We were quite disappointed with our stay.
The bed in our bedroom was broken. Each day we were unable to get pool towels as they seemed to have 'run out' all day long. We were unable to eat at one restaurant as they were hosting a private event, we couldn't eat at another as it seemed it had to be reserved before even arriving to be able to get a booking.

The best beach with sand

The resort is huge and very well maintained. Landscape is outstanding, the beach is clean, the water is turquoise and the food is somehow edible.The only thing that marred the stay was poorly trained room cleaning personnel. It was always something forgotten after the room was made - either small towels, or medium size towers, or coffee packages, or sugar, or water bottles... Every day something new was missing. I naively thought the tips would speed it up. Wrong! Tips were taken and ALL towels of all sizes were forgotten to be changed. To be honest, the Front desk was helpful though. Bottom line: Dear Catalonia Bayahibe, please train your personnel better, teach them that money and tips don't fall from the sky, they actually have to earn it.
Besides that it is a great resort!

Old property and room, condition not working. In buffet waiting water 40 min.

On the positive side, the property is very clean and staff are hard working and friendly. The beach is a beautiful turquoise, sunsets are beautiful and beach chairs are plentiful within a shaded palm forest. The pool has a lot of corners and nooks that are great for small children.
There were some clear negatives, though:
1. There was a huge building being built on the property while we were there in November 2023. Even when complete, it will loom over the property.
2. The buffet was quite local in terms of food. Some days it was good and other times basically inedible. The buffet area is oppressively hot and stuffy.
3. The resort and beach feel a bit cramped and crowded at all times.
4. The sit-down restaurants were pretty middling in our experience and the quality of ingredients wasn't great. Very nice atmosphere, though.
5. The beach is fairly steep, with very soft sand, and somewhat tiring to get to and walk on.

We had only one but big problem and disappointment, related to daily service/cleaning person visiting:
We were spending time on beach till 6 pm, then 1 hour and 30 minutes in the our room: 6:30 - 8 PM, then evening program, out of room: Restaurant, Show, Dancing till 12 AM.
But the cleaning/service woman came for that to our room always at 7 PM, and therefore have completely destroyed our vacation evening time: The period 6:30 PM - 8 PM (1 hour and 30 minutes) was the very busy for us- being in room, after the beach naked (without dressing) we p[planned for Shower, restroom, change to evening dressing for restaurant and start to go to a restaurant at 8 PM. So, any service person visit during this time was very unlikely for us (I was naked man in shower, we really needed to use restroom and so on).
Attempt to explain that to Service/cleaning p[person the several time was unsuccessful - we speaks English, she speaks Spanish only.
3 calls to reception desk and talk to English speaking person also was unsuccessful - she promised to move these visits after 8 PM, but it still continue to be 7 PM and continue to destroy our vacation.
As we see the service persons have not been trained at all:
1. We must not see them at all - they must come when we are out the room.
2. They never must come to room during 1 hour and 30 minutes period 6:30 PM - 8 PM.
3. We must be able to spend time with me and my wife only in the room, without any 3rd person, like service cleaning.

Great beach with clear water.
Front desk service was good and responsive.
Dinning staff was awful, they did not come by to check on you if you need more water or anything else, had to hunt for them yourself. Alcohol options are terrible, the worst I have seen and we travel often. Waiters do not exist at the pool/ beach areas, if you want anything you had to get it your self. I would rate this hotel as solid 3 stars.

Hard to communicate with people who don't speak English at all in the resort.

I had a great time with family and friends. I have something to share that I saw with my own eyes. The buffet cook, who was responsable for grilling the meats and chicken, was using the same tong to grab the raw meat and serve cooked meat to customers. He was about to that to me and, because I told him not to use the same utensil, he grabbed a spatula and served the cooked chicken. If that situation is happening in front of people, who knows what procedures they implement inside the kitchen. We’re back home and I have food poisoning. I shouldn’t have trusted the food I consumed. I suggest you have better training and food safety protocols & procedures for anyone handling or serving food. It’s a family hotel and lots of children and elderly (most vulnerable population) visit each year.

it was our first time going to an all inclusive. we loved it, it was paradise.
only thing when we got to our room the first day, it wasn't ready, bathroom was dirty,but we called reception and they sent the cleaning lady right away.
food is not the best, but it's ok. at least a lot of variety.
most of the staff is amazing, very nice and friendly.
and the place itself is really beautifull.

We had a great time at Catalonia. Food was great. Ambience excellent. Staff friendly. Clean. There was only one staff member that was rude. And it was at the front desk when we checked in. He was not engaged and not informative. But besides him…..everything and everyone else was excellent!!!

It’s a small resort with good pool and awesome sandy beach with beautiful water. We go there for sandy beach and blue Caribbean water. Prestige rooms are renovated and a bit better than regular rooms. Entertainment team is great and teens and adults participate in all activities.
Most European tourists don’t tip. An average salary in DR is about $200 a month. An extra couple dollars here and there will give your personal attention and better service. Tip well and help workers and their families.

Good hotel, amazing beach ,food was ok ,buffet had good variation but the a la carte restaurants werent great. Personal was lovely and worked really hard. Drinks cheap, but they were ok . Would have like the chance to pay maybe a little extra to have nice drinks. Kids loved the pool.
We were "privileged " but the bunk beds weren't very safe so we shared the big double beds with the kids, no biggie. Room service didn't work at all, tried 3 times ,3 times failed.
Entertainers work hard, although twerking competition by the pool in the afternoon didn't think it was child friendly, still my kids found hilarious and love the night shows too.
In general I think it was good value for money, but the beach and the staff which works so hard is what they make the hotel.

Beautiful resort, breath-taking beach, outstanding facilities. My only complaint would be that the staff wasn’t always the friendliest. When we ordered something at the bar, we were often given dirty looks or attitude. Made us feel guilty for asking for something. The service at the restaurants was very slow, we were either ignored or made to feel ignored. Other than the service, can’t complain.

The beach is beautiful, very clean. The grounds are well maintained with mature palms and flowering shrubs. The staff are helpful and friendly. The animation team is full of energy and keep a fun atmosphere going. The 2 shows we saw (Circus , Dominican) were great. Buffet is very good with many choices of food. Rodeo restaurant meals were delicious. Drinks were delicious. We would definitely recommend staying here, good value.
