Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa

Explore the exotic side of san diego.

The Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa is a paradisiacal destination located on the shores of Mission Bay and mere steps from San Diego’s famous Pacific Beach. With features including lush tropical gardens and private beach, this Polynesian-themed hotel offers an ideal blend of fun and tranquility all year-round.

Established in 1958, the Catamaran is a paradise featuring more than 1,000 varieties of exotic plants and animals from around the world. Palm trees, bamboo, waterfalls and koi ponds appeal to the senses, while playful parrots delight and intrigue guests.

The Catamaran’s architecture, reminiscent of the traditional Colonial Hawaiian style, boasts accents including totem poles handcrafted in Bali, art pieces such as tapa cloth from Vanuatu and a beautiful front desk constructed of Black Koa wood imported directly from Tahiti.

At the Catamaran, guests are checked into one of 310 guest rooms, studios or suites, each with a private balcony or patio that opens to stunning views of Mission Bay, the Pacific Beach neighborhood and coastline, or the hotel’s lush tropical gardens. All guests are provided a full range of amenities including complimentary Wi-Fi and 24-hour room service.

On-site dining options include Oceana Coastal Kitchen, rated by Zagat as one of San Diego’s most anticipated restaurants and featuring chef-driven surf and turf dishes. Next door to this signature restaurant is Moray’s, where guests can sip on a signature Moray’s Mai Tai, savor a local craft beer and enjoy happy hour specials Monday-Friday. Both venues feature a blend of indoor and patio spaces, the latter lined with tiki torches, fire pit tables and lush palms.

Guests may also choose to grab a bite at Lava Java, the on-site grab and go café, or poolside at the Catamaran’s full bar and grill which serves up barbecue favorites during the spring and summer months. Another standout summer special is the Catamaran’s signature luaus, featuring live performers that guide guests through the cultures of the South Pacific as they enjoy a Hawaiian buffet.

Those who prefer to spend their time on the water can opt for a cruise on the Bahia Belle, a replica of an 1860s-era sternwheeler that tours around Mission Bay. Operating seasonally, the Bahia Belle is a turn-of-the-century, Mississippi-style boat that provides a 45-minute sightseeing cruise of Mission Bay. The 74-foot, 3-story sternwheeler boat offers an observation deck to view the beautiful sites of the 4,200-acre aquatic park.

The Catamaran Spa—the only beachfront spa in San Diego—offers a South Pacific-inspired menu of treatments including massages, facials, body wraps, hydrotherapy treatments and more—carried out with all-natural marine and botanical elements. Additional wellness amenities include an outdoor pool and hot tub, beach cabanas, an open air fitness center, seasonal outdoor yoga classes and more.

Further vacation activities include rental paddleboards, sailboats, kayaks, surfboards, bicycles and Segways. The Catamaran is also located within the beach towns Mission Beach and Pacific Beach, where guests can stroll the boardwalk or the iconic Crystal Pier, play at the beach or experience a variety of cafes and boutiques. The resort is within 10 miles of major San Diego attractions such as SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Downtown’s Gaslamp District and the San Diego International Airport.

On the northwest shore of Mission Bay, the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa attracts visitors looking for a bit of R&R. The property is visibly older than other modern luxury accommodations in the San Diego area. However, each of the guest rooms features a plasma TV and an iPod docking station. Still, some guests can't help but remark that the rooms need an upgrade. But the on-site amenities are better received, with travelers praising the Catamaran Spa for its soothing ambiance and its long list of treatments. Recent guests also commend the hotel staff members for their friendly nature and eagerness to help out. And for many, the resort's Sunday Champagne Brunch was a highlight of their visit. The property charges a $34 resort fee, which covers amenities like hotel-wide Wi-Fi access, in-room water and towel service.

Set on pretty grounds filled with lush greenery, koi ponds, and exotic birds, the hotel offers two on-site eateries, a lovely outdoor pool and hot tub, as well as a spa, salon, and fitness center. There's even a beautiful classic boat that offers sunset cruises and family activities, transforming into a nightclub scene in the evenings. The 310 guest rooms are bland and could use a refresh, but they're spacious and outfitted with modern comforts like flat-screen TVs, Keurig machines, iHome docks, and free Wi-Fi, while studios and suites add kitchenettes and dining/living space. For nicer and more modern rooms, check out the similarly priced and also beachfront Paradise Point Resort and Spa in Mission Bay.

