The hotel

This authentic basic resort sits on the edge of a half-mile stretch of sandy beach. Offering clean, simple accommodation at a good price, it’s great for families with rooms spacious enough for everyone. If you’re part of a large family or group, some rooms are also conveniently interconnected. Families will appreciate the spacious beach and water sport activities, whilst taking a swim over to the private island, which will keep the little ones occupied. Adults have a dedicated pool (when booking a Privilege room type), spa and fitness centre if you can pull yourself away from the sun bed!

Poor booking system. Despite booking by phone for 2 twin rooms when we arrived we were offered two double rooms. We are are 4 friends who prefer to have a single bed and had paid more to book that option.

Must make special mention of the dining room manager Mr. Glenbert he was a gem 💎 along with his team, the bartender were also superb , shout out also to the bartender in the Players Sports Bar who worked on Monday July 14th.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Catalonia hotel in Montego Bay and I want to big up my housekeeper Annmarie she made my room very comfortable. Also big up Elsa and Serena from the children’s club, they made my son very comfortable and welcoming. The food needs improvement but apart from that the entertainment crew made the stay worthwhile.

Thank you so much to Elsa and Serena who run the kids club! The kids had such a great time, they are telling all their friends about the pool and kids club. Thanks for giving them a great experience and giving me a few moments to myself.
