"Truly unhappy with this property, poor quality food and unhelpful staff."

"Overall i give this a solid 4 star. The beach and location were 5 star but food was just so so and like most all inclusive the alcohol was bottom shelf. The buffets didn’t have a ton of selection but rather the same foods over and over in different sections. The sit down restaurants were actually pretty good. We love the Italian(not referring to the pizza place Focacia) along with the Indian cuisine was really good. They also have a Cafe that does espresso that was great and they had awesome crepes and waffles there. Additionally by the food trucks each day they did more of an authentic Dominican meal options that was made fresh and it was always one of my favorites. The staff for the most part were really good with only a few that weren’t great. The resort itself was really nice, nice finishes and ambiance and i understand being on the ocean and with the high humidity its hard to keep things up but there could be a bit more attention to detail in the painting of the rooms and cleaning. Again overall it’s a solid 4 stars and i find it very difficult to give a 5 star to any resort or hotel. My wife and enjoyed our stay and would go back especially when you look at the cost compared to other resorts."

"The rooms were clean, staff very friendly and helpful, beach beautiful and food spectacular. So many options for activities, food and other amenities. We will definitely be back."

"Resort was very clean and they really kept up with the landscaping. The beach was absolutely stunning! The resort had so much to do you were never bored. Food was average but still one of my favorite resorts I have visited. Will definitely be coming back :)"

"Everything were perfect! Particularly would like to notice our butler Henry "

"Clean room, clean pool and water slides but minibar was never restocked - even after calling to ask multiple times. "

"I give it 6.8/10. Had a couple of problems with the room but the staff was understanding and friendly about it. Love how many pools there are, and the beach. The activities were just very limited when it came to English speakers. "

"Terrible Week. Booked two rooms for my family and asked to have them next to each other, but the rooms weren't even in the same building. First night found cockroach in my room. Reported it and nothing was done so I trapped it under an overturned garbage can. Second night took a shower and the drain didn't work...water throughout the floor of the entire room. Reported both issues and they sent exterminators with respirators to spray poison. I told them I didn't want to sleep in a room with my kid that has poison but they didn't want to give me another room. I had to complain to three different people before I got a new room. Some slides at the water park were closed and never opened for the whole week. They stopped providing rides to the water park from the hotel so my kids and I had to walk it. Food was not great. My daughter was very ill from an undercooked hamburger served at the beach. Toilet in new room stopped working. They tried selling me on a VIP experience the next time I stay there...when I explained why I will never go back to that hotel the guy simply said, "Oh, okay, bye". Not once did any representative try to make things right. They truly don't care about the guest experience. "

"Catalonia Bavaro has become our new annual vacation resort. While we preferred the adults only (Royal Bavaro) resort, the overall vibe of being surrounded by the beautiful Dominican nature, friendly staff and increadibly tasty cuisine they have to offer; truly made our stay unforgettable! Great value and the property is well maintained. Absolutely had a great time at Catalonia resorts."
