Search hotels in La Romana Beaches, Dominican Republic

I stayed with my nephew at Catalonia Bayahibe for 6 nights between 31st Jan - 6th Feb. The hotel is located in Bayahibe - La Romana, one of the most beautiful areas of DR and probably the best beach: Caribbean crystal clear water and clean smooth light brown/white coloured sand ( NO sargassum at all here! ). The hotel is located about 45 min to 1 hour drive (depending on traffic) by car or taxi from Punta Cana airport). We were welcomed at the reception with a cold refreshing drink and the check-in process was smooth and informative! After that we were guided to our Privileged Deluxe Room with amazing view of the gardens. The room clean and modern with all basic amenities. They welcome you with a bottle of DR rum as a present and french macarons! All the drinks inside the fridge are free and are replaced daily if consumed. There is also water bottles for teeth brushing since the tap water should be avoided. The room is cleaned quite often and the towels are changed daily. The pool, the beach and the restaurant areas are all beautiful and well maintained. The gardens are amazing and perfectly preserved. The sunbeds are separated according to room type/hotel section but most of the other facilities are used by all guests equally. For some restaurants (dinner) you need to book a day or a couple of days ahead but for the main buffet (breakfast-lunch-dinner) you are free to enjoy with no booking. Everything is all inclusive: food, sallads, snacks, desserts, fruits, drinks, coffee, water etc. There is lots of food variety of good quality and taste. There are also bars/cafes to grab something to eat or drink. There is also a place serving crepes of your choice close to the beach. Water and ice provided by the hotel (even when not bottled) is safe to drink. Beach towels you get everyday from the personal close to the pool. The thing that people wake up early to secure their sunbeds by leaving their towels is true.

This was my 5th visit at this hotel, the first being in 2002, when the resort had just opened, and my last one 10 years ago. The rooms are now renovated, as well as the bathrooms, which were updated to the current standards. The entire area has developed quite a bit, there are now shops nearby and places where you can spend time. When I was there last, there was nothing around the hotel. Now it's a small village with inner roads and dozens of small shops and small hotels. The port is now 5 minutes away just east of the resort, so it is easy to leave and arrive for/from excursions. The best restaurant in the resort is still the Gheisha (japanese). The kids loved the stay and can't wait to get back :)

The staff was very friendly and helpful, they were trying their best to help. We arrived late but they still offered us a fresh, tasty dinner and freshly made pineapple juice. The facilities and rooms aren't new and shiny, but they are kept very clean - we won't see any dust or dirt in this place. You can go to the rooftop restaurant and take a look at see from there.

Very attentive, cheerful and kind staff. The meals were excellent with diverse options all the time, basically we never felt hungry. The pools and the beach are really beautiful, and the organized daily programs are fun to attend. In addition, I really recommend the trip to Isla Saona, it's just an amazing place to see.

The place is like a very nice resort. The apartments are spacious and comfortable. The pool area is amazing and calm. This is a perfect space for relaxing. I really enjoy sharing with the beautiful cats around. I invite other guests to share with them and give them some food ;).

I like the way they treat me and my wife. We also like the meals, the cleaning places, the employees, the Dominican cultura, the beauty of our room, the yards, the restaurants and the different services they offer at Bahia Principe.

Enrique, his wife and all the staff were extremely kind people, they were always there for anything we needed. Also, the breakfast was awesome, tasty and the amount of food for a breakfast was stunning.

Very friendly staff! The apartment is big and clean! The location is close to the beach.we saw the fireworks in the balcony on the last day of the yest! Very nice experience to stay there!

We had a beautiful stay at Tamindo. The apartment was great, well-located, quiet. The swimming -pool is very good. Our host answered all our questions and was here for us.
