Catalonia Royal Tulum - An Honest Review

What’s is Special About Catalonia Royal Tulum

Catalonia Royal Tulum is unique because of the presence of iguanas and coatis, making it a hidden gem within the tropical jungle. Its stone pathways, wooden bridges, and koi fish ponds contribute to the dreamy jungle ambiance. Even though it is an adults-only resort, there are many plenty of activities to enjoy both inside and outside the resort. However, the main purpose of this resort is to provide a relaxing environment to unwind on the white-sand beach.

The Privileged Guest package is all-inclusive and allows for unlimited food and drinks from 7 on-site dining establishments. It also provides access to the fitness center, reserved beach loungers, daily activities, and non-motorized water sports. However, you will need to pay for some extra fees for the spa and RUAXA theater.
