Jul 02, 2022Amazing poolside drink service from Chris!
We stayed at the Catamaran for one of our "mini-moons" over the weekend. The private. beachside lounge chairs are a huge perk. We also hung out at the private pool (a little oasis!) and had the best bartender, Chris, mixing up drinks. Great attitude and every customer was happy. He was the only person behind the bar for a ton of thirsty guests and he took it like a champ. Definitely recommend staying in one of the bayside or garden suites vs the tower. Much more of a resort feel. Also, rent a FunCat to take your lounging to the water. We will be back.

Jul 02, 2022Beautiful view but outdated
The view is stunning, the grounds are lovely, the beds cozy, and the staff were friendly. Room service was quick but average food. There seem to be lots of activities for families which is nice. The room itself, however, was not lovely. Our carpet was buckled in at least 10 places and a tripping hazard. The kitchen was 1970’s and we didn’t even need it. We had two queens because no king was available but one of the beds is so close to the air conditioner it literally blows in your face. The older Hawaiian themed furnishings are fine but they need to invest in updating the rest. We have always trusted trip advisor and usually a 4 star property is fine. This had 4 1/2 but it is really a 3 star resort until they get busy and remodel. If it wasn’t for the view and nice staff they would have gotten 1 star. It was also not very clean in the bathroom and kitchen, but giving the staffing shortage we understood. Make sure you get a remodeled room or go somewhere else.

The Best Cocktail
I was in San Diego for business and has the pleasure of meeting Chris the pool bartender. His Mai tai was the best I ever had. Such a nice guy, and very helpful recommending local spots to visit over the weekend. Thank you, Chris!!

Excellent service!
Shoutout to Ryan Carney at the front desk of the catamaran! She was an excellent host for our two night stay. She was extremely helpful and was able to answer our questions with a smile! Because of her. We will be back to stay!
