Catalonia Resort Info needed (from another person)

Guest
Well I see other people on this board need info about the Catalonia Resort too, but I figured I would put my request in also. I did do a search by Catalonia, but not much there. I will be going to the Catalonia Resort the first week in Febuary and I am looking forward to it. I have never been to the DR before. My question's were; are there allot of english speaking staff at the resort or should I bring a translation guide like everyone seems to be saying, What was the night life like at the resort is the disco open, what was the best restuarant, Are there activities during the day and night, How long of a ride from the airport to the resort. If you have any other info, suggestions or comments about either the resort or Punta Cana itself that would be great also.

Thanks, Bill

hi Bill, went there 2 weeks in dec., really a nive resort, even if the resort is brand new(4 months old) the staff speak a little english but there is no problem to be understand, yes the disco was open but did not go. All the 5 restaurents was real great. the resort is about 20 minutes from the airport. the hotel is located about 30 minutes walking by the beach of Natura Park. I`m sure that you will love that hotel

Hi Bill; My wife and I will also be at the Catalonia resort Feb 7th through the 14th. We will leave from Philadelphia. We have heard only a few reports which all sounded pretty good. Hope we can run into you guys and have a beer or two. Enjoy your trip. Will

Hey guess what......... I am also leaveing from Philly but a few days later. What a small world. How long are you going to be there for? I can't wait, and will be looking to have several beer's. As long as I can order my drinks and food in english I will be fine. I just found this site last night and am really impressed with the info on it about the DR. I will be checking in here regularly now to see what's new. Well keep in touch and let me know if you hear anything else about the resort or anything and I will do the same. My e mail address is prodjbm@bellatlantic.net, if you want e mail me direct so we don't have to use the board for stuff not pertaining to the DR.

BILL, I WILL ALSO BE AT THE CATALONIA THE FIRST WEEK OF FEB.(4TH-11TH) STILL CAN`T GET A WHOLE LOT OF INFO ON THE PLACE BUT, MY WIFE AND I ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. WE HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THE DR BEFORE EITHER. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RIDE FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE RESORT IS ABOUT (10-15)MINS. I`M NOT SURE HOW MUCH ENGLISH IS SPOKEN AND I SPEAK MINIMAL SPANISH, SO I`M BRINGING MY POCKET TRANSLATOR,IF I`M NOT TOO DRUNK TO USE IT. THE RESORT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A LITTLE SECLUDED,BUT THERE ARE THINGS TO DO WITHIN (15-30)MINS OF THE RESORT.(MANATEE PARK,CASINO AT BAVARO AND SOME OTHER THINGS) WE WILL BE LEAVING OUT OF PHILLY. HOW ABOUT YOU? WHERE YOU COMING FROM AND WHAT DATES WILL YOU BE AT THE RESORT? MAYBE WE CAN ALL HAVE A BEER TOGETHER? WELL MAYBE MORE THAN ONE!!!!!

Re: BILL, WHERE IN NEW JERSEY ???

Hey how are you, Still no e mail for you yet? We are from Cape May County, just outside Sea Isle City. It is me and my girlfriend going down to the DR. It's getting closer, I can't wait. A few years ago we met a couple in the bahamas from depford also, actually it was about 4 or 5 years ago. Small, small world.

See ya, Bill
