Catalonia Grand Costa Mujeres All Suites & Spa

Excellent Would come back every day if I could.

Catalonia Grand Costa Mujeres

Very well maintained and run five-star resort. The resort is on the smaller side so it’s laid back and relaxed. I had a fantastic time but a bit too laid back for the pre-teen and teenager. Good selection of food but nothing that blows you away, although the service staff and chefs all are amazing and make the experience superior! The spa was the highlight, masseuse was the most talented and the facilities were amazing. We tried all the restaurants, and Ayumi teppanaki was awesome with our chef and server both outstanding! Great value for your money, definitely recommend!

This was my first solo trip and I couldn’t have picked a better resort. It has a very relaxing and peaceful atmosphere, I would recommend it if you are looking for a place to really unwind and connect with your senses. The rooms are super spacious, I was very pleased with mine. If you like to have extra perks, you should check out the Privilege package and take advantage of it. Bloved was my favorite restaurant, the service and the food were always great, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Shoutout to Gustavo, who was always kind and welcoming, he learned my coffee order and for breakfast he always received me with it without asking, those are always nice gestures. Overall it was a beautiful trip in an equally beautiful destination.

Catalonia grand Costa Harris, was everything very good

We had an amazing stay at this resort in Mexico! The property was beautiful and well maintained, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the food was excellent (specifically at the à la cart restaurants - BO Barcelona and Steakville) . Every meal was delicious, with a great variety of options and outstanding service throughout the resort. What made our experience truly memorable was the exceptional butler(s) service. Our butlers, Joshua and Nathaly, were both incredibly hospitable, attentive, and accommodating, always ensuring that every detail of our stay was taken care of. From arranging reservations to handling special requests, they went above and beyond to make our vacation stress-free and enjoyable. The combination of outstanding service, delicious food, and a stunning resort made this a trip to remember. We can’t wait to return! 🌴☀️🍹

Amazing second visit to Catalonia, food, hospitality, entertainment, rooms were all outstanding. Exceptionally grateful to Linda waitress from the pool bar, Mario from Reception and Wendy from BLoved !

Last Time Ever staying here! This place was a complete dump! Water falling from ceiling. Rust on the bed. Mold on the tile! Server walked by three times wouldn’t take my drink order. Taco truck by the pool was not same; menu changed! Could go on and on not enough room! Room was not what I paid for! Had to purchase another hotel same day and had to pay a fortune! This place didn’t care whether my family was there or not!

Overall, the rooms were great. Amenities were limited but well done. Options in the minbar for snacks were non-existent. Buffet was bad. Restaurant reservation showed every restaurant was booked and we were given only a 6pm spot or cancellation, for which we had to keep coming in and checking. The options at the nice restaurants were also very limited. Drinks were scarce. Overall not the all-inclusive we have been accustomed to from other competing properties in the region. The Good: Clean beach. Some restaurants were very nice. Pool. Rooms & Staff was amazing! The Average: Room service, bar/drink service (we dont drink so their selection for non-alcoholic was minimal). Elevator did not work in our building so had to use service elevator. The Bad: Buffet was horrible, incorrect labels on the food, causing issues with dietary issues. reservation system showed everything is booked, the restaurants were very small. For a 500 room resort, the amount of food options and reservations was surprisingly low. So we could not get reservations and had to get in with cancellations. Overall not a great trip as compared to other locations, however they were the most economical compared to other resorts. Would probably not come again.

