Catalonia Gran Dominicus Sports


	Catalonia Gran Dominicus Sports Gym Catalonia Gran Dominicus Sports starts with the gym. Even if you start with the best intentions and have lost weight before the vacation, when going to an all-inclusive there is always a tendency to eat and drink too much!!! I always have a look at the gym before booking and whilst it isn`t a deal breaker, it is useful to know that there is somewhere in which to burn off the calories I work from the basis that I will not expect too much from an all-inclusive gym, particularly when the resort carries 3 stars. This particular gym was what I would describe as `tolerable`. The equipment was fairly old and there a smallish selection of aerobic machines. The one and only treadmill is pictured above and there were perhaps 5 cycling machines. The gym was open from 8-12 noon and then closed until re-opening from 4-8pm. I found the gap from 12-4pm a bit annoying as it gave the opportunity to get out of the mid-day Caribbean sun. The gym was normally quiet. The most that I saw in there were about 3 people at one time. Catalonia Gran Dominicus Sports Tennis There were 2 tennis courts and they supplied reasonable quality tennis rackets. You are supposed to book a court although we often turned up at 5pm and had no problem getting a court. Archery There was an archery range next to the gym. This looked to be quite good fun although we didn`t try it. Soccer [football] Next to the archery range there is a 5 a-side soccer pitch although it didn`t seem to be in good condition and we didn`t see it used during our stay. As the Catalonia attracts many Italian visitors to the Bayahibe area, you would expect some soccer and this mainly takes place on the beach pitch! The below video gives some idea of the sports facilities. NB:after starting the movie,the `HQ` button will appear in the right hand corner.
