Beautiful Beach, Ocean, & Property...A lot left to be desired.
The beach and the ocean were amazing, truly world class white sand and water with amazing sunsets. You had to get a chair early to ensure you had a space to enjoy for the day, but we always managed. The beach bars were relatively easy to navigate and occasionally had serves taking orders. We didn't spend much time in the pools, but there was plenty of seating and seemed peaceful.
Rooms: We paid for the 2-floor suite with a plunge pool. The rooms are well appointed and modern and really quite enjoyable. The real downside is that the hotel holds their evening entertainment in the common area below these specific rooms (only on one block of rooms had these type of rooms on the property) and if you wanted to go to bed before 11 it was nearly impossible. Just be warned if you do book these rooms that it will likely be very loud. The rooms were clean and in spite of some mixups with no soap left or toilet paper in a bathroom (just once) the cleaning service was commendable.
Food: In general, it was not good. You never go to an all-inclusive thinking the food will be great, but this was particularly unappetizing. The Royal Catalonia specific restaurants for lunch were better than the other spots for lunch & dinner, but don't expect much.
Staff: Some of the bar staff had moments of friendliness, but in general there were a number of forgotten requests or long delays in service when seated for a meal.
