Catalonia Yucatan Beach

Nice family vacation at the Yucatan. Like with any all inclusive resort there are good and not so good points…. Good Points… 1. Hotel. Very friendly staff, a good variety of amenities, decent entertainment schedule and a few dining/bar options and ample sun beds / areas to relax. 2. Location. A 5min walk to the marina where you can see dolphins and a manatis was a real plus point. Plenty of bars and restaurants there too. Plenty of local activities. 3. Great in-site Mexican restaurant, highly recommend. 4. Wildlife. My kids loved the agoutis! Nice array of fish around the beach/Bay Area…great for snoring (when the sea grass allows!) Not So Good… 1. Buffet restaurant. Very repetitive. 2. Italian restaurant. Lacked flavour in most dishes. 3. Very basic room. Yes we did just book a comfort but the room quality was sub par. Phone in the room with a socket half hanging off the wall, dirty bathroom and some questionable marks in the room. Overall the service provided by the hotel was excellent which is why I have rated them so highly.

We just returned from a family vacation with 1 five year old/ 2 30 somethings (married) and a senior couple grandparents. What a lovely resort it was spotless and modern. I love that you are only permitted to eat in the buffets and snack bars so there are not plates of food sitting around. The workers are all kind and helpful. Santiago at the Steak house was wonderful. The rooms are spotless and cleaned twice a day. The shows are good and the atmosphere is low key with plenty of activities. Great value and location.

We ate in the Italian restaurant today. Both the food and service was amazing, we had the pleasure of being served by Osiel. I would definitely recommend eating here!

I went alone to Catalonia Yucatan Beach in July 2026. I didn't think I would, but I really liked the smaller size of the resort. My room was right by the pool and the buffet, which I reall appreciated. Even though it's on the smaller side as far as Riviera Maya resorts, there's still plenty of space and area to walk around. The room was standard and fine. The one thing that I found surprising/dissappointing, was that Yucatan Bech guests DO NOT get beer(or pop) in their mini fridge. That is for the sister resort, the Catalonia Riviera Maya. Also, if you book Yucatan Beach, you cannot go to the Riviera Maya buffet next door, which would have made for a nice change. The pools were fine and active, although a little on the small side for me, as I like to get my exercise by swimming a lot, so larger pools suit me better. The sports bar was fine, although it doesn't serve food, and it closes at 11 pm. The Yucatan Beach buffet was small but good. Good mussels. The staff everywhere were friendly and awesome, as usual, for what I have found at Mexican resorts. There is a creperie by the pool, which provided great afternoon snacks. The beach area is quite small, and the workers worked hard everyday to remove the problematic sargassum. If I were to go again, for $100 more I would stay at the Riviera Maya side next door, for the previously stated reasons, even though the better/slightly bigger pool(and creperie) is the Yucatan Beach one. The gym is really nice, and open till 11 pm. One question to throw out there: Why do Mexican resorts have only 1-3 Englsih channels on their tv's, even though such a large precentage of guests are English speaking? Just a thought.

Cleaning service excellente, gracias Rosa.
