Active Advisories
One of the swimming pools at Catalonia Royal Bavaro has been closed for maintenance. The bar and restaurant around this pool have been relocated to a different area for guest enjoyment.
Guests still have access to an alternate pool.
The work is expected to be completed by the end of the October.
Although some noise may be heard, all efforts will be made to minimize guest impact.

Most disappointing hloiday in a outdated resort
Road10276465960 on Jan 08, 2026
The first room has bug in the bathroom, airconditioning was noisy , phone & TV were not working , plug in the washroom for hairdryer was not working The 2nd room , after a few days we were badly bitten by flees , we tipped the cleaning lady only to find half alive cochroach on the florr behind the chair . We continue to have flee bites. This is the most outdated resort I have ever stayed. The only pleasant personnls are in the coffee shop. We paid so much to expect a relaxing holiday and we ended up anxious to leave as the flee bites are irritable Stop renting our your rooms . disinfect your facility
Horrible experience

Catalonia Bavaro Beach Resort – Punta Cana I stayed at Catalonia Beach Resort Punta Cana from December 30 through January 3, 20026 expecting a relaxing New year’s all-inclusive vacation. Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing resorts experiences I have ever had. From the very beginning, everything went wrong: • First room: the toilet did not work properly, the air conditioning barely cooled, the phone was completely not functional, and the room was in poor condition overall. We were forced to change rooms. • We had to drag our luggage back to the lobby as the phone was not working. • Second room: the phone also did not work, the iron was broken, and despite requesting a replacement, it was never delivered. The safe was locked. • One evening, we returned to our room around 5:00 p.m. and it had not been cleaned. Since the phone did not work, we had to walk back to the lobby to request housekeeping. We then sat on the balcony in the rain waiting for the room to be serviced. The New Year’s Eve buffet experience was especially upsetting; I took a lobster and began removing the tail when the server became visibly upset and told me I had to do it at the table. When I proceeded, the server angrily took the rest of the lobster and threw it in the trash. This was humiliating and completely unacceptable behavior. On Friday, we tried to leave the resort and call an Uber. The Uber driver was not allowed to enter the property and told us to meet him at the security gate, which is a very long walk. I asked the concierge if they could take us to the gate by gold cart and was told no, unless we were checking out with luggage. I went to the front desk to speak with manager and was made to wait over 20 minutes. Only after I became visibly upset did they finally agree to help – but by then, the Uber was cancelled and I was charged. At that point, we no longer even wanted to go out. Throughout the stay, I visited the front desk countless times due to ongoing issues. The staff continue just to say they will report the issues (which never happened). Not once did management reach out to check on us, offer a solution, or provide any form of compensation. Staff overall appeared uninterested, unfriendly and indifferent to guest concerns. I also witnessed many other guests complaining during our stay. This trip was carefully planned and meant to be a special New Year’s gateway. Instead, it turned out to be a stressful, frustrating and heartbreaking experience. This resort is poorly managed and not delivering what it advertises as an “all-inclusive” experience. Something seriously needs to be one. Based on our experience, I would strongly advise travelers to avoid this resort until major improvements are made in management, service and guest care. Thank you Valerie Regits
