This was our first stay here. The resort itself is lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful, though no one went out of their way to help us. My allergies really started up inside our room. I dropped something behind the bed and had to move the mattress out of the way to retrieve it. I couldn't believe the amount of dust there. That explained why I had trouble breathing at night and in the room. One afternoon we returned back to our room after a day at the beach and found our door was open. The staff had already cleaned our room and gone. This is so concerning to us, so I immediately went to the lobby to complain and discuss. I was told the security would look at footage and look into it and call me. That never happened. We were so bothered by this as safety is a main concern and priority for us.

This property is not at all worth the hefty price we paid per night $506 for a filthy room, from the very outdated furniture that was disgustingly dirty such as the couch and the chairs in the living room area and the sliding glass door had child’s hand prints all over it from the guests before us. The floors were still also dirty with crumbs in the kitchen and the bathroom had some mold on the tile grout. Besides all this the location was nice on the bay. We’ve stayed here before years ago and honestly it didn’t look like the place has been renovated at all since the 90’s. For the owners of this property, shame on you for “price gouging” guests per night for this place and getting away with it all these years. Embarrassing for those coming from out of state and abroad and what they must think paying such astronomical fees for what they get. Had a guest from Germany come up to us asking about what our thoughts were about the property and tipping on services. Luckily we only had a one night reservation cuz we couldn’t wait to check out the next morning. Hope they consider a renovation on this property sooner than later, wishful thinking I’m afraid.

This property has significant potential to be amazing based on its location. However, the rooms in the tower are outdated, and the amenities around the property are average too good. I would still recommend anyone considering this area to stay at this property, but there are clearly other properties way above this such as the Del in Coronado Island.

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!

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.

The property itself is very nice but the tower rooms felt old and dingy, felt dated and not as clean, the run was cracked in corner and the kitchenette could be updated and seemed a little grungy. The closing doors could use some repair and the screen slide right off the tracks. For what the hotel charges in cost of room and resort fees it could be better maintained and updated.

The food, drinks and bar staff on the other hand were amazing. Best Caesar salmon I have had. The lady that checked us in was very helpful and gave us comped dinner and drink cards for my birthday and I did really appreciate that extra touch.

We’ve stayed in the liver level bay side rooms and they are great!

It is a nice Polynesian feel and we do enjoy the ambiance of the entire resort. Just wish the tower rooms were not to old and outdated for the price.

Stepping into the Lobby was awesome. Very tropical. The staff at check-in were very polite, as well as in the gift shop and at Java Lava. Those were the positives. However, we booked this “garden view” room a year ago to celebrate the 4th of July. For what we paid a night, we found the room to be under whelming. It was clean but very dated. Our “garden view” consisted of a balcony over a rooftop looking at the parking structure. Yes, there were palm trees to view but it was not what was claimed online. We also were in the Tower and would have rather been in the two story structure. The Housekeeper had no washcloths to offer. She said they didn’t have any. The toilets are very low- not good for elderly folks. The room has a mini-fridge but no microwave. Popcorn ceilings, no art on the wall and antique style furniture. The prices are outrageous for food and they include a service fee for the kitchen staff, Happy hour at Morays was decent. I would encourage anyone to go to the nearest store and buy food items if you don’t want to overpay for food. We attended the Luau and that was very nice and worth it for the money. We stayed 4 days and we would probably not return unless the prices were lower. It’s in a nice area of San Diego but there are other nice areas that are less money for the stay.

This hotel is great for families with young kids. The pool is isolated and kid friendly without a slew of rules requiring certain heights and life vests like some of the larger conglomerates. The pool food/beverage services provides options for the entire family and the food is great. The free arcade also helps keep the kids entertained. And there are family friendly events throughout the week that are fun for the kids. Movies on the lawn, bonfires/smores on the beach (through reservation), along with koi ponds and parrots will keep the kids occupied when not in the pool. Only a block from the beach provides easy access to the ocean and wonderful sunsets. There are lots of restaurant options in the area as well.

This has become our go to hotel when visited the San Diego area. Highly recommend!

Uncomfortable beds and pillows, smell of mildew in room, closet and balcony doors difficult to open. Housekeeping never left the number of towels and waters that equaled the number of guests. Our balcony view was of old clothes and plant debris that accumulated on the roof of the building’s entry way. The fish and the ducks were cute. The kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub.

Our experience was 3/5 stars. We didn’t get much rest, which made our experience less enjoyable since that’s what we booked for. There seemed to have been maintenance going on at all hours with pounding and dragging on the roof. So maybe ask about that before booking. The staff was friendly, the place was clean. However, we booked a resort room with a king bed and amenities. We were giving a totally different room, which would have been find if they communicated the change. I noticed because it wasn’t a king size bed and the amenities were different. So with that, I felt like they were trying to get one over on me not just because I didn’t get what I specifically booked and paid for but mainly due to the lack of communication. It was only because I noticed and said something. I called and they did offer to move us and waive the resort fees, which I appreciated. We ended up staying where they left us because it was more of a hassle to move (by that time we already had all our stuff in the room.) Staff said they could discount or do anything about the room difference because we prepaid and booked through Expedia. Almost as if they don’t like it. We also didn’t get the VIP Expedia perks that were listed when we booked that we normally get when we stay at other hotels. Other than that the place was nice and again staff was friendly. It is clean!

