The hotel was beautiful! Great food, beautiful pool and grounds, fantastic staff... but nothing could stop me from getting eaten alive by mosquitos. Half of the resort seemed immune, while the rest of us were tortured! the hotel did their best--they had smoke trucks going around constantly... but in 5 days i had 60+ bites :-( other than that, the... more

A family of five with 16 YO girl and 12&10 YO boys stayed at the Catalonia Bavaro from 12-20 Dec 09. Awesome! Quite week. Low guests which was great for us. Resort located on the Caribbean Sea, the water had a green hue as oppose to the blue hue on the Atlantic side. Yes there is seaweed/sea grass on the... more

Arrived at the resort at 12:30pm, check in was a breeze with the Nolitours Reps. A little disappointed that we had to find our rooms ourselves, but the hotel staff did deliver our suitcases promptly. The rooms was very large, the fabric on curtains, bed looked a little tired and tacky. We were in 2601, and the building is central... more

It was my second stay in PC, first stay was at the Milia Caribe which was nice but very big. I really liked that the Catalonia Bavaro was smaller and much easier to get around.

Can't say enough about the grounds and the layout of the resort. The lobby was also very nice, comfy chairs and lounge areas. Beautiful fountain. The beach... more

In November we stayed in this hotel for two weeks. We never go back again. On the second evening after dining in the Steak House we got sick. During the whole vacation we had up and running stomach problems. For us it didn't matter if we had eaten a la carte or buffet. But we doubt the hygienic situation during... more

We absolutley loved this all inclusive. We were a party of 15 people. Aged 5 -74. Before arriving I contacted the Catalonia. We were 5 families and reserved 6 rooms. We asked to be in the same building and they honered our request. The rooms were ready upon our arrival. Check in was quick and easy. Our rooms were clean... more