Pets allowed, oyster hotel review, mid-range family-friendly resort with dated polynesian-style decor, but pretty green grounds.

This beachfront hotel sits on pretty green grounds full of palm trees, lush plants, trim lawns, ponds with colorful fish, and even exotic birds flying about. The greenery creeps inside as well -- a rock waterfall and koi pond in the lobby is skirted in ferns, small palms, and tropical greenery sprouting here and there beneath the sloped roof. Though dated, it somehow works, bringing a kitschy dose of the natural world inside. The place has a Polynesian vibe, with bamboo and rattan furniture, wooden art hanging on the walls, and teak wood elements. Though many spaces could use an update -- like the drab carpeting and beige walls in the lobby and hallways -- the resort is a fine choice with a great location and a good selection of amenities, garnering terrific ratings and reviews from guests.

Across the street from the beach on the shores of Mission Bay, close to restaurants and shops

The hotel is situated across the road from a beach in San Diego’s Pacific Beach community. The immediate area is residential, with private homes and vacation rentals, but there are a variety of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Nearby attractions include Belmont Park (five-minute drive), SeaWorld San Diego (10-minute drive), San Diego Zoo (17-minute drive), Cabrillo National Monument, (22-minute drive), and Legoland California (35-minute drive). Downtown San Diego is about a 15-minute drive from here, while the historic Gaslamp Quarter is 20 minutes away. San Diego International Airport is about a 20-minute drive from the hotel, or around an hour by public transportation. The nearest bus stop is a two-minute walk away.

Spacious but dated rooms, suites, and studios with private balconies/patios; some have kitchenettes 

Rooms are plain and simple, and though they could use an update, they're clean and offer a decent set of amenities. Decor is dated, with beige walls and carpets, wooden furniture, and beds topped with striped bed runners. They're spacious, though, and have large glass doors that open onto private balconies or patios with views over the surroundings or onto the hotel's green grounds. Studios and suites have kitchenettes with four-burner stoves, ovens, microwaves, sinks, toasters, and full fridges, as well as living/dining space with blue couches, coffee tables, and chairs flanking small round tables. Standard amenities include flat-screen TVs, Keurig coffeemakers, mini-fridges (full fridges in units with kitchenettes), iHome docks, laptop safes, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are equally bland decor-wise and quite small. They're outfitted with shower/tub combos, toiletries, and hairdryers; bathrobes can be found in the closets.

Two dining options, lovely pool and hot tub, direct beach access, spa and fitness facilities, and plenty of meeting rooms

The hotel offers two on-site dining options: Oceana Coastal Kitchen is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, serving Californian fare in an waterfront setting (outdoor seating overlooks the beach), while Moray's is the more casual option serving light bites and drinks, with a fun outdoor space with fire pits and tiki torches. A Sunday Champagne brunch is also available, as is room service. For an alternative dining/drinking experience, guests can hop onto the Bahia Belle, the hotel's classic sternwheeler that offers family hour and cocktail cruises on Mission Bay. Drinks, snacks, and family activities are available during the evening, while at night, there is music and dancing, and on the weekends live DJs.

The hotel's lovely, green grounds include a pretty outdoor pool and hot tub surrounded by loungers and tall palm trees, plus there's a poolside bar and grill. The resort has direct access to a beach, where guests can use the free beach chairs and umbrellas. Various water sport rentals and lessons are available here, including surfing, sailing, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking. Bike and Segway rentals are also available.

The hotel has a spa that offers massages, body wraps, hydrotherapy treatments, facials, and other treatments. There's also a salon that offers hair styling, makeup, and nail services. The fitness room offers a handful of cardio and strength training machines as well as weights. Family-friendly facilities include a game room with a good selection of arcade games. Other facilities include 14 on-site meeting rooms available for various events, as well as a gift shop stocked with souvenirs, snacks, and drinks. There is a fee for both self-parking and valet.

Have the tower rooms been remodeled if so where are they located?

They have not been remodeled. We just stayed there earlier this week. They are in the Tower which is about the center of the resort. All the other buildings are only 2 stories while the Tower is 12, I believe.

Is this an all inclusive hotel?

