The Catamaran is the perfect location for families or couples looking to getaway. The lobby feels like you are in Hawaii and the bay is beautiful. We rented a Hobie Cat sailboat (right from the property) one afternoon and sailed the bay. We were able to park the car and walk to tons of restaurants for dinners etc. It was an excellent staycation for us!

The only good thing about the hotel is its location and the view from the hotel room balcony. The room was very dated and out of date, not what I would expect of a 4* hotel. The pool was very small considering the size of the hotel and the number of guest that are able to stay. Overall you really don't get much for the money you pay per night at this hotel.

Our room had excellent proximity to the bay and the long walking path around it, great for walks with morning coffee. The hotel is close to the ocean, restaurants, etc, but away from the noise. The pool area was clean, shaded, and offered drink/snack service. We really enjoyed using the free bayside shaded chairs in the grass, although they seemed a bit old & uncomfortable. The exotic birds on site were fun! We even enjoyed listening to the hotel luau from our room - couldn’t see the stage due to a large tree, but enjoyed the music! Overall a great place we’d love to visit again.

Breathtaking views, family friendly environment, great place to stay with kids, amazing food at the Oceana restaurant, lovely beach. The only downside is old bathrooms. It really needs a good renovation- a walking shower, new tiles and walls would attract more guests there specially younger generations.
