Catalonia Bavaro Resort: Going back again.

Upgraded to Privilege and rooms are closer to beach but farther from main buffet and Lobby. Not the resort if u don't like walking. Walked 6-8000 steps most days just getting around. Found this to be an advantage though. Food was mostly excellent with usual buffet problems of sometimes not hot as we would have liked it to be. Lots of variety. Grounds are very well kept, lots of birds and fish in ponds. Occasional bug bite. Room comfortable. Several English language TV channels. Huge p [... read more]ool with shallow entry and deeper section. Going back again with Grandson and his parents as we are now sure they will like it. Short bus ride from airport.

Catalonia Riviera Maya: Wouldn't go back

There are better options. They weren't accommodating and options weren't great. You have to do reservations for dinner and it was always booked. Would never go back. I've been at many other resorts and the food option and service has been much better

Catalonia Playa Maroma: Very good deal. Smaller resort with beautiful beach, good food.

Rooms and public areas were clean, well taken care of. The coatis own the place but they're harmless. However, look out for the monkeys. Food was usually v. good in the a la carte restaurants but could be improved at buffet. The service at the buffet could be better as well. English is not as widely spoken as other resorts we've been to, but not a problem. Tipping didn't seem to be expected as many other resorts. No need to "claim" a spot early by the pool or beach with towel like some other [... read more]s, lots available. We upgraded to Privileged; it was worth it given the proximity of the Bloved restaurant to the beach and the food and service. We've been there three times and would definitely go back again.

Catalonia Riviera Maya: Wonderful Resort

We had a wonderful holiday here. The food was very good and plentiful the resort is spotless, they are very attentive to the guests, we enjoyed all the night shows and pool entertainment crew are amazing. Beach area is rocky to get in but noticed many people in snorkleing and swimming.Our room was so comfortable,Stayed on Riviera side . Great time Catalina .

Catalonia Yucatan: Resort was alright

Hotel definitely needs up grades. Patio door would not open without force and toilet broke. Shower was not working when we arrived. One positive thing is when we called service desk they had someone there within 10 min to repair things. Food was pretty much the same for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Bars close to early. Only place to get drinks in the evening is in sports bar. Only 2 nights out of 7 had activities in the evening. Would of rather stayed next door.

Catalonia Royal Tulum: Catalonia

The only issue I had was that the security didn’t not enforce guests smoking. It’s not fair to have to ask security to get people to not smoke around others. The staff were great, entertainment was amazing and food was good. The pool and beach were fabulous

Catalonia Royal Tulum: Nice resort

This adult only resort is great for couples, not so much for groups. They have a policy that they cant seat more than 6 people together. Our group was 9 and they split us up all the time. We couldn't understand and after a lo g conversation with Joseph (concierge by the pool) we finally were able to be together on our last 2 days. Within our group we had a few concerns and issues in the rooms which took a few days to sort out. Things that could have been dealt with immediately and weren't. I wil [... read more]l say, the food was very good! All the a la cartes and the buffet. Entertainment is late in the evenings. Most people are heading to bed. Pool bar was fantastic. The guys were great. Both the Tequila Bar and the Margarita Bar were good as well. The Rauxca show was good. Food great. The beach was probably the best part. Absolutely ?

Catalonia Montego Bay: Great family resort

This is a great family hotel for many reasons such as the kids club, low sea water (literally about feet knee deep), large pool with kids fountain area and lots of space to roam and sit. The food was really good with lots of options for meat and veggie lovers. And the bonus its just mins or less from the airport. The gym has new equipment. You can get Wi-Fi on most of the grounds. Be advised the hotel is under some renovations but that did not not interfere with the vacation (for now). Also the [... read more]y do have a vacation membership presentation onsite, and the entertain could be improved. There are lots of places to sit, but if your looking for common tv area that too is hit and miss. We only went to the buffet and not the restaurants to I can't comment on that part, but ALL the staff were exceptional!! We would definitely go back, love to see it when its fully renovated. We do suggest that they should have a more welcoming price for expatriates or locals (e.g. day packages that expires 2 am??? why would you want a guest to leave at that time!) and travel membership that you can commit to after you leave (who wants to be on vacation and commit to $15K-20K future travel on the spot). Overall the hotel is worth a visit, its very friendly, clean, convenient and slower paced.

Catalonia Royal Tulum: Good

It’s fair the people were great food was good service and maintenance. Very poor had no water in the room. Maintenance was very, very slow to attend to the situation did not like the fact there was no buffet at night every day you were forced to book à la cards every night

Catalonia Grand Costa Mujeres: Nice but spa isn’t accommodating for pregnant women

Food: buffet is typical resort standard, a bit salty but decent. Steakhouse, Italian and BLoved were good. Teppanyaki was too salty to eat. Room: family swim up - very clean and spacious. Sturdiness of toilet was questionable (floating) but maintenance was quick to resolve. Huge downfall was that half the swim up rooms are completely shaded and ours unfortunately was one of them so water was cold and not comfortable to use. Beach: beautiful Entertainment: team was great, shows were ok Ki [... read more]ds: lots of young kids. Nice kiddy pool and kid play place but negative is the park is only open during play place hours IF there’s a zero chance of rain so we weren’t able to use it. Service: absolutely amazing. Every single person from waitstaff to housekeepers, to maintenance workers, front desk- everyone was fantastic Main con: extremely disappointed in lack of accommodation for pregnant women. Couldn’t get a massage bc they didn’t have a pillow. Couldn’t do the hydro therapy - not bc of possible risk to pregnancy due to high temperatures, but bc the floors were wet and I might slip. Grip slippers could have been provided to resolve this but the only option was to “sit on the side and watch” my husband lol Additional: mosquitoes were the worst I have ever experienced in my life. Obviously out of their control. They fumigated one or two days after we arrived and we were able to enjoy 2 days mosquito free before they started to come back. Overall: nice resort if you’re looking for great beach, fantastic service , cleanliness and ok w it being very quiet and laid back especially great for little babies. (I have 3 & 1yr olds and would have appreciated more stuff for them to do but at the same time I appreciated how quiet it was - definitely not a party resort). Not worth the extra money for swim up if it’s not directly in the sun and privilege isnt worth it bc the only perk was one restaurant, an hour of hydrotherapy that you can’t use if you’re pregnant and beach chairs that aren’t much different from the other ones.

