The hotel is specially designed for a romantic getaway for lovers and is ideal for a honeymoon. Royal Bavaro is a neighboring hotel with the famous Catalonia Bavaro Beach, which is known for its discos, good animation and positions itself as a hotel for outdoor activities. Royal Bavaro is the choice for couples who want to hide from everyone. True, the morals of vacationers are quite free, we were surprised when we met topless sunbathers on the beach. According to the speech reaching us, it was clear that the bulk of the holidaymakers are Canadians, Americans and Spaniards. The atmosphere in the hotel is pleasant and relaxing. There is a lot of space: starting from the arrangement of tables in restaurants and ending with sun loungers on the beach, everything is located at a decent distance from each other, you feel like almost the only guests in the hotel. In January, despite the season, there were few vacationers and mostly they could be found on the beach or by the pool with a smooth descent into the water. Even in Moscow, the tour operator advised me to take a room of an improved category: Junior Suite Deluxe. Our room was closest to the beach and really differed significantly from the standard, so the overpayment in this case is justified. Absolutely loved the room: lime-colored walls, a large hot tub, a huge four-poster bed through the beam, and wicker furniture. Immediately in the recreation area, we found a mini bar with water, soda, beer and snacks. The only negative that was a very weak wifi signal in the room, if you plan to stay in touch or upload a large number of photos, solve the issue with Internet access. But this is a problem in many hotels. But, the main advantage, as I said, is a very close location to a private beach, where only guests of this hotel relax and, of course, there are no hucksters offering to buy some nonsense. The beach is specially designed for couples, double comfortable sun loungers, tents with canopies immersed in the shade of palm trees, a bar with snacks and alcohol nearby so that you can stay anywhere for a long time, the whitest sand, just heaven on earth! You can walk along it in 10-15 minutes to the neighboring beach, where various animations are already being held: dancing, yoga, etc. . The same situation with food: you can choose to visit the restaurants of Catalonia Bavaro, or you can go to your own restaurants. By the way, the cuisine is both there and there at a very high level and the food is varied, it all depends on the number of days of stay. In a week we managed to visit Catalonia only once for dinner and a disco, the rest of the time we spent enjoying the silence. More precisely, the first two days we were completely delighted with what we saw, we cruised between the beach, the pool and the room and did not know where to stay, barely tanning (and this happened on the third day of vacation, the Dominican sun fries pretty much we went on an individual tour to Saona with 2 Bananas , the next day at dawn, we had a wedding photo shoot on the beach with them) and only on the 6th day we realized that it would be nice to get to the restaurant of the neighboring hotel, where VIP places were provided for us. Of course, despite all the luxury of this place, which you admire for the first few days, after a week it becomes boring and therefore the proximity to such a giant as Catalonia is very beneficial. . By the way, for some reason this hotel is not much advertised by tour operators, and there are practically no Russians. Therefore, if you are looking for the perfect hotel for a romantic getaway, we recommend it.

Rooms are good, no dampness; the food is delicious - enough seafood (as I wanted), all dishes for 4+ and 5, with a la carte predominance; the beach is medium in size, well equipped, daily cleaned of algae; drinks - beyond praise! ; the hotel for adults is small, well-groomed, but you can use the entire infrastructure of the complex; the pools are clean; the staff is adequate and friendly; entertainment - from 10 am to 5 pm - about 5 types of fitness + dancing, live music in the evening + disco.

I rested for a week in this hotel, everything went well, and now the day of departure, I am happy to hand over the keys to the reception and then I find out that I have some kind of unpaid bill and the staff rudely demands to pay it, but I did not order anything from paid services. As a result they issued a piece of paper where I allegedly signed and wrote the room number on the bill, everything is very clumsy and forwarded, and even my name is not only my room number.

