If you read any negative reviews about this place then I don't understand where the people are coming from. We loved this place. This was our second time to Punta Cana. Last year we stayed at LTI and had a great time and this year found this place even better. The room was fantastic - nice and big and clean... more

We stayed at the Royal Catalonia and I read a lot of good reviews before leaving but there were a couple of bad ones that were stuck in my head. Therefore, I was really worried about what we should expect. I can now say that there was nothing to worry about. We had an absolutely wonderful time. I speak very... more

We were 3 adults (30, 36, 38 years old) staying at the Royal Catalonia. The resort is beautiful. Food is very good. All restaurants were good. The Royal side is basically a scam. The rooms are better looking, but apart that, I dont see why you would wanna stay there. Its adults only, the pool is empty all the time... more

We did a lot of research before picking the Royal Catalonia, and were very very happy with our choice. Do take the reviews with a grain of salt on here, of course things will be different from home - this is the whole reason you're travelling! If the food was the same, rooms the same, surroundings the same, then why... more

I have to say, we were a little nervous going to the Royal. There were so many mixed reviews, but all my husband and I wanted was some time away together. So it was a pleasant surprise when we arrived. We knew it was going to be bigger than most other resorts we tend to gravitate towards. We like the... more

Went the week of April 13th. At airport, if you don't want to start out tipping, don't let the guys take your luggage. They are very forward like it is what they are supposed to do, but they expect a tip. We must be closest resort to the airport, so it is only approx 15 minutes and you are first... more

Date: April 10 - 17, 2008 Review is a little lenghty We just returned from the most amazing vacation at the Royal Catalonia Bavaro. Flight from Moncton NB to Punta Cana was fabulous without a hitch, going through the airport in Punta Cana went very smoothly. Bus ride from Airport only took 20 min at most. Once at the hotel... more

After much debate as to where to stay and when we settled on the Catalonia Royal from April 6 - 13 2008. Simply put, it exceeded our expectations. AIRPORT/ARRIVAL The airport? The bus ride? Check-in? Who really cares? We got there on the scheduled day with the beautiful sun and ocean breeze greeting our chapped, dry, winter beaten skin. ROOMS... more

Our reaction to the Royal Catalonia has to be placed in the context of our last two resorts in Punta Cana. They were both impressive, featuring lots of marble, grand staircases, and swimming pool/lagoons that meandered through landscaped grounds. In short, they were gorgeous. The Catalonia. by contrast, is pleasantly old fashioned. Its main buildings are plain. The buffet is... more