The 5 star review is for the WAY THEY HANDLED THINGS, which was AWESOME, not necessarily for the resort and rooms, etc. As some have mentioned, it is a little dated in the rooms, but not too bad in our opinion, as the location right on the water makes up for it. I'm assuming they will be updating it all in the near future.... We were here for just 3 days; for my daughter and I to spread my mom's ashes, and for my daughter who has been sick for 3 yrs, to be able to see some good friends. Our first room had a few problems, like a broken shower arm/head, and very loud road noise. When we contacted the front desk the next morning, we were lucky enough to get Angie, who was wonderful. She was kind and understanding, and put us into a much nicer room (and surprisingly quiet for being next to the walking/biking/skating path) right on the water for the same price :) I wish we could have stayed there longer, as it had a large, private, lushly landscaped patio with dining table, tiki torches, lounge chairs and fire pit, and all fenced in for privacy and security, but you could still see the beach and water, and enjoy watching the people going by. Outside of this fenced "backyard" there were 2 other patios with lounge chairs and tables that were also for the room. There was great communication, and no stress, which we really appreciated. We would definitely stay here again, as we never had a single person who wasn't nice to us, AND as a cool bonus, the resort has at least 6 rare, tropical birds (parrots, and others) who are in a big cage in the middle of their lushly landscaped center area that put on a show with a trainer who they must hire to do that. It was fun to watch, and there are beautiful ponds in that area as well, filled with huge Koi and ducks, so that was peaceful and fun to to just relax and watch. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and appreciate VERY MUCH the kindness shown to us from Angie and her team. Thank you again so very much!

My previous yelp review caused some discomfort, they had to remove it. -5 out of 10.

For now I would rate this a 3-4 We originally wanted a ada room since we are a family filed with handicaps It was not easy for my son but he managed First thing that happened was our carpet was soaked from the fridge being turned off not fun getting pairs of socks u just slapped on wet and soaked. Dead Fruit flies in the freezer, side of the bathroom was not cleaned, handle on the dresser broke off, handle for the tub was hard to turn on and to turn in back off without dripping, phone was broken But honestly it is what it is. I think the location is great. All the tiny things can be easily fixed on my own and for the other things resort handled everything professionally Our children enjoyed everything Yes it's outdated but it reminded me of hotels From my home town. Food is awesome! I've never ate so much carbs lol The rosemary bread is to die for As I write this review. Im still a guest until next week Staff is very accommodating This is a reminder that nothing is perfect and sometimes ppl make the best memories When things go sideways Removed 1 star for here me out The hotel does not come with a water extractor machine for wet suits would have been great in the locker room pool side Picture will be posted later and a new review to add on will also be revised

Dear Jacquelyn, thank you for staying with us. We apologize for the wet carpet and fruit flies. It's gratifying to know that you had a great experience with our staff and you enjoyed our tasty cuisine. We hope you return soon for another amazing vacation.

Barely a 2-star experience that I'm typing this from my room. customer service is nonexistent. Every staff member we encountered couldn't care less about our stay. Hard to believe we paid over $600 per night for this mess. Despite multiple in-person requests for basic housekeeping, our room was never cleaned. We informed the front desk staff (at least five of them), who assured us multiple times that someone would take care of it, but nothing happened. When we returned to our unmade room with no towels for the third time and called the front desk again, we were met with attitude and told there was no one available to help. And well, our "king suite" is just an average hotel room. Will never come back here.

Aug 5, 2024

Dear Ashley, thank you for your stay and feedback. Our goal is to ensure our guests have an enjoyable visit and we apologize for falling short of that. Your feedback has been communicated to our management and housekeeping teams as we strive to enhance our services. We look forward to the opportunity to offer you the outstanding stay that you should expect from us.

Beautiful hotel. It's on the older side, but they have renovated most of the rooms. The tower rooms aren't renovated yet. We stayed at the garden view 2 queens room. Although I wish we had a bay view room, our room did not disappoint. We had a view of the Koi ponds and you can see them swimming from our balcony. The grounds are decorated with lots of tropical plants and trees. They have parrots who talk that entertained my kids. The beach is walking distance from our room. Very cool! Over all I'd stay again and try to take advantage of the amenities! Why the 4 stars and not five? Spider webs all over the place!! Dead bugs on spider webs just hanging around the hall ways and the balcony. The free coffee in the rooms sucks! The wanna be kuerig did the job but it still sucked! lol for the price you pay, I'd wish it was decent coffee.

