Nice premises

Upon arriving at the hotel, we were greeted by security guards who informed us that we needed to park outside because there were no parking spots. That was a huge disappointment. Check-in was pretty prompt, and the Manager was very diligent with COVID protocol, but I thought that the least they could have done is offered us a drink to ease the experience. The food was average, I was expecting better choices for a 5-star resort. The staff seemed overwhelmed. The front desk nor the room service staff ever picked up the phone...my husband had to literally walk downstairs to the front desk to order room service and to reserve a table for the restaurant. Also, the refrigerator in the room was not restocked. The staff, when available was friendly, but they just were nonresponsive for the most part.

Relaxing stay!

Upon arrival, check-in went very quickly. The grounds of the resort were beautiful! We had a great stay! We had a superior swimup room. It was large, with plenty of rom to move around. The pool was nice, but very cold. If we ever return, I would ask for a room that doesn't face the courtyard. The room had a strong musty smell when we first arrived, but it faded as the week went on. The bed was hard & the pillows were on the flat side. Housekeeping was very hit or miss. One day she never came. Other days, she would often forget to leave fresh hand towels, a floor mat or fresh beach towels. Another day, she didn't put the blanket back on the bed & instead left it folded on the bench. It was a short walk to the beach, but worth it! The beach was beautiful, with crystal clear water. There was plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas. The only negative is the vendors who are always hanging around, trying to get you to go down the beach to their shops to buy cigars, marijuana and more. The bar staff at the beach and the pool bars were fantastic, as was the staff at La Isla! Overall, we liked the food. The only meals we had that we didn't like were at Rodeo (the steakhouse) and the pizza from Sorrento. There did seem to be a language barrier with quite a few of the wait staff and one of the bartenders at Merengue. While not a huge deal, it could get a little frustrating. Overall, we enjoyed our week and would consider staying at the Catalonia Royal La Romana again!

Great property - but still dealing with COVID related service disruptions

Fantastic stay last week at this property. It's a beautiful resort with fantastic rooms. The beach and water is a dream. If you come for the beach you will not be disappointed. Especially now with very small crowds. But if you come for the drinks and food you will leave disappointed. Truthfully if you ever go to all-inclusive in DR for food and drinks you're likely to always be left underwhelmed. Only few restaurants are available and the buffet is only open on weekends for dinner. There are things to eat, but the buffets are operating at 10% capacity at best. Lots of food was reheated from previous meals and very little vegetable or fruits available. There used to always be veggies and fruits in abundance. The specialty restaurants leave a lot to be desired. But again, who really comes here for the food? The drink choices are limited and they mostly have national liquor. So if you're someone that is a liquor drinker, better bring it with you! Everyone at the hotel is wearing masks and they ask you to use a plastic glove when you get food from the buffet. But no employees were seen wearing gloves. Overall a very good stay and a great property. i would recommend it highly with the caveat for food and drinks. There is a duty free area when you arrive in Punta Cana and its very easy to pick up a few bottles of your favorite beverage before getting to the resort. The only other strange thing to note is the resort is empty on weekdays (which was very nice) but on weekends they must open it up to the locals which made it seem significantly busier on Friday and Saturday.

Maravillosa experiencia

El hotel es excelente, la limpiesa en estos tiempos de pandemia es muy buena, tienen mucho cuidado de todos los huesped. Los empleados todos muy amable serviciales, Braulio y Juan Carlos de recepcion son excelentes muy amables te explican todo muy bien y tratan de hacer todo lo posible porque que te sientas bien y tenga todo a tu alcanse. Los chicos de los restaurantes, los de los bares excelente muy amables y serviciales. Lo unico que las chicas de housekeeping no fueron a la habitacion ni nos llamaron para preguntar si necesitabamos algo o si queriamos limpiar la habitacion, y no es una queja es una observacion. El hotel es expextacular la comida, tienen una pizza artesanal riquisima, la de carne molida y atun las recomiendo. Las habitaciones muy acojedora, la swing-up es excelente. En fin tood los empleados son muy buenos trabajan para dar el mejor servicio. El hotel lo recomiendo la van a pasar muy bien. Ahh! Pueden usar las facilidades del Catalonia Dominicus.

Awesome time!

The resort is great, the rooms were very clean overall the first night our room's AC wasn't working but they changed us to a new room right away with no issues. The food was ok, but the entertainment and drinks were great. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Celeni was hilarious, she has us laughing all day and night. Definitely will be visiting again.

best hotel ever

This is the best place I have stayed in Punta Cana. This was our 3rd trip to Punta Cana and as I am a travel agent we have stayed in a different place each time. We will be back and we will be staying at this hotel. Even with the covid restrictions our visit was wonderful. The staff was attentive and the beach was wonderful.

Short Weekday Stay

My fiancé and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff was extremely friendly. The grounds were very well kept. I was very impressed with how nice the beach and water was. I was sad that one of the days we were there, tropical storm Isaias was rolling through so we couldn't use the beach. Overall, a great stay!
