Catalonia Riviera Maya

An introduction to Catalonia Riviera Maya

In the beach paradise stakes, Catalonia Riviera Maya is odds on favourite. And it's easy to see why. You've got sands soft enough to sleep on. Plus enough sizzling sunshine to make it feel like heaven on earth. This place has tropical escape written all over it. Add to the mix a rocky break water, a tranquil lagoon and coral for snorkelling and you've got the recipe for some serious R&R.

And that's before you even start on the hotel itself. We're talking five serene swimming pools. Service that's second to none. Start as you mean to go on lie back by one of the pools – perhaps the one closest to the sand so that you get the best of both worlds. Flanked by thatch-roofed bars, stately palms and manicured lawns, it's a real beauty spot.

The irresistible restaurants are something to write home about, too. Choose from a mouth-watering buffet, Mexican or Italian. There's even a creperie here to tempt you. With the food more than taken care of, the only decision left for you to make is how to fill your days. Will it be scuba diving? Or getting blissed out with an indulgent massage? The choice is yours. So come and create some memories at this Mexican gem. It'll exceed every expectation.

The hotel has lots of caracter. Very clean. The staff fall over themselves to be friendly and helpful. Great snorkeling on the reef 50 yds off the beach which also makes it safe for kids, and the lagoon has millions of multi coloured fish for the... more on this review
