Awesome Vacation

We had the BEST time! Beautiful property, the staff very friendly and helpful, very clean and comfortable! We cant wait to come back!

KARL RAUSCHER04-03-23

Excellent vacation

Bar service at the main pool, Reception & Concierge, Room cleaning, Restaurant Service all OUTSTANDING! SUGGESTIONS: Improve beach towel service by bringing a supply to the Royal area. Some resorts have lobster on the menu - that would be a plus considering how much we paid for our stay. Improve the pizza production at the BLoved buffet (very slow, some varieties often missing like pepperoni & all dressed). These changes would make a big difference in our opinion.

Mark & Helens DR Holiday 2023

Great relaxing holiday. Facilities good, especially as guests in the ‘Royal’ area. Room well presented, spacious & clean (loved the double shower). Staff very attentive & friendly. There did appear to be some modernisation underway with replacement of the main dinning area building which only left an outdoor buffet dinning area but this did not greatly impact the experience (we were lucky enough to be under cover on the 2 nights it rained while eating).

MARK SPILLER02-03-23

Ok resort

The people in the front at check in were great but the wait staff were not happy to be working there and were more like they were on vacation. They had to be asked multiple times for drinks (coffee,water,ect) the food was not very good. The food was cold most of the time. The steak house was great but the service was terrible. The room staff was good but overall I would give 3 *** very nice property with sub par staff

Awesome stay!

We stayed 2/11-2/18. This was my first All Inclusive resort and maybe bc I have no expectations I absolutely loved this resort. The options for food were endless. This was my boyfriends 2nd All Inclusive having been to Jamaica and he was very impressed by food options and quality. Buffet on adult side for breakfast and lunch. Dinner Monday and Friday is a buffet on adult side. If you have dinner at Sea Blue you have the option of the family buffet right next door as well as ordering from al carte. Water was amazing loved how blue it was. Snorkling right off the beach, newbies will enjoy it there are differnt marine life to see. I was lucky enough to see a small sting ray, as well as a lion fish. As well as your typical marine life. Room was great very spacious for our stay, hair dryer is powerful, sewing kit, small 2 cup brewing coffee maker ( not k cup). Robes in the room. Drinks were good not consistent one bartender would make very strong, another barely any alcohol. We brought insulted cups and they happily filled them to keep drinks cold.

First visit

We enjoyed the Royal adult hotel experience as 2 couples how travel yearly to a warm destination . Service and location was great. Improvements in dining could be improved Menus posted in lobby and app not correct and thus disappointed when visited. Liked using app for booking.

SARAH RAWCLIFFE25-01-23

Honeymoon at Catalonia

Nice hotel, ground lovely and very clean. Service from staff in bars and reception is excellent. Food is ok, not 5 star. Sometimes cold. The breakfast buffet is lacking in choice, and not consistent in the offering. Beach is beautiful, water is the clearest I've seen but totally ruined by the number of sunbeds squeezed into the small space. People were on top of each other, not relaxing or quiet.

Second Time at Catalonia Royal

The resort is wonderful I love the modern look. Food and restaurants are great although portions are not big for some. Entertainment is a little boring, it’s a quiet resort mainly for couples so if your looking for a little fun head to the family side.

Beau séjour!