The team has been great. Christopher, Wendy. Gustavo, Uriel, Julio and Miguel

My wife and I spent four nights at Catalonia Grand Costa Mujeres in June 2026 as part of a larger family vacation that included elderly travelers. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay, and there were several aspects of the resort that exceeded our expectations. However, there were also some areas where the resort fell short, particularly considering the price point. While we would consider returning, we did not feel that the resort offered the best value compared to other all-inclusive properties we have visited. Beach The beach was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our stay. The beach area is beautiful, spacious, and well-maintained. One thing we particularly appreciated was the abundance of beach chairs. Unlike many resorts where guests have to wake up early to reserve loungers, we never had difficulty finding a spot. The resort staff also deserves recognition for the tremendous effort they put into cleaning seaweed. Anyone who has visited the Cancun and Costa Mujeres area knows that seaweed can significantly impact the beach experience, especially during certain times of the year. Throughout our stay, the beach remained clean and inviting thanks to the continuous work of the maintenance team. The beach bar staff were among the best employees we encountered at the resort. They were friendly, attentive, and consistently delivered excellent service. Some of the best cocktails we had during our stay came from the beach bar. Whether we wanted a refreshing drink while relaxing under the sun or something more creative, the bartenders never disappointed. For us, the beach experience alone was one of the strongest reasons to recommend this resort. Pools The resort offers two main pool experiences: a lively party pool and a quieter silent pool. Since we were looking for a more relaxing vacation, we spent most of our time at the silent pool. The atmosphere was peaceful and enjoyable, making it a great escape from the louder entertainment activities happening elsewhere. The pool itself was clean and well-maintained throughout our stay. However, it felt somewhat small for the number of guests using it. Depending on where you were seated, accessing the swim-up bar could be inconvenient. If you happened to be on the opposite side of the pool, getting a drink often required either walking around or waiting for service. Thankfully, the service staff more than made up for this inconvenience. Two wonderful ladies were constantly circulating around the pool area, checking on guests and bringing drinks directly to their loungers. Their attentiveness and positive attitude significantly enhanced our pool experience. We rarely had to leave our seats because they were always nearby, making sure guests were well taken care of. Room We were very pleased with our room overall. The room was spacious, modern, and spotless. It comfortably accommodated the two of us and never felt cramped. Housekeeping did an excellent job cleaning the room every day, and the minibar was consistently restocked without us needing to request anything. One aspect we particularly appreciated was the evening service. Every night, someone checked in to ensure we had everything we needed and to provide any additional amenities beyond what had already been supplied. This extra attention helped create a more premium experience. That said, there were a couple of issues. The biggest concern was the air conditioning system. Whenever we left the room, the thermostat automatically reset itself to 23°C. During the hottest days of our stay, this temperature simply wasn’t cool enough for our liking. Fortunately, once we returned and adjusted it back to 20°C, the room became comfortable relatively quickly. While not a major problem, it was somewhat frustrating to repeatedly reset the temperature. The most annoying issue was the ceiling fan. It was noticeably noisy and occasionally sounded as though it was wobbling. At times, it genuinely felt like it might detach from the ceiling. Thankfully, nothing happened during our stay, but the constant noise was difficult to ignore and somewhat detracted from an otherwise excellent room experience. Food and Restaurants One of the most unique and enjoyable features of the resort was the food alley known as “5th Avenue.” This concept worked extremely well because it ensured that food was available throughout much of the day. Unlike some all-inclusive resorts where your dining options become limited if you cannot secure an à la carte reservation, Catalonia offered multiple alternatives through the food alley. We found ourselves frequently stopping by for snacks and quick meals, and there was almost always something available. The ability to eat outside the buffet was a major advantage. However, obtaining à la carte reservations was more difficult than expected. June is generally considered a quieter travel period, so we assumed reservations would be relatively easy to secure. