My husband and I are going to be at the Catalonia for New Years for 11 days. We are booked on the Bavaro side. Do you think the Royal side is worth it? What (besides the newer rooms) do you get for the extra money? We stayed at the Barcelo in Cancun in the spring and it had an upgraded "Palace" side. We were able to use all the Palace restaurants for $15 each whenever we wanted so it worked out to be a much less expensive option than paying for the upgrade. Does the Catalonia "Royal" have different restaurants? Can you pay a fee to use them?
Has anyone stayed in the DR over New Years? Do the resorts have big events and/or fireworks to celebrate?
Thanks for any advice you can give me on this resort.
We have stayed at Dreams Punta Cana, Barcelo Bavaro,Grand Paradise, Ocean Blue and others in Juan Dolio and Puerto Plata if anyone has questions.
