Playa Maroma is in a great position, between Playa del carmen & Cancun. You can reach both cities easly (playa is about 15$ by taxi from the hotel). Lots of rooms are very new, comfortable, clean and big enough. The strong value of this hotel is the very nice, spacious and clean beach. Believe me, it's the best beach amongst... more

We stayed at this resort for 14 days in Jul 2008. This was our second visit to the Yucatan Peninsula. I'm giving this a "Okay "rating as this resort has many down sides but has the BEST beach I have come across. The sand was soft and no rocks to be seen. Therefore no snorkeling as there is no reef.... more

We were at the Catalonia for the week of June 23rd; this was my first trip abroad, and I was NOT disappointed! After reading many reviews before leaving for the resort, we definitely took some advice: if you don't get a "premium" room at first, UPGRADE!!! The 1st room we had was "okay", but had a mildewy smell and the... more

We just returned from a one week stay at the Catalonia and I couldn't be happier. This hotel is absolutely gorgeous! The grounds are lush and well taken care of. It is truly a Mexican style property with bright colors and open areas. The food was very good in both the buffets and the Tio Pedro restaurant. The mediteranean restaurant... more

Hi everybody ... I stayed at the Catalonia Playa Maroma hotel from 16 to 31 june and now I really miss it ... It was such a paradise ... It was just a fairytale and I even saw a wedding there! The food was excellent, the rooms were very clean and the staff was friendly (but I'm Italian and most... more

We had a great time at the Catalonia Playa Maroma June 12-19, 2008. We hated to leave! We got a great deal on this place, so I was a little concerned after reading the previous comments posted. Some of the negative comments are true, but some have no basis. Here is our experience. Staff and Communication: The staff is fantastic!... more

We just got back from staying here at the Catalonia Playa Maroma. We had a fabulous time and cannot say enough about the friendly staff. They were wonderful. My only complaint was that the hotel was extrememly hard to find off of the main road. No visual signs telling you where it is. The food at the restaurants was fabulous,... more

Myself and 3 friends stayed at this resort in July 2007 for one of their birthdays, and the trip was booked at the last minute. Because we booked this last minute, and we had a price range there wasn't much to choose from and although I had read some bad reviews, I decided it couldn't be as bad as people... more

This hotel is definitely not for Americans. I read a bunch of reviews before I went and they were mixed, some said it was fine, some said it was a little catered to Europeans. You get assigned a braclet to determine what country you are from. So other guest are constantly looking at your wrist deciding to say hello or... more
