Can make additional improvement in buffet meals.Beautifull areas to take pictures.Best service for serving meals.Beach sands can be maintain some more to comfortable walk.Room service is very good.For currency exchange,need inside facility,since the resort little far from downtown.Overall,the resort is good for vacation.First day welcome and showing the room and how to access not satisfied.Receiption staff not properly organised.Cut off time to pickup and drop need to change.

We travelled as a family group of 11 from 3 provinces in Canada and had a great time. The food was good and the beach was kept pretty clear of sargassum. I use a mobility walker and found it easy to get everywhere including the beach. There were a few areas that left room for improvement. It would be better if there was more than one spot to get beach towels and also they need more towels because they seemed to run out frequently. An app to book a la cartes would have been a better way to go. The system they have made it difficult to get bookings. And lastly, we didn't like that there weren't doors between the living area, bedroom and bathroom. There was no privacy to get changed after showering. Ok if you are travelling as a couple but not ideal if you are travelling with children or friends.

Our second visit to the Catalonia was even better than our first. The food is great, the room was large and beutiful with a gteat view and the staff were amazing. We ate at the taco stand every lunch. Had avocado toast for breakfast every morning.

Absolutely gorgeous suite we had! The entire resort is immaculate and service is wonderful. We enjoyed the amazing food, beach with plenty of beach chairs, excellent layout for access to everything just steps away. It was very relaxing, white sand and great weather.

This was our fourth visit to the Catalonia, we can’t find better quality or value. The food is high-quality, smoked salmon in the morning, 5th avenue outdoor lunch, great à la cart restaurants for dinner. A beautiful beach with very little sargasm, plenty of chairs, plenty of palm trees. large beautiful room in building three, overlooking the pool. A beautiful terrace to enjoy a good book and a drink. A wonderful entertainment staff offering yoga, Pilates, spinning at 10am. Salsa on the beach at 12 noon. Thank you Lucerno, Alen, Fabrizio. Nightly shows in the theater, to wrap up a beautiful day. A wonderful café that also offers Mexican chocolate, a real treat. Most importantly, a very happy staff, which sets the tone for the entire resort.

The resort itself was nice and clean however, if you have any food allergies beware. My husband has a food allergy to mushrooms and even after informing both the hostess and server in 2 different restaurants on the resort he was still given dishes that contained mushrooms. We reported this to guest services who did nothing other than apologize. I told them that this was very serious and a report should be filed as this could potentially be a life threatening mistake but they didn't seem too concerned. So beware if you are going to this resort and have food allergies.

We liked the tropical grounds, the different pools, the relatively compact layout of the resort, the food and service at buffet and restaurants. Privileged access to Bloved restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner was really enjoyable. The long beach was good for walks. We noticed very little cigarette smoke within the resort, only a little at the beach, which was good. The resort does not provide detailed descriptions of room types, in particular the location of each category of room. We only learned upon checking in that all Privileged Suites are located on the ground floor on the North side of building 1 and a few in building 4, none of which are close to the Privileged area of beach or Pure Chill bar, which doesn't make sense. Although initially given a room on level 0 in building 1, the farthest from the area we wanted, that room did have a separate living area, i.e. a Privileged Suite as described on their website. We agreed to move the next day to a room on level 1, building 3, facing the pool. We liked the location but the room was one large room with no separate living area. We were told this was also a Privileged Suite which contradicted what we were told at check-in. Overall, we liked this resort very much and would likely return.

This resort is very nice. It is clean and easy to get around. The rooms are very spacious. The staff are great. For the most part the food was very good and the pools are really well kept. Really good value for your money. The biggest complaint I would have is that the resort allows guests to book the restaurants 7 days in advance. For this reason we were not able to experience all restaurants. The buffet was lovely but they have difficulty seating everyone and this often results in a long line up to get in. The room was really nice but had some maintenance issues. Door handle was loose, toilet continued running, shower water temp was not regulated…fluctuated between extreme and cold. At the beach, the only shaded loungers are a good distance from the shore and go quickly. You need to be up early to get these seats. All other beach loungers have no shade but are easier to get.

This hotel is quite modern and kept very clean. The weather was not the greatest, so we did not spend as much time in pool or beach as we'd like. The staff was friendly, though there was definitely a language barrier, especially the staff who served at poolside. Service was great though and the food was spectacular! I would definitely return but found it was a little overpriced.

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.

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!

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. I would never return to this resort nor would I recommend it to anyone.

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 very entertaining.

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 Kids: 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.

everything was very clean beautiful grounds The service was excellent and the beach spectacular. This was my third stay at Grand Catalonia. Drinks were great and restaurants were clean and not much waiting time for meals.

