Wonderful Stay

We had a great time on our trip. We had previously visited the Catalonia in Punta Cana, but decided to try out La Romana after the seaweed last year. The beach did not disappoint as it was breath taking. The rooms were fantastic (love the showers!). The food and drinks were great too. The only suggestion we have would be to more closely monitor families on the adult's only section of the beach. Multiple times families from the Dreams resort next door made their way over to the Catalonia side to both swim and play in the sand. Most days this resolved itself by nap time, but the morning wasn't the adults only atmosphere we paid for.

LaRomana

We are ETC members and got decent service while in our ETC building from the ETC Staff. The lobby bar had good service-Ronny and Diomedy especially. Thalassa has decent service and great food every single time. Service at the beach was non existent. We stayed in the member beach each day and had to get up and get our own drinks almost every single time. For kicks one day, we times it. It was over two hours between two fees from the bar staff to get us a drink. Since we didn’t want to wait that long, we just kept getting our own. On the last day, Jacobo and Jonaton came more regularly. We were even giving USD tips and still couldn’t get regular service. Rodeo was great food as well. Room service and Toscana were awful. We sent back two of our dishes at Toscana. Loved the water and that truly will be the reason we return.

Nice clean resort

It’s if you stay in the adults only it is a long walk to the beach

Great place to stay!

I can not begin to express how awesome our visit was here. For reference, there were four of us, we booked two swim up rooms and stayed 5 days (June 22nd- June 27th). When we first arrived, the shuttle dropped us off at the sister hotel, Gran Dominicus. After attempting to look us up, they realized we were at the wrong and escorted us over to our resort. Let me tell you, at first I was worried because Gran Dominicus' lobby isn't updated at all. It did not at all match the pictures on line. The two resorts- based on lobby impression along are very different. Catalonia Royal is definitely a 5 star where as Gran Dominicus looks more along the 3.5 star level. Once at the hotel, check in with Guillermo was a smooth and pleasant experience. He set the stage for our expectations for the trip. He made us feel so welcomed, as if we were VIP guest! He was very attentive to our needs- our main one being we wanted our rooms to be placed as close as possible to each other. Despite being at full capacity, he made it work for us. We were offered the customary mamajuana to drink and then taken to our rooms. Each time I saw him during our stay he was friendly, which shows consistency. Oscar is such a sweetheart! He served as doorman, bell man, and a host of other responsibilities. He is amazing, charming and has a great sense of humor. He made sure to let us know he would not see us on our last two days due to being off those days. I'm sure he was being his charming self, but it made it a great touch to say his goodbyes to us then. Throughout our stay we had great bar service at Twist with Diomedy and Ronnie. OMG, they were so great and hospitable! We made a point to stop by to see them every evening just to spend some time with them. It was common to hear guest yelling out their names in greeting as they were coming and going from the lobby area. These two make the BEST drinks on the island! Diomedy is such a treasure...I really wish she worked at a bar here! Other shoutouts go to: Rosa ensuring our room was cleaned and in great condition; Jacobo for his great job at bar tending at the beach bar; Derlin and Yefry (sp?) for their enthusiastic entertainment and the staff at Tao Cat/Thalassa, La Isla snack bar, & Swichi (Peruvian place) for consistently providing great service. Our first time at Bloved/Toscana was not so great. We had a VERY rude waiter who couldn't be bothered with us! Well, we decided to risk it another day, this time during dinner in hopes things would be better this time round. And they were! One of the waiters recognized us and specifically asked about that experience. He apologized and shared with us that was not the norm at that restaurant. The staff proceeded to show us a great time, even when I knocked a full glass of water over on the table! LOL Anyway, we really appreciated it. Other things to know about your stay: -Tao/Thalassa and Bloved/Toscana actually double so when you go they will give you both menu -The only restaurant on the Gran Dominicus side worth trying is Rodeo- if you can stick with Catalonia Royal places -The entertainment is very minimal- basically an aux cord hooked up to a phone; on the plus side most nights the Gran Dominincus had better entertainment. Another option is to sit at the bar area Twist - ALL bars close by 1pm. ALL. At both resorts. I'd never stayed at an resort where this was the case so it was a bit shocking -After 11pm you can order room service but there are only 3-4 items listed; I believe the other side has a pizza place open until 12 or 1. -TIP! They don't expect it, and a couple times I was told to hold on to the money because they just wanted us to have great service. However, if you ever leave the resort on an excursion, you'd see how the conditions are for some in the DR Overall, if you're unsure about this hotel....GO FOR IT! I promise you won't regret it! We had absolutely no problems at Catalonia Royal La Romana!

