Hotel fully adjusted to french and italian, with drawbacks on americans.
A fantastic beach with great sea.
Room too noisy, but ok.
Large costs when leaving of the hotel (22 American Dollar) per taxi ride Playa del Carmen (15 kilometer).
Staff all very hard, hardly any foreign language skills.
Food and drinks almost around the clock:-)
What is missing is a quiet pool without animation, the sometimes annoying.
Good evening shows daily.
6 time à la carte restaurant in 14 days use, especially steakhouse very recommendable. read more

During our stay in november/december 2012 we have no trace of a ' mehrklassengesellschaft' found. The aforementioned privileged guests had in the main restaurant their separate Areal with a private operator, however, we can absolutely not say, that we than 'normal' longer for our beverages to wait had. The self-service in the privliged area was done by the same buffets, as for all other guests also. With the much more guests from France, Italy, Spain and Nordamerika we felt at any time at a disadvantage. We had friendly and very diligent staff throughout a good relationship. However, we had from ... the mexican waiter also no german knowledge expected, but us with our decades old english and a few spanish phrases from the travel guides informed. The worked perfectly and also a lot of fun.
The einweiserinnen Sonia and ana from the main restaurant, even our dictionary lent, few german words for their use herauszuschreiben. It was once again confirmed: as one called in the forest, so it echoes also again.
The portions and drinks in the specialty restaurants we cannot make a statement. Because of the good food and proximity to our hotel we had to stay all meals in the evening in the main restaurant restaurant.
I would like now to after this lengthy opening speech, but to my actual assessment will be.
The hotel Catalunya Playa Maroma consists of a fantastic realized symbiosis between nature and economic use. The complex features approximately 400 rooms in mexican style, in six two-to three-wohnkomplexen decorated in the jungle have been integrated. This lodging buildings consist of around with a lot of attention to detail designed and superbly maintained parks arranged. Many coatis, a waschbärenfamilie, as well as a variety of bird life stress the focus on nature the hotel added. The standard rooms are equipped with balcony or terrace, air conditioning, safe, bath or shower, toilet, hair dryer, telephone, cable tv (unfortunately only Deutsche Welle) and a mini bar with soft drinks.
The types of people are quite mixed. To the already mentioned nationalitätenmix we met on holiday-makers from the Switzerland, Austria, England, Sweden, as well as some from Poland, Czech Republic, Russia and the Ukraine.
For the all-inclusive is possible the guests the main restaurant ' pajarito', three specialty restaurants and a french creperie adjacent to the hotel, the also pizza offers, available. Thirsty guests are during the day at the beach bar 'palopa', and around the hour in the lobby-bar well served. read more

The hotel is a typical all-inclusive resort which very nice in the jungle is integrated. The rooms are along a tropical grown zugangsweges from the front desk to to the beach laid out. Unfortunately it is quite clear in spanish, italian and french hand. The resulting noise level of the guests was at the beach and in the restaurants partly nerve slaying. A 3 class society in this hotel is not to deny. Come first all privileged guests, dannkommt for a long time nothing, then the remaining guests from Spain, Italy, France and the USA/Canada, then it was again all ... for a long time nothing until the poor guests from the other countries! Not once presented we would such a thing again repeated! The highlight was the we in the à-la-carte-restaurants with their pitiful small portions no seconds got, very in comparison to other clientele (privileged, italian, spanish, french, americans, and so on) read more

The double room was clean, all-inclusive was good, wi-fi in the room always functioned. The staff was very hard-working and friendly. We really liked the food and was diverse. The cocktails were however partly unenjoyable and the beer watered.
The entertainers were always present, but not pushy. There was the matching entertainment for everyone. Since we in the november were there, there were only a few families with children. read more

A straightforward hotel complex with a good layout the zimmerblöcke.
Very quiet and well-kept complex in general. Everything was very clean. No complaints.
The hotel is 80% from italian guests. The remainder divides on into french, russians, americans and very few germans guests.
As already several times mentioned, you can get a upgrade to privileged make, which in our opinion completely unnecessary and what we are glad, that we did not do that. The only advantage the room, which from the condition better should be, as the standard room. We thought however that the standard room completely sufficient, since one ... anyway hardly in the room can hang out. read more

