One of the best, most accommodating places we've ever been, and we travel a lot. Privileged is worth every penny: beautiful rooms, private beach with drink service, free a la carte where non-privileged have to pay, and a rooftop lunch restaurant with the best food on the resort. The beach is beautiful and the hotel grounds are amazing. Loved every... More

Don't let the ride from the highway to the hotel lobby worry you. You are looking to a more remote location where you will be rewarded with beauty, peace and relaxation. The grounds were beautiful, clean and full of wild life (birds, lizards, coaties, fish). Our son enjoyed watching them and photographing them. The walk from the beach to the... More

Cons: 1. This is extremely important to know: You are given vouchers to eat at the restaurants. We were booked to stay there for seven nights, and the amount of vouchers we received were 3!!! Which meant for the other 4 nights we were forced to eat at the buffet. We felt this was a total scam and NOT okay.... More

I am a single woman that travels with a group every year for a break from winter. This hotel, while living up to expectations as far as rooms, cleanliness, beach etc. has issues with accommodating either single women or groups. To begin with, I had to pay for 2 persons in order to get a room. I understand that I... More

Let's start with the Staff: ***** The "animation" staff was just exceptional. We could not believe how hard they work to make sure guests are having fun, offering everything from yoga classes, Spanish lessons, salsa dancing, to volleyball competitions, relay races, to pilates. They did this all day then had a one hour break to eat- would run to the... More

Every year a group of us get together for some fun in the sun and we always go to Mexico. This year we traveled with nine people and chose the Catalonia because of other reviews. The hotel knew ahead of time how many were in our group. As we entered the dirt road filled with many pot holes leading into... More

We are a Canadian couple who stayed at the resort from Jan 24 – 31, 2012 and are providing our feedback below. Note that this is our 5th vacation in various parts of Mexico... Service: this was the high point of the resort for my wife and I. We received truly outstanding service everywhere we went at this resort. It’s... More

I just got back from a week at the Catalonia Playa Maroma with my wife and our two friends. To make things easier I will present this review in short sections. Check-in - Was a breeze, we had upgraded to the privileged section and had our own separate check in area. Our room were not ready so we went and... More

My sister and I really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The beach was absolutely beautiful and for that reason alone you should really take a visit to this hotel. In addition to the beach, the food was also very good, particularly Tappa's and the Italian restaurant. My extremely weak stomach felt wonderful during the whole stay, which is saying... More
