    Our group 11/11 of us said we would return

    We were in the Privilege Deluxe Junior Suites and we had beautiful rooms that are comfortable and well stocked daily . The pool and beach areas had lots of chairs and there are convenient washrooms and bars in both areas. As a group we were very pleased with how every area could easily accommodate us together from the lounge to the Specialty restaurants. Food was great throughout the resort, as were the drinks ( they accommodated a variety of requests) . Strengths , staff were helpful and pleasant, special mention Delmira at breakfast and Ice in lobby. Evidence of areas being cleaned frequently.Cons It’s a big resort so it is a bit of a walk from one area to the next, but the grounds are well pathed and some of the most beautiful landscaping we have encountered with birds and flowers, herons and turtles etc . which makes the walk enjoyable. The coffee shop closer to the lobby would have been better and a second area of quieter entertainment would have been nice. We did enjoy Beatles night . Over all a great week!

    Exceptional stay thanks to Lenny, Lisandro, Francisco, and ETC Traveler Club perks!

    My wife and I recently spent our vacation at Catalonia Bavaro Beach, Golf & Casino, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. A special shoutout to Lenny, Lisandro, and Francisco from the Concierge team from ETC, the Traveler Club we are proud members of. Their kindness, professionalism, and attentiveness truly elevated our stay. As club members, we enjoyed additional perks that made the experience even more delightful. From personalized recommendations to exclusive amenities, everything was perfect. Thank you for making our vacation so memorable—we can’t wait to return!

    My favorite hotel in Punta Cana

    Catalonia has an excellent infrastructure and the service from the staff is superb. We had a reservation in the Terrace restaurant and the food was one of the best we had. Our waiter Angel was the best waiter I've seen in a while. Great attitude and a lot of knowledge. The pool and the beach are beautiful. They clean the room every day and there are many activities and shows at night.

    Lovely, fun and relaxing for our family.

    Being an Exclusive Traveler Member I will be trying out all Catalonia’s Resorts. This resort is beautiful, the grounds are so well maintained. The beach lovely, seagrass raked up every morning. It’s lovely to be able to use their amenities on the beach for example the hobie cats and Kayaks. Staffing all over the resort are very friendly lovely greeting every time they saw us. The downside of this resort Restaurants. Menu Food and Service all need upgrading. Buffet food in main lobby is superior to the restaurants.
