Catalonia La Romana

Fumosi al hotel por recomendación de una amiga y nos encantó, desde la recepción hasta la despedida. Empezamos con : Cuando llegas te reciben con una bebida de bienvenida muy rica de frutas naturales. El check in estuvo a cargo de Katherine quien fue mencionada por mis amigos como la mejor porque siempre ayudo con las informaciónes, reservas y todas nuestras solicitudes y por casualidad nos tocó. La habitación de otro nivel estábamos en villa mayor y la habitación es muy amplia y limpia. La comida riquísima, Brianda quien nos recibió en varias ocasiones siempre muy amable. La playa es la mejor de todas, limpia y sin algas. Algo muy importante si no deseas caminar hay un carrito que te lleva directamente a la playa. Sirven bufet lunes y viernes, no te lo pierdas. Muchos abrazos chicos desde argentina.

Stayed at the Catalonia Royal La Romana the week of May 11 to May 18. This was my 6th visit the Dominican Republic, the first time in La Romana. I've stayed in Punta Cana 5 times but always had my eye on La Romana and decided to change it up this time, and I'm glad I did! First off the beach is incredible! So much better then Bavaro beach! Absolutely no seaweed at all and the water is clear. White sand and palm trees along the beach. There are lots of palapas and are all taken by 7:30am - so make sure you're at the beach to snag one by at least 7:00am. Surprisingly the main pool you could go there at 9:00am and there were still lots of chairs available. My guess is because the beach is so nice... The resort is gorgeous. Lush greenery and more palm trees everywhere. One of the nicest walking resorts I've been to. The resort is well maintained and the rooms are nice and clean. One thing that stood out was how friendly all the resort workers were - they all greet you enthusiastically. Usually by the 6th day on vacation at a resort I'm ready to go home, but this time I wished I had booked a longer stay as I didn't want to leave. I believe the friendliness of the staff was the reason. Food was overall very good. The breakfast place by the beach is great - having breakfast right beside the ocean is the best way to start your day! The Eggs Benedict and Rancher breakfast are very good. I tried the traditional Domican breakfast and it was amazing. I only did one a la carte at the Mediterranean restaurant and it was very good as well. I ate dinner mostly at the buffet as they had a decent variety and there was ways something I could find that I liked. Disregard the negative comments about the food from other reviews, either these people complain for the sake of complaining or they are expecting a fine dining experience - remember this is an all- inclusive resort. If you are considering this resort you won't be disappointed. Book it!

We loved this hotel overall and would go back but think mainly for the beach as it's far superior to punta cana. The hotel and sister hotels very quirky and quite instagramable. The rooms are nice and pools clean. The evening entertainment was good and loved the layout with the a la carte surrounding the entertainment area so you can view whilst you watch. For us the food was lacking in comparison to PC and specifically secrets Royal beach. Also, we noted considerably less English speaking guests aswell as staf incuding entertainment team. Overall its very much more geared to Spanish guests. So if u speak Spanish...maybe 4.5stars. I would however recommend the hotel:)
