Catalonia Royal La Romana Adults Only - All Inclusive

Staff was great, beach was amazing. Only draw back was people saved chairs at the beach and wouldnt show up for hours even though there are signs saying its not permitted.

Beach- Best in the DR! We never had an issue finding a palapa after breakfast. The towel stand was beside the sushi bar that smelled like sewage. Food- We thoroughly enjoyed the food at the adult buffet (Monday and Friday only for dinner; daily breakfast). The pastries were fresh. Lunch at La Isla-chicken burger and potato wedges were our favorite. Dinner at Tao Cat was the best. The sampler & pork with sweet and sour. Rodeo steakhouse was a total bust. Service was very slow & pork skewers were undercooked. Cheesecake was good.Reservations were usually required for the a la carte restaurants. Drinks- Caipirinha with double Leyenda rum was our go to. Margarita & champagne were also good. Lobby bar closes at 1am! Entertainment- there was usually live music or some type of show until 11pm. Kept us entertained from our balcony most nights while we smoked cigars. Room- Very spacious and clean. Maid staff was sooo friendly. The shower is large enough for 4 people and has double shower sprayer and rain head showers. We didn't realize until the end that there are 2 maids (morning & nightly turndown) who serviced our room. We tipped both. They provide water soda, beer, peanuts, oreos. Hand soap vs bar soap. Negatives - I wish there was a late night snack bar. They have pastries during the day at the lobby bar but not nightly. When you're drinking until 1am, you need fries, chicken tenders, pizza, etc to soak up the alcohol. Room service had next to nothing after 10pm.

I was in the adults only hotel and everything is perfect except i wish they would put at least a low volume music at the bar cause after 9:30pm there’s nothing to do but go to your room. The bar is silent and you have no desire to have a drink. Feels like a funeral. They could put a very low music so the guests can enjoy while sitting by the bar and unwind.

We didn't like anything about this property. Three different rooms, all with issues. One room's location was in the main travel path for the resort and right beside nightly entertainment, one room had water pouring out of the ceiling AC vent and one room had no AC and we had to stay in that room all night. Beach is a distance to walk although they offer a golf cart ride every 15 minutes. Beach is also packed tightly with chairs and it fills up quickly early in the morning with people staking their claim. Pool is extremely small and lounge chairs are limited.

I would rate this resort with the following stars: 5 star for personel service and kudos to Angel the golf cart Driver, David the time share Promoter, Bartenders Jessica, Gabriel and the Best one not sure of her name at the main adults only pool Mariolis? the bartender. 5 Facilities where really nice and manicured 3 stars for food in general, breakfast was the best, we tried some of the a la carte restaurants like Bloved and Toscana, in one of them they offered grouper and gave us red snaper instead without telling us, The food in general was just like banquet hall food Very lame. 3 Star for The room. We purchased an upgrade to access to the pool directly from the room was a big plus. But we had to kill more them 8 little tiny cockroaches and the bed was too hard for comfort.

Nice hotel, the staff is great. Needs an area or a saloon with music to dance

More entertainment for adults would be nice. The family side was way more fun. They need to have better music choices or dj for adult pool w longer hours. Better way to schedule restaurants would be great. Extremely hard to book different spots for the week; with really late dinner times. They need to upgrade their pillows and bed- had a really difficult sleep. However with that being said my stay was great . The ocean was clear, sand was clean, aesthetics of the property was beautiful. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. If you are looking for a place to disconnect and not do much but relax this is the place for you.

Vacanza veramente bella. Ho inserito tutte stelline positive Piccola precisazione per la sezione soli adulti. Al mattino ci sono già tutti gli ombrelloni prenotati perché le persone scendono alla sera per prendere il posto, anche se c’è un cartello con il divieto. Per tutto il resto perfetto

Beautiful resort with nice & friendly staff members. Room was always cleaned and restocked. Shade huts at beach are normally taken by 6:30am & Buffett food is good, just gets boring if you forget to make dinner reservations. If you like a laidback, relaxing resort then book!

Very quiet, private Unfortunately could not find reservations during our stay (7 days) at El Rodeo or Toscana restaurants. Theater activities very poor. Merenguero lots of fun for families and dancing. Staff EXCELLENT in every way, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Las instalaciones muy limpias comida de muy buena calidad. Todo el personal muy amable.

