May 08, 2025Lovely resort
There are many bad reviews for this resort. I say don't listen! This is our last night, and we had a great time . The staff is friendly, the drinks are good, and the food is good as well . The rooms need work , but who is in their room besides to sleep. We recommend the private pool room's we loved ours , they just need some updates. The beach is well kept , lots of chairs to pick from,and the water is beautiful. The staff work incredibly hard to make sure you are well taken care of . They have to work 12 days and only get 3 off to see family. ❤️ We found them all very friendly and happy to help . DONT GET SUCKED IN TO THE " FREE BREAKFAST " it's a plot to sell you a time share . There are beach sellers, just politely say no, and they will go on their way . Bring cat and dog treats, as there are many here they allow to stay on the resort. They are all so friendly and love attention. The entertainment is good , different every evening. This is not a party resort. It's meant for a relaxing time , not young adults who want to party . Overall, we had a very nice time and would come back again . Thank you to all the staff for making this a great vacation. We appreciate all of you so much .

May 08, 2025Experience at your own risk .
I’ll keep it short and sweet , the better your Spanish, the better your stay could be . The suite we stayed in was not worth the price paid . Housekeeping did the minimal , shower handles were broken , toilet functions were weak, the stone in front of the ladder to the private pool was chipped and the ladder in the pool was missing a support . My stay was ok for the most part , but when you mix in below average service and staff with attitude problems, I can take my time and money elsewhere.

May 06, 2025Great second time to Catalonia Royal Bavaro "Adult side"
Let me start by just saying that if you want a noisy, loud, Party Party resort; Go somewhere else! If you want to unwind, relax have great food, great service friendly people; this resort is for you. Yes some of the rooms need to be updated, it is an older resort. We love it as we are in our early 60's nice and small resort easy to get around everywhere with access to the family side where it is much bigger and all the action is and only a 5 min walk or grab onto one of the golf carts which are ALWAYS very accommodating. We just found out before we went this time you were able to make reservations at any of the restaurants before you even arrive, this was a wonderful option. Tip what you feel comfortable tipping, we took pesos this time as it was cheaper than converting to american $ from cdn. They appreciate everything they get. We did get the privileged upgrade and really didn't see a big difference except on the beach where the roped off section was well policed if you will! Staff wee great everywhere so too hard to pinpoint one or two. Poo; closest to beach was great nice and quiet and easier to get chairs as towels appear on every chair at the pool closest to the lobby very quickly lol. Beach was well shaded except the privilege area where there is not much shade. Food trucks at the beach was a sweet touch, never had to go far to grab a bite. Beach bar was nice and close. All the restaurants were wonderful with great food, the beloved was great for sit down breakfast but don't expect toast when you order toast lol. Overall a great resort, easy to get around, peaceful, beautiful and all around relaxing which that's what you really want in a vacation (at least we do). Haters will be haters whether it is a 5 star resort or a 2 star resort. If you want loud partying, teens puking and falling over drunk this place is not for you. ENJOY!

IMPRESSED!!
Much better than I expected! I had seen mostly mixed reviews of Catalonia, and the thing is scared of me The most was some reviewers said the food was bad. Catalonia HAS VERY GOOD FOOD compared to other all inclusive in the area. The property needs some renovations in the buildings, but it is absolutely gorgeous. I especially like the beach area that had plenty of shade. Service on the beach was a little slow, but not bad. I have stayed at 18 different resorts in the area. I have Catalonia 6th out of 18, and their prices are usually a lot lower than the others. Give Catalonia a shot. It’s been a long time since a hotel in this area has exceeded my expectations. All service staff and chef’s should be extremely proud of themselves.👍😎🥳
