We had made reservations at Catalonia in Bayahibe a month in advance and when we got there we were told our reservations of four rooms had been cancelled because we did not RE-CONFIRMED. We already had guaranteed these rooms. The resort was overbooked. We asked to speak to the manager and we were told he/she wasn't in. Only the front... more

I especially loved this hotel's location. The ground's were nice and I loved their food especially the fish although quite expensive. There were plenty of things to do: catamaran, jungle or river excursions snorkeling, pic-nics and some water sports. I spent most of my time at the beach so although the hotel was good I cannot overly comment on it's... more

We visited Catalonia Gran Domincus December 2007 two adults and two 11 year olds. We had an excellent holiday on all accounts.

If you wanted quiet you... more

Like several other reviewers, I did not choose this hotel but was forced into it when my resort of choice, the Canoa Coral, overbooked and upon arrival, rudely told us that we MUST now stay there. The first night we waited 3 hours, until 2am, for our rooms, and they never apologized. They claimed it is "similar quality" to the... more

The staff's inability to speak / understand english led to a miscommunication that cost us several hundred dollars in service fees. We tried to negociate some sort of compensation with customer relations they did nothing to help us and never followed up with us as promised. I strongly discourage anybody who doesn't speak fluent spanish to go to this resort. more
