I went for 7 days July 13-19th 2008. The Triano resturant is the buffet held nighly and was the best food....The minute we booked our Mexican and Steak House thats when we got mildly sick....the food at El Patio, and Triano is sooo much better. The rooms were clean try to stay close to the beach rooms 336-344. Being Italian... more

Okay Hotel, not that I would go there again. Service is ok, if you are Italian. Otherwise, everyone seems unfriendly. All signs and entertainment are in Italian, no translation provided. Rooms are decent. If you happen to get a suite you will be much much happier with your choice. Food is not bad, breakfast could be better. Iberostar is a... more

I just wanted to add my two cents here. I booked this hotel last minute on line, after reading reviews of the various hotels/locations/etc as found on Trip Advisor. Pretty much everything that is written on this website is true. I found the reviews quite useful so a great resource when booking without a travel agent. Gorgeous property. Well manicured... more

We just came back from the Catalonia Gran Dominicus and both our expectations where exceeded. For the price we paid we where extremely satisfied with this resort. I will go into some further details of the resorts: Grounds: Very well maintained and properly groomed. Always have someone raking leaves and beach picking up garbage and maintaining the grounds. Accommodation: Definitely... more

Just returned and would like add a few quick notes. We were two couples (age 40-60) We booked thru a local travel agent and paid $664 plus $335 taxes for a total of $999 each. This includes the $20.00 Dominican airport exit tax which is not always included. We flew Montreal direct to La Romana which is only 20 mins... more

We were at Catalonia Gran Dominicus from March 15-March 22, 2008. We flew Air Transat from Montreal into La Romana with Nolitours. The resort is only about twenty minutes by bus from the airport and this is one of the reasons we chose this location. Beach – fantastic; great sand, waves for jumping and swimming; you can walk out quite... more

We just returned from this resort and loved it! We booked through Selloffvacations.com using Transat holidays. We had fairly high expectations because of the good reviews and we were not disappointed at all. Postives: -the beach was GORGEOUS with plenty of chairs and shaded areas; -the Italian buffet (so yummy - loved the antipasto and pasta variety - and of... more
