Limited dining options but quick 100 peso taxi into centro. Built against a cliff so the inherent many stairs are difficult for older or non-fit people. Makes for a good workout. Beach access very good. Staff on the grounds, restaurant, and reception could not be better.

A very lovely week's stay at the Catalina Beach Resort. The pool was just perfect. The staff were so accommodating and the Sunset bar was so great. Our room was cleaned daily and I loved the towel arrangements that were created for us. The bed was nicely firm and so comfortable. A very enjoyable stay!

Staff was lovely, the rooms & public spaces had excellent views; the breakfast that was included was ample & delicious. The beach area was immaculate. Food was good, great location & reasonably priced. Wait staff Hector & Julia were exceptionally kind. I had a massage & mani-pedi at Joy Spa located at the hotel. Danielle was an excellent masseuse- all my aches & pains melted away as I lay there, while listening to the sounds of the waves. Elisabeth did my mani-pedi - she was very warm & kind & my nails look great.
