Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Catalonia Punta Cana from previous guests about their experience

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the beautiful and well-maintained grounds, perfect for relaxation, alongside the spacious and clean rooms, some of which are Privilege Deluxe Junior Suites. The beach is a highlight, offering crystal-clear water for snorkeling just past the boom, and the pool area provides plenty of chairs and convenient bars. While some guests have found the resort's size requires a bit of walking between areas, the beautiful landscaping makes it enjoyable. Many appreciate the variety of dining options, especially the buffets near the pool, while others have found the Italian restaurant pasta disappointing. With multiple activities, food choices, and a large pool with a bar, guests find it good value for money.

lush greenery maintained grounds clean room limited option unfriendly staff missing label

The gardens are beautiful. I noticed the grounds are well maintained with lush plants. The rooms were clean. The staff members were friendly, and they seemed to take pride in their work.

The food choices were not the best. The restaurants had limited options, I saw. Many buffet items lacked labels, so I did not know what I was eating.
