Great location

When we checked in we were alerted that they overbooked the king room we booked and so we were given another room for the first night and upgraded to a king suite the second night. The first room they put us in had an active water leak and a large area of carpet was soaked. Once we notified them we were promptly moved. The king suite was very nice and very kind of them. The beds in all the rooms we stayed in were not very comfortable. We were charged $600 more than the rate we were given by hotels.com upon check out. Fixing this required a few conversations and a phone call. In the end, I was charged $100 more than the hotels.com rate and didn’t feel like putting more time in to resolve the issue. The location is fantastic and the staff are extremely kind. Overall, it was a good stay but we will not stay again because of the beds and the troubles.

Staff: Front desk staff misled me to my room upon check in. Walked around the property for 20 minutes trying to find someone to ask for directions to my room. Room: Upon entering the room, the room smelled musky/moldy with a hint of cigarette smoke. Sand was in/on the bathroom floor, and shower curtain was dirty (stained and had hair solidified on it. Amenities: No chairs or service in the beach club. No posting of “seasonal” dates. Overall: went for a wedding, but will not stay there again. Not impressed, especially for what I paid for it. Motel quality at best.

Here’s a polished, highly favorable review you could use for the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa in San Diego: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 The Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa is pure paradise in San Diego! From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by a lush tropical atmosphere filled with koi ponds, waterfalls, and even friendly parrots that make the entire property feel like a hidden oasis. The location is unbeatable—tucked right on Mission Bay with a private sandy beach, yet just a short stroll to the ocean. Whether you’re looking for relaxation or adventure, you truly get the best of both worlds. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and many offer breathtaking views of the bay or ocean. I especially loved waking up to the sound of the water and enjoying coffee on the balcony. The spa is exceptional—peaceful, professional, and the treatments left me feeling completely refreshed. Dining on-site is also a treat; the food is delicious, and watching the sunset over the bay while enjoying dinner is an experience I’ll never forget. The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable. Every interaction was warm and genuine, and I felt truly cared for during my entire visit. Between the tropical gardens, beachfront access, relaxing spa, and incredible service, the Catamaran is more than a resort—it’s a full escape. I can’t wait to return and would recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect San Diego.

I did not get the resort customer experience I was anticipating. 1st valet were not attentive and sadly were understaffed. We had never stayed at this property and were not aware that some of the rooms required you to go up a flight of stairs and there were no elevators in these buildings, which was a problem for us considering we had a baby with a stroller so everytime we left and return we had to climb up the stairs with a lot to carry. Upon arrival and when we realize the issue we went to front office and asked to be moved to a ground unit but unfortunately nothing was available and lady said those units are accommodated upon request but we didn’t know that. The condition of the rooms were ok. What we did like was the pool and huge hot tub, that was great especially return from being out and about. We also like that it was pet friendly. There are a lot of restaurants walking distant.
