  Beautiful hotel

  As this is our third visit at Catalonia Playa Maroma this year already and each stay has been 3 weeks and upgraded to privilege, this hotel is one of the best in the area. We’ve highly recommended it to all our friends. The staff are so incredibly welcoming and they have remembered us each time. We must make mention of Ruben, Jose and the rest of the team (too many to mention) at the front steps. They are so attentive and always so helpful. The barmen William and his team including Matsu (again too many to mention, space is limited) are exceptionally good and creative with the drinks. Such beautiful broad smiles! Special mention must be made about Alfonso, guest services at the pool area. He is the most wonderful human being I’ve met, so kind hearted, attentive to my special needs (I have a rollator), and is prepared to be of assistance at any time and no request is too big to handle. He is a wonderful asset to your hotel. Housekeeper for our room 3118 created beautiful towel art and cleaned our room so well. Aircon worked fabulously. A few observations: a few fans need to be placed overhead in the foyer bar sitting area. It is incredibly hot & humid seated by the bar. It may also reduce the number of mosquitoes lurking in the area. Next, there is definitely not enough green loungers in the pool area. This weekend proved the point, there were hotel guests sitting on walls with children in very hot conditions not able to get somewhere to sit and relax. Overall we can highly recommend the hotel which has the most beautiful beach. Pool area is also close enough to beach.

  great hotel - great location

  fantastic hotel in a great location, in general staff are very friendly and helpful, positives - clean, food is good and wide choice - we sampled most of the restaurants and the teppanyaki was a real highlight, unfortunately we did not use the Italian as although we visited a couple of times, the air con was broken and was just too hot to sit and enjoy a meal there, a major Highlight is the on site prodive team, we went out to the reef snorkeling with them twice and was amazing, they were friendly, knowledgeable and we got to swim with sea turtles and all kinds of reef fish, the buffet was always well stocked and the staff were attentive, only negative was when attending early for any of the services the food did not seem as fresh and hot as when they were replenishing during service, the wildlife in and around the hotel was amazing, there were Caotis roaming the jungle that links the hotel buildings, along with, Iguanas, small lizards, wood peckers, butterflies, spider monkeys ( an adult and baby who played hide and seek with my 6 year old and i have the video ) bats, raccoons and some animals i can only describe as cross between a guinee ppig and a deer ( never did find out what they were called ) beach was pure white, and although there was days when seaweed came in - there was a constant clearing operation and it never impacted our enjoyment of the beach, Ruben the bellboy in particular always made an effort to talk to us and was super kind to our son giving him toys to play with on the beach and always a great "hola Brandon " whenever he saw us rooms were clean and serviced every day, only a very small negative here, as a family of 4, there was no real choice for a family room so our children has to share a double bed which was a little taxing as there is a 6 year age gap, a little more on offer here would have been beneficial, but who spens their time in the room anyway overall we had a great stay and would thouroughly reccomend - just dont pay the super high fees to go to Akmel beach to see turtles when you can pay 35 dollars a head from the hotel and have a much better experience

  Great Spanish Restaurant

  We have visited the Spanish Restaurant and the food was amazing, we almost tried everything on the menu so everyone could try all the dishes, which were great, the service from Alexia and Alberto was superb and really made the experience
