Stayed at the Catalonia Gran Dominicus from 05-12 thru 05-19. CHECK-IN: I did NOT like the check-in process. The desk clerks will wait on you and then go to another person, and then another. These desk clerks may start helping another person and then come back to you many minutes later. This hotel needs to train the desk clerks to... More

Rooms outdated. Food was good,especially Italian restaurant: pizza one of best I've ever had. Crepe restaurant on beach was fun. Very friendly staff,excellent. Beach not great,especially if you like walking,and pales in comparison to Punta Cana. May be good for swimming. Enough chairs for shade seekers. Beautiful grounds. Summary: Because of beach unlikely to return,but beautiful grounds,lovely staff,and good food. More

As an escape with my best friend, we ended up at this resort. With little knowledge of this area, we looked to employees to recommend things to do. Thanks to Alex, a concierge and Rudi, one of the managers of entertainment, we booked excursions and saw places that we will never forget! We are already discussing a return trip to... More

This is an amazing resort in one of the most beautiful parts of the DR. Small but very well laid out, spotlessly clean and the beach is breathtaking. Delicious food and drinks, great service as always at the Catalonia properties. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone. More

The resort was very clean and the BEACH was the best part...white sand and clear... More

Ok the review is late but still valid I believe (Easter 2008) I had written an extensive review about our trip in Dominican Republic on 43places.com with tips and experiences ... http://www.43places.com/entries/view/2904652 On the Hotel itself ... We booked there our first ThomasCook all inclusive ... We had never one that before as we usually travel off the beaten track... More

Just got back home from 10 day stay in Catalonia Gran Dominicus, and quite frankly I must say my experience was absolutely horrendous, that of course needless to say that I am a person of simple tastes and things. Especially wouldn't recommend this hotel for anyone who is single and if you are ages 18-40 because their entertainment is just... More

I should have written sooner, but here we go. We booked The Catalonia as a cheaper alternative to the normal 5 stars that we usually stay at.And i have to say we will go back!! Thank You James at the front desk!! If you can get an upgrade it is really worth the extra money, as the rooms are very... More