As a result, I had to donate $ 100 to the hotel because there was no time and there was no opportunity to call the police.
Bottom line: if you want to literally be robbed, then come to this hotel to relax.

we had an abundance of drinks, different food. Choose any restaurant - any for free, all inclusive, and most importantly, everything is delicious!!! ! Quality alcoholic drinks!
Again, I repeat, the staff is good. Waiters, bartenders - well, they are so great that you just want to stay there forever! They even taught us Spanish, when I came home I started learning this language)))
In general, I liked everything, I left, tears flowed...
And so, I can say with what mood you go on vacation, so you will spend it. )))
Good luck to everyone)) I assure you, you will not regret if you choose this hotel!! !

I just returned from the Dominican Republic (14.06. 12-29.06. 12) where I rested with my wife on a honeymoon trip. I'll start in order. We flew through Zurich (Swiss Airlines, I recommend) from Kyiv to Zurich 3 hours, there 2 hours and from Zurich to Punta Canna 10 hours. I met the Tourist Service company (in principle, not bad).

I just returned from the Dominican Republic (14.06. 12-29.06. 12) where I rested with my wife on a honeymoon trip.
I'll start in order. We flew through Zurich (Swiss Airlines, I recommend) from Kyiv to Zurich 3 hours, there 2 hours and from Zurich to Punta Canna 10 hours.
I met the Tourist Service company (in principle, not bad).
We arrived at the hotel at about 17.00, settled quickly, drove to our house (3-storey houses, 4 rooms per floor), unloaded the luggage and started!! ! We are newlyweds (in the hotel booking in the voucher this is INDICATED) and we go into the room: wine is spilled on the floor, pieces of bread are lying on the floor, towels are not fresh, but there is a small bottle of rum as a gift and not fresh fruit wrapped in plastic! The room is of course more or less normal, but if only it was clean!!!
We then noticed how other tourists are met (not even newlyweds) at the reception, everyone is given a cocktail! Can you say that you care about the little things? But the quality of rest consists of such trifles!
We went to the beach. The beach, palm trees and ocean are awesome! The nature in the hotel is super, the territory of the hotel is huge, as if you are walking somewhere in the botanical garden!! ! We return back to the room (the day of arrival), and there water from the ceiling from the air conditioner leaked onto the floor of the room! We called the reception and said about it, they answered that they would come tomorrow and fix everything! The next day they came and poked around, and in the evening again the floor of the room was flooded with water !!!
On the 3rd day we were given another room!! ! We go into the room clean, everything is tidy and the air conditioner blows WARM air (and it’s impossible to sleep on the street without air conditioning) on the fourth day we complain and they offer us to move to another room again (just imagine laying out and folding things every time !!! ) we refused (zadolbalo!!! ) and asked to bring a floor fan.
On the third day, a thunderstorm began and it rained for a day and a half, and for the whole rest it rained 3-4 times an hour.
There is a lot of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but it is all monotonous! Cocktails in the bars (on the beach, at the bar, at the reception) make very tasty and generally Dominican rum is super!
We took 2 excursions to Saonna and Catalinita (the most interesting and most expensive $ 900 for two), but the excursions are cool.
We didn't go anywhere else from the hotel. Shops in the hotel are expensive.
Take mosquito and mosquito repellent with you! I didn't have a single living place on my body!! ! That's horrible! They eat there, although they said that they regularly poison them! In the store they have "OFF" is 20 bucks!!! ! Ordinary consultation with a doctor in a hotel costs 90 bucks!!!
Everywhere it is customary to tip from 1 to 5 bucks.
On the last day of rest, we checked out from the hotel before 12.00, went to take a cocktail, then decided to go for lunch and the concierge from the reception comes up to us and asks if we are leaving today? we say yes. are you from this number? We answer yes. He takes out an envelope with the number of our room and pours out our gold (20 grams), which the cleaning lady found in the safe after we rented the room!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! We found our cleaning lady and gave 10 bucks, I gave an example about theft, although we were told that an expensive camera was stolen from someone near the pool.
Regarding the sun loungers on the beach: there are enough of them, but there are few umbrellas, people take from 7.00 in the morning, or sunbathe in the shade of palm trees, although you can burn out very quickly!
The people are cheerful and kind.
In general, the rest was pleasant, although there are some small flaws!

