Wonderful
We have stayed at Catalonia in Punta Cana many times and each time the experience gets better. We were in building 3 and our housekeeper Elizabeth was great, she met all our needs with a smile. One morning I was not feeling well with stomach issues and she made sure the bathroom was extra clean for me. All the staff that we met were superb, some of the names are: waitstaff, Eduardo, Oscar, Kelvin, Caroline and many more.

Beautiful surroundings
The gardens are the best we have ever seen. Overall the hotel was very good. The rooms are a bit tired but very clean. We did have 3 occasions for problems in the room but these were dealt with efficiently. Bedding changed regularly.

Special shout outs to Raidon and Leslie, our bartenders, Ricky from the entertainment crew and Manual and Francisco from the bell desk. You all went above and beyond to make our bacation wonderful. Can’t wait to return.

Great vacation destination
My stay at the Catalonia was great as in the past. I've stayed at this hotel many times. Everyone of the staff make my stay very enjoyable. They all go above and beyond in caring for my needs. I've made several new friends at the Catalonia. The food is great and the beach is beautiful.

Relax week with my wife
Everyone super friendly , from the people at the lobby, people that work at the restaurants, incredible. Just didn't like that every time i went to the beach every 3 minutes someone will try to sell me something, hopefully in the future gets better.

Lookea Catalonia Bavaro
We had a really good week at the hotel. The food was good, plenty of choice and the waiting staff were very responsive to our needs. The room was very comfortable and aintained to a high standard by Carmen. Beach facilities were good, with plenty of loungers and activities available. Our only grumble, being a Brit, I understand queuing. When I'm waiting over 20mins to speak to the customer services rep, I don't expect the rep to allow someone to queue jump, especially when our query would have been dealt with in 2mins. The customer services rep knew we had been waiting and shouldn't have then defended the queue jumpers actions, the reaction should have been simple, "I'm sorry about that and your wait, how can I help you?"

Great Stay
Excellent food, restaurants, coffee shop & friendly staff. Only downside was the room was a little dated, but the air-conditioning worked wonderfully. Beach water not as blue as photographs & lots of seaweed.
PETER JONES30-11-22
Vacation
Nice resort. Lots of seaweed on beach but was picked up daily. Pool area was quite noisy some nights. Good food selection Our ac leaked and flooded the floor at least four times. Attempts were made by staff to fix the problem but it wasn’t successful Very difficult to control AC Towels were not always provided in room and mini fridge was not consistently stocked every day We appreciated the coffee and maker in room
GEORGE PETERS30-11-22
GORGEOUS BEACH !
We absolutely loved our 4 days stay at the resort. Amazingly beautiful beach and facility. All the employees at the beach bars, lobby bars, restaurants were suburb, friendly and attentive. We had one little issue pertaining to our room that caused a two hour inconvenience, but Kilsy in guest services took an immediately action in compensating us with a romantic beach dinner and parting gifts. We will come again when the new gigantic pool is completed. #thankyouKilsy See you soon

Great Holiday
Recently stayed at the Catalonia Bravro in the Domican Republic. The first room I stayed in for 1 night was very dated and a bit tired, paid for the upgrade and the new room was great, best bed I've ever slept on. Buffet good with plemty of choice and I was able to get into the resturants when I wanted so long as I booked on-line a couple of days prior. Staff great and a fantastic beach, just a bit dissapointed that there was no real snorkelling opportunities off the Beach, which I had been led to believe there would be from on-line reviews.

Set your own pace.
The hotel is suited and caters to various tastes and speeds. You can be full on with the entertainment staff or hideaway on the beach.

returning guest ( 3rd times the charm
We have stayed previously 2011, 2014, and now 2022 - lots of changes, but some things remained the same! Stayed JR suite - oddly enough pretty sure it was same room as 2014 (hence the same) very dated but for a week didn't bother us. Now for the changes - the Royal wasn't open when we last stayed and that side is impressive as is the Gold Family Suite we toured on the other side - also new is the Pearl Beach Club. So this time we got the Exclusive Travel Club presentation (got to say very slick room) and we bought - however we felt we should have been upgraded straight away to those rooms, as some where available - however we did get access to everything else but the room. Staff is friendly and by the end of the week knew us by site and looked after us accordingly. Super sad to leave but looking forward to many more trips with the Exclusive Travel Club!

5 Night Stay (Catalonia Bavaro Beach, Golf, Casino)

2nd family vacation
It was our 2nd family vacation at this resort and we loved it. Just the bad part of this stay was that they were working on one side of the swimming pool side area, but they told us it's for better new look side of half the pool is going to be new.

2022 Halloween extravaganza!!!!
This was our 28th visit to the Catalonia Bavaro. We love the place. We make sure we visit every year for Halloween. We always bring costumes and have a great time. A couple of concerns which we had with this trip are as follows: In past years, the effort put out for decorating the resort for Halloween was excellent, this year it was poor, the internet on the beach was almost none existent. It was the worst we have had in a number of years. Hopefully, this will change by our next trip. We are planning to return for Easter 2023. Another concern which we had was the position of the smoking area in the main outside front bar area. There is only a very limited amount of space for the smoking area of an entire resort. Typically there is only four tables which sometimes are taken up by non smokers. It would be very nice if the smoking area could be larger. The music speakers for the nightly entertainment are also very close and very loud. You have elderly smokers visiting the resort who cannot sit that close to such loud music and enjoy the entertainment for the evening. Perhaps the smoking area could be expanded further back to increase the area, increase the number of tables as well as proximity to the loud speakers. Another concern was the variety of food options at the beach buffet. It just seemed like everyday at lunch it was dried out pork chops or fish. I did also want to add that the addition of the netting around all of the food buffets is excellent. It did a great job at keeping the birds out of the area. The bird waste on the furniture was extremely reduced. Well done!!!
ANDREW DUDKA14-11-22
Moins bien que les dernières fois...
C'était la 3e fois pour moi et la 15e pour mes parents a votre hôtel. Nous avons été déçus par quelques points. Tout d'abord, le club Lookéa qui répète les mêmes activités tous les jours au lieu de varier comme avant. Il y a une moins grande variété de choix dans les restaurants à la carte. Malgré le fait d'avoir demandé il y a plusieurs mois d'être placé du côté piscine/jardin au 1er ou 2e étage, nous étions de l'autre côté au 3e.
JULIE MAILLOUX,10-11-22
Great resort, service in the middle
I had a great stay at Catalonia Punta Cana, the amenities, food, service in general was really good. The only thing I have to say is I felt descriminated more than one time by the bartenders. I’m Salvadorian and my partner is Guatemalan we both speak english and spanish however to make it easy for the employees we spoke to them in spanish. That wasn’t a good idea because we saw the way they served to people speaking other languages and to us they treated poorly as soon as they saw us or heard us talk spanish. Mainly at the swim up bar, the bartenders there gave me a very poor service as if I was there for free or asking them drinks for free. I didn’t like that at all. Other than that the resort is beautiful but employees specially bartenders need to treat everyone with respect because if we’re there it means we paid money.
ALEXANDRA ORTIZ09-11-22
First stay ever
Our overall stay was good but would have wished the beach was nicer. Too many vendors on the resort grounds we felt as we were always followed or pressured into coming over to their table, that part we really disliked.
ANNICK GOGUEN08-11-22
mixed feelings.
Love the infrastructure, rooms were great. There's quite a few upkeep issues: water leaks, ceilings sometimes leak. The mini fridge in the room never worked, although it was stocked. Restaurants were nice, food was sub par, attention was hit or miss, borderline unacceptable at times.
