We first stayed at Hotel La Catalina in October 2010, when we came down to view a nearby villa for our wedding the following year, and again in October 2011, when we came back for our wedding. We absolutely adore this hotel. The landscaping is gorgeous, and the room we stayed in had a balcony with beautiful views over the... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Hotel La Catalina. I stayed in a very clean, nicely designed, upper level guest room with a gorgeous view overlooking the hotel grounds with the ocean in the distance. I went to bed and awoke to silence other than the natural sounds of birds and a bit of rain. Peace and quiet were exactly... More

Hotel Catalina is a very beautiful, peaceful, awesome place to stay. The staff is always making sure everything is done properly and takes great care of every guest as if he/she was the only one they are taking care of. The view is majestic! Breathtaking! The facilities are very well taken care of! The gardens are fabulous! Every place you... More

Everything about this hotel is perfect. Gardens are to die for, every room has ocean view. Superior bed, pillows and linens for the DR. Great food, great service, this place is a best-kept secret! Exquisite beaches a short ride away (make it to Playa nand LAguna Gri-Gri) This is the real DR, forget Punta Cana, Puerto Plata, Sosua and Cabarete... More

The first time I came here I was alone and exploring the North Coast. I promised myself that I would return one day with my girlfriend and I did at the beginning of September. It is easy to find and in an ideal location secluded and serene. The views are picturesque, we arrived after dark and my gf was blown... More

Hotel La Catalina has understated class and elegance. The owners are more than helpful. The staff are delightful. The service is exquisite.. and the food.... well it is to die for. Add to this, breath taking gardens, the worlds best beaches nearby (Playa Grande and Playa Caleton, (ooh) ) and you have a little slice of heaven. Am I a... More

WE came here for a week in March from cold New England. Great accommodating little hotel in 'real'Dominican Republic. This hotel has 'soul' as does the town Cabrera that it is near. This is country Dominican Republic, flavor, spice, tropical and truly friendly. Quality food and ever so friendly service. This place is for relaxing.....no bustle...peaceful naps and getting the...

I originally booked to stay in one of the all-inclusive resorts in Puerta Plata, but had the opportunity to visit La Catalina. I didn't want to go back to the all-inclusive after experiencing my stay in Cabrera. I was hesitant to book there because it wasn't right on the ocean, but after seeing the accomodations I realized why this was... More

As the title says, I love this place. It's the perfect size, small but not B&B small where you have to interact with an owner all the time. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The rooms are great: simple, tasteful, everything extremely well maintained, fresh and clean. The beds are super comfortable. As others have said, it's not on... More
