I switched from the Hodelpa to the Catalonia Bavaro!

Well after reading a lot of negative feedback about the Hodelpa, I switched to the Catalonia Bavaro. Any Feedback on that property? Sure hope I did the right thing!!!

Should have switched to Bavaro Palace.

Catalonia is a nice resort but it is located in the worst part of PC.
you better switch to Barcelo, Melia, Riu, or Flamenco

I've been in Catalonia last December, and I liked it. Of course their beach (not the beach, the sea) is not the best of the area, but their swimming pool is really good...
If you want to see some photos, not only from Catalonia, also from other resorts in the area, you can check my web page (photos section). This is the direct link to photos section:

Don´t doubt to email me if you need more info.

We were at Catalonia last year and were not impressed! A lot of the negative stuff written about Hodelpa would aply to the Catalonia. The food and the service were not up to par - the rooms and the poll were great, but the beach left much to be desired for swimming. All depends on what you are looking for.

There is a lot of seed weed in that strecht of beach and also Catalonia is located in a deserted area. nothing around. if you are looking for night life, you need to spend 40dlls in taxi to go to any club. besides that, this is one of the best resorts in PC. they have junior suite rooms with jacussi, 8 a la carte restaurants, the best pool in PC, etc.
If you are looking just to relax, this is the place. if you are looking for nightlife, forget it.
