    Best Hospitality

    My goodness!! Catalonia Bavaro has been one of our best experiences ever. The hospitality by the people there is top-notch. Would like to give a shot out to Janser, an outstanding server who always made us feel welcomed; Abimael, an amazing butler who took care of all our needs; Francely, our concierge who kept our itinerary on point; Jose Miguel, our Italian waiter who made our experience magical; Carolyn and Mariel, our waitresses who always welcomed us with a smile; and lastly our housekeeper (for room 106) who worked so hard to maintain our room clean at all times. We are coming back and would recommend to anyone that this is the spot to vacation at with zero worries.
