My wife and I went for an My wife and I went for a quick weekend getaway to celebrate her birthday. Our stay had several issues that made it disappointing. Room service never arrived on our first night, and our door wristband rarely worked on the first try. There was a loud leak inside the wall we could hear from the bathroom, and construction outside our balcony made it hard to relax. We were pressured into a 90-minute travel package/timeshare presentation. We walked out after saying we weren’t interested, and although they had promised a free spa package, they refused to give it to us because we didn’t stay for the full presentation. Both my wife and I became extremely sick after eating the same meal and had to spend an entire day in our room. The toilet only flushed once every few hours, and even though we requested maintenance, no one came. The beach was also covered in seaweed during our stay, which I completely understand is out of their control. On a positive note, the staff was very nice and polite. Gladys, one of the bartenders, was absolutely amazing and truly made our vacation feel special. We also had a great snorkeling trip with Tony and his crew from the glass-bottom boats—they were fantastic and the highlight of our trip.

Clean , great staff! Good food, nice view, comfortable bed! However, I still give 8/10. They need to get better on the drinks, especially pina colada, that tasted like soap. Other resorts next to them make better drinks. Also they need to get better wine as the house wine.

Good hotel. Bartenders at pool (Carlos and Ashly) excellent. Daniel at the piano bar is the best, also Gladys at the Siwichi is great. Beach bar awful, worst bartenders of the hotel in that area. Thalassa food is good, but we recommend to walk to the Catalonia Bavaro and visit Ayami restaurant, amazing.

As a native Spanish speaker, I will say this hotel had such rude staff and poor communication between staff. Usually speaking the language gets you better treatment, that wasn’t the case during my stay. The staff on the family side was much more helpful and friendlier.

Stay well away from this place. The beach is more like a lake or swamp. The sand is hard and brown. The pool area is a joke, you have to wake up at 5am to get a pool bed. Staff plays obvious favourites with timeshare holders. No 24hr bar. You have to wait until 10am to get a Bloody Mary or mimosa poolside. The bed in your room will be a pit full of spikes. I could go on and on. However, there are so many bad things; I’ll focus on the down right nasty! Duck, geese, egrets (large pelican like birds) They hang out by the only snack bar that’s open late right by the main pool. They poop all over the pool deck and restaurant. They then jump in the poop and on top of tables and chairs. Omg the amount of people sick is astronomical; my friend included. Two days lost in the bathroom for unknown food-borne illness. The trip starts with a con-job the concierge who is supposed to be in charge of your comfort, knowledge of the property, and safety; they are really just timeshare salespeople. They pray on the weakest most timid guests and hammer them into $30k timeshares that you can buy for $1000 if you negotiate. Many reported wasting 2-3 hours with these yahoos … we had to run away from ours he was calling our room waking us up to make his pitch on the second day…. Good thing we overheard what happened to another couple and ran for the hills. You too should run and not walk; as far away from Catalonia as possible!
