We just returned from the Catalonia Playa Maroma after a 5 night stay. We had read the reviews and knew going in that we would have a beautiful beach but we were unsure of the accommodations and the service. The service could not have been better from the check-in to the restaurant service to beach service. It was all you... more

This hotel is NOT new... The rooms are large, but the bathrooms are in desperate need of remodeling. When we arrived, little green bugs were crawling all over the sink area, and cabinet area where the tv stands. They never went away. The rooms are in a jungle are, where these stupid little animals COATI run around free, they look... more

After reading Tripadvisor Reviews we had low expectations but wanted to experience Maroma Beach .. We stayed 4 nites at an awesome price.. how bad could it be.. let me tell you how great it was for the money.. We did have a newer room that was more than adequate ..infact really nice in bldg 4 on the ground floor... more

The room itself was very nice. The hotel is undergoing renovations, so I guess right now its a crap shoot as to whether you get the refurbished room or the old room. I personally don't go to that area for the room, so it wouldn't have mattered to me one way or another. The AC in the room was just... more

Four star rooms: nothing is new in the rooms with some wear and tear present. However all necessities were there and everything worked. The bed was relatively comfortable and there was always hot water - ever during the before supper shower rush. Five star beach: no rocks, minimal weeds (only those washed in by tides and waves), clear water, and... more

We travelled with two families to this Catalonia, 4 adults and 3 teenaged children. We knew the beach was one of the best in the world as we stayed at the Secrets Maroma last March. We took a couple and their 14 yr old daughter and they had NEVER been to a resort before. The Catalonia company is to be... more

We stayed 7 days 6 nights at the Catalonia PLaya Maroma. During our week there we were the only Americans. Everyone else was Italian, French or Spanish. The language barrier with the staff was pretty much non existent. The staff was wonderful, always smiling and there wasn't any problem with communication. The beach is as everyone else has described-absolutely gorgeous.... more

The hotel itself is Huge and very spread out. a 1km path down the middle joins it all, so you have to walk a long way every time you want to go to/from your room to beach/pool/restaurants. The pool was very loud, with activities going on there all the time, and people speaking over a loud speaker, so we didnt... more