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Despite our efforts, we managed to obtain reservations for only three of our four nights. Among the restaurants we visited: Steakhouse: Easily our favorite dining experience. The food quality, preparation, and overall experience were excellent. If you are staying at the resort, this should be a priority reservation. Mexican Restaurant: A solid experience overall. The food was flavorful and enjoyable, though it did not stand out as much as the Steakhouse. Seafood Restaurant: Unfortunately, this was our least favorite restaurant. The food quality did not meet our expectations, and compared to the other dining venues, it felt disappointing. We were unable to secure reservations for the Italian and Japanese restaurants, so we cannot comment on those experiences. Buffet The buffet was probably the most disappointing aspect of our stay. While we understand that expectations for all-inclusive buffets should be realistic, we still found the selection surprisingly limited. Compared to other all-inclusive resorts we have visited, the variety was significantly below average. Day-to-day offerings often felt repetitive, and there were fewer options than we expected. We frequently found ourselves wishing for greater variety, particularly at dinner. Service was another issue. It often took an unusually long time for staff to approach our table and offer beverages. While the employees themselves were polite, the overall service speed was noticeably slower than at other areas of the resort. Taste-wise, the buffet food was underwhelming. While some items were acceptable, very few stood out. If I had to rate it honestly, I would give it approximately 4 out of 10. Fortunately, the availability of food options on 5th Avenue helped offset some of the buffet’s shortcomings. Bars and Drinks The quality of service at the bars was generally excellent. The beach bar and pool bars consistently delivered enjoyable cocktails, and the bartenders were friendly and accommodating. The presentation and taste of mixed drinks were often very good. However, the quality of the alcohol itself appeared to be fairly basic. For guests who enjoy premium spirits, this may be somewhat disappointing. While the cocktails tasted good overall, the liquor selection did not feel particularly high-end. The lobby bar was our least favorite drinking venue. We simply did not enjoy the atmosphere or the drinks as much as we did at the other bars throughout the resort. One major drawback for us was the limited operating hours for alcoholic beverages. According to the resort information available during our stay, drinks were generally available only until 11:00 PM. For travelers who enjoy late-night socializing, this can be a significant downside. Personally, this was one of the biggest negatives of the resort experience and something that potential guests should consider before booking. Gym The fitness center was adequate but far from impressive. The gym contained most of the equipment needed for a basic workout, including cardio machines and standard strength-training equipment. For maintaining a routine during vacation, it served its purpose. The primary issue was the size of the facility. The room felt extremely small and cramped, especially during busy morning hours when multiple guests were trying to work out simultaneously. Ventilation also appeared insufficient. During peak times, the gym became warm and stuffy, making workouts less enjoyable than they should have been. While functional, the fitness center is certainly not one of the resort’s strengths. Accessibility and Resort Grounds One area where the resort deserves considerable praise is its overall cleanliness and accessibility. The property was consistently clean and well-maintained throughout our stay. Pathways were easy to navigate, and most areas were conveniently accessible. Since we were traveling with elderly family members, accessibility was especially important to us. Thankfully, they found the resort comfortable and easy to move around. Distances between key areas were reasonable, and there were few mobility-related challenges. This aspect of the resort significantly enhanced our overall experience and made the vacation more enjoyable for all members of our group. Final Thoughts Catalonia Grand Costa Mujeres offers several standout features, including a beautiful beach, excellent beach and pool service, clean and comfortable accommodations, and a creative food alley concept that provides dining flexibility throughout the day. The resort staff were generally hardworking, friendly, and attentive. The beach experience was exceptional, and the Steakhouse was one of the best dining experiences we had during our stay. However, there are areas that require improvement. The buffet quality and variety were below expectations, obtaining à la carte reservations was more difficult than anticipated, the gym felt cramped, and the room’s air conditioning and noisy ceiling fan were minor but noticeable frustrations. Additionally, guests seeking premium alcohol or late-night drinks may find the bar offerings somewhat disappointing. Overall, we had a great vacation and enjoyed our time at Catalonia Grand Costa Mujeres. While it is a good resort with many positive qualities, we did not feel it provided exceptional value for the price paid. For that reason, we would rate it positively overall, but not among the very best all-inclusive resorts we have experienced.

