Hmm..where to start...I already said it was a WONDERFUL relaxing vacation. Does sum it up but there's much more. :) We stayed at the Catalonia from March 14th thru March 22nd. We had absolutely perfect weather the entire time we were there. We had a few days of gusty winds but nothing a little strategic turn of the beach chair... more

I stayed at the Catalonia from March 7 to March 14, 2008. On March 8 we took the shuttle service to downtown Playa Del Carmen. I was a lovely day where we took in the shopping district and some local fare. We were instructed to return and meet the bus at 5:00pm local time. The bus never showed up. There... more

Hola All! My partner and I stayed at the CPM between March 9-16 (Canadian March Break). We had a fantastic time and both of us are experienced travellers. Like most people have already stated, there is a large European population. But to be honest, I noticed about the same percentage of Europeans in many of my vacations to the DR.... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Catalonia Playa Maroma from March 6 - 14. Prior to leaving we were on this website everyday, reading each review. We were commited to posting our experience, recognizing how heavily we relied and appreciated when other people posted. First of all, I do want to acknowlege the most consistant thing that we read......YES,... more

We stayed at the Catalonia from March 4-11 and had a great time. We have a 5 yr old daughter who had a blast both at the beach and pool. She also did the Kids Club for a day and loved it even though all the kids were Italian. Kids know no boundaries! We found the hotel staff and animation... more

We stayed at the Catalonia from March 5-11 and would not recommend it for anyone who is American or Canadian. Most of the guests are European and Italian and are extremely rude - to the point that it will ruin your trip! I read all of the reviews before we left on our trip and thought I could handle the... more

We stayed at the Catalonia Maroma from Feb 13-27. It was our first time on the Caribbean side of Mexico. Previously stayed at 3+ * hotels in Mazatlan, Pt Vallarta, and Manzanillo. I don't think that I would go anywhere else again. The beach was the best I have ever seen, the water was so warm. As for the hotel,... more

When we got there, I thought it was a very pretty place. When we checked in, they put this wrist band on that was green. We started seeing different colors on other guests. Well we figured out the different colors were for different countries, so they segrigated us. As Americans we felt very singled out or LEFT out. Everyone else... more

My sister and I spent one week here Feb 22nd to Feb 29th.2008. and overall it was very nice. We had to exchange our hotel room key (credit card style) 5 times before we could get it to work. Then after we entered our code for the safe, it failed to work. Once these two issues were straightened out, everything... more
