royal tulum - adults only

Great Time

We were well satisfied with Catalonia Royal Tulum! Our room was VERY nice, staff attentive and friendly, wonderful food, especially the huge breakfast array. While there, we toured the ruins at Chitzen Itza and Tulum, both very interesting. Something to note (and this is not a complaint), there was quite a walk to get to the pool and beach, activities, and some restaurants. However, this walkway was spacious, flat-stone paved or else a board walk, through the trees. We felt it was a nice walk (exercise), but others may possibly be disappointed that they can't walk out of their room and be just a few steps from the beach.

Tropical delights far away from winter

We had a marvellous time at Catalonia, swimming in the turquoise waves, walking through the forest alive with charming little monkey-like animals, and listening to the songs of the birds. Our room was beautiful and well-cared-for by Victoria, who was charming, and very helpful in response to our numerous questions.The food was superb, especially at the Italian and Mexican restaurants and service in all restaurants excellent. Entertainment was rather disappointing, especially the music, and we found the theatrical offering overpriced and too narrow in its appeal. However, we very much enjoyed dancing two nights in the lobby, once to the acompaniement of a saxophonist and another time to that of a violinist and we liked the water show and the two visiting groups.

A phenomenal get away!

This was our first time staying at an all inclusive resort, and we could not have been happier with our choice. CRT was better than any expectations we had. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, always taking initiative to make sure you were comfortable and well cared for. Everything was always sparkling clean, and I constantly saw staff cleaning every surface imaginable. The food was outstanding, and the drink selection really varied (the organic juice smoothies were amazing). All of the restaurants are fantastic, and we loved Bloved. The activities were great, the beach so beautiful, and our room was spacious and lovely. The path through the forest and the bridge through the mangroves was magical. And we definitely recommend paying for the Rauxa show; the music, dancing, singing, choreography, and food were top class! You will not be disappointed you came to CRT!

Great vacation!

Our first trip to Mexico but the best trip! At first we were nervous (curb view) but once through the gate it was totally different. The staff was welcoming and our room was fantastic. The size of the resort is perfect and people were helpful. The only things I would change... pool was actually chilly, took a little effort to get poolside service for drinks but once they knew we were drinking it was good and lastly we wish breakfast opened earlier as the day we left we had to leave before 7 and nothing was available. We have already looked to see if available next year at same time!

Delightful Resort Experience

The Catalonia Royal Tulum is a beautiful property by the beach and incorporating the natural jungle into their landscape. There are many birds, caoti, blue heron, and even Smokey the cat that you can see in your walk to the beach. The staff were awesome, very friendly and welcoming. Although we were only there for two and a half days due to our Canadian government's request to return home, we would not hesitate to return to this resort. There are enough choices for restaurants and the food was delicious. We particularly enjoyed our spanish class with Rosa, interacting with Omar at the spa and the two men at the Nexus desk who were invaluable in their help with tour and flight changes. Thank you for such a memorable experience.

not a whole lot of authentic choices and spread out resort. a lot of walking and the walking path has stone, some being sharp. my husband cut his toe. and they allow vendors in side the resort I felt hassled to buy items as you could not even go to dinner without being hassled.

Amazing get away!!

