Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this resort, enjoying the peaceful ambiance and the beautiful views of Mission Bay. The accommodations were spacious and provided comfortable lounging options, though they could use some modern updates for a more polished feel. Dining at Oceana was a highlight, with a variety of delicious meals. The location is fantastic with easy access to both beaches, but the pool area can get busy at times. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and I would gladly return for another visit.
We had a wonderful stay at the hotel with breathtaking views and well-maintained grounds. The rooms were clean and spacious, but they could really benefit from some updates as some furnishings felt quite outdated. The dining options were diverse and enjoyable, particularly at the on-site Oceana Restaurant, though the timing of beach chair service was frustrating. Overall, the location near Mission Bay was fantastic, providing easy access to outdoor activities.
I absolutely loved my stay at the Catamaran Resort and Spa! The breathtaking location by the bay made every moment special. The rooms were lovely, particularly those with bay views. The staff was incredibly attentive and helpful, making the whole experience feel extra special. Dining at the Oceana was delightful, but I do wish there was more variety on the menu. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway with a few minor areas for improvement.
Staying at the Catamaran Resort was an amazing experience! We were welcomed with fantastic views and thoughtful touches that made my daughter's and son's birthdays truly special. The service, especially from May, was absolutely exceptional, and there were so many fun activities available for the family. However, while the rooms were comfortable, they could use some updates to match the beautiful surroundings.
I recently stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. The location is absolutely stunning, with access to both the bay and the Pacific Ocean, ideal for outdoor activities. The service was impressive, with staff going out of their way to be accommodating. My only complaint would be the booking system, which could use some improvements. Overall, it felt like excellent value for money, especially with the quality of the dining options and amenities available.
I had a fantastic stay at Catamaran, which we've been returning to for eight years now. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the atmosphere felt incredibly safe during the pandemic with all the health measures in place. The family-friendly activities kept everyone entertained. However, there were just a few concerns about some guests not wearing masks properly. Overall, it was a much-needed family getaway and we had an excellent time.
I had a wonderful time at the resort! The location is unbeatable, right on Mission Bay with beautiful views. The grounds are filled with lovely flora and fauna, and the pool area is a great spot to unwind. While the rooms are spacious, they do feel a bit dated compared to other places we've stayed. The service was generally friendly, but I had a minor hiccup with check-in that didn’t set the tone I hoped for. Overall, the value for money is decent, especially considering the dining options and activities for families.
My stay at this resort was quite enjoyable due to its beautifully maintained grounds and the exceptional customer service from staff like Slobodan. The room I stayed in had a great view of the bay, but I did encounter some issues with cleanliness and the bathroom plumbing which detracted from the experience. Overall, I appreciated the diverse dining options and the fun family activities available, but the noise from outside detracted slightly from the peaceful vibe I hoped for.
The Catamaran is an amazing spot with a serene atmosphere right on the bay. I really enjoyed the beautiful views and the pool area was a fun place to unwind. Although the rooms were a bit dated and could use some upgrades, the dining options and service were top-notch. Pricing was on the higher side, especially with extra fees for parking and late check-out, but the great experiences made it worth it in the end.
