"The rooms and hotel facilities are outdated and offer limited amenities. The breakfast buffet is excessively hot, lacking air conditioning or proper ventilation. There is often a shortage of staff, and food items are frequently unavailable or served briefly. The beach is not very suitable for swimming; I anticipated a better experience based on the images displayed on the website."

Catalonia Riviera Maya Resort and Spa All Inclusive

Catalonia Riviera Maya Resort and Spa All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"Very clean resort with many things to do. Room was very nice and air-conditioning worked great. We were upgraded to a bigger room for some reason I am not aware of but I did not complain. I always need a cool/cold room when sleeping and this definitely fit the bill. Deck was also nice too and was quite big. Restaurants were nice and clean. You definitely need to book all the restaurants in advance as they fill up quickly. The booking website could use some better work as it was hard to cancel and change reservations. Pools were nice and cleaned every morning. Beach was maintained as best as possible every morning given the bad seaweed season. The beach is not the best but you can snorkel and see many fish. On some days, there was no seaweed at all. Staff is very friendly and willing to help as much as possible. Bars were plentiful with a lot of seating. We didn't upgrade to the privileged status, but the selection was okay. Nightly shows were great and entertaining. Be sure to show up early. All in all in was a great resort. Not sure why there are so many negative reviews. I have been to over 30+ all-inclusive resorts throughout Central America and this was by no means in the bottom half of lower 75%. The only negative is how far it is from the airport; its about an hours drive from Cancun/airport. So if you are booking any excursions that are in Cancun or leave from Cancun, be prepared to spend at least an hour or 2 in the car."

10/10 Excellent
"Loved the staff. The place is ready for an update but totally worth it for the price. The beach is nice, you can snorkel on site. The buffet is ok in terms of variety but the chef can always make it better with stuff from the grill. Yummy tacos and salsa verde ;). Beds were comfortable, our son complaint about the AC but to me, the temperature was fine. Overall we all had a great time, hope to be back soon."
