Catalonia Bavaro Resort: Good Resort

The grounds were well kept and beautiful. The meals at the buffet were very good with many, many choices. The entertainment at the theater was exceptional and very professional. The meals at the Italian, Spanish and Steak House were first class. The maid service left a bit to be desired--the maid would take the dirty towels but did not leave as many clean ones as she removed--however the room was always cleaned very well. The room itself needed to be refurbished---the bathroom counter was in  [... read more]bad shape and needs replacement---we arrived very late on Feb. 8, 2026 and there was water leaking from the light fixture directly above the toilet so that when a person sat on the toilet the water dripped right on them--this was reported in the morning and did not happen again---however when the shower was used water dripped from the ceiling in the entrance. Overall we enjoyed our time at this resort.

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Nice resort

The grounds were very well maintained. Food was good but inconsistent also the menu on the app in some restaurants was completely different than the restaurant menu. Biggest complaint was having to get up before 7am in order to get a chair at the pools. People would leave towels for as long as 6hours and never use them.

Catalonia Yucatan: Catalonia Yucatan Resort

Grounds are well maintained, rooms and resort Very clean. Beware of the buffets! The food isn't warm, so many in our group 5/11 became ill with vomiting, we tried to reheat, eat fresh but the food isn't warm cold and harbours bacteria. Beach is not ideal for walking, many stones and not much sand, swimming is in a lagoon, not the ocean. Walks to the marina were great. I would not recommend this resort.

Catalonia Yucatan: Well kept grounds and pools

Rooms were okay, we don't spend to much time in them. Buffet fkod was repetitive, never hot, just luke warm. If I rated this resort out of 5, the buffet would lower it to a 2. A La Cartes, even thu we sere booked for 2 weeks we were only able to book to restaurants. Meals in both were a nice break from warm/cold meals in the buffets. All but two staff that I met were exceptional

Catalonia Riviera Maya: Very nice resort

Everything about this resort was great. The room was perfect and the grounds are beautiful. Staff was pleasant and efficient. The food wasn’t the best. I would go back again. The fact that this was all part of a gated community made it feel very safe

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Nice location

We experienced a 2 hour check in (2am before we got a room) - our friends that travelled with us and booked through Tripcentral were told they had received "no reservation" and experienced almost 4 hours before they were placed in a room "for the night" then were moved to another room, later the next day, we all lost the Saturday to enjoy our vacation, our television did not work, after reporting this twice daily, someone finally showed up to look at it, 3 days later only to say he would be b [... read more]ack " in a few minutes with a new one" - never saw them or a new TV at all.

Catalonia Yucatan: Great family resort

We went here on our first family vacation with my six-year-old and my 11 year-old and my husband. in terms of the room, they were kept clean and tidy daily but Definately dated it didn’t bother us at all. There was many swimming areas as the two hotels are attached. This ocean was super safe. There was a little lagoon with lots of fish and sea creatures to look at with snorkels and use kayaks and the other side of the ocean was blocked off so it’s super safe from any under toes. We really enjoye [... read more]d the breakfast and the lunches at the buffet however, the dinners were just subpar. I do suggest trying to make reservations right away for the à la carte. I did that night and I could only get two in at the end of our trip the Mexican and the Italian. My husband says that the Mexican was a three out of 10 and had small portions but he is a bigger guy so for the kids and I I found it fine. Porto Ventura is just a walk away. It’s a cute little area with many restaurants. Dolphins manatees and shops. A short drive to Playa Del Carmen, which is always a great visit. But a very safe, clean and fun hotel resorts, especially with the family all in all. I would Rate it 8/10

Catalonia Royal Tulum: Paradise Found!

Beautiful, laid back adults only experience, with fantastic food - and a stunning beach. Super friendly staff and gorgeous grounds in the jungle, animated by lively Coati (and other mammals, marsupials and even an occasional monkey!) Go “Priveledged” for access to the fantastic B’Loved Restaurant at the beach

Catalonia Yucatan: Great location

Just spent two weeks there. Rooms were a good size and the beds were comfortable. There is great pool space and seemed like there were enough loungers at the pool and the water. The attention to food allergies was top notch. They ask at every meal if there are allergies and they took my gf around to show her what was available for her. They even cooked for her separately. It’s a short walk into town. The shows next door were great. They could use a lounge bar in the evening. We had a 5 al La car [... read more]te max in two weeks. We had 3 to choose from. It is a chill resort. Livelier next door, which we had access to. Beach is rocky but there is a way in that is sandy. Good snorkeling in front of the resort.

