May 21, 2026Disappointing Dining and Beach Experience
1. Inconsistent cocktail quality: I tried the Piña Coladas and a few other cocktails, but they were often watery and lacked flavor. Fortunately, I was able to try some authentic Latino cocktails in the city center; otherwise, I wouldn't have known what they are actually supposed to taste like. 2. No buffet option for dinner: There is a lack of dinner buffet options. 3. Repetitive A La Carte menus: Having a fixed menu at the A La Carte restaurants becomes a major issue if you are staying longer than 4–5 days. The options are simply too limited for an extended stay. 4. Seaweed issues: One day, the sea was completely unswimmable due to the heavy accumulation of seaweed. While I understand this is a natural occurrence that the hotel cannot control, a disclaimer should be included in the booking description. I later found out that this is a known, recurring problem for guests visiting between mid-March and July.

Lovely hotel, great food and exceptional staff
Just returned from 2 weeks at the Catalonia Royal Tulum and what a wonderfully relaxing stay. We loved this resort. Small and intimate with the most amazing staff. Special mention to Quetzebel, Angeles, Carmen, Ana, Rigoberto, but there were so many more lovely people who looked after us. The breakfast and lunch buffets were excellent - a lot of choice, fresh local produce and live cooking stations. We also enjoyed the à la carte dining options in the evening - our favourite was the steakhouse and Italian. At the end of the two weeks we would have liked a couple more options on the menus but this is a very minor point as the dishes were always good. Wine and cocktails were excellent and plentiful! Standard rooms were large and set amongst the rainforest, consequently they were a little dark but there were plenty of lamps. We sampled the Bloved optional upgrade (part of a sales pitch to join the Catalonia loyalty club) but we didn’t think it was worth the additional price tag. We enjoyed the evening entertainment programme, not usually our thing, but good fun and as this was in a slightly separate annexe it didn’t impact on the tranquility of the resort at all. The one Tui excursion we pre booked was cancelled so we used the local travel agent based in the foyer and did three excellent full day trips through them - all very good and significantly cheaper. We also organised a great snorkelling trip to the local reef through the water sports concession run by Frank. They also offer free short catamaran trips or kayaking as well as longer trips to the islands. I would thoroughly recommend the Royal Tulum and look forward to going back one day!

May 19, 2026Disappointed
I’m here right now. The privileged package doesn’t give you much of anything special. The reserved spot on the beach is right beside a pile of seaweed and smells horrible. And the whole beach is covered in seaweed. They are constantly cleaning to no avail. The pool is nice if you can get to it. People get up early and throw their towels on chairs and then leave. If you have a difficult time walking, this is definitely not for you. The rooms and amenities are very spread out. There are no elevators to the second and third floors. No beach views from your room here. The food is pretty good. The room is ok but nothing that great. If you truly think this place is great, you’ve never been anywhere better like I have. I will enjoy my stay but I won’t be back.

5/5 Stars - absolute paradise fused with nature!
Our recent trip marked our 8th stay at the Catalonia Royal Tulum. This adults-only resort remains our absolute favourite spot for a relaxing, peaceful, and consistent getaway. The property is stunningly woven directly into the native jungle, meaning you get to share your daily walks to the pristine white-sand beach with local wildlife like coatis, iguanas. The grounds, pool area, and rooms are kept spotlessly clean by the hardworking staff, which is exactly why we keep coming back year after year. A massive, heartfelt shout out to Quetzabel and Angeles at the breakfast and lunch buffet! Their warm smiles, friendly banter, and amazing hospitality remain the absolute best way to start our days. They always remember our names, making us feel like part of the Catalonia family every time we return. The beach waiters work so hard in the sun to keep cold drinks coming directly to your lounger with a friendly smile. Larissa and Peter
