What a wonderful hotel this was. I would recommend this place highly. The rooms were very nicely appointed. Beds were comfortable. AC worked just fine as soon as we realized that if you accidently close the curtain in the sliding door, the AC turns off. There is a toggle switch in the jamb of the sliding door that turns the... more

LOVED this place!! Will go back as soon as possible with my husband too. We took a van from the airport, and were dropping people at various places with long paved drives. We turned onto an unpaved road and my friend and I were concerned. Little did I know that we didn't need to be. The open air lobby was... more

Wanted to quite place to celebrate our anniversary, and after reading the reviews here decided on the Catalonia. One of the smartest decisions I have made lately. When we checked in and sipping our drink we were told we had a room down at the beach, and we had been upgraded to one of the newly remodeled rooms. The room... more

My husband and I travel a few times a year to either Mexico or Punta Cana. The beach here compares to Punta Cana. Wide sandy beach with some palm trees. No coral/rock in the water to worry about. Also, I was concerned about shade from the pictures, but there was plenty of shade on the beach as well. Distance from... more

We just returned from the Catalonia Playa Maroma after a 5 night stay. We had read the reviews and knew going in that we would have a beautiful beach but we were unsure of the accommodations and the service. The service could not have been better from the check-in to the restaurant service to beach service. It was all you... more

This hotel is NOT new... The rooms are large, but the bathrooms are in desperate need of remodeling. When we arrived, little green bugs were crawling all over the sink area, and cabinet area where the tv stands. They never went away. The rooms are in a jungle are, where these stupid little animals COATI run around free, they look... more

After reading Tripadvisor Reviews we had low expectations but wanted to experience Maroma Beach .. We stayed 4 nites at an awesome price.. how bad could it be.. let me tell you how great it was for the money.. We did have a newer room that was more than adequate ..infact really nice in bldg 4 on the ground floor... more

The room itself was very nice. The hotel is undergoing renovations, so I guess right now its a crap shoot as to whether you get the refurbished room or the old room. I personally don't go to that area for the room, so it wouldn't have mattered to me one way or another. The AC in the room was just... more

Four star rooms: nothing is new in the rooms with some wear and tear present. However all necessities were there and everything worked. The bed was relatively comfortable and there was always hot water - ever during the before supper shower rush. Five star beach: no rocks, minimal weeds (only those washed in by tides and waves), clear water, and... more