I stayed at Adult only side. Property was well maintained,clean in every area. Staffs were very polite,warm & accommodating in every section. Food was excellent at the buffet as well as a la carte restaurants, specially at Beloved restaurant, superb dishes & service. Beach was kept clean daily by ground staffs & multiple staffs from cafes on the beach delivered drinks,water to guests with amazing manner. I've been going to this area for over a decade in different hotels but Catalonia Royal is by far better than any others, even better than much higher cost place like Hilton La romana. Looking forward to going back soon.

Very clean and staff was great.

Todo muy limpio propiedad todos los lugares al rededor las personas super amables

Our room was spotless, the staff were great and the food options were plentiful ! The only complaint we had was the iron, it was a struggle getting wrinkles out of our clothes ugh

The service was terrible and the food was mediocre. Furthermore, the attitude of the staff was atrocious and disrespectful. The cups, cutlery, and plates were dirty and smelled putrid from being either unwashed or poorly washed. Not to mention, the drinks were insulting while the only worthwhile enjoyment was the beach for how clean and clear it was. In conclusion, there are much better hotels in Dominican Republic compared to this one.

Okay stay. Property was clean and organized. The beach was fantastic! The workers were attentive and quick. We had a swim out room which I always try to do. Swim out pool was very dirty. The room fridge was barely stocked. Im mostly disappointed in dinner options. Everything is by reservation except for the buffet. We stood in front of the itailian restraunt barely anyone eating and were told they were fully booked. The only thing that saved our trip was the beach was beautiful. We have stayed in punta cana many times and and the beach did not compare to this one, we recommend Dominicus/Bayahibe/La Romana.

I like how clean the facility was and the staff were super nice and helpful. One thing i wish was alittle better was the food choices. The beach was clean and beautiful.

Resort was clean and well maintained; pathways were marked, well lit, and had security cameras; security was present and walking resort regularly; staff was friendly and helpful; dinners were excellent and service impeccable...including bar service; rooms were cleaned/replenished twice each day; pool was clean and relaxing; live entertainment was a great way to wind down at the end of the day. Would recommend to anybody looking for a relaxing and carefree gataway!

The property has a beautiful atmosphere, but upon my arrival my room had AC issues which I had to reach out 3 times for and wait 6 hours for it to be addressed. I was given a new room that was not ready for use, so I had to keep calling for the typical room amenities like pillows, robes, slippers, soap, and even the beach towels. The room service menu is not up to par for 5 star hotel; it only had 4 items at night, and did not bother ordering Bc I was told it was a long wait. Before checking out I had asked for a few items to be frozen the night before and upon checking out the were only placed in the fridge, which was an inconvenience for my travels, and upon my concern my discomfort was not validated. Customer service was not what you would expect at a 5 star hotel. I do like that there is a section for adults only. The best service came from the bellboys! Overall enjoyed the beach, pool, buffet food and all vacations are good with great company.

We enjoyed our 5- night stay at this hotel. Our duplex room with private pool had everything we wished for and even more ! The maid provided the necessary services. We spend time on the beach with white sand and turquoise water .. had diving and snorkelling tours .. had fine dining in the hotel’s restaurants . Minor inconvenience were loud evening shows. Although some guests enjoyed entertainment, we would prefer this activity would not be next to the private guest rooms.

Door to my room stayed open

Long review but I hope someone finds it helpful. The Room: we had a swim up suite. The room was well kept and clean. There was no hair dryer but you can request one. The "mini bar" consisted of sprite coke and 2 very small beers. The "snacks" consisted of 2 small packs of peanuts and one pack of oreos. They replaced the peanuts but not the oreos. The shower had wonderful water pressure. They have shower gel and conditioning shampoo - no actual conditioner. The AC worked really well. The bed was extremely hard so not what I prefer but if you like feeling like you're sleeping on a sheet of plywood this is the bed for you. Our room was right next to the Plaza which meant we got to listen to the thumping music all night. Not a huge deal except on the nights we had to be up early the next day for excursions. The pool was smaller than I'd of expected but still okay. Note they do not have any complimentary floaties so bring your own pool loungers. The Food: the food was about 50/50. Some was very tasty and great. Some was just horrible, I even had to send some back and order something else which is extremely rare for me. For my personal preference, there were not enough options for food and the hours kind of suck. Dinner requires a reservation which also in my opinion, sucks. 1 because I'm on vacation I don't want to plan every moment of my day and 2 if we had food that was gross it's not like you can just hope over to a different restaurant to eat something different. We did not

