VACATION OCT 2020

5th time in the DR, 5th different resort. Everything was beautiful from the resort to the beach. Traveling during Covid was much different with less happening in the way of events and entertainment however it was a much needed Relaxing vacation. Food was good- it is pretty much the same at all resorts I have attended. Drinks was fantastic!! Thanks to Carlos at the beach bar and Yohannan & Miguel at the privilaged bar and Michael at the lobby bar. They made it a point to get to know us and take great care of us during our stay. All the staff from check in to wait staff was so nice and attenative. Take it from someone who has traveled many places in the carribean and multiple visit to the DR....Do not pay attention to any negative reviews. Food is never the same outside of your home country but you can always find something to eat here. If not maybe traveling out of the country may not be best for you. Vacation in the DR is about the beautiful beach, water, drinks and relaxing and Catalonia gets an A+ for this. The Alegria Spa is absoutely amazing. During my stay I have a 50min and an 80 min deep tissue massage with Rosa- both experiences were top knotch. Best deep tissue massage I have ever had. Our stay was for 7 days and all 7 days were absoutely Amazing.

Great experience!

Before my stay I was expecting the food and service to not be the best because of other reviews I had read, but it turned out to be great! All the staff was very helpful and friendly and the food, especially at the a la carte restaurants was delicious!

Great staffing

The staffing treat me very well, the room had some issues and I was not comfortable with. The air conditioner was no working, the only fan didn't turn on, bathroom had a really bad odor you couldn't stand. Other than that it was a good experience.

Excellent hôtel, je le recommande sans hésiter.

C'est un très bel hôtel, la piscine est magnifique, plus belle en vrai que sur les photos même. L'aménagement du jardin est plus que beau, c'est apaisant, on se sent en pleine nature. Il y a plein d'oiseaux qui se promènent sur le site dont des genres de hérons blancs aux pattes noires (ils volent, ils n'ont pas les ailes coupés). C'est très propre. Le personnel est extrêmement aimable. J'ai mangé comme une reine, la nourriture était excellente. Bravo à eux car ils travaillent tous avec un masque à longueur de journée, ça ne doit pas être évident avec la chaleur et l'humidité. À faire attention par contre pour le restaurant japonais, il ne faut absolument pas être en retard sinon on ne nous permet pas d'entrer. Je trouve que ce détail -important- devrait être mentionné lorsque nous faisons la réservation. C'était ordinaire de se faire refuser comme ça alors que nous n'étions pas au courant.

Food needs some work

The room was nice, the staff was wonderful but the food at the buffet was not tasty. Especially the beef was salty and it did not taste like beef at all, same experience at Rodeo the meat was tough and didn’t taste like meat either.

Travel during COVID

Traveling during this time is very challenging but we felt both relaxed and safe during our stay. A vacation that was well needed and definitely appreciated. These frontline workers definitely get an A+ from me.

GOLD MEMBERSHIP

I Hope this review creates a change for how a member should be treated at ETC. EVEN THOUGH THE PLATFORM IS A GREAT EXPERIENCE...... I feel at times employees do not realize a " FAMILIA" member and leave a member in the rear. I understand there are lots of nonmembers but members payed for the privileges that should be given to them at every instant. I have used the Gold platform twice and I have not felt the true FAMILIA experience completely. This is not a bad review.... just one that I hope will change my membership to be what I paid for.

Had a great time. Resort was clean and tidy and all staff were pleasant. Food was exactly what to expect from an all inclusive.

second visit

We love the resort, its features, the ETC extras and the friendly fabulous staff. This was our second trip because we liked it so much last year. The accommodation were beautiful and it locale close to the beach was super. Next year we plan to stay on the Royal side, due to the adults only rule , and possibly book our kids into the Bavaro side at the same time. our only difficulties were sometimes not being able to clearly communicate our need to staff due to language barrier (I speak only English and French). There was also the unfortunate incident when the laundry spilled bleach on a pair of my walking shorts, but management did compensate us for the loss. It would also be great if CREAM was an option for our coffee instead of milk. Although some of the more enterprising staff managed to come up with some for us from time to time. all in all - a great time we look forward to repeating next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Catalonia Bavaro Review (Feb 2020)

Overall our experience was great. The landscape at this resort was beautiful. The pool is big and lots of places to sit. And nice to be able to sit at the beach with lots of seating and the bar/creperie right there! We had to wait a few times to get into the buffet and sometimes we were seated and then came back from getting food and our seats were taken. This was a bit annoying but overall it was a good experience. The restaurants were very good (the Japanese one was super fun!). They didn’t take reservations so we had to wait for these. But once we knew that it was fine and we could get a drink at a nearby bar. We didn’t have kids with us so it wasn’t bad to have to wait. Overall we had a great time!
