The Catamaran Resort is an absolute gem and a perfect Polynesian inspired retreat that transports you the moment you arrive. The tropical plants and lush landscaping throughout the property are absolutely stunning, creating a serene, exotic atmosphere that feels worlds away from everyday life. The staff truly makes this place special. Front desk associate Marianna was amazing, warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. In fact, the entire team was outstanding, going above and beyond to ensure every guest felt taken care of. Their hospitality is second to none. If you’re looking for a beautiful, relaxing escape with incredible surroundings and top notch service, the Catamaran Resort delivers on every level. Can’t wait for the tower renovation. The updated lower units were excellent. Highly recommend!

Hotel is in a great location. Close to the Beach and the Bay. Not far from the Airport, Zoo, La Jolla or even downtown. Room and the grounds were clean and well kept. Pool and Hot tub were nice. We were just there so some amenities are not available in the off season, but still plenty to in San Diego. We had a great stay.
