This hotel is great value! It's not luxury but the rooms are clean and spacious, the beach is the best in the area, the service is top notch and the drinks are stiff! The Beach: This was the best part of the resort. I've traveled all over the Caribbean and this beach is hands down the most amazing. I wish... more

Our stay at the Catalonia Playa Maroma was wonderful. Beach was one of the best we have seen. Rooms were nice and kept very clean. Staff were all helpful and friendly. Resteraunts had a good selection of food so we never went hungry. Drinks were just right, not too strong and beach bar service was great. Scuba diving was good... more

As seasoned travelers of all inclusives, I feel compelled to write my first review on this resort. We have spent the last 10+ years 2-3 times a year traveling to the Caribbean to all inclusive resorts. We have stayed at 6 golden apples and 3 apples in the same year. We book the best deal at the time we wish... more

But, the price was right (through CheapCarribean.com, so we thought we would take a chance. Guest rooms: They accidentally placed us in a standard room first (we were supposed to be in a superior room. It was not... more

Okay, I've got to start with the bad to get it out of the way. First of all, I don't know how other people were so lucky to get an upgraded room automatically, because when I asked, they quoted me an additional $40 per night! If it wasn't for my husband, I would have paid twice that, as the room... more

This was our first time staying at Catalonia Playa Maroma and after reading lots of reviews and looking at other resort info I'm glad we stayed here. We booked 8 months ago based on location,price,and the layout of the Resort.{We were there Nov.4-14}Hurricane Ida put a damper on the first 3 days of our stay,windy and rainy but it rained... more

As a last minute surprise romantic trip from my boyfriend, I did not spend a lot of time researching or learning about the Catalonia Playa Maroma (CPM) before we left. Having had a horrible experience in Punta Cana last year at an all-inclusive, I was cautiously optimistic about trying a new venue and a new resort. My cautious optimism bloomed... more

In reviewing this hotel it is kind of bittersweet. The better reviews, the more people go, and the more crowded it gets. I want to keep it a secret and ALL TO MYSELF!! My husband and I got married at the Catalonia Playa Maroma on October 10, 2009 and I couldn't have asked for anything more. Both of us work... more
