Catalonia Royal Bavaro

in Bavaro , Dominican Rep - Punta Cana T rating: 4

Exclusively for adults
Suites with exclusive pools available
Honeymoons

With a private beach, a first-class pool scene and a great range of restaurants, this adult-exclusive hotel covers all bases.

The only thing separating the Catalonia Royal Bavaro from an ice-white stretch of sand is a forest of palm trees, so the whole complex has a really Crusoe-esque vibe. The hotel’s grounds are just as good-looking as the beach. Neatly-trimmed lawns provide plenty of places to take it easy, while tropical flowers add splashes of colour. At the heart of it all you’ll find a Thalassa pool. Thatched parasols line the water’s edge and a there’s a pool bar serving up drinks and light bites.

On the accommodation front, the hotel’s standard rooms are really spacious. They’re dressed in shades of cream and terracotta, and kitted out with chunky colonial-style fittings. Outside, meanwhile, you get a balcony complete with a linen hammock.

As for the food, this place takes its All Inclusive status seriously. Alongside the main buffet restaurants, there are 4 à la cartes to choose from in the Bavaro area of the complex, and a snack bar.

Your guide to Bavaro, Dominican Rep - Punta Cana

"Fringed by ivory sands and swaying palms, Bavaro showcases the best of the Dominican Republic's spectacular coastline."

Set on the eastern tip of the island, the journey there takes you through winding country roads bordered by sugarcane fields and mangrove thickets. With all the hotels set on the silvery sand, it’s Bavaro Beach that takes centre stage here. The moment you get an eyeful of that amazing 15-mile-long white sand beach and brilliant blue sea you’ll know you’ve found a little corner of holiday heaven. This is the place to come if you’re looking to cocoon yourself in pin-drop peace and quiet. It’s simple, it’s unspoilt and it’s so relaxing you’ll never want to leave. Days here revolve mostly around sunbathing on that spectacular beach, and cooling off with a range of watersports. Come sundown, it’s a relatively low key affair kept mainly to the hotels. But if you are venturing out and about, you can spot the handful of popular hangouts a mile off. In essence, though, Bavaro, is a place to sit back, feel the warmth of the Caribbean sun and enjoy a generous dose of the famous Dominican ‘R & R’ - rum and relaxation.
