I am so disappointed with this property. Everything started with the check in, the receptionist was no nice, I paid for upgrade, I spend a good money to get a better room and I got a room with a lot of noise next to the elevator room 1151. My husband send a email to the manager , President and vice president and we never got any email back. Very disrespectful. The food was so bad, we end up going out every day for breakfast and dinner. The resort Bahia was above and beyond, better resort, better service and better food. Next time I will go back to the Bahia resort. We wanted to try out the Catamaran Resort hotel, never again!!!!!

We originally booked a resort view but as it was our 15th Anniversary they upgraded us to the tower overlooking the parking garage with a semi view of both the ocean and bay. I was skeptical after reading some reviews but we had our 3 daughters with us and the kitchenette came in handy. The rooms are outdated but clean and the bed seemed new / comfortable. We stayed July 3rd thru the 7th. Wasn't anything to do with the hotel but we heard illegal fireworks all night/every night, along with police sirens. One of the tower elevators was also out of order so we either had to wait in line for the one working elevator or depending on what we were carrying, take the stairs 8 stories up/down. The restaurant on site was expensive but there are other options within walking distance. Being right on the bay is why we chose this resort and it did not disappoint. Felt comfortable letting the kids swim and paddleboard. Overall, we all agreed that we'd stay there again if we are in the area.

Catamaran Resort and Spa is situated well for a beautiful bayfront experience with the family. The bayfront was well-kept with the grounds clean, and the sidewalk that lines the bay was wide enough for pedistrians, bikers, skates, and scooters to share. Service was excellent with friendly, professional staff, paying attention to timely responses with guest needs. However, we stayed in the tower building, and it needs a makeover. The hotel's age is hard to miss. The sliding screen door leading to the balcony was broken. We didn't bring attention to the finding because we had no intentions to utilize the balcony. The toilet bowl lacked water pressure to flush, requiring us to hold down the lever and flush twice. By the second night, we had to call housekeeping to clear the toilet. Like mentioned before, staff responded timely. Additionally, all of the furniture, kitchen appliances, and carpeting show their age. For the price of the nightly rate, we didn't feel the luxurious claim. Would we return? Yes, overall we enjoyed our vacation, and nothing beats their property's location to enjoy the PB boardwalk and bay activities.

The property needs updating, paint peeling, furniture is out dated. The location is awesome, right on the bay and a block from the beach and eateries. The staff were friendly, overall. Housekeeping was very inconsistent, had to call for items missed every day and didn’t get service on some days during our stay.
