Great experience!

We had an amazing time at Catalonia Royal Tulum. The staff was exceptional, especially Quetzabel at the Palapa. Always smiling and willing to help, she made our morning and lunches so much brighter. We felt right at home, and couldn’t have hoped for anything better.


Best Cappuccino’s in Mexico

Fidencio at the Margarita bar made us the best Cappuccinos we’ve ever had in an all inclusive resort. Definitely a must for every coffee enthusiast and his cheerful attitude brighten our mornings spent in the soothing atmosphere of the resort lobby! :)

Wonderful time. Very relaxation. Excellent food, resort, everything!! Thank you for everything see you again!!! Great to meet a deaf worker there. Very, very friendly staff there. Delicious food especially Italian and Steak Restaurant. Very clean room.


Verify seaweed conditions before you book!

A hotel with courteous and professional staff. A good selection of restaurants on site. This hotel would have earned a 4.5 rating if it weren't for the massive presence of seaweed that made swimming in the sea and water sports completely impractical.


Chilled out ten nights 10/10