The property is lovely and well-maintained.The staff was friendly & helpful,for the most part.They seemed to be very understaffed & running out of stuff-out of cookies,out of sour dough bread, out of pool towels.Friday night of a 3-day weekend,the bartender was frantic-all alone & trying his best.By the time we got the drinks upstairs,they were too watered-down to enjoy.The glasses were never cleared out of the room during our 3-night stay.The housekeeping was spotty,not always replacing items such as the bathmat,water,or providing a pen.The pool service was the worst.Dirty dishes, leftover food, and towels on chairs were not removed.We didn't know where to sit. One afternoon, there were no clean towels. We were told that last call & close out was at 4:30 p.m.-really?We hurried to order drinks,closed out,the server disappeared,& we discovered that the drinks she brought were not the drinks that we had ordered.Other than breakfast,the food offerings were not vegetarian friendly.At dinner, dirty dishes were not cleared to make way for another course, water glasses were not refilled, & I was not even offered parmesan for my pasta,which,by the way, was tasteless, & the server never inquired as to why it was left uneaten.I think the beach chairs,etc.,should be reserved for guests & not the general public (I was told anyone could use them).There were noisy, unsupervised children in the pool area & little room for adults in the spa.

The staff were nice, friendly, and very helpful, which we really appreciated. The resort looks beautiful from the outside, but unfortunately the inside feels quite old and not well maintained. It seems like they might be very busy, so attention to detail is lacking, and overall it doesn’t match the pictures.

The parking lot is very small and tight, making it difficult to get in and out—especially with kids. It’s definitely not worth the $45 per day parking fee. Additionally, there is a resort fee that was not included in the original room price when we booked, which was disappointing.

Overall, while the service was great, the condition of the property and extra costs did not meet our expectations.

I arrived at pool at 3pm and no staff available to take drink orders or clean mess. I actually saw a hotel guest cleaning up because she said the mess was grossing her out.

We had an ocean view room that had the perfect view. The hotel was very family friendly and dog friendly. The boardwalk, lawn, lawn chairs and umbrellas were very enjoyable. There were lots of activities put on by the hotel and you could rent bikes, surreys, paddle boards and more right on the beach for a reasonable price. They had a partnership with Bayside Bonfires to put on bonfires on the beach. The hotel is located near lots of restaurants and bars. It’s just about right across the street from the Pacific Ocean and boardwalk. I would definitely stay there again.

We wanted to give it another try and we were not please again! I’m very sad because it’s a great place if it was updated and the cleaning service was good. Our water in the shower, leaked all night!

Beautiful property all around. The landscaping and design make you feel like you’re insulated from the outside world. Front desk was helpful and valet parking attendants were great. Kids enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and arcade after long days of exploring San Diego and the surrounding towns. It was nice to grab a quick coffee and breakfast item from the cafe and enjoy quietly by the bay each morning. The only complaints about staff/amenities involved the cafe and resort fees. It was frequently out of many items on the menu, and one of the ladies in charge was very rude and dismissive to guests and her coworkers when they inquired about particular items. Other cafe attendants were pleasant and friendly. The $300 extra charge at the end of the stay by the hotel was just too much.

Overall, we would stay here again if we return to San Diego. We could walk 2 minutes to Pacific Beach for surfing/dining, and it was close to Sea World and routes to other places we travelled.

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!

I recently stayed at the Catamaran Resort in San Diego and had a pleasant but mixed experience. On the positive side, the location is fantastic, the grounds are absolutely beautiful, and the private beach access is a wonderful perk that we truly enjoyed. While we had a good time overall, I found the resort to be a bit overpriced for the level of service provided.
The property and guest rooms are starting to show their age and could definitely use some updates to justify the premium price point. When compared to more affordable local options like The Dana or the Bahia, the Catamaran didn't feel significantly more upscale.
The service was the most inconsistent part of our stay. Specifically, the staff at the bar were not very welcoming or friendly, and our room went uncleaned for the first two days we were there. Additionally, the poolside dining experience was a bit disorganized; staff would drop orders at a communal table and walk away, leaving guests to figure out which meal belonged to whom.
While we enjoyed the scenery and the stay was fine, the lack of hospitality and the need for property updates make it hard to choose this over less expensive, comparable hotels in the area. I likely wouldn't return given the other high-value options nearby.

Ate at the Ocean twice and food was great both times and service attentive. We're in the tower and the view of the bay and large suite were awesome. It is an older place with popcorn ceilings and no bellman to help with bags or locating you unit. Check-in was awesome accommodating our early arrival. It's a great beach resort at which I.would.like to spend a week.

We’ve stayed here numerous times. It’s a great location. Front desk staff Joanna is always a pleasure to be greeted by.
Booking here is a bit anxiety inducing-you never know what the condition of the rooms will be. For the price I feel you should feel confident knowing your room will be clean and in good repair-not always the case. This one had a terrible smell-not necessarily the mold smell that’s common but something else -perhaps carpet at a beachfront isn’t the best idea. Also the bed needs to be replaced and hard surfaces like nightstands, dressers, desks, phones, remotes should be cleaned between guests as standard practice. This room had not been.

Rooms are old. Needed updating and could use better cleaning. Outdoor property is beautiful.

Wonderful hotel for families right near the bay and the beach. Walkable to restaurants, shopping and beach. Pool is great. And warm hot tub. Really pretty, tropical grounds.
