Reading the reviews before our trip I had trouble understanding how the reviews could be so varied. Having been to the resort I can now understand. Parts of our time (1/12 thru 1/20/12) there were absolutely fabulous and other parts left us scratching our heads and chuckling to ourselves. The front desk staff was great. We had emailed asking for... More

Upon arriving at the hotel a readily available amount of friendly staff greet and meet you with cocktails, similarly once you have attained your room key a bell boy service will drop you off at your villa - once there your luggage will follow as it is a country where tipping is expected a couple of dollars for a tip...

We were at this resort the last wk in Jan '12 and had a great time! The staff was very friendly and helpful, the place is immaculately clean and well kept. We were very satisfied with our accomodation and most of the meals. We were not very fussy on the Italian restaurant but the rest were fine. The beach isn't... More

I came to the Royal Catalonia Bavaro and was greeted by Andres Almonte. His character and attitude is what sets him above the rest. He greeted us with a huge smile and let us know he was happy we were here. When ever we needed directions, translations, recommendations Andres had the answer. He was educated in America and speaks English... More

For our babymoon we went to the Dominican republic, to the Catalonia Bavaro Royal Resort We chose an 'adult only' hotel, since we didn't want to be surrounded by loud families & stupid animation. It was an all inclusive formula, something that I have never done before, because I like to organise everything myself & because it usually stands for... More

My girlfriend spent so much time researching resorts before we decided on the Royal Catalonia Bavaro, and then after booking we kept reading the reviews. If you read enough of the negative reviews on any resort you start to doubt your decision, and I admit before leaving I was concerned. After returning I have to say this resort exceeded all... More

This resort is a delight. My wife and I had returned to one of our favorite places in the D.R. Catalonia Bavaro, when we were bumped to their sister resort The Royal. The check-in process was very very smooth (remember to ask them about beach towels) and the staff made the whole process work. A nice cold drink met us... More

Overall it was a lovely resort—I’ll list the good points later, but first, this problem Really needs to be addressed by management: MOLD and MILDEW.
