"Amazing Resort and Staff."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
The Catamaran Resort is a beautiful Polynesian Themed Resort. It is centrally located between Mission Bay, Mission Beach and Pacific Beach. This resort has a wonderful tropical feel to it with lush palm trees, six beautiful parrots, a stunning koi pond with lots of ducks, a private bay area, a pool/spa, unlimited play arcade games, gym facing the bay, waterfront yoga at 8 am every day, two restaurants, a café and they even have luaus at their resort. This resort is for all ages since it has something for everyone. The rooms are comfy and clean. They have rooms with bay views, garden views, bay front rooms and garden front rooms. The top floor tower room with the bay view is stunning and is perfect for people that love a great view of the bay and beach at the same time. The staff here is amazing and professional. I highly recommend staying at this resort.