Troisième visite en une année... Vraiment satisfaite de notre séjour à cet hôtel. Belle grande chambre très propre et bien équipée. Le ménage est bien fait chaque jour grâce à notre gentille Johana. Tout le personnel est accueillant et très serviable. Il y a même des personnes qui parlent français et qui font beaucoup d'efforts pour l'apprendre. C'est très apprécié! Le personnel à la réception répond bien à nos demandes et ils sont très professionnels. La bouffe est délicieuse et il y a un grand choix dans les menus. Notre restaurant préféré est le Siwichi pour le soir et le midi, on a bien aimé le Sea Blue sur la plage. La plage et la mer sont magnifiques mais c'est difficile de prendre des marches car c'est très en pente. Le seul point négatif comme la dernière fois, c'est devoir se lever à 6h00 pour avoir une palapa. Il devrait y avoir un contrôle des serviettes car elles sont en nombre illimité donc les gens prennent des places au soleil et à l'ombre et cela cause un manque de chaises. Au milieu de notre 2e semaine, nous avons reçu une nouvelle directive (lettre de la direction) concernant les chaises à la plage disant que tout objet placé avant 6h30 le matin, serait enlevé et que si personne ne vient aux chaises durant 2 heures, les choses seraient ramassées. Cela a fonctionné durant nos quatre dernières journées...en espérant que cela se continue. Le bruit de la construction de l'hôtel adjacent ne nous a pas trop dérangés. Ils étaient entrain de construire un steakhouse temporaire car celui-ci a brûlé en novembre dernier de même que le buffet et le resto dominicain du Catalonia Bayahibe. Dû à l'incendie, nous n'avions accès au resto Toscana un soir sur deux. De plus, il a maintenant plus de chambres du côté du Royal donc plus de monde et ça paraît. On se sent un peu plus à l'étroit sur la plage. Je voudrais dire un grand merci à tout le personnel (Xavier, Rolando, Lee, Luis, Ronny, Benerice, Aida, Iris et tous les autres dont j'oublie le nom) pour toutes les petites attentions. Certainement, nous y retournerons! A bientôt!

Relaxing break!

Beautiful resort with helpful and friendly staff, just a few things that need tweaking and it would be perfect, just a shame that we booked an adults only resort to find that the family resort next door pretty much had the run of our resort except for the à la cart restaurant and the rooms, so not really an adults only resort

TANYA REES23-12-22

Very good

Stuff don’t know the surrounding of the territory. Majority of the stuff don’t understand or speak English. Overall the experience in the hotel was very nice. The rooms were very clean and the cleaning crew was excellent.

Beautiful beach!

Just got back from a lovely stay at Catalonia Royal La Romana. We had a duplex room with plunge pool. The room was lovely - two full bathrooms and two large TV's - one upstairs in the bedroom and one in the living area. Three bottles of liquor upon arrival. We were celebrating my husbands birthday and they sent a bottle of sparkling wine to the room with chocolates. Food was pretty good compared to other places we have stayed in Dominican Republic. We were disappointed with Beloved food compared to Mayan Riveria, Maroma and Bavaro. We had lovely lunches at the others - fish taco's, pasta with shrimp, steak sandwich, fish & chips and this Beloved had none of those items - we were not impressed but always found something. My biggest disappointment was the beach chair game. We were at the beach at 7:45 in the morning only to find all the chairs in the shade had been taken. A lot of people never showed up and the rest of us had to sit in the sun all day. We did find out the some of these chairs had been held by the "towel guy" and for a fee he could get you a chair. At the other three Catalonia Royal resorts that we stayed at there were more chairs than people and you could always get a chair. This was the only big issue that we had with the resort. Since the fire they are short on restaurants and making the best with the remaining restaurants they have. The best snack food was at the swim up bar.

Birthday Trip

Most of the staff was friendly but some were not. It was very difficult to communicate with staff when many didn't speak any English. The beach was beautiful. We enjoyed the room with the swim out pool. There were too many bugs in one of the restaurants. It was hard to enjoy a meal with bugs crawling over the table and on the lighting fixtures above our heads. The a la cart meals were good but the other food was mediocre.

MARCELLOUS CALVIN11-12-22

General views good and bad

Customer service excellent at all times. All staff very friendly at all times and we’re eager to please and be helpful. The beach setting absolutely glorious. Restaurants were nice and once we understood the booking requirements generally met our needs. However at a five star hotel the menus which were the same every day for the whole two weeks(excluding buffet Days) was very restrictive as there was only three choices. This meant having to have repeat meals too often. Surely a weekly menu change could be achieved at this class of hotel. There were building works going on on site and a fire shortly before our visit which affected our facilities and pleasure(slightly). Walkways restricted and different restaurant facilities.We feel we should have been pre warned about these issues. By far the most annoying aspect at the hotel was the sun bed arrangements. Whilst there are plenty of beds in the beach area at all times . Beds in the shade are always reserved very early in the morning leaving beds at the very rear away from the views of the sea or in unshaded beach areas.We went to this area at 8am every day and the situation was the same every day .I even went down at 7 am one day but the situation was the same. Upon investigation it seems the beach boys are happy to reserve beds for payment by guests on a daily basis. surely a five star hotel should not be condoning this practice.
