I had a mixed experience at Catalonia Royal. The rooms had a damp smell all week, and the cleanliness of the sheets was disappointing. Despite not meeting five-star standards, the hotel's beauty was a nice retreat from the pool and beach. The rooms were spacious, including a balcony, but there was a noticeable dampness in the air. Although I initially planned to extend my stay, the overall disappointment led me to cut my trip short.

The dining experience was a letdown with mostly fried food and meat in heavy sauces. The breakfast buffet on the adult-only side was a highlight, but overall, the food options were limited and disappointing.

The facilities were lacking, with cold buffet dishes and less appealing options. The evening activities in the adjacent 'Family' Resort seemed to overshadow the amenities at Catalonia Royal.

I had an amazing stay at Catalonia Royal! Our room was spacious and had a lovely balcony overlooking the fountains, providing a peaceful retreat away from the pool bar area. The evening activities at the nearby Family Resort added to the fun atmosphere. The room could use some modernization, but I absolutely adored the large bath in the bedroom.

The location was excellent, beautifully decorated and not overcrowded. With two pools and the beach just a stone's throw away, it was a perfect spot for relaxation. The only drawback was the fee for transportation to/from the airport, considering the overall expenses in the area.

The hotel is in a convenient location with two pools and access to the beach. Although the rooms had attentive attendants for quick services, they were outdated and had a persistent musty odor. The service was a mix of courteousness at the desk but lackluster in other areas. The dining experience lacked appeal, and the facilities needed some renovation.
