Decent property but the streets beside and behind are busy with motorcycles throughout all hours. Also there are many flies around the area, but overall a nice stay for the price. Also the food was very good!

Very beautiful hotel, with very nice design and pool area with bar. The beach and the area not the best. But for some go to excursion or need to go stay a Romana for work it is a great option. Very good food

Playa Catalina Hotel really surprised me in the best way. It gives you that Punta Cana vibe but in a more local, peaceful area. The beach is just a 5‑minute walk, and having a pool available 24/7 was perfect. The rooms look like little villas — super cute and cozy. What made the stay unforgettable was the staff. I traveled with my elderly dad, and they treated him with so much care. They helped him with his bags, supported him on the stairs, and always checked in on us. Even the security team was friendly and helpful. Everyone there makes you feel like family. I’m so grateful for this experience and will surely make this my go-to hotel in the future. For travelers they only accept cash, so be prepared or call ahead. They have an ATM and can accommodate. They also serve breakfast too, would recommend if you like to have a light breakfast. If not there’s plenty of local restaurants nearby.

Check in was difficult. Staff was not over friendly. We only needed a bed to sleep in and a shower before heading to the airport in the morning. There was no water to brush our teeth, flush the toilet or shower. It was a safe place to stay for the night though - wouldn’t stay again but it was good enough :)

Owners very nice/kind/friendly. Hotel is cute/small with pool. They are fixing little things here and there to make sure appearance is to par. Room met our expectation, breakfast was included, provided a huge variety from eggs, sandwich, fresh fruit, yogurt, coffee, juice and cake, i would say they over do it, no complaints! 😉 Parking and wifi.

The property was okay - it is on a main road so it can get quite noisy. The only negative we had was when we checked in. We were told that the machines were not working and we would have to pay in cash. We were told that the owner was looking to sell and she was only wanting cash. We did not enough in US dollars so the management wanted basically the equivalent in Euros. It was late and there was no point in haggling as there were no other places with any room because we were taking a cruise from La Romana port. We had to give in but it was, in my opinion, extortion. We were not given the room unless we paid up front and in full. Held hostage before our trip even began. Not a nice way to start a vacation. The room was ok. Basic but clean. The staff was friendly.
