The area is pretty big so to walk to the beach might take some minutes depending on which building are you staying. Many Europeans frequent this resort so you will see a lot of them around. There will be some smoking in the area as you know many of them like it, but since the wind can be strong in the area you won’t even feel it.

The staff service is excellent, they work very hard to delight the customers, even sometimes the language can be a bit troublesome for them but they do their best to satisfy the needs of the guests. They are always serving with a smile on their faces and for that they deserve a nice tip.


Rooms

You can see there are two types of suites at the Royal Catalonia Bavaro Punta Cana: the junior and the royal junior. Here 3 adults can accommodate in a room with: private swimming pool, Jacuzzi, 30 minutes of free massage per person per stay, 24 hr room service, bathrobe, slippers, and king beds plus the equipment in the junior suites.

The junior suites have the usual stuff like satellite TV, ceiling fans, 1 king bed or 2 twins beds, telephone, air conditioner, and more. This rooms have a nice space and are certainly comfortable; they are the kind you will find in the normal area of the Royal Catalonia Bavaro Punta Cana resort.

 
Pool and Beach

There are 2 great pools which are an essential part of the Royal Catalonia Bavaro Punta Cana resort, after all what is a resort without a nice looking pool. An immense and extraordinary pool is located in the central part of this resort, perfectly crafted fountains, incredibly well made Jacuzzis with a refreshing touch of tiny islands all around the pool to give this place an aura of a true Caribbean vacation.

The swim up bar is present in this pool which makes it even better (especially for me). Many water sports are played here like water polo and water volleyball. The pool is big enough to have a nice crowd in there and be comfy at the same time. Children can have fun here at the Royal Catalonia Bavaro Punta Cana too, there is a separate pool for them here where they can jump and swim all they want.

As I said before here you will see 1 km of exquisite snow white sand bathed with turquoise waters, sheltered in an enclosed bay mixed with a coral reef nearby ensure the water activities done here to be a success. To get a decent spot in the beach, I must tell you that waking up pretty early is the only way to go. When I say early I mean like dawn, you get a towel (preferable one that belongs to you not a hotel one) and put it over the chair of your choice to save it. Once there you are pretty much settled to enjoy a nice day at the beach.


Food

The Royal Catalonia Bavaro Punta Cana resort got a pretty nice menu in their restaurants. The Gran Caribe restaurant is the buffet for excellence in this place, they have international cuisine which is more like a summary of foods of different countries. They have very nice a la carte restaurants: Thalassa (Mediterranean restaurant), Mikado (Japanese restaurant), Mariachi (Mexican restaurant), and Rodeo Steak HouseLa Palapa restaurant (serves continental breakfast and barbeque at lunch) and  La Toscana (Italian restaurant).

For the buffet is preferably to be there early, to have the fresh and hot food. If you come close to the time when they are closing you will have to deal with the food cold and not much variety; so remember always be early. For breakfast and lunch you will most likely choose between the buffet and the Palapa restaurant. Both have great choice of food but like usual it comes up to how early you go. The a la carte restaurants can only be used at dinner time and with a reservation. The dressing as you can imagine is long pants for men and the rest of the semi formal clothes. The toughest part is the reservation which must be done as soon you get to the resort to reduce conflicts and good tipping will take you far.

 

Entertainment

There are plenty of activities that can be done here: water sports, night entertainment, excursions, golf, and more land sports. Among the daylight activities is pedal boats, snorkeling gear, sailboats, and windsurfing.  Scuba diving and snorkeling lessons will have a sub charge. The motorized sports like jet ski and banana boat will also involve an extra fee. The Royal Catalonia Bavaro Punta Cana resort is full of fun!

Every night after 10 pm there will be a show where performers will do musical acts, imitations, etc. The casino in this resort will open after 7 pm for all those who like Vegas style action. The disco is one of the top choices for people who want to enjoy a wild time in Punta Cana. I mentioned this before but I will say it again, you don't have to be bored in your room at night, here all types of people can have their fun time; honeymooners, romantic couples, and singles. Having fun is definitely a priority for anyone staying at the Royal Catalonia Bavaro Punta Cana!

Excursions to Saona island, Isla Catalina, and Manati park (Note: please check the daytime activities section for more information) are also another way to pass your vacation here even when they can be a little bit pricy. To visit Saona island you have to pay 18 US dollars per person and 25 US dollars aprox. per person to Manati park . If you thought there was nothing to do in land you are very wrong. There is a golf course (with an extra fee of course), gym, computers with high speed connection, basketball court, tennis court, volleyball, dancing lessons, and Spanish lessons.
