Great customer care

JoaoLuisD3 on Aug 08, 2026

Spending a week at Catalonia Bayahibe. Choosed Catalonia because I have stayed on next door hotel last year and felt that the beach is much more pleasant in here. Food, accomodation, staff and ammenities all nice. I had a problem with the room that I was assigned, because it was placed on the corner of the resort and subject to too many noise from a source out from the hotel - It was not possible to sleep. Staff promptly swift the room with another one understanding the rough conditions. When you spend your year working and you decide to spend some reasonable money to achieve the opportunity to enjoy some rest, this is the last thing you want to happen. Thanks to Catalonia Bayahibe that was sorted out quickly and effective. I praise the management and the front desk team for customer care.

Not the best!

Shakira C on Jun 11, 2026

We stayed here in October 2025. We have stayed here before in the past. This time we had the most horrid experience. Our bathroom sinks were not working. They were clogged. We had to brush our teeth in the hallways. We complained about our door getting stuck due to the humility. After dinner one night everything inside our room was soaked in wet. Including our passports. The beds were wet all of our new clothes. Our passport were swollen due to the moisture. We reached out to several people including cooperate and they refused to give any accommodation. Only a steak house dinner. I had to wear the same clothes for two days. We asked to get another opportunity to return back to the hotel. In hopes of receiving a better re experience. It was awful especially with children. Below are all the pictures we took from the week stay. After being sent to a different room it was still full of moisture and had to sleep on towels.

Be Very Careful

I don't usually review any hotels I stay in as you get what you pay for, well I could not help myself as I needed to make aware other tourists of a certain member of the entertainment staff Dario on here I had a bad experience with him, he is very friendly but then it came to him wanting tips complaining the resorts don't pay enough. Using his dancing, classes, he charms women. First, he gains their trust, wins them over, and he wants a relationship with them, Little by little, he starts asking for money. He comes up with tragic stories: illnesses affecting his family, no food, when few days earlier he told me the hotel gives them meals, financial problems, etc. He pretends to live alone when I have clearly seen him with a getting cosy with a lady from the entertainment from Italy as staff from Europe work there. This experience with this member of staff is not acceptable as guests pay a lot of money to come on vacation to be faced with this behaviour. More

Just okay

Jeff D (Murrieta, California) on May 20, 2026

Was only here for a short time. The room was average. The all-inclusive is always amazing. The food was good. The beach was way too crowded for us. Way too many people and they run out of chairs on the sand. This was a major disappointment. The pools were nice and the water slides were fun. The bar service by the pool was extremely slow. I know it's island time, but its one person working and 2 other talking while they see the line get 10 plus people long. It took 10-15 min to get a drink. I have been to a lot of all-inclusive resorts. This location was okay or mid-range for me. The biggest bummer was the overcrowded beach.
