Book Catalonia Playa del Carmen accommodation from AU$370

Reception staff was so rude not at all helpful. Beach had sea weed all around. Only 3 restaurants were open.

We been going there for approximately 20 years and

Only complaint was slow wifi but everything else 5 star. Super friendly staff and great location!

The hotel is very clean and rooms were cleaned daily, the staff was tremendously helpful and very friendly. The only issues I had was the pillows are horrible, it’s right on a main access road to the beach so is very loud and it’s open concept so you hear everything in the halls and lobby even on the third floor, the hours are very odd for an adults only as the bar is only open from 11am to midnight and the buffet is not all day. The food however was excellent especially the Italian restaurant! It’s nice and close to the pier to go to Cozumel as well as great shopping and night life! Definetly a pros and cons resort

Definitely overrated. Where do I start. 1) Upon arrival, you would think the check in would be much faster. Plenty of employees standing around which could be helping but aren’t. 2) I arrive at my room which has the walk-out pool and literally walked out to an 8 x 8 one foot max pool. Didn’t even connect to the main pool area. 3) On hotels.com it says (2) queen beds and they stated hotels.com doesn’t know anything about their process. After enough going back and forth, they moved us to the furthest area back which had (2) queen and walk-out pool. I shouldn’t have to spend hours of vacation sorting that out 4) we had a big family with us and they made it extremely difficult for us to eat together. I would understand if seating was limited, but the areas were 1/2 empty. You should accommodate your guests when possible and it was always possible but basically refused. 5) We were booked at the older Xcaret hotel area VS newer area. Newer area looked like a ghost town so maybe so overloaded the old side to make it seem fuller. Not sure 6) you don’t even have good beach access Overall, I won’t be going back. We’ve been to many other places with less expensive rooms, better views, better beaches, and better service

Very clean. Service was slow
