punta cana

Very good

Spacious, clean rooms. Articles for shoes and maintenance of shoes would be required.

Wonderful Resort

This is a wonderful resort with fabulous food, incredibly friendly and helpful staff, and a gorgeous beach. We did have problems with our room. The air conditioning wasn't working properly when we arrived, and it took the guy over an hour to fix. At that point, we should have been moved but we were too tired from travel to ask. Then there was an awful smell in the bathroom. Then the toilet broke and wouldn't flush. It got fixed right away but the smell came back - there was something wrong with the plumbing. Then there was no hot water. Clearly, the room was a problem, so we were moved to an upgraded room. Then in the new room there was no hammock and it took many hours and multiple calls to fix. That new room was lovely but it was still a huge hassle to move in the middle of the day. The staff couldn't have been nicer and more helpful but I see this as a management problem as there needs to be more oversight about checking on whether or not everything works in a room before it's ready for new guests. There was such an awful odor in the first bathroom that I can't believe it hadn't been noticed before, etc. Also, that first room faced the Pearl Beach Club where the music was on ALL DAY. Why do resorts think that people want to hear loud music 24/7? We come from noisy cities. All we want to hear is the ocean and the wind.

Un voyage gravé dans nos mémoires

Très belle hôtel, les gens sont vraiment gentil et serviable, beaucoup d’animation. Il a un serveur au buffet vraiment attachant qui ce nomme Pedro, à la piscine nous avions Alvin qui s’occupait du mettre des vitamines beaucoup de vitamines dans nos cocktails et à l’animation Junior est toujours dispo pour bien nous divertir et nous faire bouger, de vrai belle vacance en famille qui resteront dans nos mémoires longtemps

I was very sick

Our trip was from Dec. 28 to Jan. 4th. First of all I had to visit your medical clinic twice January 2 and 3rd, I had diarrhea so bad I had to go on a antibiotic January 3rd. I did not drink any water other than bottled, so I assume it was from some food I ate. The night before it started we had eaten at the Japinese restaurant.

Good

The resort was good. Buffet was decent a la cartes were very good. Beach was nice enough chairs for everyone. The rooms needed updating and weren't the cleanest. There was always activities going on but sometimes the workers were way too pushy to have you join, had to say no to everyone 3 times over. I wouldn't suggest going with only 2 ladies the workers don't leave you alone! Overall it was a very good stay and I would go back.

Overall

My husband and I have travelled all over the world and were not impressed with the service. We are repeat guests from 2016 and have seen no improvement. We arrived with 3 other couples and were in the “privileged “ rooms , not sure what that meant. Did not receive welcome greeting , the check in at approximately 4 pm was deplorable. It seemed like they did not even know we were coming. Instead of giving all 4 couples their paperwork to fill out, it was one at a time, very time consuming and I suggested this to our check in person, and she just looked at me. We did not meet our “personal “ concierge until someone asked us about it day 2. This person did not assist us in anyway. I am very disappointed in the Catalonia hotel group and will not be recommending the hotel to others. This hotel needs to come up to 2020 standards.

Wonderful vacation!

My husband and I stayed in the Privileged Romantic Suite. Most beautiful! Food was very good, specially restaurants very good. The only thing I would have to say and not really a complaint...we were on the second floor and there was no elevator but also, there were no hand rails to hold onto going up and down stairs. Would come here again in a heartbeat but request first floor accommodations.

Catalonia Bavaro review

This was a very nice resort and very worth your money! I would for sure go back :) we had some great help provided to us by kelvin at the front desk and Antonio at the pure bar!

Can do better...

Its a great Hotel for it's price but can do much better. The buffet was bad, no towels ALL WEEKEND by the swimming pool nor the beach and we had to take our bath towels. Some employees weren't much help, all they were interested in was to sell us additional trips. Only one restaurant a la carte allow for the weekend. Disco was empty and very boring. Cocktails at the lobby were great but the waiting was long even when there wasn't anybody. Cool thing: the sack bar by the pool was open 24h and it provide beer, beverage(no ice all weekend), pizzas, sometimes hamburgers and hot dogs. Additionally, the jacuzzi in the room are great, for 2 people, no bubbles tho.

