Overview
The Catalonia Royal Bavaro takes its adult-only status seriously and caters to romantic couples. Travelers can expect topless sunbathing on the beach, a la carte restaurants, and most surprisingly, a quiet and relaxed atmosphere.
Catalonia Royal Bavaro sits right on its own stretch of beach close to Punta Cana airport. Most couples who travel here are perfectly happy at the all-inclusive resort, its beach, and its sister property's amenities. For those who want a taste of local culture, a car or cab can take them to explore outside the Catalonia bubble.
The small stretch of beach reserved for Catalonia Royal is a five-minute walk from the hotel lobby and pools. A section of beach screened off by hedges is available for private events and water sports, including kayaks and catamarans, are conveniently located at the border of the Royal beaches. Aside from the marvelous beaches, the hotel also offers two pools, a small spa, and a small gym, and a piano bar in the lobby. Guests can also walk through the hotel to a nine-hole golf course. In addition, there are many more activities and amenities at the Catalonia Bavaro Beach next door.
The hotel offers proper sit-down restaurants for all three meals, plus 24-hour room service, snacks at the beach, and plenty more restaurants at Catalonia Bavaro Beach. All meals at the main restaurant, Thalassa, are included in the normal all-inclusive package.
Rooms are spacious and clearly designed for couples with two-person whirlpools near king sized beds and showers without doors. Rooms also come with stocked minibars, terraces with views but not of the beach. Upgraded Junior Suite Deluxe Rooms are larger and closer to the beach.
