We stayed here for 4 nights in a family room in the main block fourth floor in August. 2 x queen size beds, kitchenette and a sofa bed, bedding for sofa bed included. Great view of the bay, although not the beach, ideal location of hotel meant we were 1 min from the bay and only across the road from the main beach. Hotel itself was very nice although a bit pricey I thought for food and drink. However there is a Ralph's supermarket in walking distance which we got takeaway food from, I had to ask reception to give the kitchen area and balcony a deep clean as was 'sticky' around the cupboards and cooking area and the balcony had bird poo on. Disappointing only 1 chair and 1 sun lounger on the balcony and I also commented that there was only 1 mug for the coffee maker, when we were a family of 4.... The wardrobe had sliding doors that came off the runners, so overall felt the room was a bit shabby, but on the up side, my son had a separate bed in the sofa bed....
Pool was ok, lots of kids so stayed away during the day and used the beach. Water sports available on the bay and on the main beach, loved the area, not too busy.
Went on the Bahia Belle over the bay to sister resort, was disappointed by staff attitude who...We stayed here for 4 nights in a family room in the main block fourth floor in August. 2 x queen size beds, kitchenette and a sofa bed, bedding for sofa bed included.

Went on the Bahia Belle over the bay to sister resort, was disappointed by staff attitude who not only searched our bags and my purse but tried to confiscate a bottle of water from my 12 year old in case we drank it on board..... Get a life !!!!
However our visit to Belmont Park and the oldest wooden roller coaster was worth it.... Remember there is only time for about an hour and a half visit though, before we could get back to Catamarran Resort, as again we were subjected to over the top reprimands about taking under 21s on the boat as it was 9.30pm and the boat turned into a party boat at 10pm. If we hadn't been sure we were entitled to travel back to our hotel we could have been turned away..... Very disappointed.
However great location and the rest of hotel meant I was prepared to give 4 stars.
Oh and loved that we could watch a Disney film on the beach at dusk outside the hotel too.More
