"Animation team at Catalonia Royal La Romana"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5

I want to write a review about the great animation team of this resort, Armendi, Fernando, Sequetel and Beba get guests engaged in activities during the day and night, they are an extraordinary team of people that work very hard to make our stay pleasant and fun. There are also singers almost every night prior to a show of dancers or this year they had a neon show along with acrobats and a robot on stilts that was fantastic then a silent dance that was a lot of fun. In general there are activities at night and for those that have learned the different dances at the beach during the day, they get to practice what they learned at night.

"Wouldn’t recommend if you have toddlers"
TripAdvisor user rating 3 out of 5
Reviewed February 09, 2026 NEW
This was the first and last time staying at this resort. I am a AP holder and decided to try a different Disney Resort than my usual go to. Big mistake! The rooms were tiny. Far from the main entrance. Only one bus at the main entrance. The skyliner takes you to Epcot and Hollywood studios. But if you travel with a toddler and take the Skyliner, you have to take it back to the resort. We got stuck in the front looking for the bus to the resort and security told us we had to walk back all the way to the end of Epcot to catch the Skyliner to the resort. We ended up taking an Uber because with a cranky 2 year old walking all the way back was not an option. These things are told to you when you stay there.

"Mold- unacceptable"
TripAdvisor user rating 2 out of 5
Reviewed January 20, 2026 NEW
MOLD!!!! My family felt horrible when staying here. We were not in the room much, but as soon as we came in each night, we all started getting itchy and felt "off". As soon as we left the hotel for the next day, we started feeling better. It wasn't until the night before leaving that I discovered all of the black mold in our room. It was heavy in the toilet tank and in the shower grout. The room had an off odor as well. This is a health hazard and is completely unacceptable considering the costs for these trips. I would avoid staying here.
