Catalonia Royal Tulum–A Resort Review

I stayed at this resort from July 7-11, 2021 as a solo traveler.  While I originally chose CRT for its beautiful Xpu-Ha beach location, the massive amount of incoming sargassum made it impossible to get into the ocean or fully appreciate the natural beauty of this beach area during my time here.  However, I did enjoy my stay; hopefully this review will help others to decide whether the beach is the draw at CRT, or whether a resort booking here is worth it regardless of the sargassum situation.

What’s Your Impression of Catalonia Royal Tulum?

Has anyone stayed at this resort?  If my Kauai vacation doesn’t work out for May I am thinking of booking Catalonia Royal Tulum for a larger group of individuals.  Seems pretty low key but in a great jungle setting with a beautiful beach (Xpu-Ha).  Just down the road from Barcelo Riviera Maya mega-resort with nearby cenotes.  Anyone been to Coba ruins leaving from this area of the Riviera Maya?  I’ve been to Chichen Itza and want to climb a pyramid this time.  Juan (my new go-to private driver for vacation excursions from FriendsTravelCancun) tells me he can take my party anywhere in Cancun and the Riviera Maya so I will be using him for transport as needed.
