Punta Cana Hotel Guide. Catalonia Hotels in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Overall a great stay. This is our second visit to Catalonia Royal Bavaro. Most of the staff are great, housekeeping is great, Ruddy and Roberto at the beach bar are fantastic! The room this time wasn't as nice and needed a little maintanence. The food is is so-so, nothing impressive but not terrible. A good resort for the money and it's hard to complain when the DR is paradise!

Check in was quick and easy. Every staff member that I encountered was friendly and the service was amazing. The food was great at each of the restaurants that we tried. The bartenders were very good and would often make special drinks for us to try, even without us asking. Frozen drinks were the best of any resort I've been to. The scenery/landscaping was beautiful and well taken care of. Very clean resort. The housekeeping went above and beyond, often leaving exotic flowers in the room. The resort is large and set up in a villa style campus so there is a bit of walking required, but my boyfriend and I are both young and had no problem with 5 minute walks. Aside from the room, not much on the resort is air conditioned. We sometimes found ourselves sweating during lunch at the buffet, but it was nothing that a quick dip in the pool afterwards couldn't fix. I'd highly recommend the crepes that were made to order from the beach bar. There was plenty to do, both during the day and at night. There didn't seem to be enough chairs on the beach (since many people reserved their spots with towels at the pool and beach) so make sure to go a little early to throw your towels down and save a spot. If you're on the beach between 9-10 am you'll be fine securing a spot. Overall, there was not much that I would change. It was a perfect week in one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

This resort is located on the best stretch of beach in Bayahibe. Beach is well kept and the water is just pristine. We stayed two weeks all inclusive (not privileged). The room is comfortable, clean, simple and in a very traditional Caribbean style. Food was simply exceptional and so it was the entertainment offered by both the Italian and Dominican animation teams. We are considering a second stay.