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Catalonia Royal Bavaro

Gorgeous, clean, friendly, fun and relaxing. My husband and I vacationed here for our 10th wedding anniversary, and it was even more beautiful in person that what the pictures showed online. We had an amazing experience, and would gladly stay there again.

Catalonia Playa Maroma: Tarascio family

Well the room fir privilege was ok not many amenities for members was expecting more. The closet doors are stiff and hard to open. The room needs renovating tiles in shower fall8ng apart. The shower was small and expecting a bigger one. More lighting in room. The light fixtures on the was and front hall way were not working. This last visit was our 15th time returning so VIP Member should of been granted.

Catalonia Royal Tulum: Fantastic vacation

We loved our vacation. The food, room and staff were amazing. This was my second visit to the Catalonia Royal Tulum and it was as great as the first time. We upgraded to Privilege because of Beloved and other perks and it did not disappoint. I will booking this resort again very soon.

Catalonia Royal Tulum: Amazing Eco Resort

We were very happy with this resort. We especially liked the size. We felt the resort was exceptionally clean. The staff are very friendly and professional. We liked that the resort was eco friendly. The food was good and they provided Gluten Free options.

Catalonia Royal Tulum: Great vacation

Excelent resort, clean, nice people, we had a great time, I would come again. Thanks to everyone who made our stay great, Angeles from the buffet thank you! I would recomand this resort a lot of fun for young people!

Catalonia Bavaro Resort: Three star hotel not four

Rooms are very outdated, this hotel is focused on their privileged guests, regular rooms are awful. The room we stayed in was missing hairdryer, the fridge was filthy, ceiling was leaking. The room was not ready for guests, linens were dirty and it took 3 calls to front desk for housekeeping to come and change the bed sheets.

Catalonia Royal Tulum: Catalonia Royal Tulum

Grounds were exactly as we remembered them over 15 years ago, beautiful Service was good, best in the dining areas Entertainment service catered mostly to the younger crowd Disappointed they replaced the Spanish restaurant with an Asian one but overall was good Overall we had a very relaxing time and would definitely go back in the future

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Catalonia Royal Bavaro

Beautiful Clean Average to above for food, but 3/4 of us became sick (1st time - we have been about 8 times) Good swim-up bar party pool Awesome quiet pool (Infinity), however, to look like a true infinity pool, the garden and sign need to be removed so that the pool looks like it goes into the ocean Great view of the beach while having breakfast at Be Loved (peanut butter toast is good, and so is the avocado toast) The privilege section is great with beds and an awesome waiter named Marco [... read more]s, who is very attentive The beach is not great as the water is murky and has seaweed, walk to the family area for a better swim (prefer the beach at Riu or Bahia, but prefer Catalonia resort itself) Like the small size of the resort (adult only), as you can walk anywhere - no need to take a trolley, unlike Bahia and Riu If you want more restaurants and parties, you can venture over to the family side Great atmosphere and drinks at the piano bar, plus a light-up robot costume performance one night I love sitting at the Thalassia restaurant after dinner with drinks, watching the poolside shows (circus acrobatics, Dominican music, karaoke, singing...). Beautiful lobby - great reception Great concierge for a la carte reservations Good porters Quick service to unlock the safe when an issue arises Good maid service, but missing face cloths at times, and the shower floor is not always washed (sand from the beach) Best meal was at Tao Cat (thai food) near the beach 2nd best meal at Rodeo Steak House

Catalonia Royal La Romana: Great vacation

We had great time from beginning to end. One annoying thing was over 1 hour wait in the van to be transported to the hotel. But on the way to the airport everything went smoothly. Hotel is amazing, more than expected, and everything to our taste. We loved beach, restaurants, hotel layout, our room , drinks , service… I would like to give one suggestion, there is huge rush every morning for spots in the shade , since beach in not huge , but it’s deep . We never had chance to get spot under pa [... read more]lapa , we didn’t want to get up at 6,7 am and participate in the hunt ! The worst part is that some people that left their towels on the loungers don’t show up all day… Not really sure if hotel staff can do anything about this , but maybe they can offer regular beach umbrellas to us that don’t save spots . I’ve noticed separate areas for “travellers club “ members, Most of the time I haven’t seen more than few spots used, why they can’t adjust it according to guests number and give more space to regular guests? I hope these minor things are fixable, since everything else is just perfect. I am looking forward coming again, with few friends and family members

Catalonia Playa Maroma: Wonderful Staff

Just returned from a week at the Catalonia Playa Maroma. My friend and I had never been to this resort and wanted to try it since we know it's on a beautiful beach. The sargussum was bad but we still managed to get in the water. The food was really good at all the restaurants and buffet. Big shout out to the amazing staff...Adrian, Claudia, Gabriella, Daniel, and Matuselan..always ready to assist. My friend uses a cane and has difficulty walking long distances so we weren't able to walk [... read more] up to the lobby/buffet everyday so we ate at the a la carts. It was unfortunate that on the day we left there was no service available to pick us and our luggage up at our room before 7am.
