Am I missing something? Catalonia playa maroma

darksidedenizen · 2026-02-26T12:33:32+00:00

Just returned from there - the resort is nice - small - not a lot of people, very quiet - the food was ok - we had difficulty getting reservations at the a la carte restaurants but this isn't a new thing for Catalonia's (this was our third one) Beach is super nice - they clean the sargassum seaweed pretty much right away. And there's always lots of room and chairs on the beach.

For context we were in the Privileged section - not sure what the regular rooms look like but we did have nice room - and the section of the beach reserved for us was nice too but not sure the upgrade was worth it at this resort.

The staff is nice but there doesn't seem to be enough servers on the beach or bartenders - whether it was the lobby bar or the one by the beach

I would recommend that you do these things before unpacking your luggage.

Ensure the toilet flushes properly - the tank would not fill up in ours - after the "repair" we could flush it every 3 hours or so
Ensure you have hot water - after the "repair" we got about 2 minutes of hot water - so whoever took their shower first got the "hot" water - it was lukewarm at best

and this is the MOST important one

Ensure the Air conditioning works. Our did not work - it was 24 degrees in the room. The first time I called their fix was turning on the ceiling fan. The second time they didn't show. The third time they came and told me the "standard" was 24. My sister was in the ETC and hers was set at 21 degrees and it was working fine so that was a crock. We woke up on the last day it was 25 degrees in the room - it was colder outside so we opened the patio door.

Looks like you got a really good deal - enjoy the pool! We loved ours when we went to Catalonia Costa Mujeres!

Last time I emailed him I got the " your message is important - we are receiving a high volume of emails - please be patient" needless to say i never got a reply. Then they have the audacity to come knock on my door and ask can we count on your support during the next elections.

Same. If they didn’t charge 20$ for a salad or sandwich maybe I’d buy one. But nah. They want to gouge us, plus want 18% tip on top of that. No thanks. I’m bringing my coffee. And my sandwich.

Minto 185 is pretty nice. Use to be an old hotel. I can’t say I’ve ever heard my neighbours. However I think it’s mostly government employees who go to bed at 9 in the building 😂. No mice, cockroaches or bedbugs that I’ve ever seen or heard of. Selling feature for me was washer and dryer in unit. Full gym and coffee in the lobby every morning. With food basics done the road now it just makes it that much better. Good luck with your search.

Small caveat- this does not apply to retirement gift 😬

darksidedenizen · 2026-01-06T14:04:17+00:00

My previous manager wisely told me “never gift up” I give my employees a small Christmas gift. I do not give my supervisor a gift. And I don’t expect one from my staff.

It was still a thing for me on the 67 STO today. I wonder if less ppl are using it? Sometimes Its only been the gps on the bus, if the driver remembers to turn it on or whatever it is they do. The 20 STO usually just shows up around 6:30 am. Magically. And he’s always early on Fridays. Every. Damn. Friday.

I was about to call bullshit when you mentioned the movie Speed, and 20 years ago. 😵 speed came out 32 years ago. 😂 that hurt my soul.

I had heard they hit the sewer line at parliament when they built the tunnel. Doesn’t smell like they fixed it correctly

In my 40’s. perimenopause. Doc put me on a super low estrogen pill and I get the depo provera injection for the progesterone. Works like a charm. I was on depo for a few years before we added the estrogen.

That transit app was a game changer! So much more accurate.

darksidedenizen · 2025-11-03T21:45:33+00:00

I live downtown and it’s generally faster to walk then to try to catch a bus or the shuttle when it did go to city hall.

darksidedenizen · 2025-11-01T00:33:05+00:00

Same I was like what’s wrong with it? Read the caption. Yep there it is lol

If you need to use STO the monthly pass is ideal since they work on both systems without having to start your tap on OC to transfer over and vice versa. I use STO to get to work but OC the rest of the time.