New year trip

Catalonia Bavaro is HUGE and very well maintained common areas. Good restaurants and buffet. Great evening entertainment and daily activities. The New Year Gala buffet was great and very well laid out.

Very nice resort

Very clean and beautiful resort. Beach is nice, there is a sand path that allows to walk far in the sea. Food is good, buffet is better than restaurants. There is a special buffet for kids, nice touch! Next time I would bring my kid ustensiles and bib because they don't have. Pools are great both for kids and adults. Park is fun for kids when you want to change from the beach.

Fun to n you he sun

Had an upgraded ocean view suite that was spacious and nicely decorated. Excellent staff and services. Beautiful grounds and clean, soft sand beaches. Do the extra reef snorkeling trip. So worth it. Restaurants: ambiance’s were great, some food only a B. Buffets ok but not outstanding. Overall a very good experience. Would recommend

Overall our stay was good but there is a lot of room for improvement. We travel a lot as a family so we have many comparables. The hotel grounds are very nice, the beach was ok, (lots of seaweed), food was good however overall staff friendliness is lacking.

Great stay at Catalonia for second time

December 9th To 16th Beautiful stay! I was there 2 years ago about same dates and definitly happy i went back! The resort is gorgeous.... very well maintained with a lot of vegetations and animals.... that is the main reason i go.... i love nature especially animals. Please respect them. Also try to use mineral or reef safe solar cream as you can enjoy great snorkling right at the beach! Enjoy and protect! I need to cheer the next point!! NO hotel salers on the site wow !! Thank you for that major update !! We all agree this can be such a turn off.. but not there anymore !!!! I was also very happy to see way more variety at the main buffet and pleased to be seated close to the birds! The Yuca restaurant is still very good! Menu changed only for the best! Fish tacos and rhum cake.... ahhhhhhh....... but this time i was bit disapointed at the Toscana.. they use to served real fresh pesto.. a pure delice and very good pastas.... And the paella day at beach... twice a week would be awesome... we did not have the chance to taste as we were traveling Mondays. I still enjoyed the crepe bar at the beach and a new very good fresh juice station ! The Tapas restaurant wasnt there anymore..... being half spanish it was a bless to eat greatttttt tapas.. Catalonia is a Spanish chain so i liked the concept veryyy much back then!! Im sure im not alone! Very great stay in general but major problems with people that try to reserve their chairs at the beach in the morning.... I think that concept is an asshole concept coming from the guests/tourists ... the result is that some towels stays there all day alone.... all week who knows! And when WE want go there is no place !! Its a turn off... don't reserved your chairs for not going... just take the ones availables when you are ready to go... The hotel should establish a policy about it. "No towels left alone" And also when a guest put a door sign mentionning "no disturb" it's supposed to mean it!! 2 times in one day what the hell... just read the sign at the door ladies.. I know im "renting" the place but i need my privacy still... especially when im in the bathroom... 2 clean girls won't messed a room that bad if we skip a day cleaning.. and i can make my own bed too.. Otherwise the staff was really nice, polite and smiley, I felt it more this year. Great improvements coming from the hotel bravo !! A special thanks to Andres at the reception that was extremely professionnal and a very great attitude, he called to make sure everything was okay when arriving at the room and its very much appreciate to start a great stay! Will definitly go back there again and if you go by the right on the beach and walk for a bit there is a great mini market with nice souvenirs boutique. Great deals ! And there is some verrrrry sweet dogs that might come say hello if you are friendly! We missed them so much! Don't try to bring them.. some people takes care of them,salers and an organization we volounteered for one day Rescatame.. I like having my spots there! Punta Cana and Catalonia area are my favorites!
