we stayed at this hotel for one week and loved every minute!!! I was a bit worried over the bad reviews, but was absolutely satisfied with everything on offer here.

We stayed at the Catalonia Bavaro Beach on June 27. We're a group of 7(two families). Being the first time in DR, we read as many reviews as possible prior to the trip. Below is my summary: Resort ground: Yes it's an older resort but they kept the ground really nice and clean. The vegetations are beautiful with palm trees... more

I read lots of reviews before I left and I tried to focus on the good reviews. I thought the people writing bad reviews were just picky. But, I wish so badly I would have listened to the bad reviews. I would have saved myself a lot of money, and I wouldn't be sick right now. My husband and I... more

We were there June 17 -24. I wouldn't rate this resort as a 4 star but a 3 star for sure. We felt it was a good value for the money. The rooms have signs that show 'don't drink the water'. We have never been to a resort where you couldn't so we were a little uncomfortable with that. Not... more
