Riviera Maya HELP

Ok so I have two hotels I am trying to decide between..the Valentin Imperial Maya or the Catalonia Royal Tulum. Which one would you choose in your opinion?
I have checked out trip advisor and they are both rated fairly close.

Check out the PROS & CONS of both. Please let me know what you would choose and why.  *** PLEASE do not tell me about other hotels. These are the two we have it narrowed down to.  If you stayed at either one of these two please share your experiences!


Valentin Imperial Maya:

Pros:
Good beach with clear water, Huge pool, Larger resort with lots of stuff to do, Food and drinks are great, Better rooms, Great shell beach, Entertaining night life,

Cons:
Windy on beach at times, Can be semi-rocky on beach,  Lacks a close bathroom near beach (one at restaurant nearby), More expensive ($486 difference from Catalonia) 



Catalonia Royal Tulum:

Pros:
Better, beautiful beach with sandy bottom, Excellent service, Could afford the honeymoon suite, Rooms are back in the jungle (5 min walk to beach)Tropical feel, Small, quiet, romantic, laid back 

Cons:
Busy beach because it’s so nice, Smoking on beach from Europeans (might be a nude beach??? Have to look into that), No much shade on beach or many cabanas, Food is just ok from what I gather - Very Americanized..someone said “chemical taste”, overly sweet drinks?, No nightlife, nothing to do in the evenings around the resort, Traffic can make 1-2 hour commute from airport (50 miles), Rooms are dated, No view of ocean only Jungle (5 min walk to beach)
