Hard to find places like this, perfect resort for a family getaway. Stayed here over new years 2011 and was great. The location is perfect, there is tons of stuff to do, food is close and has a beach on both sides of the resort. We love this place because it really feels like you have left for a tropical... More

This hotel was perfect for our stay on Mission Bay. We spent our first 4 nights in downtown San Diego, then moved to this beautiful, tropical resort. The grounds are lovely (coy ponds and waterfalls), the personnel are very friendly and helpful, and our second floor suite was huge with a balcony overlooking the bay. My son enjoyed the water...

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
