Everything was PHENOMENAL except for the card reader on our door. It locked us out once per day - 7 of the 8 days we were there. This was beyond frustrating by day 4, but it seems perhaps the door is a lemon as they weren’t able to fix it - though they definitely did try! Otherwise - we had an incredible experience. Staff, service, pools, beach, and drinks were all flawless!!

COCKROACHES. MISMANAGEMENT. MANIPULATED REVIEWS. When we arrived at the resort, shortly after settling in, we found cockroaches in our room. We immediately complained and were moved another room. Unfortunately, the problem followed us, and this time we found cockroaches in the shower. After multiple ignored complaints, we went to the main office to speak with a manager. We were told he would help us, but he never showed up. Only after three nights of repeated complaints we were finally moved into the suite that we had originally booked and paid for to begin with! Management showed zero urgency or accountability. Once they had our money, they simply did not care. To make matters worse, a staff member later approached us and asked if we were enjoying our stay and requested a review. After scanning a QR code, she took my phone and selected FIVE STAR ratings across all categories without my permission, then encouraged me to submit the review. We also spoke with other guests who confirmed they had cockroaches in their rooms as well. This hotel appears far more focused on manipulating reviews and making money than giving people the experience they paid for.

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

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.

This was our second time here and it did not fail to amaze! All the staff was great and courteous, the entire facility was CLEAN and well maintained, the food was excellent, and the liquor (for those who drink) is excellent and unlimited. We're already planning our return trip! Highly recommend everyone to check this place out!
