Catalonia Montego Bay: Great resort

This is a very family friendly resort and great for adults also. Grounds a very clean and well looked after. Our room was spacious and clean,and cleaning staff were very friendly and good at their job.Food was plentiful and a good variety. The beach is nice but to shallow if you like to swim,which is great for little kids to play in.

Very clean friendly resort! Staff were excellent from front desk to waiters to bar tenders to cooks to management! Our favourite staff were the activities staff of Allen, Lilly and Nuam( sorry for the spelling). Love the Fire show, Mexican show and Latin show!

Holiday Inn Ixtapa: Beautiful Ixtapa

My family and I just got back from our vacation in Ixtapa Mexico. Here is a breakdown of our thoughts on our stay: Location: What an amazing place. Every day was sunny with blue skies with no humidity. Unlike the unpredictability of the Riviera side weather wise, there was literally little to no clouds in the sky. I expected this however, given the Pacific coast tends to be like this. In addition, the culture is very present in Ixtapa--there is very little commercial tourism there. We really  [... read more]enjoyed the fact that many of our resident hotel friends were in fact native to Mexico--lots of beautiful families who were enjoying the area as much as we were. Lots of families so if you're looking for a quiet resort to go to--this one isn't it. Also, if you are expecting to go to a resort where the majority of the staff and surrounding market area shop owners speak English, it won't happen here. This wasn't a real problem for us however but it was a bit frustrating at times. Hotel: The Holiday Inn is a quaint and clean resort. There is a lot of space around the grounds and the rooms are very spacious (some of us even had a balcony). However, the hotel is very dated and the shower was problematic (sometimes the water would be scorching hot and the other times freezing with no hot--other times the pressure wasn't there). Our air conditioner literally blew up one day. However, the most important thing in my view is that it was exceptionally clean and the beds were comfortable (with no bed bugs). The area itself is beautiful. Stunning grounds, wonderful pool area right on the beach. Seriously the best pool area I've ever been to. Let's get to the food. Unfortunately, the buffet food at this resort was disappointing at best. The choices were awful and very limited (some of the items weren't even describable). You were ok at breakfast with the fruit, yogurt, fresh omelettes and hotcakes but lunch and dinner were just terrible. It took us a few days to figure out which of the three restaurants were best for lunch and dinner. What we found odd was that there was no sign of an avocado or guacamole anywhere! If you go to this resort--I highly recommend that you stay away from the Mexican fiesta night. The food was absolutely terrible. Cold and sloppy. It turns out that during the week days, the pool side restaurant was the best for lunch and dinner, in particular the dinners which were a la carte and really quite good. Good red wine too which was surprising. So if you head to this resort, I highly recommend sticking with the poolside restaurant (which is also ocean side so fabulous view!). The staff at the resort are friendly. They work hard and it shows. The pool area was so much fun. Everyone was having a blast. With a swim up bar and planned activities (you didn't have to join if you didn't want to) we just really enjoyed our time there later in the afternoons when the beach got really hot. The great thing is that the pool is right off the ocean so you always have the view and quick access. . The market area is so wonderful. There are plenty of great restaurants and shops (especially bathing suit shops!). We particularly enjoyed going to Franks (the owner is Canadian and the staff all speak English). My conclusion is that I do recommend this resort. However, it's a simpler aging resort with no bells and whistles and while everything was great, I'd have to give it a 3.5 because of the food issue and the fact that it is an aging hotel. I will return one day but the next time I won't do the all inclusive as the restaurants in the market are so much better and as far as the unlimited margaritas go--there is a super market right across the street that sells alcohol (cheap) to make your own drinks. My conclusion is that the weather, beach/pool and location are what makes this place a good place to go as it's spectacular. If you're looking for a quiet, fancy resort with excellent food and wine choices then this is not the place for you.

Holiday Inn Ixtapa: Great vacation

I found the hotel very clean, the beach was beautiful, the staff was very friendly, and the food was good too. Rooms had minimalistic decor but were always well kept. Had an amazing time and would go back.

Holiday Inn Ixtapa: An excellent vacation destination!

Holiday Inn Resort in Ixtapa had everything it promised... Well appointed rooms, great beds, large and delicious variety of foods, excellent beverages, and a very friendly, helpful staff. The natural beauty of the beach and sand was awesome. Across the street we had a good array of shops, restaurants and clubs. The price was right, and we will return. We would recommend the Tower/Ocean view.

