Reviews
Would love to come back one day, but sadly we have an unofficial rule of always going somewhere different each time we travel. If this is your first time venturing to the Dominican Republic, hotel Catalonia is the perfect first stop. The island is absolutely stunning.
The downsides. Buffet food was consistently cold. The water supplied tastes pretty dire and I think upset my stomach for 8 out of the 12 days.
Dominican Republic! We will be back to your shores soon.
What was especially noticeable was the way the staff interacted with one another. It was immediately clear that there is a strong sense of satisfaction, harmony, and genuine teamwork, creating a positive and supportive working environment, one of the most important foundations of truly outstanding service.
The hotel itself is flawlessly maintained, with meticulous attention to detail throughout. The culinary experience was outstanding, complemented by an impressive variety of services and amenities that elevate the stay to a truly refined level.
An exceptional hotel in every sense and one that comes with the highest recommendation.
Sequetel is great at his job!
Beach was rather busy.
Resort not very spacious.
Also all 4 of us ended up with sickness and diarrhoea. Another 3 people we spoke to who were leaving the sane time as us, also had had it.
And a special shoutout to Fernando, the entertainer — his energy and charisma brought so much life to the place! He made every moment fun and memorable.
The whole team worked together beautifully, creating an amazing atmosphere that made me want to come back again and again. Thank you all for making my visit so special!
We would especially like to thank Juan, the Dining Room Manager at the Taino Buffet/Restaurant, for his kindness and helpful attitude throughout our stay. His professionalism truly enhanced our experience.
However, we were extremely disappointed with the behavior of one staff member, Ms. Itziar Ramirez from the Customer Service team. During an interaction involving our paperwork, she was rude, unprofessional, and unnecessarily confrontational. Rather than assisting us in resolving a simple issue related to our passport information, she escalated the situation by using intimidating language and even threatened to call security and the police. At no point did she attempt to de-escalate the situation or offer constructive support. Her attitude made us feel frustrated, uncomfortable, and ultimately unwelcome.
Fortunately, after we requested to speak with her manager, Yana, the issue was resolved promptly and professionally. We are grateful for Yana’s assistance and calm handling of the m
