Lovely holiday in a casual atmosphere. Everyone was very friendly. So should Karibik be on holiday.
Rooms were very clean ( we have priveleged booked). Requests were as ordered taken care of. The beach section is one of the most beautiful you can see that if you are traveling from bayahibe from the Island of Saona drives. You can schnorchelmasken against a bail check-out counters and at the artificial reef fish to see. Excursions we did with Andy booked a local german just to be recommended. Kitchen was wonderful so that we the specialty restaurants not visited. read more

We have with this hotel a good choice met and would anytime again go on vacation there. The beach was really of the finest quality exactly, as well as the kitchen. Also with the entertainers we had lots of fun, if one no desire had to go through, was the topic dealt with immediately. But the ' tanzkurzse' super and in the evening mitzutanzen made simply fun. read more

We were in Karibik for the first time and felt felt really good in this hotel. The staff is
Always friendly and in a good mood, room clean, food in the various restaurants and at the buffet very tasty and varied.
The only thing, that we didn't like so much, was the division into privileged and standard, was a bit of a two classes of society.
We have privileged booked, found but also the standard rooms enough.
Otherwise we were completely satisfied and would recommend this hotel with a clear conscience.
Also both of our children (10 and 14 years) ... it has really enjoyed. read more

After about an hour from the Punta Cana International Airport one arrives into the nice hotel of the hotel catalunya. First impression was very good. Great well-kept complex with many plants. On arrival we were a few few information about the hotel given, the in my opinion however somewhat more could be.
The hotel has approximately 500 rooms, on small bungalows, each with 8 rooms spread. Really beautifully embedded in the flora the hotel.
The age, and nationality was very varied. Americans, french, italian, german, swiss, etc. Every nationality had its own armbandfarbe, which we found a scary thought, it ... didn't bother us.
Which us however dagegegen already disturbed, were the privilege guests. Not this personally, but what a hype has been made. We were already in many hotels, in which we also suite. That was the only difference to the other guests. In the catalunya have the privilege of guests not only a suite, but a private terrace, a private concierge, a private bar.
Truthfully, i think the totally exaggerated and sometimes hydrolyses sichdas hotel in 2 classes. Or will it be a suggested. It is fair to say, however, that, even without privilege, very well umsorgt was. It is just strange everywhere in fat letters' privilegded' to read. read more

The hotel lies at a quiet stretch in walking distance to the national park. Who would like snorkels should rather do, the motorboats must not close ran drive, you can see many starfish, sea urchins and smaller fish. With a bit of luck also fishing like for instance eagle rays. At the beach the national park you can spend hours strolling. The artificial 'house reef' we found rather a joke. The hotel beach is nice and quiet, it gives beside numerous sports activities (Boccia, soccer, Volleyball, basketball, table tennis, billiards.) Also a 'no entertainment area' where one always your ... peace has. Throughout the club there is wi-fi, work but very slow.
Breakfast is as always in buffet form and leaves nothing to be desired.
You can also have lunch in two restaurants (who privileges is three, more about that later), once the main restaurant with international kitchen and the italian restaurant. We have almost always in the beach restaurant food, there were fresh wood-fired pizzas, always 5-6 different kinds of pasta, and always freshly grilled fish and meat with various side dishes.
Dinner you can either in the main restaurant (there is every day another ländermotto-french, spanish mexican.) Or in one of the three speciality restaurants. (steak, mexican, italian). The specialty restaurants are very recommendable, the main restaurant especially at the weekend.
Privileges? There is the possibility an upgrade (20 American Dollar per person per day). The best squares in the main restaurant (with views and fresh air on the edge) are for privileges guests reserved. Furthermore you can at the beach so many towels as you want to get, you need no towel card. The rooms are all newly renovated, are equipped with a very nice large bathroom and are closer to the beach, as well as the restaurants. The mini bar is daily filled with beer and soft drinks. There is directly at the beach its own restaurant, which only for privileges guests is. Furthermore there is a small well-equipped internet café with free of pressure. Whether the upgrade is worthwhile everybody has to decide for themselves. We have because of the rooms with a full minibar and towel service upgraded and not regret it.
Who gladly rides was right here in any case. There are great horseback riding (no stupid tourist desk real horse riding) with beautiful horses offered. The riding school is an italian, the horses are really well maintained. Particularly the rides in naturschutzparlk at the beach are very recommendable. (circa 60 American Dollar for 2-3 hours)
The club definitely recommendable. read more

Terrific vacation with extremely high quality and perfect unit buffet, the equally selection of theme restaurants' on the wall, '.
Very nice sandy beach (is not self-evident to our surprise!). 2 resorts further toward bayahibe was the beach karstiger stone - no chance to enter! At the gran dominicus perfect.
The entertainment free zone is being respected and is generally not intrusive, but friendly. The shows are as everywhere 'lau', but consuming we in fact not really. For children sure ' usable ' ☺
Unfortunately big drawback: hot water and wasserleitungsdruck in the evening forget. Shampoo from hair to wash ... will sysiphusarbeit. The complaints will be friendly manner, but that was it already. Seems a hotelanlagenproblem to be. A great shame, because apart from that, the hotel is free heart best to recommend.
The garatis wireless internet works in the room despite cost 'privileged' not. The upgrade to 'privileged' i can recommend to everyone, the etwa 300 Euro per week not too much are. The somewhat roomier room with a real double bed and very nice extrasitzbereiche in the large buffet are an extremely valuable rounding of the vacation! read more

