My wife and I spent our 20th Wedding Anniversary weekend at the Catamaran Resort Hotel (3 days) - We had a ground floor water front room and we couldn't ask for anything more for the price. Being that this was the "off" season when we went, you would never be able to tell the difference. The friendly staff from check-in,... More

We stayed here late in January for 4 nights. The first impression was that the hotel was a little bit passed its best, with the room décor showing slight signs of wear. Everything else was positive, good quick room service, very clean, quiet and a great location. Would we visit again? Yes definitely. More

Beautiful oasis on Mission Blvd. A wonderful calm bay, boardwalk and sun rise just outside the back doors. On the otherside across the street, the fantastic Pacific, powerful waves and unbelieveable sun sets! At the resort, great service and happy hour prices at Morays lounge, Hi Bill! At the Atoll, great food, friendly services. Entire staff friendly and helpful. Don't... More

We just returned from a 3-night stay here, as a wrap up to a business trip. We booked it through an online site after reading reviews. Our room was in the tower, and also beside the elevator. As I stepped off the elevator the first time & saw the proximity, I thought for sure we'd be changing rooms. I was... More

Pros: First, I must comment on the beautiful grounds throughout the resort. The tropical Polynesian feel was like paradise. Loved the Koi ponds, the plentiful ducks, the macaws, the tiki torches lit at night, and the gorgeous greenery throughout. ...We had a room facing Mission Bay and it was very nice sitting out on the porch early morning, sipping coffee,...

The view of the pacific was the best part! The higher the better! The staff was ok ! It seemed like they were just going through the motions? If your coming to Cali stay in Carlsbad ! The town has a better vibe ! I recommend the Carlsbad Inn ! Same beach environment only much cleaner surroundings!! More

I guess I was expecting more based on their website pictures. In person its a lot different. Lobby has a nice tropical look with waterfall, but our room on the outskirts 200s was more like a motel. Room was very dark even with white walls. Our "garden view" consisted of some kind of palm tree and fencing. I gave it... More

What a wonderful place to stay. We loved the Catamaran and would go back again. Our hotel was right by where they have the bird purches and loved seeing them everyday. The grounds are just beautiful and they Koy ponds are fun to see. Our room was just great, it was a bay view room and was just perfect. Since... More

Have travelled throughout the world for work and know a four star hotel when I stay at one. Expedia is dead wrong here. Maybe a 2 to 3 star property -- and a 2 if you are in room 100 where (a) near impossible to find a light socket, (b) half the room lights don't work, (c) the banging of... More

As soon as you step out of your room or go on your balcony, you feel like you're at a resort. The rooms are dated and bland, but the views, location and grounds make the money spent worth it! I'm watching the sunrise from my 12th floor balcony as I write this. To my left are mountains, ahead is the... More