A Gem

We just got back from 10 wonderful days at Catalonia Royal La Romana in the Dominican Republic. This resort is still next to new and has wonderful restaurants, modern spacious rooms, really nice and relaxing nightly entertainment and very friendly and helpful staff.

Relaxation Vacation

From the second we stepped into the lobby our vacation was lovely. The resort if fresh and modern. The atmosphere is calming. All staff members were friendly and went out of their way to put you at ease. Would highly recommend staying in a swim up room!

Catalonia Royal- DR

We had an excellent stay at Catalonia Royal La Romana. The service was amazing every day. Beach access was convenient. Plenty of chairs available at the beach/pool. Food and entertainment were well done. Would definitely stay here again.

EXCELENTE IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT

Greeted by Fernando the bellmen, From Check In with Handsome Hansel & concierge Julio which upgraded us to the luxury suite, I had an amazing Birthday! It was the 1st time at a a resort in La Romana and it made an everlasting impression. I can't wait to bring everyone I love back. We enjoyed Leidy and Eliobi's animation and Esmerlin at the Sushi bar was phenomenal! A great host. The only thing I would change is the food options and the music and entertainment. There should be a 24 hr food option with a broader menu, that is because of the caliber of brand. Regardless, the beach is great, the decor, the details, I can't wait to go back to this quiet oasis. I loved it. It was an amazing Birthday.

Le paradis...

Tout était parfait comme la dernier fois... le service de cet hôtel est exceptionnel. Seul petit bémol... le service au checkout lors de notre départ... ils avaient été avisés que notre avion était retardé et ils ne nous ont pas avisés. Donc nous avons quitté notre chambre comme prévu... ça aurait apprécié si on avait été avisés nous aurions pu continuer à profiter du resort au lieu d’attendre dans le lobby.

Royally Relaxed

The Catalonia Royal La Romana was an amazingly great experience. We were treated with the upmost respect. The staff could not have been friendlier. The grounds were super clean and manicured to perfection. It was the 1st time that we were on a week long vacation and never stepped foot off the resort.

ADKINS ROBERT JENNINGS18-06-19

Nice resort

We enjoyed our stay at this resort. The pool was great and never over crowded. The people were incredibly friendly and service was great. Small improvements could be made to the food and we wished there were more palapas on the beach instead of just umbrellas.

ELIZABETH ANNE MITACEK17-06-19

Really nice staff

I was really pleased by the warm welcome and assistance of the staff. Special Thanks to Hanzel, Wilfried, Evelyn and Fernando! The hotel is really neat and beautiful. I would just recommend a better attention to the buffet and to the beach side - which are sometimes a little bit less organized which does not match with the other part of the hotel.

Amazing place

I was very impressed with the level of service I received at Catalonia. There was some confusion regarding the booked reservation due to the ad was a bit vague. I got there expecting typical behavior from large companies, "Too bad sorry you picked the wrong room if you'd like we can upgrade you for a fee..." But instead, when they realized the confusion they went out of their way to ensure i was happy. I got the room I wanted and more. That gesture alone made my stay that more enjoyable. The rest was all relaxing and enjoying the amazing facility. Kudos guys, thanks for everything.

Better than expected!

I loved our stay at the Catalonia Royal La Romana! We were celebrating our 20 year anniversary, so my wife and I booked a room here. When we first got there, the hotel had us booked in a room where the back patio had a construction project taking place about 30 feet from the patio. There was black plastic right outside of our window creating a much less than pleasant view. We asked if we could be moved to a room just like ours in another location. They gladly understood and actually gave us an upgraded room! The restaurants were great! The food was wonderful and the wait staff were wonderful. Even though the language barrier was difficult at times, they did everything they could to understand and help meet our desires. Very romantic settings in the Catalonia Royal restaurants. It was great to eat after dark and then walk the resort with my wife. There were many areas to sit and talk or take pictures. The walk to the beach isn't that bad if you're able - maybe 100 - 200 yards depending on where you're staying. Plus, you don't have to take much with you since there are many chairs and umbrellas on location. The pools are great too - a giant jacuzzi in one over at Catalonia Royal. It was nice also to have access to the Catalonia Gran Dominicus side of the resort for more restaurants and pools. We also watched shows nightly in the live theater. They weren't Broadway plays, but enjoyable for fun. We were only asked one time about an opportunity to attend a timeshare meeting. We said no - and had to say no a couple of times, but after about 5 minutes of conversation with the man, we were turned loose. Not too bad in my opinion! I would definitely consider going again! Thanks to Catalonia Royal for a wonderful 20th anniversary vacation!!
