This was my second trip to the Catalonia in Bayahibe. I went 3 years ago. First, unlike many schemes to upgrade that are not worth it- Do yourself a favor and spend the extra couple hundred of dollars and upgrade to privilege- it is defintely worth it as past comments have noted. We were in the La Romana Villa and... More

My husband and I were there celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and we cannot say enough wonderful about the resort. The staff were so accommodating and the whole experience was more than we expected. We'll definitely go back.

First, when booking the hotel make sure you don't settle for the "average" rooms. ALWAYS do at least the $8.00 upgrade. Highly recommended. My reservation didn't say anything about this and I was given this not-so-good room and obviously I levied up the following day. The room I was given was ugh! and nothing you would expect, or at least... More

The grounds of this hotel are beautiful! As other reviewers have noted, it is an older hotel - especially if you do not upgrade to privilege. I did not upgrade, but that is because I don't mind the quirks of age. For me, the room was just a place to rest my head at night and for that, I found... More

The beach was lovely to walk on and to swim. Bring your snorkeling equipment a lot of fish to see. An excellent choice, would return...

Travelled with my husband April 1st to 8th 2013.
