Catalonia Royal Bavaro - Adults Only Reviews

Top accomodation and very clean place. All things and amenities are present.

Nice hotel, with a lot of restaurants. Staff has sometimes a bit an attitude. But overall a nice holiday

This trip was amazing. The resort was beautiful and easy to navigate. The rooms are quite large and the location is isolated and quiet. The beach is beautiful, the food was delicious, the drinks were wonderful. The staff were all really friendly and the service was generally great. There are a lot of vegan and vegetarian options which was great! All the events were really enjoyable and overall it was a really relaxing and memorable vacation! Shout out to the activities director Miki for making our stay extra special!

The food was fine. Most waiters are good people and even more so if you appreciate their service with some tips from time to time. The room is spacious. We did not like that the toilet and shower did not have a door, they are open and can become uncomfortable. Facilities and gardens in perfect condition and clean. Spacious and well-maintained pool and beach area

The service was very hit or miss from the dining and front desk staff. The resort almost seemed to want you to purchase drinks and snacks from their mini mart based upon a lack of options within the room. The front desk staff was very rude, gave us the wrong room when we had paid for an upgrade, and wouldn’t honor a late checkout. For the cost and lack of professionalism and service I would not recommend this resort.

As a flight attendant for 25 years I have to say, the service here is the worst I have ever had. The staff will look at you for tips, they will not go above and beyond for anything and the upgrade to the Swim Villas is NOT WORTH IT!! You have your own pool but no waitress to bring drinks to you. When we called to ask if one of the waitresses from either pool area could swing by and bring us drinks, we were told No, You can walk and get a drink yourself. Additionally, we requested a carafe of coffee to be brought to our room as we drink a lot and prefer it cold, again, NO, you can make it yourself. AC in room never goes below 74 degress and there is only hot water for one person to shower. Food is great and the grounds are meticulous, that is the only positive things about this place. I made a hair appointment at the spa when I showed up, they told me they could not accommodate me. I told them I had an appointment and they said, I know, but we are not doing it! I will be sure to never recommend this place to anyone. The staff need to learn the art of politeness and customer service. Book at TRS Turquesa or Majectic Elegance instead!

We had a nice vacation except for the " membership presentation " which we were tricked into attending and wasted our first full morning at the resort. We were told it was a " welcome" breakfast but not a sales pitch. No mention of activities available etc. as I had expected. The rest of the week was very nice. Lovely beach, pool and great food.

The worst thing in the stay was what was called : Welcome breakfast. I thought why not?? In reality 1) breakfast itself was so so - any regular breakfast on the property is better than this "exclusive" one 2)signing to it you are getting into 90 min sales process 3)after 2 hours we still could not get the price or details of the what was offered 4) we backed off

The staff, the access to the neighboring resort, the water, the food, the ease of navigating through the resort, all made for a great stay. Mostly the staff, amazing crew.

The resort was beautiful. It was relaxing. They had nightly entertainment. I wished that they had more daytime and pool activities for the adults to do. The restaurants were nice the beach clean and enjoyable. The staff were hands down amazing! Lennin and John was hands down awesome!! Very attentive great Customer service very friendly warm and inviting. Jessica at swim up bar great!!!! Wilmer awesome and victor a true gem!! But lennin and John the best!!!!!! The resort was relaxing and they made the stay much better!!!! We will definitely be going back.

Property was beautiful and the staff was magnificent especially Andreina at the buffet and Alberto #1 at Sea Blue. Dinner on the beach was delicious. Only restaurant we did not like because the food was cold and tasted old was Tao Cat. Also staff did make alot of noise early in the morning which was not fun. A lot of people are trying to sell you at all times which we did not like but besides that we enjoyed our stay. If they try to make you schedule your breakfast on the first day, don’t unless you’re interested in purchasing the travelers club.

This is an older resort, but it's clean with great food options and has a very nice beach. If the price is right, highly recommended.

Enjoyed a 4 night stay on the All-Adult side of the resort. It was nice for a relatively quiet and relaxing stay. The music and hub-bub from the family side drifted over at times but wasn't over-powering. The restaurants were nice and bars were convenient. Only complaint was the high pressure "not a time share" welcome breakfast they tried to make us do the first day. Once I realized it was simply high pressure sales I declined. They relented when I insisted I was not interested, but they were much to pushy.

My stay at the Catalonia was an enjoyable time, the facilities were good for the most part, the staff understood and spoke English mostly, but there were few language barriers, nothing that wasn’t able to be figured out. Everyone was friendly except for the staff that worked specifically with the spa area, which was disappointing. The restaurants were okay, the food was not great, but not terrible. Occasionally we would get sales pitches about excursions, we did one and it was fun and completely safe. I wouldn’t recommend leaving the resort alone, lots of run down and abandoned buildings from the airport to the resort. The resort was very clean, however room service didn’t clean until later in the day. I had no service and the wifi was very poor and selective on when it worked. The TV was a majority Spanish channels, entertainment shows were performed nightly and water sport activities were done around noon time. Drinks were delicious and strong. I had a fun time at the Catalonia hotel.