Beautiful Beach, Ocean, & Property...A lot left to be desired. The beach and the ocean were amazing, truly world class white sand and water with amazing sunsets. You had to get a chair early to ensure you had a space to enjoy for the day, but we always managed. The beach bars were relatively easy to navigate and occasionally had serves taking orders. We didn't spend much time in the pools, but there was plenty of seating and seemed peaceful. Rooms: We paid for the 2-floor suite with a plunge pool. The rooms are well appointed and modern and really quite enjoyable. The real downside is that the hotel holds their evening entertainment in the common area below these specific rooms (only on one block of rooms had these type of rooms on the property) and if you wanted to go to bed before 11 it was nearly impossible. Just be warned if you do book these rooms that it will likely be very loud. The rooms were clean and in spite of some mixups with no soap left or toilet paper in a bathroom (just once) the cleaning service was commendable. Food: In general, it was not good. You never go to an all-inclusive thinking the food will be great, but this was particularly unappetizing. The Royal Catalonia specific restaurants for lunch were better than the other spots for lunch & dinner, but don't expect much. Staff: Some of the bar staff had moments of friendliness, but in general there were a number of forgotten requests or long delays in service when seated for a meal.

We didn't like anything about this property. Three different rooms, all with issues. One room's location was in the main travel path for the resort and right beside nightly entertainment, one room had water pouring out of the ceiling AC vent and one room had no AC and we had to stay in that room all night.

I would rate this resort with the following stars: 5 star for personel service and kudos to Angel the golf cart Driver, David the time share Promoter, Bartenders Jessica, Gabriel and the Best one not sure of her name at the main adults only pool Mariolis? the bartender. 5 Facilities where really nice and manicured 3 stars for food in general, breakfast was the best, we tried some of the a la carte restaurants like Bloved and Toscana, in one of them they offered grouper and gave us red snaper instead without telling us, The food in general was just like banquet hall food Very lame. 3 Star for The room. We purchased an upgrade to access to the pool directly from the room was a big plus. But we had to kill more them 8 little tiny cockroaches and the bed was too hard for comfort.

Plus: superb kind staff & safety, Cleanliness Cons: hard to get around when it rains; even difficult to go to eat. Water enters the GF Rooms.

We lost our time managing the toilet flush down, with bad smell and noise We also found cockroaches in the room We had to require a room change but holidays were spoiled, after two days; holidays were already spoiled

Staff was very friendly, customer-focused & attentive to needs.

Great Staff and very clean. Love it! Definitely will be back

Pros A good beach and excellent swimming. Lots of trees and well-kept vegetation, lots of birds. Good selection of alcohol. Quick response from the front desk to requests or complaints. Cons Almost complete lack of knowledge of English, poor training of employees, familiarity, instead of service constant loud conversations with each other, over the heads of guests. So-called music thundered from everywhere, literally killing guests privacy. The quality of food is below average, we had to change dishes several times. Once in a restaurant, appetizers and main courses were served to us at the same time. There is no knowledge and professionalism in making cocktails. Monstrous taste in interior designs and furniture.

Staff were very pleasant and polite, good entertainment and food was very good

The food was mediocre, drinks was watered down, staff at Tao Cat was messy… spilled hot soup on my thigh, gave me ice to put on it. Didn’t even come back to ask how I was doing.. Their biggest concern was to have us sign up for their sales presentation… every time you are in the lobby you have to be dodging them.

The staff is very rude and they take their time to wait on you. Unlike Punta Cana with the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The maintenance in the grounds are impeccable. My wife got food poisoning the last day. The biggest problem with this resort is the staff. Very unwelcoming and very unfriendly.

Staff are amazing!

The beach is beautiful, bar and restaurant are good. The property is walkable.

The location is nice. However food is bad. The only good thing is the buffet.

