Everything was wonderful. Loved the hotel, location, restaurant! We will be back for sure! (Hopefully though the 2nd elevator gets fixed! It was a long wait , and being on the 9th floor it was a few too many levels to use stairs).

The room was filthy when we arrived. Black handprints all over the bath towels hanging in the shower area and dirty carpet and entry way with food strewn along the sidewalks. The place is tired and the location is good. Not worth the money if you are looking for nice clean accommodations.

This is, easily, the worst experience of my life with a hotel. In fairness, I believe it was the app/site inflating the importance; do not believe the reviews. This was the first time I used them, as I was in a bind and needed something in the vicinity. It is a decent MOTEL. The staff is very friendly. Nothing else about the property is worth discussing and the rooms smell like…ammonia. (I am deleting the Hotels.com app immediately)

Maid service came at dinner time one day and not at all the next. Lots of noise from the birds which were housed next door. Assigned to a room with two doubles after booking a king bed room since TV didn’t work in king bedroom. TV went out in our room as well.

We loved our stay. The location and service was perfect. We will stay again. It was a family trip with 2 kids 9 and 17. Both enjoyed the arcade and walking around looking at things. We all felt safe and comfortable.

Other than the location which is nice I have nothing good to say unfortunately. Starting from the rude person the checked us in, through the outdated rooms from the 70’s. All the facilities that are closed, not working, run down or have another issue And ending with the restaurant that the hotel claimed had to be shut down due to a leak but I suspect was closed down due to that would be fixed over night but was never fixed during the following 3 days until we left ( they were shut down for health violations a couple months ago….). Will definitely not come back and suggest you do the same.

I wasn’t too fond about staying in the tower; seemed like a late 80’s apartment…including the smell. Partial ocean view room and they weren’t kidding about the partial. If I were to stay here again, it would be the ocean front room/patio or none. It was a nice resort overall with a restaurant and lots of activities. Service was good and friendly throughout. Pool was nice and clean and towels and chairs were plenty for all.

We absolutely loved our bay view room!!! We wish our room had a small couch. It would have made it more inviting rather than another desk chair. My room was spacious enough for one. For a deluxe room we didn’t have a microwave. Our fourth day we didn’t have any hot water.

Nice location. The king suite in the tower was disappointing for the price paid. Great view, but overall old room that needs updating. One of the patio doors was inoperable. The manager was supposed to call me about it and never did. Won’t be back again.

The staff was lovely. The birds are so fun. All the wild life feels magical for the kids. My main complaint was the overall age and condition of the buildings. They were clean, but ceiling tiles are stained and hallways have a smell. I would still stay here again if I had kids with. The location is great for mission beach activities. But if it were just adults I’d want something different.

For the price charged, plus all the add-ons, Catamaran is getting a bit long in the tooth. TV had to be rebooted continually, toilet plugged up and attributed to old cast iron piping and constant problem in the tower, patio screen door wouldn’t work, etc. Thoroughly enjoy the location and ambiance, and have been coming there for years, but this visit was a bit of a disappointment - particularly at the price point.

We stayed 4 nights (M-Th) and enjoyed this property very much. We stayed in a Bay-view room in the tower, which also had an Ocean view. The room was very clean and the property itself was clean and well-maintained. The staff was extremely friendly and courteous. We also did the Sunset Luau, which was a bit pricey for my taste, but it was a lot of fun. If I had to nitpick something, I wish the pool opened sooner than 9am because I tend to be an early riser and coming from the East Coast, I was an even earlier riser. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel.

My first impression upon arriving was to view the hotel stars on Trip Advisor as I felt this couldn’t possibly be a 4 star.. no way. No one assisted me with my heavy luggage. The hotel is decorated in Polynesian style but VERY outdated. The rooms have popcorn ceiling too and the carpet in the halls are stained. The patio door was broken but could be jammed into place to work. It was loud and kids EVERYWHERE. There were dirty towels in our bathroom but housekeeping came promo and replaced them. Not too many options for dining. The bay is very beautiful and well kept. All the staff were very polite, but the service at the restaurant was not very good. Our server didn’t even realize she had our table after being seated with a menu for 30 minutes. Nor did she try to make it right; however another server was very kind and offended us a slice of cheesecake and ice cream which was delicious! I just didn’t like the way the hotel looked . I travel a lot and was quite surprised that San Diego of all places would call this a 4-star! It’s truly a 3-star. These aren’t much activities either. I’d likely not stay again if I truly want a 4-star experience.

Amazing location and grounds. If you are looking for newly remodeled rooms, this is not the place....very dated. But if you want a perfect location between the beach (5 min walk) and the Bay (outside your door) this is it. We would have loved quicker service in the dining areas (Good service, not enough help in the kitchen) and fancy rooms, but what we wanted was to be able to walk to the beach and roll out of our rooms onto the bay sand, and it could not have been more convenient. The grounds are amazing, you feel like you're in Hawaii. Birds, ponds, fish, waterfalls, palm trees all around, really spectacular.

This property is amazing because it is on the beach and kids can play in the bay all day. Our problem was our room. The room definitely could use some updating but they are pretty big for a hotel room. Our bathroom toliet had poop stuck in the hinges and up u der the lid! It was absolutely disgusting. Our bathroom also smelled of urine so badly. It was like someone peed all over and it was never cleaned, which is probably exactly what happened. There was also black hair on the towels that is just gross. I honestly dont know if I would stay again considering how expensive it is and the disgusting room.
