A beachfront location, thatched-roof rooms, and acres of greenery – the Catalonia Yucatan Beach offers a true taste of the tropics. This beachfront property is haloed by tropical gardens. Among the greenery you’ve got four pools and four eateries, plus Caribbean-esque rooms dressed in warm terracotta and oak wood. There’s a real castaway feel to the hotel. Thatched-roof buildings peek out from in between tall palm trees, and it all opens out onto a milk-white beach. It's a little rocky, so you might want to pack some water shoes in your suitcase if you fancy a sea swim.