Catalonia Grand Costa Mujeres: 3rd time to the Catalonia

Once again, the Catalonia did not disappoint. Firstly, the staff is #1. friendly and helpful, the cleaning staff does an impeccable job with very high standards. The buffet, ala cart, coffee shop are all excellent. Yoga in the morning on the terrace, another added bonus! Flying from Hamilton was a cakewalk.

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Ok resort

Clean rooms and resort. Food at ala cartes was good but not very hot. Easy to get reservations. Only 1 ATM at resort and its on the family side, it was not working more than half the time I was there. Beach had lots of natural shade with all the palm trees. Staff were friendly and helpful. The one really negative is when you arrive you are hit up with a "free breakfast" at their exclusive club, which is an invitation to a sales pitch to join their club. Not high pressure sales but it did take a  [... read more]bit of sterness for them to accept a no. Had a problem with my shower door not closing and causing lots of water on bathroom floor, told front desk twice about it and no one came to even look at it in the 10 days I was there

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: GOOD RESORT FOR ADULTS

Grounds are beautiful and well looked after, beach is awesome. All Staff at front desk, bars, restaurants very friendly and helpful. Guest services felt like you were bothering them, made it difficult to deal with. They told us to pick 4 restaurants in the beginning and come back to pick the rest later which meant we could not get into anything for the last few days. I suggest booking all the restaurants the first day. Our first room was musty and dirty; we had it changed the next morning  [... read more]with no problem and the room was good. We spoke to others that had the same thing. It looks like there has been water damage in the rooms. If you have the privileged room and are told you have premium liquor (wrong) it is only available at one bar which was not one, we went to not near pools or beach. Not worth the extra money. Do not bother going into Punta Cana it is not a small city centre but a Mall with a grocery store.

Catalonia Playa Maroma: Wonderful week

Catalonia playa maroma in the Mayan. Great week. 8/10! We upgraded to premium level and were very pleased. Location: short bus from cancun airport, smaller resort, long walk from lobby/buffet to beach and other restaurants but very scenic. Beach: amazing! Loads of chair for all. Lots of shade or sun. We had a lot of seagrass but they worked endlessly to keep it cleaned up. Service on beach not so great but always good to keep moving to get yourself a beverage. No shortage of towels daily. Pool w [... read more]as clean and looked like lots of fun but we did only the beach. Food: ate every breakfast and lunch in the beloved. Amazing service and lovely selection of delicious food. Buffet just typical. We ate dinner at Japanese, steak, Mexican and all were good. Not as great of service as beloved. Didn’t do wok which is in Japanese but separate area and sit at grill. Crepe bar excellent. Pizza good. Drinks as usual. Some better liquor. Rooms were fine. Friends had unpleasant odour and requested some assistance so were promptly moved to another room. Other friends had water leakage which was repaired promptly. Alll in all a great week and would definitely recommend. loved the monkeys!

Catalonia Yucatan: Great time

I went with my grandson to this resort, it is nice enough, cosy enough and very comfortable. The staff of course, are great. We were disappointed with the beach though. It had a lot of limestone and rocks and stones so it made it unable to really swim. You could walk out to your waist and float on top. The amount of fish that you were able to see was wonderful.

Catalonia Grand Costa Mujeres: Great well rounded resort!

Had a wonderful time with my friends. Rooms were spacious and comfy. Food was tasty and lots of variety. Only cons would be the difficulty with dinner reservations and the amount of seaweed in the ocean. But the beach was powdery soft! Staff were also attentive and friendly!

Catalonia Grand Costa Mujeres: Would never go to this chain resort again

From the moment we stepped through the front doors we were disappointed. We were not shown to our room and left to navigate the resort on our own. Booking restaurant reservations was a nightmare and quickly discovered you needed to purchase wine in order to get in. Quite the scheme if you ask me. We paid for an all inclusive trip but needed to pay additionally in order to get in to the other dining options. The resort was understaffed and not helpful.

Catalonia Grand Costa Mujeres: Birthday celebration

This resort is very clean and smoothly run. Everyone was very friendly and you're not accosted by Wildlife or sales representatives. We had an issue with our room not being near an elevator which was a must for us. They were able to accommodate us quickly with another room. There is no smoking allowed anywhere on the resort but the gate to enter the resort is not far from the lobby which is where you can go to smoke. The food was very good with a large variety of options. The nightly shows were  [... read more]very entertaining.
