Amazing hotel with the best breakfast!

The hotel is beautiful, clean, our room had view of the sea, rooms are very spacious and beds super comfortable. The gym is big with a great variety of machines. My favorite was the breakfast: AMAZING! A special thanks to our waitress, Germayonni for her excellent service, very attentive and courteous. The only issue was my daughter couldn't blow dry her hair because the hair dryer wasn't working, but aside from that I hghly recommend this amazing hotel.
Front Desk Mary is amazing!

The hotel is gorgeous, but what made my experience was the front desk receptionist Mary . There was an issue with my booking and after multiple attempts with different front desk agent and she was able to resolve it with a breeze. Thank you Mary!

If you come to the Catalonia hotel , you will never regret or go anywhere else. I am from Panama City Florida I've been at a lot of hotels this is the top three for me I would never stay anywhere else in Santo Domingo but this hotel they are amazing friendly they're really helpful. I am a business owner out of Florida and I am recommending this hotel without a question. You can ask for Ms Jessica she works at the front desk if you are from the US women like herself will guide you through and help you while you're on your vacation. 100% recommend this hotel.
