Beautiful grounds, OK rooms

The grounds are gorgeous! Lush, with lots of exotic birds, ducks, etc. The rooms are OK, which is fine since you aren't spending much time there, anyway. I had a bay view deluxe room, which was somewhat noisy at night because people would party on the bay beach. Someone also banged on my door one evening and ran away, which I don't think would happen at a better place. You never know, though. I'd stay there again, but I'd prefer somewhere else.
The Atoll restaurant is OK, but more expensive than many other places you can walk to that are just as good.
Amazing Resort

We had a great stay at the Catamaran Resort the first week of August 2008. The location is amazing. The resort is right on Mission Bay. We rented a sailboat and had a relaxing sail one day. The sand there is clean, and the bay is very calm. This would be a perfect beach for families with small kids. The resort puts out some chairs and umbrellas, but you have to get there early in the morning to snag one. They fill up fast. There is a beach attendant with towels and the serve food and beverages all day. Just across the street is Mission Beach. That part of the beach is mostly tourist families with good waves for boogie boarding and surfing. We liked the beach a lot! The food at the hotel restaurants was fine and we found it to be a good value. The pool was great and they had live music for happy hour. Our room worked out well for us. We had a suite with two double beds and a pullout sofa. There was a kitchen with a stove, refrigerator, microwave, and a few dishes, utensils, and pots and pans. There's a Ralphs just down the street for groceries. We had a nice deck with a garden view. The grounds are well maintained, and the staff was very friendly. We rode the Bahia Belle one night to watch the fireworks from SeaWorld. My son loved the free arcade and spent a lot of his free time there. All in all, we had a great stay and would stay at the Catamaran Resort again.

I was delegated to plan a family reunion for 16 people and decided upon the Catamaran Hotel in San Diego after visiting other sites. Of course, as the event grew nearer,some of the negative reviews concerned me. You needn't worry. From the location of the rooms(we were on the upper tower floors where one could see the Bay and the ocean, and impeccable service,(thank you to Rosanna in catering and her fabulous staff), to the front desk and the housekeepers,and the beach crew, we were(all 16 if you can beleieve it), extremely satisfied. We decided this is where we will meet as a family every summer. In fact my sister, who has stayed in very high end resorts in Newport and Laguna beach, stated that the service surpassed those other resorts. I also want to commend the manager at World Famous restaurant(Daniel) for being so accomodating. Thanks again to the Catamaran for helping us make this trip a real "memory maker!" x

It is a very nice hotel complete with exotic birds and koi ponds. Our room was on the eleventh floor with a view of the bay and ocean. We were also given a free sunset cruise of the bay upon arrival. The pool was well-kept and had its own bar. It was very near Seaworld. Our room was spotless and the staff were very friendly and helpful. My only complaint: my four year old woke up on the hide-a-bed and managed to open the door to our room at 2:00a.m. I wish there was a bolt on the door or a chain for young children. I heard the door so he didn't get far. Overall, my family enjoyed the hotel, its pool, location, and beach.
Great location with great views all around

My group and I were very happy with the Catamaran Resort. We had tower rooms and could see both Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The grounds were very impressive with tropical foliage and numerous ponds to view coy fish and the various water fowl that live on the property. We like that we were in close walking distance to the beach and restaurants. They even had nightly party on a replica river boat that cruised the bay and that was a lot of fun as well.