The hotel is really very nice. It consists of several smaller houses and is in the jungle built.
The rooms were cleaned daily and also well. Also the rest of the hotel (lobby, restaurant, pool...) Is always clean.
Mainly we have italian and french guests. Accordingly was the entertainment also not on german. You could still take part in everything, if you wanted, as it was in english.
Of average age i was surprised. There were very lots of young people (i guess between 20 and 30) in the hotel. read more

The hotel is in the middle of the jungle and of the main street after about half kilometer on a gravel road to reach. These embedded in the jungle gives the hotel a really special character which relaxation factor once again enhanced. ( so we have it in any case felt). The whole complex is very picky well maintained in terms of garden- and gardens. read more

To the hotel actually I need say anything, that you can here already several times to read. Really worth mentioning is in any case immediately off to buy. We stayed there with German Mosquito repellent try and after the second day I had already 22 passes at the legs, was not at all!
Otherwise the dishes in the main restaurant in my opinion better than in the theme restaurants, with exception the Spaniard, which was great. Costs for normalos 15 Dollar, for privilegde nothing.
We had a standard room and no upgrade to privileged, for us the also perfectly sufficient. ...
The beach is class, however sometimes quite fully seaweeds. Is however varied from day to day, sometimes is the sea glass clear and very clean.
What of the Mayas wants to look at the recommend I tullum, is on next and at the sea, super nice if you from top down look. It is a shame, that you building no longer permitted to enter. Also great is the jeep safari, one gets something offered.
We would this hotel and Mexico recommend at any time! read more

