Catalonia Yucatan Beach - All Inclusive

As a returning guest of 9 times I have a little more expectation so take that into consultation with my review. I prefer the Catalonia Yucatan side for the simple reason of view and closeness to the beach. Rooms are outdated but very clean compared to the newly renovated Catalonia riviera Maya side. (They use to consider sister resorts) As of Nov 1/23 they have split the two and you cannot get privileged on the Yucatan side at all. Catalonia did offer us to switch sides (to the riviera Maya) and receive the same service that we’ve always received but would not give us the same to stay on Yucatan. We couldn’t use the steak house, Japanese restaurant, or beloved. Other than this our trip was amazing as always from the staff to the location!

Great stay, with our family with our family of 4 persons. The staff is very friendly, the restaurants a good, not super perfect but is really good value for money. The option to try different restaurants with reservations works very well, so we did not feel we had the same food all the time. The rooms needed a upgrade, but we know in advance, as we seen it in many reviews before. However our time spend in the room was so limited, that it’s only for sleeping. We will definitely come back, if we need a hotel in PA again.

THIS WAS THE BEST! The resort was exceptional and the staff was exceptional. I can't say better things about the staff, especially Emillio (concierge), Alfredo (bellman), and Victor (customer service support). EVERYONE, helped me and my roommate. It was the most fun vacation I've ever had, I will absolutely be returning next year. I hope I get to maintain these friendships and see these amazing staff again next year.

This was our second stay at the property and we enjoyed it yet another time. Great service by the staff, the free kayaking and snorkeling makes it even better (there are many different types of fishes in the sea). the complete Puerto Aventura campus is a specially built community for vacationers so it is very safe to walk around at any time.

The rooms are outdated, need definite improvement, specifically matresses were old and dirty. We believe this is such a basic and inevitable thing a hotel should provide, if especially when they charge a nightly rate of 300 usd. Unfortunately staff admitted that the mattresses were not renewed for a long time. The staff were amazing except a few, always trying to help and accommodate. Food was good too, comparably limited selection. We do not recommend Italian restaurant. Also need to be privileged to get drinks in the room/ fridge.

Nice smaller beach with breakwater. Dining option non-existent, reservations gone at 8 am. Two buffets were good. Friendly staff, clean. Basic rooms could use upgrades, we weren’t there for the rooms. Great wifi. Overall would stay again

The property is outdated. No coffee machine in the room you have to wait till 7 am to get coffee and it’s limited. Staff is rude

We spent a week at this resort and had an amazing time! The rooms were fairly outdated but we’re always cleaned well and waters stocked. The resort shares the facilities with the Riviera Maya resort next door so there are lots of pools, bars and beach areas to explore. The food onsite was great, lots of buffet options and the a la cartes were delicious (highly recommend the Mexican restaurant & Japanese) We loved the relaxed atmosphere and great snorkeling right off the beach! The nightly shows and entertainment staff were excellent! Overall a great resort for a good price.

The staff was incredible here. Everyone went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. We especially enjoyed Pedro the bartender at the swim up bar. He remembered our names from the first time he met us and would always say hi if he saw us on the resort. He even came out of the bar area to come and ask me if I wanted a drink on the pool deck. One of our best vacations was spent at Catalonia Yucatan! The snorkelling on site was some of the best I’ve ever seen! We snorkelled every day and I highly recommend bring your own mask set. You can sign them out on site but only for 45 min a day. Renting a golf cart for the day ($60usd) was a huge plus for our teenagers. They were able to explore safely in the gated community giving them a change of scenery. 5 🌟 from us!
