Catalonia Playa Maroma - All Inclusive

Located on the white sands is a 10 from me. The room was absolutely lovely. The ground spendid jungle. Large pool and plenty of food options. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Any issues were rectified promptly. Fantastic hotel.

I forgot to post this review from last year. But just had clients there and it still stands to be true. I loved the it!!! It is a solid 4* property. And yes, I will be returning as this is my type of resort. (I do not like huge sprawling properties) Property: gorgeous. Lots of jungle and plants. Great paths to walk and run on. Lots of wildlife including monkeys. There is a long peaceful walking path from the main lobby to the pool and beach - just beautiful. Pool: good. I thought there would be issues getting chairs, absolutely not the case. Loved the different sections in the one pool. Easy entrance for those with mobility issues. Pool bar made great drinks. Beach: phenomenal. Amazing sunrises. It had lots of chairs and also had mobility access for wheelchairs. Food: solid. Buffet was good quality but not a HUGE selection. Lots of Mexican (which I love). The al la cartes were decent. Loved the Mexican. The Tapas, good but not exceptional, and The Grill was good. Loved the taco bar and the food trucks. The Pizzeria was good but they need to cook the dough longer. They serve Pepsi products here, which is a huge bonus for me and there is a self serve machine near the Palapa Bar and that made a huge difference. We brought our own cups with us. Rooms: we upgraded to Privilege and were in the COBA section. The room was HUGE and the ground level was lovely. It was very quiet. Room came with a scale so you can weigh yourself at the beginning and end of your vacation. Bed was comfy. TV mostly got Spanish channels but we streamed movies at night. Privilege: upgrade your clients to the Privilege. The BeLoved restaurant was really good quality and service. Seperate section on the beach with beach service. Things that I liked a lot - quiet and respectful - solid food - upgrade to Privilege - great service - old world charm. Dark wood. Very traditional. - fantastic beach with gorgeous white sand - you can walk for miles on the beach - very lush with a jungle atmosphere and lots of palm trees - lots of places to sit and relax - has good support for mobility challenged - decent entertainment at night: lobby, theatre shows, and around the resort (beach party, foam party) - amazing shops and services -it is just a beautiful well kept property. -there are lots of "hidden" surprises -Coffee Shop -Aroma- was cute -they do have a gym -they do have a wedding coordinator. Questionable things - not alot for kids to do. Small playground that looked like a prison. - The Coati are relentless - we had sargassum a few days while we were there. - lots of walking. - there is no quiet pool for those who like peace and quiet during the day. Clientele when I was there -older clients. 40ish and above but a fair amount of over 70yrs -not alot of kids. -mostly couples -Italian, German, French, Spanish. Mostly European. Some Canadian and American. -no issues. Everyone kept to their own space and were respectful. -I find that
