I'd love to say that the first mini vacation alone with my husband was lovely but it was quite the contrary. The a/c was broken on the first night and the "Privleged" (which we had paid extra for) office was closed until the next morning. After sweating all night in a fanless and humid room, we went straight to the... More

I never write reviews but have trusted others so I had to write this. I have been to Mexico and Cuba both many times before this first trip to the Dominican so I decided to stay at the Catalonia chain because I stayed there in Mexico and it was great! Well what a let down. 7 days no air conditioning... More

I'm going to give as honest a review as I can here, as many of the reviews seem to be either end of the scale! My new wife and I chose to go to the Catalonia Bavaro for our Honeymoon on the 17th of April - 4th of May. Obviously because it's a honeymoon we had high expectations, and we... More

All together we had a wonderful experience. The accomodation was great, the food excellent and all the staff very helpful. More

The placed looked to be an amazing from... More

Just got back from the Catelonia Bavaro and will NOT be recomending this resort to anyone and will never return. I have been to approximately 10 different resorts over the years and would put this one at the bottom of the list. We arrived at 12pm and had to wait almost 4 hours for check-in. I've had to wait before... More

We stayed April 22-29 , arrived late at night, check in was a breeze, we had upgraded to Privllaged as we wanted to be close to the beach. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, yes our toliet didnt flush well but it was fixed promptly. A/c was fine .Remember DR does not have the same plumbing as we do... More

My wife and I went there in February and it was wonderful. The staff was great. I was amazed they were able to handle so many languages. There were people from Italy, France, Germany, Canada, and of course USA. We spoke a little Spanish and it came in handy. The grounds were beautiful and very well maintained. The food wasn't... More
