Hubby and myself just returned from the Catalonia Playa Maroma, and as I use these reviews to plan my trips I thought I would give my opinion of this resort. We arrived at the resort at 9:00AM and went to check in. We were asked it we would like to upgrade for a cost. We thought a minute and decided... More

Just came back from a 2 weeks holiday with the family. The hotel is really lacking staff, it is not normal to wait 10 minutes to be able to get a cup of coffee in the morning or get housekeeping service after 17h00. Sometimes the lunch buffet was a zoo, no plates, no silverware, no food, the food that was... More

My wife and I visited this resort January 14-21/2012. This resort is a good 4* for the money. After clearing customs, it was a 45 minute ride on the bus from the airport. Check-in: could have been smoother. Was in line at the main lobby check-in for 20 minutes when the bell boy checked our hotel voucher and then took... More

If you plan on going to this resort I would recommend stopping on the way there and bringing your on alcohol , or else you will wait for a long time in a line up and they pretend not to understand and give you a drink with no alcohol. When we got there we were told our room was on... More

This was our second trip to Catalonia Playa Maroma (Jan. 11-18, 2012) our first trip was last January. This time it was just my wife & I. We decided to go back since our first visit was so wonderful. However this time we found the service in the main Buffet dining room had gone downhill. There seemed to be less... More

To sum it up, we really had a great time in Catalonia Playa Maroma! Yes, not much to do at night but we knew it by reading the reviews ahead of time. Everything you need to know is there – very helpful was “BeantownSole”. For a really relaxing time and to be on one of the most beautiful beaches in... More

we found mostly guests from Europe who spoke little English. During poolside activities the staff spoke Italian, French Spanish and not so good English. Resort is very nice,but is spread out a bit. Food was OK seemed more geared to European guests. Wait staff at the ala carte restaurants were not very efficient as we waited a half hour for... More

We all want the perfect vacation. Myself, like you read reviews, saw lots of pictures and wondered what hotel would be the chosen one. This hotel has charm, cleanliness, extremely friendly staff and a pleasure to be at. The rooms are extremely clean.... we got the complimentary upgrade booking through cheapcaribean.com. The food exceeded our expectations, gourmet quality. Food was... More

So, I did notice while do the quick research only a few weeks from our trip that most of the reviews were from canadians or europeans, but we felt we were getting a pretty good last minute deal for an all inclusive with the jacuzzi in the room and privileged beach upgrade so we went for it. The first note... More

If you are European you will enjoy this resort!! It really targets and accommodates these people. It was very hard to find English speaking people at this resort. The food was to accommodate europeans and was limited I would say a 3 star quality The staff seams to speak anything but English is not one of then. the rooms are... More
