Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Catalonia Punta Cana from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently appreciate the well-maintained grounds with abundant greenery and the spacious, clean junior suites, though some found the television's English channel selection limited. The steakhouse stands out, with many highlighting the delicious filet mignon. Moreover, the beach is beautiful, and there are usually plenty of sunbeds available by the pool, so guests don't have to wake up early to reserve them.

the beach was close to the room, handy. the grounds i guess were beautiful with birds just walking around.

the staff wasnt attentive and seemed to hardly care about us guests. cleaning often missed, and meal times starts too late, if you travel with a baby. it's not my problem, though.
