I had to think about this resort if i could really find any negatives, we stayed at the Catalonia Bavaro from Nov 5-15/08 and had 10 days of terrific weather, fun and good times! The resort is large 700 rooms and i didn't know if i would like such a big resort, usually we stay at 2-300 room places and... more

This was an excellent Resort. Four of us went down to Catalonia Bavaro - 3 gals and one of the girl's fiance. The staff were so friendly and nice. The entertainment at night was awesome! We even went up on stage and embarrassed ourselves. The pool was great! The alcohol wasn't as strong...it seemed a bit watered down to us... more

Just returned from 7 nights at the Catalonia ( 12 - 19 Nov) and can honestly say that we had a great time. We paid £650 each via First Choice, this included flights, transfers and 7 nights all inclusive. I won't bore you by reviewing topics already covered other than to say, take dollar bills for tipping, they do really... more

Spent 6 nights/7 days here last week. With a last minute direct flight from JFK (approx. $450/each), so the resort was approx $75-80/person/day. Catalonia Bavaro was really great for what we wanted - simply to rest and relax, not a jam packed vacation adventure. Property has nice grounds with the beach and pool areas both well maintained. While we did... more

Myself and three other friends took a "guys trip" so booked two suites for four nights. The price was beyond belief---cheap. The resort is very nice but the rooms a little dated with a musty smell (like in most beach climates with old hotels). If you are from the U.S., you may be a stranger as the resort is Spanish... more

We arrived at the Catalonia on 28th October, after a great deal of worrying about the recent pool construction which we had heard about. After a speedy transfer (great after the 9 hour flight from the UK), we were checked in quickly by friendly staff and were pleased to find there was no construction of any kind which affected us.... more

I must have read a hundred reviews of this hotel and others before I booked. I booked this hotel because at the time I found no negative reviews. After I booked some cropped up. However, I think I disagree with many of the issues. When you are getting an all inclusive vacation as reasonably as this hotel is, I think... more

We stayed here for one week. Our room was dated and the shower completely sucks. The tv remote doesnt work at all and the toilet you need to always fiddle with. I do watch tv at night at a resort cause i dont drink the shows are all lame...michael jackson was okay. The pool was under renovations but i can... more

Catalonia Bavaro Oct. 26th – Nov. 2nd We flew out of Toronto on Skyservice A320 in Row 23, very short of leg room. Uneventful relatively smooth flight arrived 5 minutes ahead of schedule time at 10:25 am, customs was very quick, luggage quick and onto bus to resort with Grande Presidente in hand within about 20 minutes of arrival, 10... more
