HOLIDAY TO CATALONIA BAVARO RESORT, PUNTA CANA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

A little video of our holiday at the Catalonia Bavaro All Inclusive Resort, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic in September 2022.
We went with TUI and stayed in a Jnr Privileged Suite - which was beautiful. Our room was in Privileged Block/Villa 2 - which is right next to the pool and beach, as you will see.
There are beautiful sunrises in the mornings, if you can get up early enough. We took footage on our first morning, and our last - as we were on British time around then.
The section of the beach with Bali beds, that is shown in the video, is reserved for Privileged Guests. There is a Privileged Beach Bar just behind this area - from which there is beach waitress drinks service. The ladies were all lovely (Shoutout to Zairy and Elizabeth).
The seaweed during Hurricane season can pile up overnight - but the staff try to clear it as quickly as they can in the mornings. We loved the tranquility of the privileged beach area over the noisy pool area.
The sea is calm and lovely and warm. If you like snorkelling, there are some lovely little fish to see.
There are two buffet areas. The bigger one is at the main entrance to the hotel, but as we were down at the other end of the resort, we went to the smaller one next to the beach. Watch out for the little birds in here. They pinch the food. (I never ate from certain areas of the buffet 😂)
There was a decent selection of foods, but I ate my favourite Mashed Plantain and Sausage most days.
The ‘A La Carte’ Restaurants were nice. Our favourites were the Steakhouse and the Japanese Restaurants.
There was a fab little coffee shop on site (Included In All Inclusive), called Aromas, based near the Pharmacy and Gift Shop area. It’s generally quiet, they do some lovely coffees and cakes, and the air conditioning inside was amazing.
We never went to any evening entertainment… not really our thing.
Overall we had an amazing time - a wonderful, relaxing holiday - and met some lovely people.
Miss it already!❤️🏝🍹

Great video. Please tell me this. I have knee issues and going up and down stairs is a problem with me. Does this resort have facilities in place (elevators, ramps, golf carts etc) to help me get everywhere I might want to go? (ie: from room to restaurants, beach, pool etc..) Thanks so much, Steve S

[@mikethomas4598]

[@frankxd9232]

[@Berriesncream68]

[@thamaesta]

How was the beach and water (waves)?

[@christalpeterson6246]

What building or villa you stay in?

[@christianargueta6942]

Nice video. Did you stay in the privileged suite? And do you think it’s worth upgrading to privileged ?

[@mikethomas4598]

We stayed last year and had great time and we're going back April 21st I would say it's worth it espcially if you get the swim up pool.

[@Drforeverok]

No because technically u can walk around the area anyway

[@GA-fz2wt]