Nice hotel with bad beach. large landscaped area with golf courses, landscaping. I personally didn't have any comments. in a previous review I read about a room with a bathroom in the room - so you were unlucky with the room or you chose this one yourself. quite comfortable room with a hammock on the balcony, a bathroom with a hotel shower and jacuzzi.

Would recommend for both couples and families with children.

In May, we again visited the Dominican Republic. We had as many as 12 nights, so it was decided to take 2 hotels for 6 nights each 1. Catalonia Royal Bavaro 5 *. 2. Majestic Elegance Punta Cana 5*
So Catalonia Royal Bavaro 5 * The hotel is excellent. Pros of the hotel: 1. Large green area, just a park, every tree and every bush with a sign. 2. Royal service involves a separate beach (really private), without children, a swimming pool, a buffet (lunch and dinner on the menu, breakfast buffet), but you can use the entire territory of the hotel (pool, buffet, ) An excellent buffet on the beach starts working from 12 of the day is very convenient, the main buffet is a variety of everything ( but also people there ………. . ), with fruits in May, tension (there were watermelons, papaya (so-so), pineapple, passion fruit, melon (unsweetened), mango ( apparently different variety not juicy at all) was always lacking. Excellent cocktails in unlimited quantities. Restaurants a la carte so-so. Nothing special. 3. Most importantly, silence, who wants to have fun then on the territory of Catalonii.
A variety of animation during the day on the beach in the pool, and in the evenings near the main buffet. The rooms have internet, (royal service) as well as at the reception, but the speed leaves much to be desired. 4 Sea - (can be attributed to both pluses and minuses) for mothers with children, it’s just a paradise shallow and warm, for those who like to swim, only the pool, in the sea of water, literally knee-deep. There is no promenade along the shore. To the right, the deserted beach is not big and it disappears. and with us, life……. . no comment. ) There is also a deserted beach to the left, parking of boats and several hotels in the distance, one of them is Natura Park Beach, where the sea is deeper and the territory is also very beautiful. 5 rooms with direct ocean view 10% if not less, so see view lovers don't flatter yourself.
The rooms have everything you need, the downside is that there is no bathroom as such with a door, the room has a bath right in the room 50 cm from the bed (in the advertising booklets there is information about the jacuzzi), but it's just a round bath without bells and whistles at 100% humidity dare not use
Conclusion: Great, relaxing stay
After a short move, we ended up in Majestic Elegance Punta Cana 5 * A short wait and we were in the room. The room has a balcony and a huge loggia, which has a jacuzzi and two sun loungers (not in all rooms).
The room has one almost Russian channel (Belarusian, so if the longing for the Russian language crushes, that is, an outlet) fenced off by a thin glass door When you check in as a gift, a battery of booze (rum, liquor, whiskey, and the funniest vodka "Arktika" product of Ukraine) The territory of the hotel is smaller, which is both an advantage (everything is close) and a disadvantage (there is nowhere to walk for fat shake after a heavy feast).
The main restaurant is more interesting food is almost the same except for grilled lobsters, which are served on the beach in the evening in unlimited quantities, the buffet on the beach is in no way inferior to the main restaurant. A la carte: good Japanese, and Mexican, the rest are so-so.
The promenade along the beach to the right and to the left is crazy if you go left there you saw the new Moon Palace Casino & Spa Resort Punta Cana 5 * I really liked the territory there was an idea to go there next time There is no Internet in the rooms, and the funny thing is that it is paid in the lobby 5 y. i. e. in 30 minutes the speed is appropriate, in 30 minutes they only managed to look through the mail, and then not all of it. For a birthday, a gift from the hotel, a cake with candles and a song from the staff (fun and pleasant), and balloons and a corresponding inscription are hung on the door of the room
In general, the rest was a success in comparison, these two hotels are almost identical in terms of service level, each has its pros and cons. But I can say that in Majestic Elegance Punta Cana 5 * I would go again, and in Catalonia Royal Bavaro 5 * I would hardly want to return
