Poor experience!! Worst vacation ever! The good: • Weather • Transportation • Many restaurants with a variety of food • Beach access • Landscaping- lots of trees and foliage • Reception area welcoming, clean, and modern The bad: • No cold water in the morning hours between 10am-12:00pm. Absolutely none for 4 days. Would not be available while showering, turning water from bathing temp to burning hot. Unable to flush toilets or brush teeth. Water is a basic necessity for hygiene and safety. • Construction debris in our personal pool. Called front desk staff to have it cleaned 3x, but no response. Finally on 4th days was cleaned and then chemicals thrown in. Unable to use that pool for 5 days, half our rental time. Our pool also was growing algae. • Only one restaurant had warm food- Siwichi. Other restaurants had food arrive that was not even warm, mayonnaise was not kept refrigerated on a shelf, and caused one of us to get food poisoning. • Restaurant reservations would say there were no reservations available, but when showed to restaurants, most of the tables were empty. • Only a couple of the front desk spoke English, causing frustrations with getting our concerns addressed in a timely manner, ordering food/drinks, getting clarifications. Had to use our cell phones’ Translate apps. • Resort wanted us to sign a Hold Harmless agreement for the water concern. • Entertainment was focused on Spanish speaking musicians and vocalists. Some of the shows were also repeated in

when we arrived the bathroom was not very clean, the walls of the room were cracked and the paint was inflated, they sent someone to clean it but the cleaning was not good anyway, the location is perfect and the beach is beautiful but to the hotel staff It lacks professionalism and keeping it clean better, the food was good, but the restaurant where we had breakfast the floor was very slippery, anyone can have an accident, at night they cleaned it well and it no longer slipped but the next morning it was Still, the food could be better but it's not bad either.

Dear Alexis, First at all let me thank you for staying with us and for your review. We regret to see that your stay was not precisely as expected and we apologize for the inconveniences encountered. We are sorry to read the situation in your room, our Housekeeper is watching your comment and will check that her team is following the correct cleaning procedures in the room. Regarding the beach, we regret that during your stay the sargasso environmental phenomenon has not allowed you to enjoy our beaches, no doubt our staff makes a great effort to try to keep our beach clean, however there are days when the wind and tide do not allow us to maintain, it as we would like. Regarding the food offer, we appreciate your comments about your experience with food, our Executive Chef, will take appropriate measures to eliminate these areas of opportunity. e hope that even with this experience, you can grant us the honor of hosting you again. Sincerely, Social Media Catalonia Royal La Romana

It’s a new property just opened couple years ago. I like contemporary style and a lot of plants, palms, flowers, birds singing in the morning... It’s a very nice, peaceful place for a vacation

We were pretty disappointed with our stay. The hotel, rooms and beach were beautiful but the stay was far from friendly. There was a huge language barrier so majority of our meals were wrong or forgotten. When we reminded them we got eye rolls. The food wasn’t very good. We didn’t feel like the people wanted to “serve” us as we expected. The cleaning people didn’t restock our room with wash cloths or lotion. We asked for it and it took 2 days to get them.