Beautiful hotel complex the white sandy beach

Location:
The hotel lies about 16 kilometer north of Playa del Carmen directly at a wonderful white sandy beach, which for long long walks along the coast at different hotels and partly untouched beach sections invites. It is very quiet location and nice in the jungle integrated. The approximately 400 rooms are 6 buildings each with about 50 to 70 rooms evenly distributed. If you are here at' hotel show on map '' satellite 'selects or directly with' Google Earth '20 ° 44' 21,07 'N 86° 58' 13,24 ' wireless enters, you can the complex very good. Here ... you see a straight path directly from the pool complex through the lush tropical garden to lobby. North and South of this path are the 6 symmetrical buildings with the rooms.
Room
The 3 buildings north of the path of the lobby to the pool area are 'privileged rooms', the 3 buildings south this path are 'standard rooms'. With a 'privileged room' you can a restaurant, as well as beach section more used. Apart from that the ' are privileged rooms' something modern equipped, on the balcony two are wooden chairs with braided sitting area and a wooden table, the ' standard rooms' two plastic chairs with plastic table.
Our room, a 'standard room', found itself in the complex south-east in the East, so near to the beach. The room was completely renovated and completely reasonable, as well as very quiet. The only thing which one there evenings could hear, one was pool party, which however only once the week, on Wednesdays until 23 o'clock went. Problematic it was however with the standard rooms in the complexes south and south-west. This borders directly at the disco at the hotel and refrigeration the neighboring hotels in the South and were also not renovated. Hotel guests, which we spoken had were accommodated and there, complained. You got a room in the complex South-East (where our room was), or bought a 'upgrade' to a 'privileged room', which 50 US$ per day costs.
Front directly at the beach in the north-east there was a round building, which 4 honeymoon suites included.
The rooms were cleaned every day and the towels changed. Sometimes were towels nice to figures folded, it was however regardless of tip, but probably depending upon which cleaning crew was on site. The rooms were between 10 and 14 o'clock cleaned.
Guests:
This season the hotel was fully booked, however it noticed at best somewhat by the pool, where we however rarely were. Apart from that are distributed the guests at the meal times is very good on the various restaurants and meal times, so that one does not the feeling had, that the hotel was booked. The guests are to 80% Italians and French, or French-speaking Canadians. The rest is spread over German, Americans and Spanish.
Animation:
Very extensive, especially by the pool. However mostly only French and Italian-rarely in Spanish or English. Since this is the area that gives us but were not interested, us was the matter.
Food& drinks:
Breakfast of 7 until 10:30 o'clock, lunch by 12:30 until 14:30 o'clock, dinner from 18:30 until 22 o'clock, snacks like hamburger, which you yourself can, at the buffet from 11 to 18 o'clock. Also there was a snack bar 'Tortuga' always fresh fruit, drinks and salads. Very good, varied, evenings different theme nights such as Caribbean, Mexican, Spanish, Asian, and of course adequate to the guests, Italian and French. There was several restaurants, one has of the pool bar only for guests with 'privileged room' with a view of the sea. The fresh fruit as different kinds of melons etc. Were very good, not overripe, just perfect. By the pool there was a Creperi, where fresh Crepes were prepared. The Cocktail menu was very extensive, mojito, caipirinha, Cuba libre etc. Non-alcoholic cocktails were extensive and good. The juices a had beautiful taste, water and ice cube were clean without Nebengeschmack. Criticism: some dishes should be hot, but they were only warm. Pepsi, seven-up, etc. Out of the machines had often a somewhat bad aftertaste for us not enjoyable. It was the mini bar in the room daily with Pepsi cans and water refilled.
Pool and beach:
The pool area was very well-kept. There was also very busy, animation, music played etc. On the beach, there was but very nice Corners, where one didn't noticed. And why the pool, if the white beach the turquoise water the Caribbean is waiting? At the beach were however the beach chairs with shade rare. You believe it or not, but a lot of beach chairs were with towels already in the morning at 6 o'clock 'reserved'.
Other: in the South-East is the diving school, prodivemex. COM, which was very good. There was also a German speaking dive instructor on site. The further sports program in the hotel was extensive, tennis courts etc. But we did not use it.
Excursions:
The comments here have naturally nothing with the hotel to do so, but should the information be mentioned: a taxi ride to Playa del Carmen costs 225 pesos, what with an exchange rate of 16. 45 CIRCA 13,68 euros corresponds. Here you will directly at the lobby picked up. Alternatively, you should be the way of the lobby to the main street, where buses drive, on foot go. As this way about 1a 2 kilometer is and a dusty Gravel is, we for the taxi decided. Furthermore we have about our German travel guide locally two trips to the Maja cities booked. One was at 7 o'clock respectively at 5 o'clock a comfortable air-conditioned bus pick up and evenings at 19 o'clock you was in the hotel. The visit was in German language run. Here it is however a solid point of criticism: the bus was in the morning and evenings each about 2a 3 hours busy from other hotels further guests pick up, or again schedule- clearly much too long and annoying. If you look at the Maja cities want to see, there may be better alternative.
In short: if you a peaceful hotel at a beautiful beach with a German led diving school looking for, as well as on animation in the hotel no value, you are in the right place here. A 'standard room' in the complex South-East is completely reasonable, quiet and renovated. If you are a room has, a is extra charge the 'privileged room' not justified. read more

The hotel was mostly by Americans, Italians, and French booked. German speaking guests were a rarity and fit so right into the whole ambience and program.
The food not according to the Mexican kitchen, rather American. Often was the service staff overtaxed with the characteristics of clean Cutlery, dishes or simple ask like for instance coffee to give.
At the pool bar there were often no mugs more for a coffee, everything other you only got in plastic cups.
The in and out of the guests ( mostly tours) found around the hour and we found Dauerurlauber very annoying. It ... would have been better if the houses afterwards divided would have.
The staff were always friendly and helpful, but it seemed often even overtaxed. read more

The restaurant manager were not able sufficient staff drop off, so that one for example in the morning for breakfast a cup coffee or water for tea in the period of up to 15 minutes, received! Lunch and mostly very bad cold food, thereby every day the same salads, Chicken and burgers. The manpower was even worse! The additional restaurants (Italian, Mexican etc.) were better in the service area, were however only open in the evenings. Hotel because of its location and the naturalness not recommended however because of the food. read more