Catalonia Montego Bay: HOLIDAY INN RESORT

We had a fabulous time with our friends and family and we had great weather. First off, I would more likely to recommend this resort more to families with small children. There was an adult section pool but it was always full. We were in building 1 which was a very nice room with a great view but very noisy at night. I found the entertainment stage is too close to the restaurant and our room. The music got very loud at dinner and until 10 or 11 p.m. We would turn up our air conditioner so  [... read more]it would block out the noise. We asked to be move towards the adult building but they said it would cost $50 more a night. We also found a problem getting a lounge chair because some people would run out at 6 am. to put towels on chairs and never sit on them. Very frustrating. The island is a very nice but again the entertainment stage with a microphone would echo over to the island. We enjoyed the snorkelling around the island.

Catalonia Montego Bay: Holiday-Inn, Montego Bay,Jamaica

Convenient location. Good service. Good and quality entertainment. Booking with agent Jack Gentile was very convenient and we got best booking experience. All has been delivered as advertised without hiccups.

Holiday Inn Ixtapa: Just right 😎

As return visitors to Ixtapa we were very pleasantly surprised by the Holiday Inn. The most outstanding feature of this resort is the staff! Without exception all were most helpful and eager to please. Special shout out to Keilen at the front desk,Adolph,Aden Carlos and Samuel,waiters and Hernando the chef who prepared a veritable feast from the fish that one of our group caught.The rooms were beautiful in the tower. We upgraded from a garden view room that was dark and had no balcony. The meal [... read more]s were well prepared. A great feature was that the snack bar at the beach had made to order food not something that sat out in the sun all day. The fish tacos were amazing. We will be back!

Catalonia Montego Bay: Great place for families.

Comfortable resort with beautiful beaches and plentiful food and drinks. Very satisfactory vacation and lots of happy beach time. The a la carte restaurants were an enjoyable change from the buffet, especially the Japanese one where they put on quite a show and allow you to get to meet some of your fellow vacationers as well.

Catalonia Montego Bay: Great value getaway

Beaches and pool can't be beat. Although you have to get up pretty early to get a decent spot. Buffet was fine although the dining area was always loud. The a la carte restaurants were great. Service was fine and the rooms were nice. Its probably better suited for families. Tons of kids and not a lot to do at night. If you want something more exciting it might not be the place for you. But if you just want a beautiful beach and an all inclusive resort, this is really good value for your dollar.

Catalonia Montego Bay: Amazing Staff!

This resort is extremely clean and the staff are friendly and very helpful. I like to walk along the beach so this was not my favourite resort for that. I'm also not that picky when it comes to the food but the buffet was not great here. Mostly I miss the fruit! There was very little and no garnish for our drinks, ie lemons and limes. We did a 3-hour catamaran excursion with snorkeling and stopping at a Margaritaville. Can't say enough good things about that excursion. It was so much fun a [... read more]nd we learned quite a bit.

Catalonia Montego Bay: Holiday Inn

Beach and grounds are very nice really enjoyed the island and the catamaran Buffet High lots of variety when buffet was closed you could always get a snack at three different locations really enjoyed the adult area and swim up bar in the anal area at the end of the beach there's a little market for locals very cheap but negotiate

Holiday Inn Resort Los Cabos: Nice resort

Hotel was spotless pools clean rooms clean almost all rooms have a view of ocean. Buffet was a little bland for Mexico and most food was just warm unless it just came from the kitchen. No cheeses and a poor bread selection consisting mostly of buns.There is defiantly no swimming in ocean and o the air canada agent said you could walk to a swimming beach in 15 to 20 minutes. I walked for a hour and a half and still didn't make it. Went whale watching and it was great saw 15 or 20 whales.

Catalonia Montego Bay: Well worth the cost

Everything you need! near the airport , great food ,amazing staff ,fabulous food . A great home base to enjoy the local attractions . Like Dunns falls and Marta Brae river . And evening trips to Margareta villa

Catalonia Montego Bay: Okay Resort

This was so post to be a 4 Star Hotel, but to be fair it is a 2 Star Hotel, it is a dated Hotel, we were surprised that they did not have an Expresso Bar. The a la cart restaurant offerd very good meals some of the Staff were not friendly until they see the Dollars.

Holiday Inn at Universal: Great stay

The holiday inn across from universal was great! The hotel staff went out of their way to be helpful always and they were always smiling. Flights were fine. But I was surprised that you have to pay for checked bags. But hey. Overall. Would probably stay there again.

Holiday Inn Resort Los Cabos: I thought it would be better

the grounds were awesome, the people were terrific, the food was ok. We were told 2 years ago that there was going to be, more choices for restaurants. If I had known there wasn't any changes I would have gone somewhere else. we love Cabo but unfortunately we wont go back to Holiday Inn. The main pool was hit and miss on warm or cold, the aduite pool was hot and the "kids pool" was freezing, so over all disappointed
