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

My wife, I and two of our boys, age 20 and 18, went to Catalonia Playa Maroma last July. Our son Nico would turn 18 while on vacation. For the price, which we got through Cheap Caribbean, I don’t think it can get any better. We are world-travelers, but nowhere else is one made to feel more welcome than in... more

Like you, I have been studying, reading and wondering about the Catalonia Playa Maroma. I hope that I too can sway others that there is no need in worrying about this hotel, the place is priceless! No the hotel is not spanking new but who cares? Everyone from the front desk to the staff and the hard working people that... more

My family and I stayed here form 10/7/09-10/13/09 to be apart of my nieces beautiful beach wedding, which was fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you first arrive you see that the entrance is totally open which I loved without doors welcoming all to drop in so you really feel as you are apart of the surroundings. As you are taken to your room... more

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
