Everything about the Catamaran exceeded my expectations. From the moment you walk in you are encompassed by the presence of a rainforest. Immediately upon checking in with the front desk you enter the campus filled with luscious trees/greenery, wild life (ducks, parrots, koi fish, etc.), and sunshine due to the wide open air. The suites are absolutely stunning and I highly recommend getting a room right on the sand with steps away from the bay waterfront. Will be back again and again and AGAIN!

The facility is old and is not worth the price AT ALL. The cleaning was very bad. Hair in the sink, bugs in the bathroom, sheets that smelled like marijuana… The staff is friendly though, very nice access to the beach. The gym is amazing for a hotel gym though, the best point of the property. After reading reviews, it seems I stayed in what customers call “ the tower of terror”, I can confirm it is. I could hear everything that was happening in the room next to me, constant noises in the hallway, LOUD noises day and night. I wouldn’t recommend staying here for the price. It seems that there are renovated rooms but I guess I did not get lucky…
