I had a mixed experience at this resort. While the beach gazebo for the wedding ceremony was beautiful and the service from the beach staff was exceptional, the planning for the wedding was a nightmare with poor communication and hidden costs. The room we stayed in had several issues including sewage smells, which really dampened our stay. However, the resort staff were warm and welcoming, making the vacation enjoyable despite its flaws.

Our stay at the Catalonia Bavaro was quite memorable, with lots to enjoy but also some areas for improvement. The adults-only section provided a serene atmosphere, and we couldn't get enough of the clean pools and beautiful grounds. However, the dining service could be hit or miss, and some facilities seemed in need of maintenance. Overall, it was a great getaway, but there were aspects that could use some attention.
