We returned from a 14 day vacation at the Catalonia Gran Dominicus gorgeous resort. We were there from 21’th of June to 5’Th of July 2009. First of all : Except 2 rain showers lasting about 5 to 10 minutes early in the morning(3 – 4 A.M.), the weather was splendid, always sunny, despite the forecast of numerous weather channels... more

I stayed in this all inclusive resort between June 18 and June 22 with a bunch of friends. We landed in Santo Domingo and took a cab to La Romana (it was cheaper than pre booking and it only took a minute to get a cab right outside of the airport) Pros: Awesome entertainment with a lot of dancing, a... more

I ended up going to Catalonia Gran Dominicus solo due to unforseen circumstances. I was there May 25 - May 30th. The first night was terrible - couldn't find a way to communicate with anyone except the front desk. I almost changed hotels to one nearby that I knew a lot of people on my plane were staying. I did... more

We booked a room through Travelocity - it was also our first experience in an All Inclusive resort. The rooms are a bit older, but the staff keeps them clean and they appear to be remodeling and updating - so it should get better. It's a bit off the beaten path - we drove from Santo Domingo (2.5 hours). The... more

So upon arrival, I was given a French Bracelet, too. if you don't want to be away from the construction (new hotel on the east of the resort, and remodeling through... more

Alright the Gran Catalonia Dominicus was a nice hotel, the maintenance staff is always primping the grounds (which are very mature). We stayed at the resort from April 6th to the 13th! I was with 2 of my girlfriends all under the age of 30! It was EXTREMELY helpful that one spoke Italian...otherwise we were screwed! It is definitely 90%... more

We stayed from March 30th - April 6th 2009. My wife and I, along with our 2 kids (9 mon and 3.5 year old) stayed in the penthouse suite at this resort. We received a room with a king size bed, single bed and crib, as requested and the room was great with ample room, 26" lcd with cable, and... more

We spent 2 weeks in this hotel in March 2009. The best part of this hotel is the staff who, without exception, are very efficient, attentive and super friendly. The hotel is well established and grounds are beautiful with mature trees and shrubs. The reception is small and the check-in chaotic. Rooms are spacious and clean. Beds are super firm... more

While trip advisor is a great site, it does take a while to thoroughly read many reviews. An executive summary by each reviewer would be great. Here is my idea of the most helpful review for now. Overall this is a pretty good resort. To get you out of reading the rest of this resort’s reviews early if this place... more
