This hotel did a nice job at everything. They had their flaws however overall..we would go back. The rooms were a bit old however the other amenties made up for is and the staff was WONDERFUL! More

The Catalonia hotel is beautiful. I can't say enough about the grounds and the staff. Beach and pool was great but the food is the worst I've ever had in my life! The only meal we could enjoy was breakfast because they cooked the eggs fresh for you. The buffets were awful,flys and birds all over the food made it... More

We stayed from the week of January 23rd to January 30th 2012. We had a group of 21 people who were there to celebrate our wedding. 2 couples were there to celebrate their honeymoons. I'd to begin by saying that we have been reading every single review since December 19th 2010, the day we started organizing our wonderful trip. Awesome,... More

Let me start off by saying that I stayed at this resort approx 1 yr ago but I have just recently started reviewing on trip advisor. I went on a fun vacation with a girlfriend of mine just to get away from the winter blah and we had a great experience. Not to say there were not some draw backs... More

The frist six got there before noon on the 21st and were accomodated as expected. Twelve of us got in around 3 PM and were taken to Catalonia Bavaro by bus. When we arrived... More

the reviews on this resort are all over the place. i still believe that most of the reviews are correct. one must understand that this is not a high end luxury resort. this resort is geared towards those who want a laid back tropical feel. this isn't the place for those wanting a fashion show, or a party atmosphere, or...

Just got back from the Catalonia (Jan20-27, 2012), I must say this is one of the best hotels I've stayed at in a long time planning to go back with the family as soon ASAP! I've been to many hotels throughout the carribean & Mexico, as well as Florida and this hotel is on-par or better than all, only topped... More

I will start by saying that our taste and needs are simple. Clean rooms, sun, sand, water and food that doesn't make us sick is all we ask for when we travel. And honestly, the Catalonia offers high value for your money, I think this resort offers plenty for what you spend. As this was our 4th trip to the... More
