Catalonia Bayahibe

Fabulous location, grounds, and room. A good choice of restaurants, however we found the food in most to be bland. Fresh ingredients, nicely presented but without taste. Our room was fabulous but, next to the power generator so we lived with a constant humming sound! Majority of Staff were friendly & helpful. Generally we were overwhelmed with the beauty of the hotel but certain aspects prevented giving it a 5 * rating. We will return.

Overall, the resort was very nice. Our room was clean and comfortable. The beach was lovely, the water clear and warm. We enjoyed the pool too. The new buffet had a wide variety of foods. The service at the buffet and other restaurants was so-so. Many staff at the restaurants and housekeeping didn’t speak much, if any English. We knew this ahead of time via other people’s reviews. It was fine, we made it work. We had a butler, which ended up being a fantastic service. Dalvin was our main butler and he was terrific. Now, the bad part. Both my partner and I got sick about halfway thru our week, intestinal issues. My illness was so severe, I ended up requiring IV fluids at the onsite clinic. Thank goodness there was a clinic! We have no idea where we caught the illness but we didn’t eat anywhere other than at the resort. Of course, that put a big damper on our week.

We had a great time at the resort the room was amazing the private pool is so worth it! The Beach is beautiful and I can't for get ro shout out the best bartenders in the Dominican Republic Francisco and Victor!!!

My stay at Catalonia was amazing. This was my second time at the resort and I will definitely return. All the staff are very friendly. Jose the bellman was so helpful and greeted us with the biggest smile each time we saw him. The beach is beautiful, food was delicious (the crepe stand is amazing), resort is very clean, love the pool.

The hotel is also perfect, I can’t say bad things about it. Everything is good. But I think the greatest things I like in my trip is the animation team, there is an animation for every nationality’s but like I’m frensh, I got favorites peoples Maria and Saul for the Dominican team and in the Frensh team, Mathilde Malak and Wanda.