The resort is beautiful. The rooms are big and nice. The beach is great. The pools are good. However, the food could have been better. At times it was very bland and the only restaurant I really enjoyed was the Italian restaurant.

I have been to the RIU in Bahamas and Aruba, the Catalonia surpasses them both. The food is superior, the service is friendly, courteous, and excellent. The cleanliness of the grounds, your room, your balcony is by far the best I have experience at any resort. This is our second time we have stayed at the Catalonia.

We just came back from spending a week at the Catalonia in Costa Mujeres. Overall, our stay was great, super relaxing. The property is beautiful and well taken care of. The resort is a beautiful blend of modern architecture and lush landscape. We did book the privileged suite which gave us a couple of parks the first being you’re on the top floor with a very large balcony, including a shower and tons of seating. The shower is huge with double showerheads at each end of it. The room was spacious and clean and well stocked every day. With booking the privileged suite you get access to the beloved restaurant that is only for those guests. The there was good. The menus are not huge, but there are always options to pick from. The rest of the à la carte restaurants in the resort or good I wouldn’t say fantastic. The Teppanyki table was our favourite dinner we had at the resort. The buffet was always good with quite a bit of variety. We ate all of our breakfast there and our lunches there as there were just more options for me. My biggest complaint of the entire trip would be the lack of gluten-free options that were either not clearly marked or nonexistent, especially when it came to desserts not a single pastry cookie or any sweet was available gluten-free. The only desserts were ice cream and sorbet’s and at the Beloved restaurant, I was able to get a delicious Crème brûlée. They did have a gluten-free bread available that was actually quite good but things definitely need to be better marked. If you are full celiac, I feel like you would have difficulties. That being said, I didn’t starve. But I have had better options at other all inclusives. The pools are some of the cleanest I have seen at an all-inclusive resort. I usually never swim in them, but went in several times, the beach is more of our thing. The beach is beautiful, white sand, and not too much seaweed, and it kept pretty clean by the machine that comes by. As far as the water goes, it was a little rough for my liking but it was beautiful and you could walk forever in either direction as the beach is long. We enjoyed the beach more on our excursion to Isla Mujeres. Getting chairs on the beach was not too difficult, but we did have a privileged area with our booking that is roped off. I keep in mind the resort was not at full capacity. I feel like it would be more difficult if the resort was fully booked. The pool area was definitely busier and most loungers were taken up early in the morning. There’s lots of bar options down at the beach plus they serve drinks right to your lounger as well, which is always great. Check in and check out was probably one of the quickest and smoothest we’ve ever experienced at an all inclusive resort. And final note would be the staff, they work super hard and we’re extremely kind in all aspects. Always going the extra mile for anything you ask for. Although tipping is never required we always do at all inclusives. These people work extremely hard long days and the tips are very much appreciated.

The beach was very nice but not a lot of shade. The week we were there it was very windy and we couldn’t really go in the ocean because of the waves. Rooms were suites and very nice. Service was good and food was good as well. There were lots of families so I would not recommend for a couples trip.

Everything at this resort was great!! The staff, the beach, the pools, the service, the rooms, the entertainment, the spas, the gym, the food etc! It is very family friendly! We loved all of it! The only negative thing is the timeshare sales tactics that they use! The lady that approached us said it was a welcoming breakfast she was giving us at one of their posh restaurants and a free massage at the spa. Even though we insisted we were not interested in hearing about a timeshare presentation, she assured us, it was not. When we sat down with the next person she brought us to, it was exactly that, a timeshare pitch. I feel they wasted our 1.5 hours and we feel deceived. If someone says "no" it's 'no"... stop pressuring. We will know better next time. Also, everything is payable in USD at the resort which is very expensive based on the fact we are Canadian. There should be a Canadian option as well.

Guests reserving beach chairs each morning saving up to 12 chairs at a time, found it hard to find any after 9:00 am. Lots for exclusive guests. Only could book specialty restaurants 2 days in advance. Couldn’t get anything booked except for 10:00 pm unless you booked 12:01 am…never managed to get a good reservation in 2 weeks. Food in buffet relatively good although could have been warmer. Most things just warm, and vegetables usually not cooked enough.,couldn’t get hard liquor in buffet, just wine soft drinks. Rooms very spacious and comfortable..all room staff excellent and English speaking. In fact all hotel staff great and very accommodating..front desk not as much !! Resort washrooms hardly visible and not near the beach area. Great many children and small babies. Pool nice normally pretty quiet, but family’s pool very near. Happy noisy fun pool was just that….very noisy.

We went back to this resort Feb 2025 after our stay there Feb 2024. We enjoyed it so much. Wonderful staff. Excellent food. Nicest room we've ever had. No bites on my ankles at the beach. Strongly recommend this resort.

