The Caribbean is awaiting your arrival so that you can experience an unforgettable vacation on the south coast of the Dominican Republic at the all-inclusive Catalonia Bayahibe. The beaches and vegetation are stunning and the infinite horizons will leave you breathless. Located in one of the most beautiful areas in the country, specifically on Bayahibe's white sand beach, the scenery will amaze you. This all-inclusive resort is located just 25 minutes from La Romana Airport and 62 miles from Punta Cana International Airport. 


The Catalonia Bayahibe has been designed for you to enjoy your stay with various sports and leisure activities plus an array of delicious food and cocktails to keep you satiated. Beautiful tropical gardens, which you can view from all of the rooms, surround the Caribbean villas, which form the hotel. All of the rooms are spacious, welcoming, and feature soft decor in tropical tones. 


The attractive theme restaurants allow you to enjoy a selection of Spanish avant-garde tapas. Try exquisite Italian a la carte dishes. Discover genuine Caribbean cuisine and enjoy the specialties of the steak house in American surroundings. Moreover, the complex includes five bars where you can enjoy all types of Caribbean cocktails. 


For the more active guests, a daily program of activities in several languages (in the pool and on the beach) is available. Some of the activities include aerobics, volleyball, water gymnastics, tennis, soccer, petanque, ping-pong, and archery. If you prefer to play in the water, try non-motorized aquatic sports (snorkeling not included) and test scuba diving in the pool. If you love to dance the night away and play after dark, experience the Discotheque and nighttime entertainment with shows every night in the theater. The Children's club (3 to 12 years) and Junior Club (13 to 17 years) are also available to keep the kids and teens entertained.

    Far Below Expectations – Our Worst Experience in Bayahibe

    Our experience was far below expectations. On our first day, a member of staff asked us to leave a 5-star review. I did, but after our stay I had to edit it. I have previously stayed at Viva Palace and Sunscape and, out of the three, Catalonia has been by far my worst experience in Bayahibe. We found the staff unfriendly, constantly expecting tips, and we felt a clear difference in how we were treated as Portuguese guests compared with guests of other nationalities. More seriously, I was sexually harassed in a very insulting manner by a member of staff in the canoe rental area on the beach. Completely unacceptable. The division between regular and VIP guests is excessive. Even inside restaurants, certain tables and dishes are VIP-only, and the difference in staff treatment is obvious. Even the jacuzzi in the central pool area is VIP-only. At other Bayahibe resorts, facilities like this are available to everyone; some even include a water park for all guests. The three themed restaurants have very limited choices and we found the food genuinely poor. Surprisingly, the buffet was considerably better. Entertainment is also very poor: practically no activities at the pool or beach, no music on the beach and almost nothing to do at night. The “White Party” was basically a staff member playing music from a computer. There are also no animals around the resort, something that gave other resorts we visited much more atmosphere. The room is okay, but nothing special, and immediately after arriving they tried to sell us an upgrade for around €40 per person per night. Throughout the stay, we constantly felt that we had to pay extra for things that other resorts normally include. Most disappointing of all, I convinced another couple to come with us so they could experience the great service and hospitality we had previously experienced in the Dominican Republic. Unfortunately, this experience was the complete opposite. Positives: the pool and the buffet. But they do not make up for everything else. I would not return.

    Mamma Mia

    very good restaurant with great food, one of the greatest so far, as the third time in Dominican Republic. Renardo is also a great waiter.

    Beautiful stay

    I had an absolutely amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautiful and so comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Everyone made me feel right at home. The drinks were so good, and the views and scenery were absolutely breathtaking. Waking up to such beautiful surroundings made the whole experience even more special. I truly enjoyed every moment of my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable vacation in the Dominican Republic. I can’t wait to come back! 🌴🍹
