The catamaran was absolutely amazing in so many ways, but there was some room issues that I didn't love. We did a couples massage at the spa - it was so relaxing and efficient - my deep tissue massage was so great! The spa bathroom and steam room was my favorite. However, Our room shower was so poor, it was loose at the faucet hookeup and would shake and make a loud noise every 30 seconds or so. The TV had a supposed casting ability but it wasn't connected to the WiFi and we couldn't figure it out so ended up watching boring cable. The beds, balcony and cleanliness of our lil kitchenette and double queen bed room was so awesome, I just wish I didn't have the shower and tv issues. The property was gorgeous, exclusive bay access and a nice restaurant with room service! The room service was so amazing that it was dangerous lol we wanted to order it a ton. I absolutely loved the open lobby with the beautiful wildlife and little ponds. I was so happy with so many things at this resort, but I don't want to have to travel with a laptop just to watch TV. I wanted to use the spa instead of use our bad shower and felt like it could have been way better in our room.

Really enjoyed the stay at the Catamaran Hotel. We stayed next to the pool and was easy to walk to around the beautiful grounds. Great location and less than a 3 min walk to the beach. Only issue was that some of hot water ran at out times and the shower head had about half the nozzles plugged but this didn’t impact the overall stay which was great!

We Love the Catamaran Resort
This is our 2nd trip to San Diego and our 2nd time staying at the Catamaran. We love it here. This time, we brought our 6 year old grandson and he loved stopped to visit the birds on the property and killing time in the free arcade. The service was quick and friendly when we requested additional towels, soap and bottled water. The staff was accommodating when our return flight was cancelled and we couldn’t get another for 12 hours. They gave us a pass card to hang out in the pool area or arcade as well as holding our luggage secure, while we waited out our flight time. We will always recommend the Catamaran.

Up-graded but not an upgrade wanted
I booked at Catamaran a room in the tower because it had a kitchenette and ocean view and bay view. So they put me in a room with no kitchenette and told me this was an upgrade. It was not—I brought food to cook had to order roomservice—they said tower was under construction but there were people staying in clearly in those units… so I won’t be staying here again—because I felt they were dishonest and when I immediately called on waking into the room…(to which they should have moved me to what I had booked for) I was told this is a way nicer room. No it was not— No ocean view—brought a small microwave but since had no dishes no anything not much good. I do not complain—I felt told to like this and when customers book specific rooms they want that room…..bedroom was no view and bay view was ok but second floor and very loud. Because outdoor groups meet on the lawn… in the tower it is less noticeable. It was disappointing to be told rooms were unavailable only to clearly see tower units with people staying in them in the very room I paid for and booked…I did not and would not have booked the room they chose. I chose the room we needed when I booked and it should have been what booked! Nice place we are locals and usually we love it. This was not great—so Humphreys will get out business.
