  Didn’t want to leave

  I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Catalonia Bavaro Beach Golf & Casino from January 17 to 24, and I can't recommend this resort enough! The grounds are stunning, beautifully maintained with lush greenery and plenty of space to relax. It truly felt like paradise. A huge shoutout to the incredible bartenders who made our stay even more special— Yordanis, Hector, and Luis! They went above and beyond, always greeting us with a smile and making the best drinks. They were friendly, professional, and really added to the amazing atmosphere at the bars. They made us feel like VIPs every time we visited. Yordanis' smile is everything! I also want to express my gratitude to the lovely young woman who took care of our room during the week (Room 308). She was so sweet and thoughtful—always making sure our room was spotless, and she even surprised us with fresh flowers in the bathroom, which was a beautiful touch. While I didn’t catch her name, her kindness didn’t go unnoticed, and I truly appreciated her attention to detail. As a single woman traveling with my young daughter, I also want to emphasize how safe we felt throughout our entire stay. The staff, the security, and the overall atmosphere made us feel completely at ease. It’s rare to find such a welcoming and secure environment where I could relax and enjoy my vacation without worry. I can’t wait to return and see my 3 amigos. This place is a gem

  3 star

  Currently here now worse resort we have stayed in. Expect you to eat at dirty tables left from previous diner, when asked for it to be cleaned ignore by 2 member of the staff, birds eating from buffet.Upgraded to Privileged!! Fridge not filled daily, no towels to shower, no water in room. No waiters service round pool, pool area dirty cups from previous day still on floor, cigarette butt's all around pool . No local shops expect the one the hotel runs pringles £9.00 pound, crisp £7.50. More 3 star if that. Entertainment is very poor.

  Annoying more than relaxing

  This was my second time here I brought my family bc I had a great stay. This time I stayed on the royal side and there was construction on half of the area so wasn’t pleased but wouldn’t let that spoil our trip. We had so many issues with our rooms we changed three times due to broken air conditioner mouldy smelly rooms and my mother had to change three times as well. The first time they gave us a beautiful upgrade for one night then kicked us out and didn’t see anyone in that room for 4 days. Then again due to a huge leak in the Ceiling. Two out of 4 people got ill from the food which was pretty tasty but not sure if there was a good bacteria issue. The beach is annoying bc the vendors bother you all day. I understand they have to make a living but some can get pushy and aggressive. I would have liked to return but the experience was lacking for me this time which was disappointing bc I really liked Catalonia and I raved about it to my family. They also still liked it but annoyed at moving rooms every other night like we weren’t able to settle in a relax. Hopefully no one else has to experience this. The grounds are soo nice and I love all the nature and wild life! The juice bar was also amazing

  Golf trip to Catalonia Hotel

  Stayed for 14 nights at the Catalonia Hotel in a standard room. We wanted to play lots of golf so booked 10 rounds on our first day. The green fee is complimentary but they charge for the buggy at $55 each but got a deal as paying for 10 in one go. The room could do with updating but everything was clean and plenty of room. A quick call to guest services got extra pillows etc We got bitten by insects at first and soon learnt to put plenty of anti mosquito on also for going on the beach on the lower legs. The food was excellent in all the restaurants with plenty of choice. The staff are what made the holiday fantastic. In particular Keina in the main buffet is a star!!! We would definitely return especially in Jan as the weather has been perfect at 28 degrees everyday to get away from the UK winter
