Staying at the Catamaran Resort was an unforgettable experience! The breathtaking views and charming Polynesian style make it a slice of paradise. The staff went above and beyond to enhance our stay, though the rooms did feel a bit dated. Overall, we enjoyed a fantastic vacation with wonderful dining options and a great pool area.

I had a fantastic stay at the Catamaran Resort, which is nestled beautifully between Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The cleanliness and comfort of the rooms truly impressed me, although I did notice they showed signs of age. The staff’s attentiveness made our experience even better, and the scenic views from various spots around the resort were magnificent. However, I found the parking fees to be a bit excessive, which put a slight dent in the overall value.

My stay at the resort was a mix of highs and lows. The staff were genuinely warm and welcoming, and the location offered beautiful views of the grounds. However, the room itself was quite outdated and didn't meet my expectations for a spa hotel. I enjoyed the amenities around the property, but the condition of the room was a significant downside.

Unfortunately, the room felt more like a dated motel than a penthouse suite. Numerous issues such as rattling doors and old fixtures really affected my experience. I would rate the room a 4 out of 10.

This charming hotel offers a unique tropical vibe with lovely scenery, including gardens and ponds filled with koi and ducks. The rooms are clean but show signs of age, and while the grounds are beautiful and well-kept, some renovations are needed inside the rooms for a more modern feel. The location by the beach is fantastic, but the high price tag may not reflect the experience for everyone.

We had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The view from our room was mesmerizing, and we loved the feeling of being so close to both the beach and Mission Bay. While the staff was incredibly welcoming, we did notice some areas in the hotel could use an upgrade, especially in the rooms. The dining options were lovely, especially with the breakfast offered beachside, but there were moments when the food could have been more varied. Overall, it was a memorable trip, and we would definitely consider coming back!