I would rate our stay at Catalonia Royal La Romana at 7/10. The property of the adults only hotel is not big, there isn’t a big area to walk around. The 2 property pools are on the smaller side as well. The rooms are nice, modern. Property has a lot of security guards which is also nice. Our most favorite thing was the beach and the water. Super clear water, just as blue as the pictures in the advertisement. Would definitely recommend bringing a snorkeling mask as there is a lot of fish and reefs very close to the beach. The beach is nice, but is a bit small, which beach chairs pretty crowded. As well you have to come to the beach early to be able to get a beach chain under the umbrella. Drinks are served at the beach all day, which is a nice refreshment on a hot day. A huge downside for us was that there is A LOT of smoking guests on the property. There are no designated smoking areas, so people smoke in all public gathering places, and especially the beach, which is quite disturbing to those who don’t smoke and don’t appreciate the smell of it. I think this really needs improvement. A lot of the staff don’t speak English, but most are willing to work it out with understanding you. Room service was very slow, food was delivered cold, and orders aren’t delivered at night, even tho the option is available. Restaurants are average, without a too big of a menu. Our favorite restaurant was the Peruvian Siwichi. Overall, we had a good time, and enjoyed the beach and the water!

We chose Catalonia La Romana because it had one of the widest beach areas, beautiful beach and water, because it was removed from Punta Cana, and it had adult only pool and dining options.

This resort is wonderful. Beautiful beach, fantastic staff everywhere. water is calm and seaweed free. We could walk out at least 200 feet. A la carte options are good although too many are shared with the family resort. Skip the lobster dinner. Will definitely return.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The staff was great and friendly. There's a variety of restaurants and activities. Facilities a little dated but well maintained. There was construction on new facilities behind our room during the day. Beach was nice except for vendors soliciting.....Other than that we recommend learning some Español, to include myself. No seed weed on the beach during our stay. Weather was nice also.

We didn't like anything about this property. Three different rooms, all with issues. One room's location was in the main travel path for the resort and right beside nightly entertainment, one room had water pouring out of the ceiling AC vent and one room had no AC and we had to stay in that room all night.

Beach is also packed tightly with chairs and it fills up quickly early in the morning with people staking their claim. Pool is extremely small and lounge chairs are limited.

We had a great week at Catalonia Royal! Adults only is worth it for a relaxing experience. Our room was close to everything, although we had about a 5 minute walk to the beach. Great staff, very friendly! We did the Saona Island excursion, which seemed like a tourist trap to us. The food and drinks were great - our personal favorite Swahichi for dinner! The buffet food was ok. We were disappointed that there was no hot tub available for evening swims, although the pools were very nice during the day. The burger food truck on the beach was AMAZING! Must try! Overall we had a great time in La Romana!

My wife and I stayed nine nights in February 2023. The beach and water is excellent. Small artificial reef to snorkel. The food for an all inclusive is excellent. Accommodations in the Royal were excellent along with room service. Unique thing about this resort was it was a bit hard to communicate as the staff is mostly Spanish speaking and other guests were primarily Italian, French and other non-English speaking (No fault of the resort, just what it is). Evening entertainment could be enhanced. If you want some quiet, it's available. If you want some activity there are things to do.

Nicest beach we’ve been to in the Caribbean with zero seaweed! The people in the DR are awesome! Look forward to coming back to La Romana very soon..,

Beach- Best in the DR! We never had an issue finding a palapa after breakfast. The towel stand was beside the sushi bar that smelled like sewage. Food- We thoroughly enjoyed the food at the adult buffet (Monday and Friday only for dinner; daily breakfast). The pastries were fresh. Lunch at La Isla-chicken burger and potato wedges were our favorite. Dinner at Tao Cat was the best. The sampler & pork with sweet and sour. Rodeo steakhouse was a total bust. Service was very slow & pork skewers were undercooked. Cheesecake was good.Reservations were usually required for the a la carte restaurants. Drinks- Caipirinha with double Leyenda rum was our go to. Margarita & champagne were also good. Lobby bar closes at 1am! Entertainment- there was usually live music or some type of show until 11pm. Kept us entertained from our balcony most nights while we smoked cigars. Room- Very spacious and clean. Maid staff was sooo friendly. The shower is large enough for 4 people and has double shower sprayer and rain head showers. We didn't realize until the end that there are 2 maids (morning & nightly turndown) who serviced our room. We tipped both. They provide water soda, beer, peanuts, oreos. Hand soap vs bar soap. Negatives - I wish there was a late night snack bar. They have pastries during the day at the lobby bar but not nightly. When you're drinking until 1am, you need fries, chicken tenders, pizza, etc to soak up the alcohol. Room service had next to nothing after 10pm.