The resort was very pleasant and family orientated. The food and drinks were on point. We went with a large group and our two host Lily and Omar were very attentive to all our needs and did a marvelous job coordinating reservations for our group dinners. They were absolutely awesome, with great personalities.

We are not strangers to the Catalonia family. With over 30 stays at multiple locations; I would say we truly love the resort. That is until this trip. We requested an upgrade prior to our arrival via email; which circle members SHOULD get. Upon check in we were told there were none to be issued. I showed them on their website there was multiple rooms in our upgrade category available; however Erik, the "deputy manager" proceeded to argue with us and tell us multiple reasons why we could not have one. Fine. Head to our assigned room. I specified a KING room as my husband is 6'5" in our original reservation as well as an email a week before arrival. We arrived at our room with the bellman to find we were assigned 2 double beds. So, we headed right back down to the front desk to be told there were no king beds available. We found a room on their website that was an upgrade for us with a KING bed at which time we OFFERED to pay the difference so we could have a king bed. Again, we were told by Erik, "the deputy manager" that that room did not exist. HUH? You're advertising something that doesn't exist. So if someone booked that room, showed up at the hotel, they would not get what they reserved?? He then proceeded to tell us that it was dirty and needed cleaning. We offered to wait but he said it couldn't be done at that time or until tomorrow. My husband was ready to give them their bracelet back and go next door to the Majestic. (which I was tired and didn't feel like dragging luggage that far but looking back I wish we would have) So we went to our original room that we were assigned and made the best of a crappy situation. Food was average. Reservations to restaurants were hard to obtain. The buffet basically repeated the same entrees every night and breakfast was a free for all. Everyone - everywhere and no one could access the entrees. We sat on the privileged side and we were lucky if we got one drink with our meal. Most of the time we had to hunt someone down to bring us something to drink. After the crazy breakfast, we decided to go to Beloved every morning for breakfast which was awesome and Wendy was always there to give us top notch service! We are huge tippers and sadly we brought home more cash that we paid out this trip due to the lack of service at the buffet and several of the al la carte restaurants. The beach wasn't horrible. Yes there was sargassum, but they kept it cleared up except on Sunday. We don't get bent out of shape over mother nature if its tolerable so we didn't mind the beach; as did others there. Housekeeping was a hit or miss. We never once got turn down service which is unusual for privileged guest. (other Catalonia locations we always get turn down service and fresh towels nightly) Each night we put a tip out for the turn down housekeeper, each night they didn't come..... As stated above, this is not our first time at a Catalonia property. Its not even our first time at this one; however this will be our LAST trip to this location all because Erik, the "deputy manager", thought it was easier to argue and belittle his guests than to try to accommodate them. We have plans to return to the Costa Mujeres location end of July and will be staying at the Majestic Mirage. Will we pay more, yes. But with this location, you truly get what you pay for. We'd rather pay more and stray away for the Catalonia brand than to be disrespected by this location again.

great experience! We enjoyed the hydrotherapy and couples massage. Paulina was a great host at the spa!

The resort was amazing as always and the service provided by Lili and Omar was even better! Top notch and accolades all things from our rooms, to dinner reservations, spa reservations and reserving us the best spot on the beach! We had a great time and our service made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our time at the resort. A very relaxing and happy experience.

Had a great time with my family at Catalonia Costa Mujeres. My ETC butlers Omar and Lily were amazing and they catered to all our needs. They went as far as decorating our room for my wife and son’s birthday. Highly recommended!!

Paulina, Andrea were amazing at the Spa. High recommend to have them serve you at the SPA

Overall things that can be easily improved with some feedback that I hope is helpful. We bought privileged package but didn’t feel any real extras of luxury provided with that. For example, the beach chairs are exactly the same as if were to buy normal price. Consider adding cushion to chairs and put some cabanas on the beach for extra shade to make a difference in experience. Another idea, the pools everyday by 6:30am every morning had the few cabanas filled with stuff of people holding them. Consider if people are paying for privilege category to add some cabanas around the pool for this category. Found ourselves not being able to find any chairs around the pool since everyone puts their stuff on the chairs. The reservation for restaurants gets booked and filled immediately so consider doing a no reservation required for privileged guests as we have done at other luxury all inclusive resorts that we go to. Positives: The entertainment staff works hard to make people happy. The kids club staff were amazing, they were so nice to our kids. The property itself could use a paint job to freshen it up, as a lot of the exterior, especially toward the top is showing it is tired and needs attention. Coffee shop hours, why open at 8am? Consider an hour earlier. Internet was out for more than a day, no emails or apologizes for the inconvenience. Overall, it did the job for the trip, but we won’t be back based on other hotels we have stayed at being superior for luxury in the area, the privileged extra was definitely not worth it. Hope the recommendations help with improving.

Amazing experience. The massage was relaxing and perfect. The hydrotherapy prior was perfect.

Job at the lobby bar makes the BEST coffee and is so kind! You can tell he loves his job and is always so cheerful! Best start to every day :)