Beautiful resort. Beach is excellent. Food and drinks were excellent. Service all over the resort was excellent. Really enjoyed the lattes at the coffee shop each morning. The resort has a little bit of everything. Had a great, relaxing stay.

This is a great resort. Staff is amazing. The resort is very well maintained. And the rooms are very spacious. There seemed to be alot of young children. It was not easy to book the ala carts. And the buffet food was not very warm.

Imagine waiting 45 minutes in the morning everyday for breakfast. After the wait each day we would be asked for room number, allergies (all this can be done one time) and then wait for some more time for a server to come and take you to an empty table. Never had this experience in Mexico or the Carribean at any of the resorts. Buffet food is very ordinary and the same food was available everyday, sometimes recycled during lunch or dinner. Not a single supervisor or manager was available in the buffet restaurant to accomodate or understand the customers food requirements. Despite informing the reception, no proper action was taken or feedback from a manager was given to us.

The grounds of the resort were well laid out and tended to, with lots of lovely outdoor seating areas just to sit and relax in the evening by the water features. The layout of the Superior Suites are extremely well-planned. I especially enjoyed the fact that the resort has its own water filtration system and provides safe drinking water. There was ample selection in food services with different ethnicities to choose from and every I ate was delicious, including the buffet. Overall, I would highly recommend this resort to friends and families with children.

We had three previous stays in Playa Mujeres and this was our first stay at the Catalonia - by far the best resort. Tremendous food options, great staff and service. The resort is beautifully laid out and the beach is perfect for long walks. We will be back.

We were really impressed with the quality of the food, drinks and the service. We will definitely come back to this resort. We had the swim out suite and it was wonderful. The staff were really great and we were impressed with the Spa, gym, night entertainment shows.

The hotel is beautiful. Really modern and wows you on first impression. After a few days you see this place isn't kept clean. Especially bathrooms. They also didn't do a great job cleaning rooms. Lunch is great. Lots of options. Dinner is okay. The Mexican restaurant was terrible for both lunch and dinner. Buffet was always the same. Enjoyed Italian and Grill restaurants Beach is wonderful. Would prefer waiter service. Rooms are huge and had a massive terrace which we enjoyed as there was nothing to do in the evenings. They have a big street that's gorgeous which would be perfect for bands and entertainment, instead it becomes a playground for kids at night. It certainly could have been worse. There are just a lot of things they can improve on. We needed a vacation in the sun, we booked last minute and took what was available. It's not like we suffered, it's just that this place could be a lot better. I wouldn't go back unless I knew improvements have been made.

I have been to the RUI in Paradis Island, the Catalonia surpassed all expectations. The layout allows you to move around with easy, and not feeling corralled. Food in restaurant and buffet is high quality. Rooms are spacious well maintained and clean

Overall this resort was nice. Clean, lots of food options and friendly staff. Coffee bar is awesome and so many places to sit and chat! We went in the beginning of March and the pools were cool in the mornings but warmed up a bit in the afternoon. Beach is gorgeous! If you are looking for night life/ entertainment this resort isn’t for you. This is why we chose it lol When checking out , get your agents number. Our bus was late picking us up, we were just about to order a taxi and then it arrived. Front desk and Lobby staff had no idea what was happening and were not even aware we were supposed to be picked up.

This resort exceeded my expectations! Resort is very new and I love the decors. There are many food choices and all the food tasted amazing! Best food I had on any resorts. Beach and ocean is nice but could use more shade. Overall fantastic resort and definitely recommend this to anyone.

This is a top notch hotel. I would recommend anyone visiting Cancun to reserve in Catalonia Grand Cost. The room service, the food, the reception, the housekeeping, the bell boys are all amazing and you have lots of restaurants that can match your taste and so many activities during the day and night.

The food could have been better, especially the Mexican. Also the beach furniture could be upgraded to more beds and loungers with shade and someone watching to make sure only privileged people are actually in the privileged section. We saw people with blue bracelets. My wife and I shared a beach lounger because there were blue bracelet people taking up some chairs. Also not a fan when I pay for an upgrade and then there’s another that consists of a membership.

Our vacation went very great. We were happy to visit this wonderful place. Amazing resort with friendly stuff,delicious food,entertainments and beautiful beach.We love the place and definitely will come again ?

Rooms - we stayed in the grand family swim up, and it was amazing! Perfect for a family. Food - BLoved was the best option, so I definitely recommend getting a Privilege category room. The food was generally fine. Nothing to write home about, but lots of options and everything was good. Service - generally good! Beach - a few rough and windy days, and then a little seaweed as a result, but totally swimmable 6/7 days we were there. Entertainment - I’m not here for it, but if I were, I would have been disappointed. Very few activities, even for kids. It’s a little boring. I wish they’d lean into the family vibe and have more fun activities.

