Hotel La Catalina - Dominican Republic

A picturesque view of the ocean and countryside, luxurious tropical gardens, fine-cuisine, first-class personalized services - these are the criteria which distinguish Hotel La Catalina from the rest.

Built in 1988 by a French-Canadian couple from Quebec, Hotel La Catalina was envisioned as a charming alternative to the countryšs all-inclusive resorts.That original vision has remained intact, and Hotel La Catalina offers a unique, warm and personal experience. La Catalina has become an integral part of the community. Tim Moller and family purchased the hotel in 2007, and have continued a tradition of service with educational mentoring programs and health-care initiatives.

Located on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic, near the village of Cabrera, it is 80 minutes from the Puerto Plata airport and only 10 minutes from Playa Grande beach and its world class 18-hole championship golf course.

A few minutes from the hotel are four stunning soft-sand beaches; Playa Grande, Playa Caleton, Cabo Frances and La Entrada. Scuba-diving, snorkeling, deep sea fishing, boat excursions at Laguna Gri-Gri, horseback riding, hiking, and tours to a local bird colony can all be arranged at the hotel.

The superb golf course of Playa Grande is also only a few minutes away. With 12 of its 18 holes on the cliffs overlooking the ocean, it offers many spectacular views. This Robert Trent Jones designed course is often compared to Pebble Beach in California. Playa Grande is suitable for serious or casual golfers alike.
