargasso that washed up every day on the shore. I think that this could have been cleared more than it was. Aside from that it was always easy to find a Bali bed or chair. We will return.

Great Holiday before Covid19

Had a great time at the resort. Loved the adult only side but not the other (way to busy). Food was good, bars not busy. Only frustration is people reserving chairs near the pools and then not using them.

great people beautiful grounds

Most of the vacationers were Canadian at "Punta Canada". Fun loving and friendly people made the trip very enjoyable. We stayed on the adult side since at our age Disney World days are far behind us. In many of the other reviews they mention that topless was allowed and even called before and after we made our reservation. No one was topless at the pool for our 7 days but we did see a topless bather on the crowded beach face down. We live however and had a great time. Don't do the presentation for the club. We did it so the person would get $10 and I figured that was a lot for him and would help. We were promised a massage and be only 90 minutes. #hrs later we walked out with a voucher for a 2 minute massage, plus we tipped $20. Stay at the pool and drink with the Canadians.

Please stop overbooking.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. We have been there 3 times. Our only concern is the overbooking that ocvurs. We had to hnge rooms on day 2. Two other couples that were with us also had to change rooms on day 2 and 3. This takes time out of our very short stay there. Packing , unpacking. Checking and rechecking with the desk. You used to do better. Also be empathetic in your service when this occurs. Don't feel like an upgraded room is a favour. It is in fact a disruption to a otherwise great vacation.

Excellence

Mon expérience fût merveilleux a cet hotel, moi et ma conjointe avions déjà prévu un nouveau voyage a votre hotel en septembre, mais étant donné la pandémie mondiale de coronavirus, nous allons attendre un peu avant de booker, mais nous espérons y retourner en septembre pour notre anniversaire de mariage

I was soo pleased with this resort. Visually stunning and very clean. Staff were extremely attentive and professional. The Buffet had a Vegan section for lunch and dinner which was perfect for us. Entertainment was good especially the two violin players, amazing!

Exceptionally clean resort, polite and attentive staff,overall excellent resort.

Fantastic service all around. Stayed at the adults only Royal Catalonia Bavaro. Very clean. Staff were always ensuring that service was exceptional. We had a group of 18 people and never had line ups, we always had a place to sit - at beach, beside pool, and restaurants. Reservations were easy to make. People seemed to enjoy their jobs and genuinely were happy.There were repairs with the plumbing on our floor and all the water was shut off temporarily while repairs were completed. Once repairs were completed, the staff checked on us multiple times to make sure our room was fully functional. Every evening cleaning staff came around to see if anything additional was required. All around enjoyable and relaxing trip.

Exceptional visit

This was our15th visit to your resort. The staff are our Dominican family. Unfortunately John passed away suddenly during our recent trip. I cannot say enough about the love and support I received during this difficult time.

First time in Punta Cana

My wife and I stayed for a week at Catalonia Royal Bavaro, and we were not disappointed. From accommodations, to staff, to food and beverages. We had a fantastic week.

GRIGORIOS KOUTOUPAS14-03-20

Very nice

No major complaints

JOHN KURLE14-03-20

Relaxing and quiet resort

The food was good and staff were nice and friendly. Beach was really nice but swimming is not good. Lots of floating sea weed and most of the swimming areas is sea weed and rock/coral. Room was clean and most of house keeping were great. It's a very quiet resort that is great for relaxing and catching up on some much needed sleep.

BRIAN FRANCIS BOLM14-03-20

Great resort

This is our third time at Catolenia and we bring friends or family with us because of the great layout and service

KENNETH PENNANEN14-03-20

The Rennie's

The room is very nice, but the food was not very good this year. The meals were never hot and definitely not delivered in a timely manner.

GORDON RENNIE DONALD13-03-20

Great holiday

Great Resort very well laid out

CECILIA LANGENDYK12-03-20

Catalonia Royal Bavaro

We had an great time at this resort. We enjoyed the food, staff and service. The restaurants were easy to access and were welcoming. The cocktails were well made and the bartenders were fun. The only part I didn’t like was the persistent staff members who were trying to get you to a breakfast to sell you something. If this is something you want great but for me I was on vacation and not interested but continually asked when going through the lobby.

JOHN KRISTALYN12-03-20

Overall Thoughts

My wife and I have been travelling for years. At least 20 trips. This is the first resort we will come back to. Every meal was excellent. Service was fabulous, which I should name Alexander (the wine person) and (spelling) Enrique. At any time in the resort capacity existed. You didn't need to rush for chairs. You didn't have to be concerned about not being able to have dinner at the restaurant of choice. That was very relaxing.

DAVID JOHN VISSER11-03-20

Very satisfied

The only thing I did not like are the guys (employees) in the lobby trying to sell you upgrades. I do understand that they are doing there job but once you tell them you are not interested, they should let go.