Where do we begin? Having stayed once before, I knew the hotel was a wonderful place to go. This second visit exceeded out expectations! First thing, the upgrade to Privileged was well worth it and I recommend it! Now let's start at the Beginning - Isabel, you greeted us with such a friendly and professional manner, made sure to ask if it was a special occasion, anniversary, birthday, ect and if we'd been there before. All of the staff were incredible and I'd like to make a special mention to the following staff: Caesar, Fanny, and Luis for taking care of us in the evenings and Rosario, Sonia (I may have written your name wrong) Angel, and Alejandro, for taking care of during the day - All from Bloved restaurant. Now let me tell you about the restaurant and area known as Bloved - Well worth the upgrade. The food was impeccable! You see, I am not a fish fan, but like pretty much every other type of protein. I ate a couple of great dishes, but when Fanny asked why we weren't coming to eat there more, we told her, and she spoke with Alexander, the chef. The next evening, and the next two evenings after, Fanny and Caesar asked Alexander to come out to see if he could make me something different and special. That he definitely did! UNBELIVEABLE! The grill was another favorite, food and service were always excellent, although some evenings there was a 45 minute wait, but at least we were served wine while waiting. One evening though, it took me going to the manager at the front to request a beverage, from that moment on, all of us in that area were taken care of. The restaurant manger one evening came to talk to us and ensure everything was perfect. He was checking on all clients as well. Both breakfast and lunch buffets were abundant and Queztecal (sp) was always friendly and talked with us like we were old friends and Carlos gave great service and was great to talk with as well.. The one thing I missed at the buffet that was there when I visited previously, was the lady making hand made tortillas. Both the Mexican restaurant, run by Aurturo amazing five star service and the Italian Restaurant, delicious (yes they have gluten free pasta). One note, being a foodie, it's a pity that I could not be served either the alfredo sauce or the carbonara as flour was in them. Something I'm not accustomed to. If you like to eat, drink, and relax, this is the place for you. The evenings that we watched the entertainment, it was quite good. Especially the trio that was singing classic songs. I did not enjoy going into the theater to watch a show. But that's just me. We were fortunate enough to be able to watch a wedding while we were there and honestly, if we were getting married, I would do it here. My boyfriend spent time talking with Ita, the wedding/event co-ordinator, to find out a bit more. She was a fount of information. The beach was clean, had beach service and a fresh bar. My only irritant has nothing to do with the hotel, but the people who come down at day break, reserve chairs, and are not there for almost the entire day. The rooms are beautiful, quiet, and look out into the jungle that the hotel is built into. There are animals there, but nothing to be scared of. Entertaining at times. The new bar by the pool is nice. Better than a disco. I could continue writing, but it might be too much to read. We will be back!

Beautiful resort

Catalonia Royal Tulum is a perfect place to get away for a vacation in a beautiful beach side location. This is a smaller resort that has never felt over crowded on the two visits I have made here bot in the month of February. Drinks are poured great, food is fantastic and the beach is perfect. The pathway from each building to the pools and beach is jungle lined with coatis, iguanas and agoutis running around. Its only an hour drive from the airport and if you take a van or bus it's about a two beer ride which is perfect.

Our 2nd home

This was our 12th visit to Catalonia Royal Tulum. We keep coming back because we love the beach, the setting, and the staff. One of the things that drew us to CRT was that it is on the smaller side, it's very come-as-you-are (read: my husband doesn't have to wear pants to dinner) and the emphasis on it's natural setting. I wish they would quit hanging those cheesy signs (how close are we.., anything with you,,, the cagey thing with the locks and the giant high heeled shoe with the woman in the lobby) it's like gilding a rose.

Catalonia Royal Tulum

Overall good experience. Food and service was very good. We really appreciated the BLoved restaurant, incredible view, great food the white Chardonnay wine was real good. Our room was perfect including AC and very clean. Down side, not enough beer selection, drinks were average and the beach is very nice but too crowded and not enough space in between chairs. It seemed that the staff cleaning up the beach area have difficulty maintaining the area clean.

STEVE ANGEHRN14-03-20

loved it

we had a great time and i have already recommended it to freinds and family on my Facebook. Saving our money again to see you next year!!!!

February 2020 Stay

The Mexican restaurant featuring regional cuisine, breakfast and lunch buffets are excellent. The landscaping, boardwalk, and lighted bridge connecting the lodgings and pool and beach areas enchanting. The beach and clear waters are fabulous with just the right amount of surf to make it fun, and reefs for snorkeling within swimming distance. Road noise is something of a factor in the lodgings next to the main entrance if you want to sleep with the screen door open. In some cases, particularly the folks serving you water and coffee at the buffets, and the staff at the lunch-time buffet in general, are much friendlier if you tip them, otherwise you are invisible. Otherwise the service was good. Bring American dollars for tips, and/or don't come with Mexican pesos in large denominations or you'll have a hard time getting change. No orientation is offered upon arrival, so we missed out on some things. Generally a lovely place with good food, great beach, and comfortable rooms.
