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.

My fiancé and I booked this trip for his birthday and our one-year engagement. We had the best time and the best service! We booked four nights from 12/19/25 - 12/23/24. The hotels is beautiful with tons of restaurants, shops, bars, rec area, pools and private beach. The staff works really hard and are extremely friendly. We are already thinking of when we can come back!c

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!

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

Beautiful resort with multiple dining options to choose from each night. The staff are very friendly and welcoming from all departments. Housekeeping does a remarkable job keeping the entire resort spotless. Food was delicious as well. We enjoyed our room in one of the privileged suites and the beds were very comfortable. The resort is quiet day and night with activities ending at 10 pm. We also took advantage of being able to dine two nights at the family friendly resort next door. This was my second time staying here and would recommend Catalonia Royal Bavaro to anyone!

Thalassa restaurant is great. Air conditioning did not work properly. Never below 24°. Nice lobby and piano bar. Definitely good value for what we paid.
