"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."
