"Nice, homey alternative to the big resorts. Very good location and very close to the restaurants in the area. Breakfast was simple toast and eggs.
We didn't read our booking closely enough and didn't realize there was a shared bathroom, but we are not picky and it was fine and quite clean. Only very minor complaint would be there were only 1 pair of towels provided (and no hand towels) and no bath mat to dry off your feet outside the shower."

"It was a large and beautiful property. Everything is perfect about this resort. The seaweed is very bad right now. So the beach is not too enjoyable. The landscaping is very nice! The beds and pillows were comfortable. The food was just okay. It’s pretty much the same stuff everyday with no flavor. But that’s at all resorts. The only thing we had issues with is the staff. No one seemed to be happy doing their job. You ask for something and they make faces, they act like you are bothering them. And, it wasn’t just one or two. It was at every meal we went to. And, we are tippers for everything. But the way they would respond, and have attitude. Made us not want to tip. So that’s definitely something mgmt needs to work on. The employees. I asked for two clean towels. The woman smacked her teeth and basically threw them at me. But other than that. Everything was great!"
"Huge property. Lots of walking. Buffet at the Palace was excellent. Restaurants were a nice change.
Snorkeling/swimming with turtles was the highlight. Activities staff were awesome.
A dedicated coffee shop and area for quick snacks would be a good addition. "
"I absolutely loved this resort. Our family stayed at a Dreams resort in the Dominican Republic last year, and we enjoyed that, but Catalonia was far better. Dreams was bigger, had a bigger buffet, no sargassum seaweed on the beach, and an impressive entertainment crew. But, it was the staff at the Catalonia that made all the difference. The people working there were just incredibly warm and friendly. They worked hard to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. After a week there, we felt like we were leaving friends behind. On the entertainment crew, Abraham really stood out. He brought the energy and the humor. At the Steakhouse, Prescilla was very sweet and funny while serving us. Arturo was our waiter at the Mexican restaurant where his smile and friendliness made us feel like we were his only table. Quetzabel greeted us warmly everytime we entered the buffet and really made us feel welcome and accomodated. And during lunch at Bikini Bites, Marcelino and Juan were a lot of fun and made the experience memorable. There were so many others who deserve mentioning as well, but who's names I failed to catch.
As far as the more tangible elements of the resort are concerned, they were equally notable. The rooms were great and the housekeeping was excellent. The grounds are beautiful and the pool was inviting. Ironically, I found the buffet food better than the fine dining restaurants on the resort. In short, great resort, and frankly, a great value."

"This is our favorite resort and we return year after year. One trip with my wife and I and one trip with my two kids and their significant others. It is hilarious that every year my son Jack gets the chocolate covered strawberries and champagne that is intended for my room. We are planning on returning next year to enjoy the pool, food, and fun atmosphere."

It is a little house in the jungle is the title say, and of course belongs to a property that has a big house and more facilities around.
There is also a tippy on the property and cenotes … it’s beautiful.
I didn’t have a car , there is a five minutes walk to the highway where youtake a ‘ collectivo’ that is an air conditioned van that takes you to places along the highway for a small fee. Used mostly by local people.
The same if you want to go to the beach, you take the collectivo.
This is the only inconvenience, it’s not on a walking distance.
The only close by public beaches are at Xpu Ha.
All the other beaches are private with a hotel, etc.
Same for eating out, you need to go to Puerto Aventuras with your collectivo.
This is a nice place with lots of restaurants, parks.
I also booked one day tours to :
1.Chechen Itza, the Mayan pyramids.
2.Swimming with a turtles another day
3.And to Xcaret park and show.
All these trips were spectacular.
The organizer will pick you up from your location, so no problem if you don’t have a car.
I enjoy my trip immensely!💞
