Catalonia Bavaro Resort

This year should be celebrated Christmas once under palm trees. As a resort we chose the Catalonia Bavaro ( CB) , which is almost in a disappointment ended. In hindsight, I must say that, unlike my past experience here at HolidayCheck the poor reviews regarding the CB not overly were ... Unfortunately. Bad things to write to not only at the beginning the Laudable things. The complex was in a beautiful landscaped garden. Every day you'll see loads of gardeners umherwuseln also with attention to detail, the green areas maintain. From our point of view really great. The beach is also great. Apart from the seaweed, it didn't bother really and was always taken away, was about this spacious beach Caribbean feeling programd. The beach section turn left out of the hotel, After checking out beyond the bay, with its hotels in our opinion was not so nice. Also we find worth mentioning that the service staff was very efficient, nice and friendly. While it is more than clear that they are completely unausgebildete service staff was, but they tried hard, also unless you tipped. The contrary to the totally unacceptable condition of the units and their dealings with complaints. So we moved after arrival and nice welcome at the reception (in German! ) Our room in "block 7" (Villa 7 ). After I had to the front door with the shoulder auframmen, got stuck after a few inches on our floor firm we entered the room. Next to the flair of the 1980s it smelled musty and stale stench. After much deliberation ventilation was being horrified by the room. On the curtains to the balcony had mold. From the ceiling of the bathroom leaked water, probably taken by under the ugly and 20 year old Plastikpaneelen hidden air conditioning. The toilet did not flush, the lever and everything was totally worn out at all and just scrap. The comfortable king size mattress hanging out in the wobbly and einsturzgefährdetem bed. hanging over the bed a fan. I would have this turned on, we could have stayed in the Caribbean lovely snowfall. The cleanliness was poor, the mirror stumpf, hair everywhere, dirty doors. The picture of the bed hanging off and could not be pushed together the doors of the occupants were stuck ... Bottom line from our point of view the audacity to spend this room at all. As we aren't fussy people and wanted to actually only at the beach, we decided to keep the room, where the flush repaired. We wanted to no hassle with the management, sun, beach and sea. finally repaired after complaint was the toilet leaks and we had arranged with the rest of us. But again the next day was the toilet broken, as there is just so old and scrap. A call to the front desk revealed: It is now as there are no one fish is ... Yes! I speak English very well, I repeat this three times, then across just hung up on us. was going's to the front desk and it has totally fassungslosen, of course, concierge tidy gerappelt. OK, we get a new room. Looked at this was, with the same Score as the first room. Unbelievable! As we still had to want, no stress, I decided on a so-called "privileged" room aufzubuchen. The reception staff were nice new renovated room pictures, good mood and finally holiday will pay. Said and done ... Then arrive at the "privileged". Ha, about how on the pictures, but the same room as the other. OK, flat screen TV and DVD player. OK, no smell, the bed was massive and the curtains new. So we decided to give it to keep going and finally holiday. But one thing is for certain: This "privileged" rooms have the modicum of renovation of a normal room. By no means that justifies a surcharge, and the pictures on the front desk is just complete rip-off. OK, free internet access in the privileged Office and separate breakfast room but that is a joke! To the pictures they told me later: Yes the pictures are from the Honeymoon-Suite ... But this was not for everyone. My arguments even agreed to the guys at the front desk were rather subdued at times, but they did have nothing to complain about it.. The "privileged manager" it was a little bit smooth and lone the topic. I'll add my review a few photos. Mind you, we are only the ugly. Palm trees, sand and sea but photos are in HC enough. I described the process later the tour guide from Schauinsland. Poor you saw into one, but then I quieted down. It was and is not our intention now for the lawyer to race or anything like that. The lady then relax a bit ... Clear. I would like to report only what was going on. She said, now as from the point of view of the sponsors could accomodate. I offered me a suggestion worth ... Nothing. I think, an invitation to a trip would have fit but niente. From our point of view The was weak. The food was maximum cafeteria level, with the exception of the breakfast. This was completely alright and like a resort. The other meals every day different but schmecktenuns always the same. The cooking stations, the furniture, everything was easy to old. Table cloths were dirty, birds at the buffet, at the bar were sticky you were stuck. The white wine had to leave my partner two x, because it would appear spoiled and not enjoyable. The Italian restaurant in 30 min're rushed through everything ... An employee, classy it didn't have anything to do. But none of us got sick, the hygiene was probably fit. The pool is urban Freibadcharakter. Also, the floor to old painted the sunbathing area was at night. The paint did then pulling apart at day again. The beach chairs were cheap plastic, you can hardly konstruktionsbedingt on my stomach. Same's actually on the beach. Our conclusion: the grounds lives from their location on the beach. 20 years ago was the CB may have been a good adress, today it was maximum 3 stars. For half of the money you can have with the boys to party go again but not to the Christmas holiday with the partner. Under the experienced impressions not recommendable. We wonder about the sometimes rave reviews. We miss aware some time before we came here have written. However the above impressions are sustainable. We hope to return some readers to help. But everyone has its own perspective. And we are confident that our itself not 'stuffy' vibe.