Everything was first class. Staff were especially helpful and pleasant. Buffet was amazing with a variety of items that changed from day to day. Beach was very nice and safe for children. Could use more shade on the beach though. Some umbrellas or more canvasses strung among palms.

Room:The room was very spacious; Loved the walk in closet. The rain shower was amazing. Grounds:Well kept- hardly ever saw cups and so forth laying around Beach: Immaculate Beach; no seaweed;staff was always checking to ensure our cups were always filled. Buffet: Many options to choose from ; tried the buffet lunch on the last day and it was amazingggg Restaurants: Food was just average at the restaurants Overall..highly recommend and would definitely visit again!!!!]

The resort is beautiful! It’s fairly new hotel and room was very nice. We had an amazing time. Service is very good, staff is super friendly. Food was also very good. Lots of selection and multiple restaurants to choose from. Beach was also beautiful!

I have been to this resort last Feb 2022 and it was recovering from COVID. It was an okay experience. However I decided to go again with my family and we had a great time. Food, staff, entertainment and cleanliness of the resort was all 5/5. Will definitely go again!

We completely loved our stay at Catalonia. Everything was great. A few of our requests for bed linens and a new iron were not responded to on time but I would say that was minor when considering the whole resort, the service and the quality we received. Beach was clean and grounds were immaculate and the staff were always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this resort.

Beautiful hotel nice rooms , great staff great food and drinks. Reservations app didn’t like at least it not at midnight anymore but still very difficult to get a reservation and you still need your phone for eating at the restaurant for lunch or supper. Witch I don’t like because when I’m on vacation I don’t want to use my phone. Beach is very nice but they have a problem with feces washing up on the beach every day

The resort was very nice and modern , the rooms were very large modern and very clean. The food was amazing, the restaurants and buffet were really great. The entertainment could have been alot better in the evening, sometimes nothing going on at all . The beach was very beautiful hardly any seaweed at all because we were North of cancun , the only downfall was absolutely No umbrellas at the beach at all only palm trees which didn’t do much to keep the sun off . The bartending staff could have been alot more friendlier overall a great trip . Also they changed the reservations for the restaurants for 9:00am instead of 12:00am which was so much better.

This resort is beautiful. We booked the privilege grand family swim up suite & it was by far the best swim up room we have ever had. This is the first resort we have been to that never gave us a welcome drink upon arrival. Check in was fast. The reservation system for the a la carts is absolutely terrible. It took me 4 days to finally book one. You have to stay up until midnight to try & get your reservation. We found the food to be quite good. There is lots of variety for lunches. The chair game is ridiculous here. The only benefit to being privilege is you can eat at Bloved without a reservation but if you eat there a few times it gets pretty repetitive as they don’t change up their menu. We were there for 2 weeks so by the end of it, I did not want to eat there anymore. The privilege area on the beach is a joke. They don’t monitor it so every color bracelet was sitting there & the beach service was actually better on the non privilege side. Also, we were supposed to get beach towels in our room but there were none. When we asked at the front desk they said they don’t do that anymore. I told them they should update their website then. We were also supposed to get turn down service which never happened until our last night. Oh & there is no where there to exchange big bills for smaller ones. We also found the front desk & bell boys to be unfriendly & rude. Overall we enjoyed our stay but would not go back to this resort.

This resort has great potential, but needs to work on a few things. I am not sure about this because this is my first resort since Covid, but you need your phone for everything. My husband and I try to stay away from our phones while on holidays. It is impossible at this resort. You need to go on your phone to find out all of the information, especially to make reservations for dinners and to get burgers at lunch. The most frustrating thing at the resort was you couldn’t make reservations until after midnight. Then you had to be up early to get pool chairs, I would say by 7 if you wanted shade. Our safe did not work and we had to call every other day for it, eventually we gave up and hid our stuff. Food was okay. Lunch was the best and you could always gets seats at the beach. The employees were all extremely nice and helpful. Resort was nice and big. Lots of walking. Overall it was a 4.

Amazing place with clean rooms and nice details and finishes. Pleasant atmosphere for day and night times. Would recommend this resort !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was an amazing experience, its 10/10 , it was super clean from rooms to restaurants and the beach resort furtintures was modern , food was fantastic, staff was polite and attentive, i cant complain. to the management and staff , thank you so much you all did a great job !

Amazing Resort!!! Cant wait to go back. And We just got Home on Monday. The Resort is just Beautiful. The grounds are So well kept. Very, Very clean. We stayed in the Superior Suite. On the 3rd Floor. The Rooms are large, Modern. View was beautiful. Pools are wonderful. The Staff all the Workers, are so hard working and friendly!! Entertainment all the time.
