Thank you!

You're welcome! It really is a great option in that area.

I really liked both. The beach at playa Maroma is nicer in my opinion, since it didn't have as much debris on the sand, as costa mujeres. Although playa Maroma is older, it is well taken care of, and very clean so the grounds and rooms were both great in my opinion. Playa Maroma grounds are much smaller than Costa Mujeres. But I liked that since there's less walking from place to place (for food, pool, beach) Obviously the aesthetics are different from one to the other, so I did get a more beachy feel at Playa Maroma, but they're both equally great when it comes to quality of service, food, and cleanliness. If you don't mind a smaller resort then it's really great. You can't beat the food options that Catalonia resorts give you for the price. If you like the pool, then there's only one, so you can't get away to the quiet pool if the other is too loud or vice versa at Playa Maroma. I don't know if it was just my experience, but I went in the beginning of December 2022 to Costa Mujeres and beginning of December to Playa Maroma, yet playa Maroma seemed less crowded. The restaurants were pretty empty when we ate there and even Bloved was mostly empty every time we went (at Costa Mujeres we had to wait around a couple of times) also, Playa Maroma was very noticeably filled with mostly European guests and while speaking to staff, they said that's always the case.

Hi! You do not need to make reservations to eat at Bloved and they're open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and yes, there are privilege buildings in different locations throughout. They've been pretty good at accommodating me with my request for a room. I've been to one of their other locations and both times they got me as close to the beach from what was available.

@@chuytravels Is there ever a long wait time at beloved since there are no reservations, also would you consider the food there alot better than the buffet? Thanks for the response, this is very helpful

When we went, there were no Wait times. The inside is pretty small, but on the outside there's plenty of tables. The times we ate outside, we were the only ones out there, except for one time when there was a couple there. I found the buffet surprisingly good with lots of variety, but the food at Bloved is more upscale. Like something you'd find at a nice restaurant in the US or Canada. It was very fresh and tasty. It was nice to eat with the view of the beach, and having someone wait on you. If you go to the buffet during peak hours, you may have to wait in line for certain foods that are being prepared by the cooks.

It's a Coatí! It's in the racoon family, so basically Mexican jungle racoons lol. They're super good climbers though.
