“back for your buck”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 8, 2012

First time at this resort.have been to the one in Tulum( which was fabulous)
This resort was much better than I anticipated. Ground and the rooms were quite nice and very clean. Beach was not spectacular but the small area was enough to still enjoy it.
I feel that this resort's most precious commidity is their staff they were warm and went above and beyond to make your stay more enjoyable. The Animation staff in particular were awesome, working diligently to get the guest involved in activities without being pushy. Shout out to my girl Pita her sense of humour made rainy days bearable.
\kudos also to staff in the restaurants who went out of their way to get me a cappucino if not offered at the restaurant we were in.\overall a great resort and would highly recommend it to most. Only people who may not be as enthusatic are people who like to walk alot on the beach, there really isn't a great expanse of beach to walk other than that Thank you Catalonia for giving a great experience on our holidays

“Pleasant Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 5, 2012 via mobile

My husband and I visited this resort end of January. Gorgeous weather, rooms were basic, no mini fridge or bottled water, but were so clean.We had a basic room, top floor, facing pool partial ocean view. after seeing the privileged rooms honestly I think the basic rooms had a much better view ! buffets were great always lots of choices, never a long wait to be seated . We tried the steakhouse, very good and Japanese restaurant worth the wait excellent !! Don't miss the creperie , best milkshakes and Creps ever ! The location was safe but expensive for any outings because so far out . The beach was very disappointing , very small and rocky but all and all a nice vacation, great value ! Probably won't stay again unless we get a great deal since the beach area was so disappointing.

“First time in Mexico”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 22, 2012

My husband and myself have just returned from this beautiful resort. Spotlessly clean, fresh towel figures every day. Very friendly staff everyone had an 'Ola' when passing and always willing to help. Lovely pools and good food, always plenty of choice although the breakfast queues were a bit too long some mornings as you were always escorted to your table. The Japanese restaurant was my favourite, then the Steak restaurant. We were celebrating our anniversary and were greeted with a bottle of wine and chocolate cake, together with a large banner on our room door which we really did not expect. It was nice to sit outside in the evenings but last drinks were always in the Sports Bar with great air conditioning and Juan the barman was a joy. He worked so fast and efficient even with a full bar, smiled all the time and the G & T's just the right mix. 10 minutes walk to the Marina and you could watch the dolphins being trained. A very large turtle was spotted on the beach but unfortunately we never got to see it but the sea had great snorkelling opportunites to see lots of fish and there were lots swimming near the beach if like me you don't snorkel. All in all a really good holiday but the temperatures were a little high for my husband. My only gripe would be that the rooms need decorating but that seemed to be work in progress in other parts of the hotel.

Room Tip: Room 4139 beautiful view over the sea from 4th floor.

“A great get away!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 31, 2012

My wife and I have been to the Catalonia Yucatan twice. Both trips were great!

We were very lucky in both of our trips, we had requested to be in a more quite part of the resort. So on both of our trips we were put on the Riviera Maya side. I think getting these rooms were just a bit of luck. You can request the Riviera Maya side but they might upcharge you for the room. Having seen rooms on both sides the Riviera Maya side is nicer for the fact that the rooms are more villa style compaired to the apartment style on the Yucatan side. With that aside, the resort is beautiful. Having two resorts in one complex it is great to have options for what you'd like. The Yucatan's pool is were the music is blaring all day and alot of the pool games take place. The Riviera Maya side does have music playing but it's not as loud.

One of the great features of the resort is the crepe bar that opens at night. It is great to sit, relax and enjoy an amazing crepe while listen to the ocean.
All of the restaurants were great, I really enjoyed the food at the tapankyi bar. They were great to accomodate my wife when she asked for no egg in her food, they bent over backwards ensuring that she was taken care of. Unless you've got a large group for the tapankyi bar you will be put with a group of random people, not always a bad thing unless you get stuck with some annoying guests.
The entertainment staff during the day are amazing, they try to get you envovled in all the activities, and once you say no thank you they move right along.

One free little trip that is fun to take with the entertainment staff is the bike tour of peutro advanturas. They take to you a "secret" beautiful beach where you can swim quickly, take pics etc. As well you get to tour one of the dolphin advetures that you might see advertised. Pretty amazing to see the sea life so close up.
For the adults, the swim up bar is great! Nothing like enjoying a drink while floating around!

Room Tip: Try and request the Riviera Maya side if possible
