Extremely small resort. There is only 1 very small pool that gets over crowed with kids and drunks. The food is awful and the buffet is the only place that doesn't require a reservation and there was no variety. I'm not sure how this resort is a 5 star. The privilege is no privilege and a waste of money. The beach area the chairs are all side by side with no room and privilege is even worse. When the restaurants are closed all you have access to are crepes which is extremely weird. There's absolutely nothing to do there. Privilege gets you the Beloved restaurant (that requires a dress code) but you have to walk around the pool past all the wild ppl. There's no point of really dressing up nice at this resort. It has a very cheap/low budget vibe. If you want to be in a crowded pool and just drink all day this is the spot.

Hello, I've been to Catalonia Playa Maroma and and I have to say that the service has gone from bad to worse, I am allergic to dairy products and even though I've told the not to include them, I've had some bad consequences sue to it's lack of attention, moreover, the restrooms that are at the main entrance, always are dirty and smell horrible, if you speak Spanish sadly, they don't care about you, they just care about foreign people and the animation people are the worst, the thing is they discriminate a lot , the staff in general don't care about dirty dishes and customers' needs, its has been a really bad experience, as etc members, the experience is not as promised

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and we were blown away at how fabulous this resort was. The service was excellent, the hotel was especially clean and ready for us. The staff was wonderful and the food was fabulous. We had our favorite spots, including Bloved, Toscana, and Ayami. We also loved the spa and Aromas coffee shop! Some especially wonderful staff were Quirino and Bernabe at Bloved; Teodoro and Isaiah as Toscana, Cleo and Araceli at the Spa, and all of the baristas at Aroma coffee. We loved this vacation and had an amazing honeymoon because of this awesome resort! The beach was also beautiful and clean. We did not want to leave and we are already looking forward to the next vacation here.

Room tip: Don't fill up your trip with excursions - stay at the hotel and enjoy the features and amenities of the resort! Tip the staff.

The comfiest bed and pillows I've ever slept on! Staff extremely friendly. Absolutely stunning resort! Don't listen to negative feedback. Food hood, beach Absolutely stunning! Would definitely return and highly recommended! The privilege rooms perfect, great location on the resort. The grill and Japanese restaurant excellent! Mexican least favourite! Food vans great snacks! Drinks great! Mini variety re stocked regularly. The only negative is the pool! It's too warm no way of colling off but we spent every day at the beach, lovely breeze!

Room tip: Request a privilege room! Try Al the restaurants!
