We were in the DR from March 6-13, 2013. The Catalonia grounds were absolutely beautiful. Even though it was such a big resort, you never felt crowded.

I have never written a review for any resort I have stayed at.... But the fact that this one was so terrible, I felt obligated. Went with a group of twelve and to start with a positive....

The staff were very friendly and helpfully throughout the hotel.The food was really nice with plenty of choice. The beach was good with plenty of loungers.spent some time snorkeling with was most enjoyable. The golf course was very nice but a little expensive.

We enjoyed our trip very much. Staff was great. Service was excellent. Pillows were very lumpy. Food was koay for the price. Beach was very nice and well groomed while we were there. Swimming pool was very nice. Great slides for kids. I would appreciate it if Trip Advisor would update the photos for this
