Staff was exceptional right from our check in with Luis to our numerous attentive wait staff and cleaners. I would especially compliment Paulo for the amazing massage. Many folks may be hesitant about the number of steps but I assure you the views make it all worth while. Large rooms with beautiful decks and a pool & happy hour bar you will not get anywhere else! Loved it all.

Staff was lovely, the rooms & public spaces had excellent views; the breakfast that was included was ample & delicious. The beach area was immaculate. Food was good, great location & reasonably priced. Wait staff Hector & Julia were exceptionally kind. I had a massage & mani-pedi at Joy Spa located at the hotel. Danielle was an excellent masseuse- all my aches & pains melted away as I lay there, while listening to the sounds of the waves. Elisabeth did my mani-pedi - she was very warm & kind & my nails look great.

Pros The view is beautiful and the beach and pool were great! The provided breakfast was excellent along with view. Reception staff was nice-Although I did learn more info from a guest that has been there every year for many years Cons-not necessarily complaints-maybe suggestions. There are so many steps. Be prepared to get your cardio in. The curtains had stains on them. The front door had cracks in the wood. There are no vending machines. It would be a nice addition. The bathroom shower and toilet needed cleaned better. Wifi was not strong. Need to upgrade to electronic key cards-just a suggestion.

This was our 4th staff @ Catalina. The staff was excellent and took great care of us during our visit. Alberto at the beach bar was great, Rosie gave us awesome massages and the morning breakfast staff was also terrific. Overall, we had a great vacation. Suggestion for improvement: Expand the breakfast included menu to include some pancakes or other option.

We loved the location, the beach and pool. The bedroom and balcony where spacious and very nice, the view fantastic. You need to be in good shape to climb the steep steps going to the restaurants and pool. The staff was very friendly and efficient at all time. The only down side which is not original in the best hotels in Mexico: the shower temperature! Otherwise 5 stars for us.

Classic Mexico, Right on the beach

This place is a classic old Mexican resort, right on the beach. Great convenient location. And pretty affordable for where it is. Lots of stairs to keep you in shape on your vacation. Staff was friendly and attentive. Watch the sunset from your deck, and go to sleep to the sound of waves.