Poor experience!! Worst vacation ever! The good: • Weather • Transportation • Many restaurants with a variety of food • Beach access • Landscaping- lots of trees and foliage • Reception area welcoming, clean, and modern The bad: • No cold water in the morning hours between 10am-12:00pm. Absolutely none for 4 days. Would not be available while showering, turning water from bathing temp to burning hot. Unable to flush toilets or brush teeth. Water is a basic necessity for hygiene and safety. • Construction debris in our personal pool. Called front desk staff to have it cleaned 3x, but no response. Finally on 4th days was cleaned and then chemicals thrown in. Unable to use that pool for 5 days, half our rental time. Our pool also was growing algae. • Only one restaurant had warm food- Siwichi. Other restaurants had food arrive that was not even warm, mayonnaise was not kept refrigerated on a shelf, and caused one of us to get food poisoning. • Restaurant reservations would say there were no reservations available, but when showed to restaurants, most of the tables were empty. • Only a couple of the front desk spoke English, causing frustrations with getting our concerns addressed in a timely manner, ordering food/drinks, getting clarifications. Had to use our cell phones’ Translate apps. • Resort wanted us to sign a Hold Harmless agreement for the water concern. • Entertainment was focused on Spanish speaking musicians and vocalists. Some of the shows were also repeated in

The location is nice. However food is bad. The only good thing is the buffet.

Second time at this resort staying at the Royal, last was May 2019. Overall the resort met our expectations except for the restaurants. The quality of the evening dining options has dropped significantly, where most dinners were hardly edible leaving us no option but to grab something at a buffet. We are not picky eaters but flavorless, poorly prepared meals just are not exceptable. This is a very nice resort but this may have been our last visit unfortunately.

Beautiful Beach, Ocean, & Property...A lot left to be desired. The beach and the ocean were amazing, truly world class white sand and water with amazing sunsets. You had to get a chair early to ensure you had a space to enjoy for the day, but we always managed. The beach bars were relatively easy to navigate and occasionally had serves taking orders.

Staff: Some of the bar staff had moments of friendliness, but in general there were a number of forgotten requests or long delays in service when seated for a meal.

I enjoyed the cleanliness of the hotel; the staff was friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed the beach the most. The beach is the highlight of the entire Catalonia - La Romana - crystal clear water! The adults-only section is good, but once it's time for dinner/eating you will be merged with the family-friendly hotel. Personally, I didn't mind it at all though. The downside was the buffet breakfast, I would give the breakfast buffer a 6/10. The only time I'd rate the food 10/10 would be when we had dinner at Beloved.

Okay stay. Property was clean and organized. The beach was fantastic! The workers were attentive and quick. We had a swim out room which I always try to do. Swim out pool was very dirty.

We have stayed in punta cana many times and and the beach did not compare to this one, we recommend Dominicus/Bayahibe/La Romana.

Overall a good experience. We had to wait well over an hour past check-in for our room to be ready. Grounds were nice and rooms were clean. Do not expect wash cloths. We had to ask for them daily. Food was hit or miss. Breakfast buffet at Thalassa was ok / good depending on the day. Dinner at Thalassa was not for me... Siwichi, Tao-Cat and La Isla snack bar were really good. The best was the beach day BBQ they had on Wednesday. Staff was friendly. Erizon and Mariolis at the pool bar were the best!

I would rate this resort with the following stars: 5 star for personel service and kudos to Angel the golf cart Driver, David the time share Promoter, Bartenders Jessica, Gabriel and the Best one not sure of her name at the main adults only pool Mariolis? the bartender. 5 Facilities where really nice and manicured 3 stars for food in general, breakfast was the best, we tried some of the a la carte restaurants like Bloved and Toscana, in one of them they offered grouper and gave us red snaper instead without telling us, The food in general was just like banquet hall food Very lame. 3 Star for The room. We purchased an upgrade to access to the pool directly from the room was a big plus. But we had to kill more them 8 little tiny cockroaches and the bed was too hard for comfort.