Really beautiful facilities! The complex is though somewhat older, however it was everywhere clean and tidy! The rooms are also already older, however for a one time vacation sufficient (one is anyway hardly in the room on).
Food and friendliness of the staff were very good.
For entertainment very much was offered! read more

The medium-sized hotel area is nestled in a very far-reaching lovingly maintained and neat garden area. The rooms are in terms of size absolutely sufficient and are equipped with mini-bar (2 bottles of water per day) hair dryer, safe and wi-fi. The guests are mostly french speaking of the other equally spanish, italian, german and a few eastern europeans. The age is relatively mixed with a tendency to two thirds over 40 is.

For this hotel it concerns an older hotel, accordingly simply are also the standard rooms designed. Also the bathroom could a renovation stand, plus is the separate toilet, but at night if possible without the light on use should be, because otherwise toggles the extremely noisy ventilation and awakened the sleeping partner inevitably. The room is safe no beauty contest, but it is functional, everything you need is available. The hotel complex is in a beautiful and very well maintained parkland, what the somewhat older room more than compensate. The entertainment team is very ambitious. The main restaurant offers something ... for everyone, so that i only once the specialty restaurant (steak house) tried and then remorseful back to the main restaurant changed. Chairs on the beach there are enough, but unfortunately very few shade places and even less umbrellas, the mostly in the very early morning hours were occupied (probably gefälligkeitsreservierung by the securities, as i noticed). read more

Recommendable is it is not, as it is not my first holiday in the dominican republic was.
If you even pitch had, had you morning no orange juice for breakfast,
Nobody from the staff had the decency you to say, or to fill!
50% of the staff are friendly, the rest of you looked at either not in the mood to work or were overtaxed with their tasks.
Lunch, if one was hungry, you had to over its wet clothes clothes dress, for in the snack bar at the beach to come. And shoes were a must!
The difference between ... privileges and standard was ernorm.
The privileges had booked, had also in the restaurant its own seat area, the guests more attention.
This privilege has one also in the standard-rooms noticed, there was nothing looked flat water.
The universe is inn!
Every nationality has another wristband (from the color).
The intertaiment did rather bored. read more

Hi there, in december 2012 we stayed for 3 weeks. The complex alone and the beach are good. I would even say the this hotel the best beach section has.
The previous review ton. The food not understand!
No variation for breakfast, the theme nights for the food every week the same and rather 2 stars for the food. For those who need it. Ok! The cocktails stretched with sweeteners,
Only highlight was the christmas buffet. Great!
The rooms, standard are very old and not recommendable! read more

We were shortly before christmas there and were just enthusiastic. Our room was always clean, as well as the entire area.
The food was varied, tasted good, there was a massive choice and there was something there for everyone. Particularly the mexican and steak house were very good.
The beach and the pool was always clean and super well-kept. Approximately 20 meters from the beach was an artificial reef designed where you great snorkeling and all kinds of fish is.
The staff were in the large and whole also always friendly and accommodating. Our only point of criticism this is ..., that you, except at the front desk, almost not with english to communicate. But most of them but very good french.
Also the sporting activities on offer were good. We found it good that the most sports directly at the beach were, as Boccia, Volleyball, table tennis.
The only what we definitely advise you not to go there would a trip to Island of Saona on the scuba dive center at the beach to book. We have, unfortunately, and it was an absolute letdown. It was advertised as a tour through the mangroovensümpfe to the virgin Iceland there should we then snorkelling then click the Island of Saona food and then with the catamaran to a place in the sea where the water chest and many starfish to be. The conclusion was not a single starfish seen, not snorkelling, 2 minutes mangroovensumpf tour, then 3,5 hours stay on soana where the salesmen on a wait and then again with the catamaran back. And whole then for 80 Dollar. Complete letdown and we can really only advise you not to go there.
Apart from that it was a succesful vacation and we can really recommend the hotel. read more

The hotel we have last-minute for a very reasonable price. It is an older area-
Ge with a very nice well-kept garden. Of nationalities about 40% french, 30% german u.30%
Russians. We had a standard room with good beds, however the bathroom urgent needed-
And. The restaurant works with its facilities very unfriendly -particularly the old rickety chairs u.
Tables. The staff there was mostly friendly, however in the morning usually overworked. The handrub
When entering is for the birds, if it wasn't all make. The food tasted good. It was diverse and mostly good seasoned. The pizzas in ... the italian restaurant at lunch were very good. At the merenguerobar there was from early until late with prompt service all kinds of drinks. The beach is half worn and needs poured. The liegenreservierer strike already at night.
Tips for the efficient staff will unfortunately far from enough given. read more
