Room needed updated electrical and AC systems. Adequate food and restaurants but cats and dogs roaming the grounds made for unhealthy eating environment. Beautiful pools and palm tree beach area were enjoyable but good luck finding a poolside lounge chair

The Catalonia Royal Bavaro is a beautiful resort with lots of restaurants and amenities. I chose a privileged room for the added perks, but aside from the closer distance to the beach, we didn’t take advantage of any of the perks (discounts on spa/dinners). The room itself was large and spacious, but not well lit. The location may have been shaded, but the lighting inside was very dim. The beach was full of pretty palm trees which provided a lot of shade, but there was quite a bit of seaweed along the shore. We explored the family resort for more dining options and the beach/pool. The family buffet had excellent variety for dinner. Tao Cat and Bloved had tasty options for meals, but Sorrento’s pizza was not very flavorful. The NYE buffet at Thalassa had delicious variety as well. The employees including bellhops, servers, and security personnel were welcoming, friendly, and attentive! They care about providing the best service. We requested late check out which was included in our reservation based on availability. We asked the night before and were told to check the day of check out. We then called the morning of check out and were asked to come to the lobby which was a bit of a walk from our room. When we arrived, we were told we could not check out an hour late. We understand limited availability especially around the holidays, but were frustrated that we weren’t simply told “no” when we called. Aside from front desk difficulties, we had a wonderful stay!

So we were here for 5 days me and my 2 friends stayed in 2 rooms here. After the first day one of the rooms air conditioner was stuck on freezing and there was no way to fix it, then there was no hot water for the remainder of the stay, this resulted in me being sick on my second to last and last day. Most of the food was not good/cold. Most of the staff were unhelpful and rude. At the restaurants my friends asked for water multiple times and the wait staff never brought anything. They were also overall just unfriendly with the exception of the staff in the lobby/front desk. Also this was advertised as an adults only resort however that isn’t entirely true there is a connected adults only part of the resort so we were still bumping into children which is what we tried to avoid by booking an adult only. They had a lot of on resort events but most of the ones we tried to go to didn’t happen. (Mainly the ones during the day) We also ran into the problem where certain vendors would run out of stuff for example the coffee shop would be out of key ingredients. There were 2 restaurants that were really good and the resort itself was beautiful. The pools were nice and there was enough places to swim in the ocean, with complementary Kayaking, Windsurfing, and Paddleboarding. The nightclub was cool a couple hours into it being opened and the coffee shop was pretty good. There were plenty of bars and overall the drinks were really good and the Bartenders were able to make most drinks.

food quality was not very good and the rooms need maintained better. we had a private pool and the water was ice cold. the toilets, bathtub, air conditioning, and resort website barely worked. the liquor choices are ok, you have to pay extra for middle-line stuff like jack daniels. you will constantly be harassed on the beach to buy something and we saw someone steal a pair of airpods from someone staying at the resort (was not a resort worker). the actual resort workers are extremely friendly and do their best to help you have a good time. this was not what my fiancé and i expected, we were in cancun 6mo ago and it was better and cheaper. the resort itself is beautiful but some of the amenities and food/alcohol choices need to be updated.

The staff was amazing! Food was pretty good specially the dinners. Watch out for the tour sellers on the beach once you give them your money and you want to change something its not the easiest thing to do on the other hand they are much cheaper than the guys in the hotel for scuba diving hotel asked for $220 and the beach people did it for $150. Everything outside the resort seems very scratchy but all the people were nice and everybody was safe. Will definitely go back

First thing off the plane I was rob of 150 by being told it was for excursions for me and my wife then lied that the guy that grab our bags for amrstar group would get us to our resort only to give him 35 bucks and he dropped us off at end of airport were I was charged 35 to be taken to the resort. Then after getting there and explaining to my reap he told me he would get my money back the next morning only to be tricked into doing a time share tour with the other place with them and still only received 100 of my money and a coupon book all in all please take you'll time and don't trust these people we go there to enjoy what little time we have and spend our money on what we want to do not to be took advantage of.

The property is beautiful, but if you are looking for a beach front resort- this isn’t it. The beach is tiny and full of seaweed and debris. Plus, there’s never enough lawn chairs for the guests. There is very little entertainment besides yoga, swim aerobics and maybe a singer in the evening. We only got to try 3 restaurants because all the other ones were booked our entire stay. Room service food is horrible. There are no places to get snacks except a food truck with limited hours. Some of the staff were very nice but half were rude. There’s never a vacation vibe going around the pool with upbeat music. It’s silent most of the time. Food is mid in the restaurants- wine is extra. Drinks were mid too. They also were not accommodating at all when our flight was canceled and we had to push our arrival back a day. They said there was no manager on duty until Monday and the policy was to cancel our entire trip to be a no show. Thankfully Expedia stepped in on that one.

Unfortunately our experience did not align with the very high ratings we relied on when booking. We saw cockroaches in our room on two separate occasions. On our first day, the air conditioning would not turn off, and after insisting on a room change, the door lock in the new room did not work, leaving us locked out for several hours until I demanded a supervisor’s assistance. The food quality was very inconsistent and at times almost inedible. The drinks were also poor quality throughout our stay. What concerned us most was something we personally witnessed that helped explain the high ratings. While dining at the BLoved restaurant, the host approached my sister-in-law and asked her to leave a review. She was told to scan a QR code, which opened Google Reviews, and the staff member selected “5 stars” on the phone before handing it back and asking her to write something about the service. This explained why so many reviews mention staff rather than the overall resort experience. There were some positives. The beds were fairly comfortable, the rooms themselves were not bad, and the resort grounds are pretty. The staff were generally nice, the hot water was good, and we did find one fairly decent restaurant on site, Thalassa. However, there was a lot of seaweed, the water was murky, and overall the quality of food, drinks, room issues made this stay disappointing. Based on our experience, the online ratings did not accurately reflect what we encountered.

Service horrible, false pictures , not the room you get. Dusty blankets made me so sick and triggered my allergies. Staff was not cooperative at all, gave us the room that we had booked anyways later and made it sound like an upgrade. When asked for compensation tried to give free dinner and made it sound like a favor when everything was all inclusive anyways and tried to get us to sign a paper to say just bc we are accepting the dinner we release the hotel of all the liability for me getting sick from their dusty blankets and for all the inconveniences. When I complained to hotels.com about it and they tried to intervene the front staff kept on disconnecting the phone on them and never got the manager on the line
