Are there any activities outside of Catalonia Playa Maroma?

You can spend your entire time inside the resort and have an amazing time.

But, Mexico is a beautiful place so I’d always recommend exploring away from your wedding resort.

The team at PlayaDelCarmen.Com is locally based and we can arrange exciting and fun tours and activities for you.

Plus, we’ll get you the best deals.

One of my personal favorite tours is the “Chichen Itza Tour.”

You get to explore the magical ruins and a guided tour is included.

Then, you can spend time swimming in a cenote.

How fabulous is that?

9. What Brides Said…

“We just returned from our wedding trip! We had both family and friends with us…We were a big group of 29 with many personalities and differing needs, whether that was mobility issues or fussy eaters. The staff here are AMAZING. Even the most challenging issues (and there were more than a few) were handled with the utmost care and consideration.”

Chandra78

If you are looking for an elegant, beautiful, intimate location for your wedding this is the place! The staff was VERY professional and polite. My wedding included about 20 guests, all of whom stayed there! Mayra who is in charge of wedding planning took care of every detail making our day feel as if it was only us on the beach! Our guests not only loved our event but loved the resort! I can’t emphasize enough how amazing the staff is (Luis-server at buffet, Martha- Pool waitress, only the two I recall names for, but all of them were superb)! !!! I was debating on a wedding in Chicago or here and I am SOOO happy I chose Playa Maroma.”

In the case of Catalonia Playa Maroma, I’m especially a fan of:

One minor point to be aware of is the sometimes strong current off the beach.
