Great staff!! Chill vibes. Not a party resort.

The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive to your needs! Love them!! Under reconstruction rn so some areas closed; price was great though. Would love more activities, but it’s not the staffs fault—just make sure you’re coming with good folk to keep the fun alive!!

Authentic Jamaica stay

Absolutely amazing, we had the best time ever, even with the renovations taking place. The location was perfect, the atmosphere was great, and the food was delightful. No ask was ever too much for the staff. I was even fortunate to enjoy a few PT sessions with their knowledgeable instructor. Thank you so much, Catalonia, we will definitely be back to stay in the new build. Until we meet again, you will be missed.

Catalonia experience

Recently stayed at this hotel, surprising a friend for her 60th birthday. Upon arrival we were worried when saw all the buildings torn apart but the resort is under renovations. Lobby was inviting and beyond the lobby could see the ocean and pool. We arrived early around 1030 am so had to wait until after three for our room. This is a big pain on the first day but quite standard with most hotels. We booked ocean view and asked for higher floor. We were given room 1318 overlooking pool and great view of ocean. Nice room but if you sleep early and light this is not a good room as the show is every night by the pool and very loud.
Food was very good. A bit repetitive some days but we always found something. Only ate at one a la carte (Italian) and it was fantastic. Seafood pasta, lasagne and beef tenderloin all amazing.
Staff at hotel were hit and miss. Some appeared to not really enjoy being there while others were so kind. Shout out to Orrett( I think that’s his name) at pool bar for his wittiness and good drinks. The hostess at the buffet works so hard and we saw her every day and she greeted everyone with a smile. Latoya our maid kept our room in great condition.
The beach is ok. Due to renovations half the resort beach is off limits and the other side is closed off to another resort so if you are a beach walker this is not the resort for you. Also swimming in ocean is basically non-existent. Shallow water and sea grass is abundant. There are sandy paths around the island which can be walked. Saving chairs in morning needed to be done by 6 or you wouldn’t get shade. Resort needs more palapa’s for shade. There is a few shops outside resort if you are daring enough to cross the busy road. Montego Bay downtown is about ten minutes drive and 30 US taxi ride one way.
All in all we did have a good time but would probably not go back due to beach and location but for a budget holiday it is a good choice.

Nice hotel in a great setting.

Beautiful hotel in great setting, especially the beach and island. People are lovely. I would like to mention some of the staff who gave exceptional service. In the restaurant, Karen and Judian who were so friendly and kind. Robert on security who helped resolve a difficult situation and was very friendly. Lastly, Shenoya in Customer services who spent a lot of time finding UK football on the big screens for me.
My main complaint was the WiFi which was not very good especially in the bedroom and the beach. Even in the lobby, it was a bit patchy. Thank you Catalonia for a great vacation.

The Catalonia. This was my first but won't be my last time visiting this awesome resort

The Catalonia was my first all inclusive vacation in Jamaica. It's less than 10 minutes from the airport. The beach area was devine. My room was a decent size and very clean, though the bathroom was somewhat dated. Noise level was decent inside and outside of the hotel. I thought it was a great value for the money.

Review: Catalonia Resort – Montego Bay, Jamaica

Review: Catalonia Resort – Montego Bay, Jamaica

We’ve been to Jamaica many times over the years, and we were initially drawn to Catalonia Resort because of its price point and the strong online reviews. What we didn’t realize at first was that this property was formerly the Holiday Inn Sunspree — a resort I visited about 20 years ago. Unfortunately, much of it still feels the same, and our experience was disappointing overall.

To be quite frank, you get what you pay for. The food was mediocre at best, the staff lacked the upbeat and cheerful energy we’ve come to expect in Jamaica, and the amenities left much to be desired. The property itself is dated and in need of some fresh updates.

That said, the beach area and the small island just offshore were definite highlights — they’re beautiful and offer a nice escape from the otherwise underwhelming experience.

If your goal is to explore Jamaica through excursions and spend most of your time off-site, this resort could be a decent base. But if you’re looking to stay on property and truly relax in a vibrant, well-appointed environment, I wouldn’t recommend it — especially for seasoned travelers with higher expectations.

Elsa & Serena, simple the best

My highlight was the kids club ladies Elsa & Serena, they made our stay unforgettable. Face painting, puppet making, lunch time. They did it all. I usually don't leave my kids when I'm on vacation however these two ladies were different. Their customer service was outstanding. @catalonia please cherish these ladies because if I could afford to higher them I wouldn't second guess it. The food was soo good (every meal), my only complaint was the entertainment or lack thereof,
it was mediocre. My house keeper did a great job, the room is always neat and clean. My over all experience was great, I'm definitely going back.

Catalonia Montego Bay Review Rating

Dismal

The old (1960’s) Holiday Inn changed to Catalonia. It is being refurbished. Majority of buildings are closed. It’s a “no star” place, at least at the moment. Food is varied but everything is fried. Hash browns literally fall apart due excess oil. Most restaurants are either closed or operated only a few days a week. Online menus don’t match what restaurants served, nor times open. Reservations only by online booking which would freeze. Chaos in the buffet area. Only allowing some many ppl in at a time. There are dead spots during the day where food is not available anywhere on the property. Room ok but doors were warped so would not closed. Bath tub water pressure so low it would take a month to fill the tub, oddly shower ok.
One plus… Sandra our room maid was attentive & professional. Thank you Sandra.
If arriving my rental car, parking is a flaming nightmare. That’s after you get thru the security who take your name,& do nothing with it. No airport shuttle, just taxi that they order for you.
People….clients not the best. Twice pool closed because same kid crapped in it. Ppl eating at the buffet stations, taking stuff with their hands. I watched an 8(?) yo kid take the entire tray of bacon ..over 2lbs. His parents seemed obvious. Either local or American black ppl were the vast majority. Some Latinos.
Checkin was an aggregation … too long to do it or not enough staff or both.
We chose this place because it claimed kid friendly. Also because it is relatively close to the airport. There did not appear to be any organized kids programs.There is more but above paints the picture.
Overall pass on this place, many more family places that are far better..
