There were small flies in our room before we entered our room, the room was small, the people upstairs were making lots of noise early morning and we have two small children that were awaken by the noise and the room was next to parking garage.

The view from the Tower (Bay View) was incredible. The room was clean and we loved sitting out on the balcony, set with a bistro sized table and two chairs. The view is a big plus. That being said, the room and tower in general need some updating. The decor is kinda 90’s tropical. Outdated. I didn’t like the bathroom set up. It’s one of those with a toilet, shower and a pedestal sink, and no room for all of your toiletries that you need. There’s a vanity outside the bathroom that is in a semi-private area, with a counter where you would put all of your toiletries. It would be fine if traveling with a significant other or alone, but being with my kids, it was a struggle to have privacy having to grab things from the vanity area and going back & forth without being seen lol. Just an inconvenience. The sofa in the room could use some updating due to wear and tear. I think the poolside view rooms and the bay front rooms in the bungalow looking buildings are more modern and updated. It’s a trade off situation because the tower rooms have an excellent view and is quieter because you’re higher up. I was pleasantly surprised though that our room had a kitchenette with a microwave, mini fridge and an air fryer/oven. What I loved about this resort is the grounds. So beautiful and lush. Love the koi pond that runs around the property. It really feels like you’re in a tropical paradise. We loved the onsite free arcade! There’s a $300 deposit they will have to hold until after c/o.

Catamaran is a beautiful hotel, we are repeat guests. I booked through Expedia, Garden View room and was give a standard parking lot view. The reception desk was not helpful, refused to give us the room we booked. I was very disappointed, put a negative spin on our whole stay. The lack of customer service was astounding.

Family Getaway

This resort was so beautiful and made us feel like we really were in an island. From the moment we arrived, valet was very friendly, front desk staff efficient, concierge/bellhop very accommodating. The room was a perfect size for two adults and two young children. The beds were very comfortable. The entire resort was very family friendly and there were alot of activities for kids and guests of all ages. The private Bay Area was really nice and being able to walk across the street to mission beach is really accessible. We didn’t eat at the resort but the menu looked amazing! Lava Java was delicious. Very eager to stay here again!
