Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa

We’re upgraded to a room with view over bay which was stunning, great room, big lounge, separate bedroom, 2 massive TV’s. Hotel entrance stunning water features and carp.

The location was perfect. I was a solo female traveling & I was 100% comfortable at any hour of the day! The staff is beyond polite & accommodating. Food at every spot in the resort is quality if you don't wanna venture. But the bartenders- they're exceptional! Again solo female going in late for that last cocktail and they were personable and all around service focused. The Bayfront king suite rooms are the way to go, the view is exceptional and stunning. Tower room/ resort views are tricky. If you get Bayfront view you are good if not and you get partial ocean/ city view rooms, it's an entire vibe change! It's just the way the property is laid out. Property is well kept with a Polynesian vibe. Cannot wait to come back.

The Catamaran is an icon in San Diego. It captures the feel of Hawaii with water features and lush tropical plants. The restaurant and bar are just great. It is right on the bay and has gorgeous views. We had an older room, but it was fine- clean and comfortable with a small kitchen. The grounds are extensive and the pool is great. Is the property showing its age?-Yes, but we loved that nothing much has changed at this hotel over its historic existence. The staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. We live in the San Diego area and this is a favorite staycation spot. Any recreational activity is available and you can walk everywhere. We get a little tired of the big box hotels with their huge fancy lobbies but small cookie cutter rooms. This is one of a kind!

I absolutely love the Catamaran Resort and Spa!!!! I have stayed here before and it is the perfect location. I did rent a car, but you don't need one. Everything you could want is within walking distance. Pacific Beach is phenomenal, a 2 minute walk, #22 lifeguard station . You're right on the bay, gorgeous views all around. The pool is fun, the water activities are splendid and the food, oh yeah, delicious. They have a luau every Tuesday and Friday, live music too. The resort is lush and tropical. Birds, coy and parrots.. oh my. I'll definitely be back!!

I have stayed at the Catamaran a few times- and each time the service is great. I was celebrating my birthday on this trip and requested a view of the bay, but had a view of the parking structure instead. It was disappointing, but not a deal breaker as we didn't spend a lot of time in the room.
