8/10 Very Good
Nov 1, 2024
This is my second stay at Catalonia Playa Maroma. The first stay was in a Privileged Superior room which gives you the option of having 2 large beds but is not fully updated, just refreshed (bathroom and floors are still old). This time we stayed in a Privileged Suite. On Expedia it says you can get King bed or 2 double, that is not true. Because it's a suite, it doesn't have room for two double bed. There is the bedroom section with a kind bed and the "living room" area with a pullout sofa. For our two kids, 4 and 6, the sofa was adequate. If you have 2 teens, that pullout sofa will be uncomfortable and you're better off selecting a Privileged Superior room. Being Privileged puts you in Buildings 5 or 6 closest to the pool/beach/specialty restaurants and access to Bloved restaurant.
Pro: For the money, this resort has everything you need. Big buffet, good specialty restaurants especially Italian and Steakhouse. Bloved- this time the food was disappointing, however, last stay it was delicious. Hibachi is standard, the apps are really small and the dessert is odd, but the showmanship was great! THE STAFF AT THE RESORT IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. Everyone was helpful, kind, attentive. Beautiful beach with NO ROCKS and absolutely gorgeous well-maintained grounds.
Cons: Even the renovated suite bathroom has mold. Coatis steal your food/drinks the second you put it down. Pool has loud music all day so couldn't nap in Building 6. No evator so if mobility issues ask for 1st floor.
