Catalonia La Romana

Such a pleasant experience at this place. The check in was smooth like butter with pleasant atmosphere of the lobby & a welcome drink. Beach is well maintained ,clean & well equipped with straw beach umbrellas unlike other resorts I've stayed in the nearby location over the years. Multiple employees brought drinks,fruits to the beach during the day. Food at the buffet was great with many healthy, tasty,high quality foods & the a la carte restaurants were excellent, specially Beloved& Tuscania. Employees were by far the best I've experienced in this area from my 12years of visiting this area. A shout out to an excellent barista, Luis Alfredo at the main lobby cafe/bar, he was the best in the entire property. Every corner was so clean & well maintained, well thought out for the comfort of the guests. Location of the cafes, restaurants, bath rooms, etc were very well planned for the comfort of the guests. The only very minor issue was the showers on the beach which was limited to 2 locations unless I've overlooked. The employees were warm, yet courteous & accommodating. We didn't even have to shlep beach towels to change, they were changed by cleaning ladies from our room daily, no need to bring old ones to the specific location daily in the heat. Peaceful without noisy music blasting all day on the beach which is the reason why we chose not to go back to other resorts nearby in the area, yet had enough entertainment to keep certain people who want them occupied. it felt as if even the guests were on higher level in their public manner than others I've encountered at other resorts nearby. Already planning for next visit.

A beautiful location and first impressions were impressive. We had a deluxe room with a balcony - really spacious and immaculate. Having arrived in the early hours, we went to bed accompanied by the relentless sound of the air conditioning. On waking, we both had nasty dry coughs, which continued throughout our stay. We could hear neighbors hacking away, too! Yes, and towel on every lounger, but you fall into the rhythm of that, and it works. We took an early morning walk and swim, so we had great seats. The staff were very inconsistent. Two brilliant waiting staff in BLoved, but generally, we got overlooked even when we flashed some cash. The food was a total disappointment, drinks too. Prepare to be underwhelmed. Pastries at the reception and breakfast were the best things.

Very nice place. I like how you can access all the amenities of Catalonia Bayhibe, which are more extensive, but also retreat to adults only La Romana if you want. I think this is a good bang for your buck. Beautiful beach, great pools, great service (shout out Angel and Andres who were great)

Nice place with nice landscaping. Beautiful and very busy beach. Food and drinks were good with lots of options to choose from. A shout out to Mary De La Cruz & Christopher Daniel working at the beach bar, always smiling and there to please. Thanks for making every day even better!

Our stay was beautiful at this very clean and safe resort, the staff always polite and attentive….amazing service at all the restaurants , especially at the main Buffet Taino ,our waitress Alba made sure that everything was ok,we also got to know Jorge the manager, very nice guy. ( also the breakfast buffet on the adult side had excellent service.) We want to thank the cleaning lady Ruth for doing a spotless job in our room. Loved the beach area,clear water, hardly any seaweed, and plenty of chairs/palapas. P.s. I just have one concern, being an elder person ,I would like to suggest to install a handrail for the first flights of stairs going up in the rooms to hold onto. Thanks.

Amazing animation, especially the dance lessons (bachata, Salsa, Merengue) by Angel :) All are very friendly. The Beach is beautiful. Nice hotel. Would love to see all again. Los Chavos de la Noche is very interesting. Thank you so so much!!!
