Great Experience

-I truly enjoyed my time at the Catalonia Royal Bavaro resort. It was a great place to be with my financé and we had a great time. The quality of the food and service are truly impressive. -The beach is the only drawback because of the seeweed/algea but this is not under your control. We went 2 days at the Macao Beach which is an amazing beach. -Loved the Private / Priveledge Duplex with private Infinity Pool. As the electricity in the Duplex was mostly the 220 Volts, the 2 round pronged outlets, it was difficult to plug anything of our things (cell phones etc...). There was only one available North American outlet 110v but many 220v. You should have available converters for your guest as this is the first hotel I stay in the Dominican which has these European outlets.

Beautiful Resort, Beautiful Memories

We arrived on July 9th and the resort had just opened on July 1st like much of the the island. We were greeted at the check-in desk with fresh cocktails and decided to grab a quick lunch. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and their menu selection included an appetizer, main course and dessert selection along with wine, beer or other cocktails. During check-in we were offered an option to upgrade to a two-story villa with a private pool. While having our lunch, we decided to upgrade and after finishing, we were escorted with our luggage in a golf cart to our villa. The villa was spectacular, large and you walk through the sliders to your private patio and swimming pool with an infinity edge (the water was perfect). After relaxing for a bit, we got in our rental car to meet friends who were staying at the Hard Rock. We picked them up and drove to a local restaurant on the beach called Captain Cook. Speak with Oriel, the owners son and tell him David from Miami recommended his restaurant, he will treat you wonderfully. They have an amazing selection of fresh seafood and we ordered four lobsters and a four pound snapper. The food was cooked on an open grill and this was some of the best seafood we have ever eaten. Oriel arranged for our group to charter a private boat for the next day and they prepared a small seafood tray of fresh shrimp, snapper and crab claws. The boat trip was amazing, alcohol was included and we stayed out approximately three hours on the water. For the remainder of our time, we stayed at the resort and enjoyed all the amenities, the food, the drinks, the wonderful people! They keep the property in pristine condition and the atmosphere is total relaxation. They have a beautiful bar and area to relax on the beach, and though no fault of the hotel, this stretch of beach is not the best in the area, but there are many places close by to relax in the ocean.

Amazing service!

Everyone was always so ready to ask us if we needed help, if everything was going well, and what they could do to make our stay better. And they all seemed genuinely sad to see us leave! We definitely we sad to go, but this place will stay on our list of places we HAVE to come back to!

Me encanto!!

Todo estuvo bueno, dentro de la situación que estamos viviendo con el covid-19. Solo tuve un detalle y por eso califique como muy bueno y no excelente. El detalle fue que escogí una habitación con piscina privada (suite duplex privilege) y la piscina no estuvo disponible ese primer dia por que la estaban llenando. Entiendo que si ya tenía una reservación debieron haber llenado la piscina con anticipación. Solo ese detalle, todo lo demas estuvo excelente.

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.

GEORGE BLAKE18-03-20

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.

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!

JODI LORRAINE MACHARDY17-03-20

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.
