This hotel is old and in need of renovation. The rooms are nothing fancy. The water pressure is so low. I had to shampoo my hair at the pool showers. We could not see through the windows as they were covered with a dingy plastic, so we were unable to see the view of the ocean. You must run the shower for 15 minutes to get lukewarm water. There are lots of stairs and no elevators; this may be a problem for some. This hotel is overpriced for what it is. Your pay for location and beach access.

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.

Liked the bottled water that was available in the lobby and in the dining room.

Ad says “pet friendly”, maybe so but you can’t take them anywhere and not supposed to leave alone in your room, and a 600 peso per day charge, not mentioned. Didn’t find out room had no AC until check in. Some of the cheapest TP we’ve seen anywhere. The view was great from room balcony. Short taxi ride to market and restaurant area. Overall, not worth the price we paid.

A charming old hotel. Great location and excellent service. A bit shabby but that gives it character. Great views of La Ropa from our deck, the bar and the restaurant. Good breakfast included in room rate. Lots of stairs up and down from the beach so might be difficult for those with mobility issues.

This is a great place to stay. Its safe, convenient and beautiful! Staff were very good and helpful. Team leader Alfredth was friendly, competent and always willing to help!

I loved the people working there, they were so kind and helpful. I appreciated the work they did and the help they assisted with. However the rooms are different than what’s being advertised. Outside of the rooms is a lot nicer but the room itself was disappointing.

The view of Playa LaRopa and the bay from our king bed terrace room was amazing! The terrace was large with lounge chairs and a hammock. Nice for relaxing in the evening! Our room was very clean and the AC kept us cool. We selected breakfast included for our 7 day stay and were glad we did! I particularly liked the Huevos Rancheros! All breakfasts included fresh fruit, orange juice and bread with jam. The staff at the restaurant are excellent as well! Some things to keep in mind if planning to stay here. To get around the resort and down to the beach there are many steps to negotiate. For us it was ok after a few days we were comfortable with the steps. If you have problems with mobility you may find it difficult staying here. Also this is an older resort (I believe one of the first in the area )so there are some issues with maintenance for example missing railings on some walkways. Over all I didn't find this a big issue the age of the resort after all is part of its charm! Over all we really enjoyed our stay at the Catalina Beach Resort and would stay here again! Safe Travels!
