5/5/2021 10 wonderful nights

This place was perfect for us. It is smaller then a lot of the resorts in the area and all adult. It is affiliated with a larger resort which you have access to. I can not speak on the events as they were not up and running while we were there. There was a night of a lady singing that was wonderful.

Getaway

It was the perfect getaway. The food was delicious from all four of thir restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful. The scenery was the best part. It's exactly what you would expect from a resort in paradise.

It was a very pleasant weekend, But minor improvements could turn this place into perfection.

It was Valentines weekend and the wife book this place to run away from the horrible cold storm that was approaching Texas on 2-12-2021. We got there and the facilities were very well kept, the room was magnificent, due to the greatest excuse now days (Covid-19) there was no shows but there was nightly live performed music that was very diverse and entertaining. The food, I give them a 7.5 out of a 10 but the meal schedule during the mid afternoon and the variety could improve a lot, specialty at night. If you get hungry past 10:PM and you didn't build yourself a grab and go bite for later, you are out of luck unless you belong to their preferred club that have room service included. My personal opinion about this place is that is decorated and built to charge much more that what they do, that way a much more classy crowd would visit. We stayed there for 3 nights for less than $600, $547 to be exact, now, that's what I call a super bargain for that quality of a place, but when you price a place that nice for that price, all kinds of guests also stay with you making what could have been a super weekend, a OK weekend. For the quality of place, if they improve their meals and variety schedule, I will easily pay another $400 or $500 for 3 nights just to get better quality of guests, not great but outstanding value for your money.

Room for improvement

The hotel was excellent! the staff as well! How ever COVID has taken a toll on the amount of staff available for exclusive services.

Thank you Catalonia

I unfortunately stayed at another all inclusive resort the day before which was very "Unimpressive" to say the least, just terrible. Once I got to Catalonia, it was like a breathe of fresh air. The room was great, pools amazing and I like that there was access next door, thus even more options. The things that I did not like were the bars closing at 12 which is really early. Luckily I made friends and we had our own party at the beach bar till 4 a.m. every night I was there. Also I was only able to book the same restaurant even though others were clearly open, not sure what that was about. Other than that it was a great experience overall. Also another side note. They don't allow Uber past their gates which is completely ridiculous. I was very late to the airport because of this. An Uber is about $10 to the airport whereas a Taxi is about $30. You really need to offer free airport transfers like most other resorts.

Love and Relaxation

CRB was a great experience, even during the times of COVID. My husband and I booked this trip for our 10 year anniversary back in May... Then COVID happened. The staff went out of their way to ensure our stay was memorable. There are random messages when you look around about what life and love should be about. This is definitely a resort to make sure you aren't pre-occupied with your phone and you take the time to look and see all of these beautiful messages about why you are in-love with your significant other. The food was excellent, even during the times of COVID. We recently visited another Catalonia resort, which we have visited many times in the past and this trip, their food and restaurants were just not as good as normal. So, if this is the case, then I can't wait to experience CRB in a non-COVID environment. The drinks are top-notch and it doesn't seem that they water down their alcohol like many other resorts do. The grounds are very well manicured and kept very tidy. We got 2 massages on the adults only side. The first massage was in the morning, before the party started and was very relaxing. The second was at 5pm and I was very disappointed in this experience. 1) The music and people were so loud outside, that you couldn't get a true relaxation and 2) The therapists left the door to the room open as there was nobody else there to watch the front desk. Other guests kept coming in and talking to them.... while my husband and I were naked, on the tables, getting massages!!! This was very rude of the other guests and unprofessional of the staff to allow it to happen and one of the therapists leave the room, not once, but twice to help the other guests. The entire staff was friendly and will become friends right away!

Great trip!

Thank you, we had a great time. The pandemic made things a bit weird, but it was exactly the relaxing vacation needed!

CASSANDRA TAYLOR14-12-20

My early December stay.

Had an amazing stay at this hotel the staff all around were plesant they all work really hard. The grounds of the hotel and rooms were kept super clean. My only suggestion is that they fix up the food a little bit it needs more seasoning. There was good entertainment every night that kept us busy. For Covid times it ended up being an awesome vacation. Thx again to all the nice staff that showed us an amazing vacation!

Good but could be better

We do realize that during Covid times the resort cannot be as it used to be. However customer service did lack a in a few areas. It seemed whenever we tried to get a reservation at a restaurant we were told no. The front desk did not offer to see what was available next door until we asked about it, and that was a couple days into our stay so we did miss the opportunity to go next door and dine more. I would suggest a bigger room service menu. Due to not all the restaurants being open it was very hard to get reservations at each of the restaurants. It would have been nice to stay in the room and order room service(with more choices on the menu) instead of settling for the same old restaurant and its menu. Beach: We arrived on a Thursday and the beach was not raked of the weeds until Tuesday our day of departure. Why not clean the beach each morning? You have plenty of staff and if it is kept up with each day it would make the job easier. The beach looks sooo bad when the weeds are on it, plus the weeds drift out about 10' into the water making it not peasant to walk into the water. It does seems the beach next door is kept up better than at Royal. Lastly I would highly suggest that the front desk have plenty of change so we could convert our larger bills into smaller bills so that we could tip the staff. I approached the desk 4 days in a row to be told NO that they had no change for us. We really like tipping and I am sure the staff likes receiving the tips too. Why is this so hard? It will certainly make the staff happier getting a tip.

Awesome

Nice resort and space

Nice resort with very well kept garden and beach area. Because of Covid19, there were probably fewer guests than usual and enough space to avoid the hustle and bustle. On weekends, there are more party guests who want to dance to the rhythms, which automatically makes it a bit louder in these areas. Very friendly staff, but if you don't speak Spanish and try English, it is limited to some things in the first step to get the correct answer. But what can then be solved by others, or with a lot of sign language. The food is generally very well cooked. A little more variety, especially for longer stays (from 2 weeks) would also be desirable. The breakfast is very diverse and there is sure to be something for everyone.

Très belle semaine au Catalonia Royal

Avons passé une excellente semaine au Catalonia Royale Punta Cana. Service efficace et courtois. Nourriture variée et très bonne. Les mesures de sécurité face à la COVID19 sont assez respectées. Je recommande cet endroit.

Beautiful resort, mostly good service, not really focused on Americans

We got a great deal on a week at the resort and mostly enjoyed it. Drinks were watered down -- I drink whiskey and know what it should taste like on the rocks, and they were consistently weak. Food was hit and miss -- we liked the Spanish place, Sea Blue and the buffets (which were a bit sparse and repetitive, but good,) but the steakhouse was terrible and we waited about twenty minutes after being seated in the Italian place before my wife got up and found a server to take our drinks order. The Japanese place was set up like Teppanyaki, but there was no show, no dipping sauces and you only got one meat, a small amount of vegetables, soup, sushi and salad. Oddly, about half of the meat and vegetables was set aside on the grill and was still there when we left, no idea what that was about. The evening shows were fun, but there wasn't much other entertainment. We were there over Thanksgiving and the resort made no effort to recognize the holiday -- understandable, given that it's another country that doesn't have the holiday, but still a little disappointing. That was along line with other observations that indicated that Americans really weren't their focus -- hardly anyone other than bar staff spoke English and simple tasks like ordering eggs over easy was tough (get Google translate on your phone, and even with that, it helps to know a little Spanish to get close pronunciation.) I played a round of golf, which was free, but it cost $75 to rent a cart and set of clubs.
