The Catamaran Resort offers a magical atmosphere with beautiful grounds and a coastline view that's hard to beat. The staff is genuinely caring, and their attention really makes your stay pleasant. Dining at Oceana Coastal Kitchen was a delight with fresh seafood, but there were times when the wait was longer than expected. The pool area is perfect for relaxing, but I wish the room could have been more modern and freshened up.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort in San Diego, where the staff genuinely made us feel welcome and cared for, especially during challenging travel days. The scenic location beside the beach and beautiful gardens added to the charm, making it hard to leave. However, I felt that the timing of room cleaning could be improved, as it was often late in the day, which was not ideal for us with a young child.

My stay at the Catamaran Resort was an overall delightful experience. The concierge, Mikko, truly made the difference with his exceptional service and local insights. The location allowed easy access to both the bay and the ocean, which I loved. Although the bathrooms could use some updating, the room itself was excellent with a fantastic view. However, I wished for a slightly more varied menu at the restaurant. I felt that the resort offered great value for what we paid.

Our stay at the Catamaran Resort and Spa was a mix of joyful experiences and a few disappointments. We loved the Hawaiian Luau and enjoyed interacting with the staff, who were genuinely caring. However, the room we had felt quite outdated and did not align with the beautiful grounds. The dining options were varied and enjoyable, but some aspects of the experience, like the fireworks on the Fourth, could have been better managed.

The Catamaran offers an incredible atmosphere with a stunning location near Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The staff really shines, providing exceptional service that made my stay all the more enjoyable. While the dining options are varied and delicious, the state of the rooms felt a bit outdated, which detracted from the overall experience. Overall, it's a great spot for relaxation and good food, but a room refresher would take it to the next level.
