Gorgeous grounds and good location. Prepare to pay an additional $40 if you plan to park a car. And don’t forget about the additional $40 resort fee. Room was comfy.

Great place. Conference was very well run. Only issues were 1) room not ready at check-in. 2) Buildings and rooms feel a bit dated. 3) Housekeeping comes late in the day if at all.

Location is great, walking distance to ocean, restaurants, grocery store, bike paths. The ‘resort’ is older and carries a pretty hefty daily resort fee and parking fee that add up quickly. Rooms are a good size and property felt safe. My kids enjoyed the heated pool. The restaurant on site was fancy but not very kid friendly. Any bike rentals or paddle boards cost extra. The bay cruise we paid extra for and was scenic but kids were very board. I would not recommend paying for the cruise, it was an hour and half boat ride with no commentary. Kids were board after about 20 min and not much seating on top. Overall it’s the location that makes this hotel worth it.

Gorgeous room in the tower overlooking the bay. The staff was lovely. The location can’t be beat. Great linens and hair products. I will be back.

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!

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.

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.

Property and location is great!
Service was excellent.
Rooms could use a renovation.
My only issue was that I was in the hallway behind the front desk. Anytime a door closed, most often the front office door, it SLAMMED shut. So loud and it echoed down the hall. I laid in bed for about an hour and heard a door slam shut over 25 times. They could really use new doors that don’t slam shut. Also, one of the employees whistles at night. It’s pretty loud as the rooms are not so insulated.

Resort Facilities are great especially when you are with family such as pool, free arcade, easy access to beach
Builds and rooms are quite out dated and old. So felt it was expensive for overall quality. They had extra resort and parking per day which was approx $90 per day

Front desk supervisor was very rigid, not at all suited for her job. Could have been accommodating & chose not to be. A young woman who is embarrassingly condescending. I own a design travel company & assuming she, Cynthia, still works there I will not recommend this place for my business study groups. Otherwise the property is beautiful & all other staff very nice. But this person made it impossible for us to stay there

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Catamaran Resort in San Diego, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted warmly by the staff, and the check-in process was seamless.
The resort's location on Mission Bay is simply stunning, offering picturesque views that made my stay incredibly relaxing. The well-kept tropical landscaping added to the overall ambiance, creating a serene atmosphere that instantly put me at ease.
The room I stayed in was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. I especially appreciated the attention to detail in the room's design, which made it feel both luxurious and comfortable.
The resort's amenities are top-notch! The various dining options provided delicious meals, and the service was impeccable. Additionally, the range of activities available, from water sports to the relaxing spa, ensured there was never a dull moment during my stay.
What truly stood out to me was the exceptional hospitality of the staff. They were attentive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure I had a fantastic experience throughout my stay.
Overall, my time at the Catamaran Resort was incredible. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a perfect blend of relaxation, luxury, and exceptional service. Can't wait to visit again!

Room amenities were disappointing and was surprised to see the low quality brand of tissue and over all cleanliness of the room.
In room Coffee service had already opened sugar/creamer packets.
Was there we large holiday party on a Friday night and all the outdoor seating and fire pits were turned off at 11. Left to sit in the dark on chaise lounges without cushions.

Rooms are very dated, feels very late 90's. The bathtub drained slowly and burped up sandy water as it did drain, so standing in the remnants of past showers was gross.
There is no central control to the AC/room temperature. The TV was a 45 degree angle to the bed. The refrigerator is in the closet. There were light bulbs that needed changing. There is zero class to these rooms.
Dated, dingy- had more a Travel Lodge vibe than a "4 Star Resort"
We're local to the area, so the touristy amenities just weren't enough to overcome such a wanton disregard for the modern hotel experience.
Do yourself a favor, get a nicer room in which to be comfortable, and uber to your attractions.

I was disappointed that you had to pay for parking. Of course when you make a reservation at a hotel in California there are very few places you can get local transportation, so they automatically know you'll be needing to get there by car. You shouldn't have to pay extra to park your car.

A motel disguised as s resort!! While the grounds and the location are beautiful, sadly, the room was subpar! I was given a Tower room on 7 th floor. The room was very dated and the bathroom was deplorable! Bathtub was stained black inside from previous anti skid material; chipped tiles and stained/peeling wallpaper. Floor was dirty. Bathtub kept backing up during showers to above my ankles. I finally noticed the drain was extremely clogged with gunk and hair! Safe in room did not lock. Dried blood stain on my sheet. I reported this to front desk staff, who told me rooms were in process of being Renovated from the ground up. Excuses!
On my last night, the power went out from 9:15 pm til 6 am. Guests were not notified of the problem. An alarm also sounded at 4 am and I was unsure if it was a safety issue, like a fire alarm. Again, no notification as to what was happening. Should I evacuate?? A little unsettling being on the 7th floor in the dark!
When I questioned the front desk as to the issue, they basically brushed me off with, sorry, we weren’t here when it happened.
I requested my “resort” fees be waived as I did not use the facilities, but was told everyone pays them regardless. Really? It’s November. Not everyone is there for the “resort!” If so, where were the beach loungers?
I stayed here during the pandemic, and also had an issue with the cleanliness of the room, but attributed it to lack of staff. I can see not much has changed!!Also, there was no

I love the catamaran. In a little nuke on the beach that blocks the winds, you get to chat with some of the coolest birds in the world, and the staff as always welcomes you with a warm smile:)

Such a beautiful property. The perfect spot to go to the beach with the bay on one side and cross the street and you are at the ocean. The GM Jim Chester was AWESOME! We happened to meet him
while checking out the exotic birds that reside on the property. We got to chatting about lots of things and he took it upon himself to upgrade our room to the bayside right on the water !! And then sent us a bottle of champagne and a fruit/cheese basket for our anniversary ! So lovely !!! What a delight !!! The room was beautiful. Very comfy bed. Lovely sitting area with a slider out to a small patio. We sat out and watched the people walking by on the walkway near the water. The restaurants on site were great. Food delicious! Staff friendly, helpful and very professional!!! Super clean and the hot tub and pool was awesome !! Loved it all. Highly recommend and definitely will be back !!

Very beautiful landscaping you feel in Hawaii. Oceana food and drinks delicious. Only but a very big deal to me was the room wasn’t very clean, hair on floor when walked in and didn’t smell nice. Need big remodeling for the rooms and much much better cleaning service.

The property and staff were excellent. However, the room was old and dilapidated. Not worth the upgrade fee for a view.
