I just got back from the Catalonia Bavaro, stayed from Jan 28th - Feb 5th For two people flying out of Ottawa we paid $2178 Ca (taxes included) and found trip on red tag. I would not pay more than $1100 (taxes included) or you may come home unhappy. We stayed in Villa 17 - its was close to the... More

Just got back on Saturday & wished we could have stayed longer. We took the advice of some of the reviews & upgraded to a privileged suite. The only one left was room 221 in Villa #2 which was the honeymoon suite. My friend & I didn't really care. We got there early & our room wasn't ready yet, so... More

Me and my girlfriend just got back from the Catalonia Bavaro. Before I left for this vacation, I read the majority of the reviews on this site and for the most part they are all accurate. But if you don't "sweat the small stuff" you will have a wonderful time. The photos on this site are exactly what the rooms... More

One of the best forever! 1) Rooms: Clean, big, comfortable bed. Very nice hamock on the balcony. All the bathrooms have shower and bath. 2) Meal: Every day different menues for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Fresh juices any time you want. Only one minus: you won't find there any seafood and exoctic fruits, which you imagined to taste. 3) Animation:... More

This hotel did a nice job at everything. They had their flaws however overall..we would go back. The rooms were a bit old however the other amenties made up for is and the staff was WONDERFUL! More

The only meal we could enjoy was breakfast because they cooked the eggs fresh for you. The buffets were awful,flys and birds all over the food made it... More

We stayed from the week of January 23rd to January 30th 2012. We had a group of 21 people who were there to celebrate our wedding. 2 couples were there to celebrate their honeymoons. I'd to begin by saying that we have been reading every single review since December 19th 2010, the day we started organizing our wonderful trip. Awesome,... More

Let me start off by saying that I stayed at this resort approx 1 yr ago but I have just recently started reviewing on trip advisor. I went on a fun vacation with a girlfriend of mine just to get away from the winter blah and we had a great experience. Not to say there were not some draw backs... More

First, I'm pretty sure I stayed in the exact same room in building 18 as respiratorytherapist below. It was huge and very clean and it really is a great location close to the beach and pool. The only downside is that you have a long walk to the evening restaurants, but you have a breakfast/lunch place only 20 steps away.... More
