Apr 01, 2025Great Stay as Usual
I arrived in San Diego in the middle of March,and stayed, as customary at the Catamaran Hotel and Spa. The staff ALWAYS makes me feel like family,which is why I have been returning for 2 decades. The grounds are very much like the Poylnesian at Disney World and is a great escape from the city. Jane{General Manager} and Scott{Hotel Manager} do a great job in running this property. The people that I wish to commend are Hitomi Kato{Assistant Front Office Manager},Lenin{Front Office Manager},Supervisors Leslie,Roman and Greg,as well as Joanne,Kim,Dante,Lorenzo{Thank You for your kind words!!}, Mick,Barrett, Ian,Zack, Edgar,Pascual,Alan,Aaron,and last,but by no means least,Diante in Reservations who has always done so much to help. Thank You! Also from Security, Mel and Grounds keeper John Ross,Engneering-Doug and finally,Arlo the Cat!!

Catamaran Spa
We come to the Catamaran Spa for our annual anniversary massage…and it was amazing like usual! Shelan and Yvonne gave us a great massage. We felt so relaxed and at peace afterwards. We always enjoy the amenities too! The jacuzzi on the bay is our favorite. We recommend and will be coming back!

Great stay great. Stay….. call facility.
The reservation process was made very easy by the agent, Diante. He was courteous, and helped me with suggestions for room type. All of the amenities you would expect were available. Bayview room we had was an excellent choice such a pretty sight to wake up to in the morning. There were very many choices of places to eat in the area and other entertainment. We had such a good time with our family and friends. We will be enjoying future stays at this resort and spa. Kathy S

Loved our ‘A’ Building suite!
Upon arrival Lorenzo upgraded us to the Mission Bay view, second floor A Building! Wonderful modern suite with fridge and microwave. We also had a view of the family activities on the huge lawns, the boardwalk cyclists, and runners. Hawaiian singers too. The A building has no elevator but that was a tiny inconvenience for such a fabulous view! We felt connected to the beach being so close, rather than being up high in their tower. Would definitely book again! Lorenzo is an exceptional employee who consistently greeted us each day with a friendly smile and made sure we were enjoying our stay!
