Catalonia Punta Cana - All Inclusive

Beautiful place. Had a waiter and a bartender (men) who I thought were rude or ignored me because I was Black. They prefer to serve whites and colonialism may be ingrained in some of them

My husband and I spent 2 weeks here. The property is beautifully groomed. The property is not huge which is nice. The beach is beautiful however if you are looking to swim it is not very deep. There are lot’s activities at the beach and pool and around the property if you want to get involved. Staff is very nice and friendly. They have great shows in the evening. They do limit you to how many times that you can go into the restaurants for dinner, the other times you need to eat at the buffet. We just gave the hostess 5.00 and we were able to get into the restaurants that we enjoyed. Our room was beautiful and very close to the pool and ocean. I would recommend this property.

booked 2 suites, didn't get them, got 2 rooms, had to put 2 adult sons in a king size bed when I booked 2 doubles. day 1, complained that shower would not drain, nobody came, day 3, I borrowed plunger from maintenance and fixed clog myself. Towels hard to get. Drinks, extremely weak. Buffet, very good, Japanese restaurant, very good. Beach crowded, and too many stray vendors. Wi-Fi very weak.

The property is huge as we expected. The hotel pool is nice and was crowded, so get there early and reserve your spot. The bartenders are all great, but the drinks are weak, even with a good tip. The food was pretty awful. Maybe we're spoiled coming from a big city, but we didn't even enjoy the pizza and fries when we resorted to that. We left after a few days, got a hotel and ate in town and enjoyed our experience but better.

Hotel grounds are very nice. The checkin is slow and the WIFI totally unreliable... the food is good. They had a great New Years party!!!