Dear Jess, thank you for writing about your recent stay at Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa. We are thrilled to hear you had a wonderful stay and you enjoyed the Koi Pond and tropical lush landscape. We will pass your comments on to management for review and consideration. We hope to welcome you back for another vacation getaway!

My husband and I were in San Diego for our baby moon and a spa day was definitely a MUST for us (more so for me but hey, he reaps the benefits). We both got a massage (prenatal massage for me) and a facial - both were about 50 mins long for each service. We hung out in their lounge in between services and that provided great ambiance for relaxation. The locker rooms were great and had all the essentials that you'll need after your spa day, including access to their sauna! At the end of our facial service, our esthetician even provided a 'skin prescription' for us based on our skincare needs so that was really cool. Only reason why I'm giving 4 stars and not 5 stars is due to the booking system because it was super confusing. While I did get an email and phone call confirmation, I didn't realize that I had booked the facials for the both of us at a later time during the day and not right after our massages (we received our massages first and then facials) for it to be back to back. The receptionist was very nice and explained to us that there was only one esthetician on site at that time so that was the only way for them to accommodate us. We were going to cancel the facials but then ended up not doing so because they were going to charge for the service regardless if we received it or not so we decided to stay at the resort until our facial services, which were about 3 hours apart after the conclusion of our massage services. Otherwise, we had a very relaxing day at this spa location!

Dear guest, thank you for sharing the details of your experience. We are sorry about the confusion and any inconvenience you may have experienced. We're glad it all ended well and you enjoyed your day at our spa. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Fantastic stay! Before visiting customer service was super helpful over the phone and took down our requests. We booked a pool side room. Although it didn't come with a microwave. I made a request before hand and luckily we were able to get one in our room without an additional charge. Upon arrival the person at the desk Randy was super helpful. Gave us a rundown of everything, told us where to park etc . Room was clean and they brought in our crib and microwave before we got into the room. Our stay was amazing , scenery was so beautiful. Kids loved the hotel cat, ponds, and birds . The pool was so fun. We had a blast at the arcade as well ! Loved that this hotel including clean pool towels for convenience. Next to the pool was daily kid crafts . We made cute keepsakes while we were there ! The kids also were able to do the movie on the bay and ice cream social on Wednesday! We had a scavenger hunt given to us by the front desk and afterwards the kids turned it in to the Java cafe for a baked treat. Gift shop was REASONABLY PRICED ! Which is something I never thought I'd say! My kids were able to pick out some goodies under $10! ( bracelets , necklaces , notebooks) We ordered room service a few nights and the food was INCREDIBLE! The portions were HUGE. The kids meals could easily feed an adult and came with a scoop of ice cream ! Win win Restaurants are within walking distance. We tried world famous. The food was incredible, great portions and had a view. Beach was fun and clean . We did yoga on the beach in the am (8:30) and it was just so beautiful and the ladies we had instructing us were amazing ! Also kid friendly. Afterwards checking out was an absolute breeze and zero hidden fees were found once checking out ! 1)One thing I will say is poolside can be loud, however didn't bother any my kids including a baby sleeping . The curfew at 10pm was always enforced which made things perfect. 2) no top latch on the hotel doors. Also wasn't a huge problem for us . 3) make sure to ask for utensils and condiments when ordering room service . One night they were slammed and I ran down for some. Again totally understandable

Dear Christina, thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review. Nothing makes us happier than knowing you enjoyed our abundant activities, delicious dining, and prime Mission Bay location. Our team looks forward to welcoming you back soon. P.S. Thankyou for the great pics.

I attended the summer sunset luau and Ricardo was incredible. He got us great seats and a few complimentary drinks because my fiancé and I are locals. The views were amazing and the service is unbeatable. I'd highly recommend this if you want to take your date to something tropical and magical.

Dear guest, thank you for letting us know how much you enjoyed our sunset luau experience. We hope you visit us again soon. Great pictures. Best wishes from our team.

This hotel is awful - children screaming and crying, no room cleaning or room service over our 4 day stay, no late checkout, WORST HOTEL BEDS EVER AND BED BUGS!!!!!!!!! pillows are not pillows they are completely flat we had to walk a mile to and from the front desk constantly it was the most unrelaxing and inconvenient vacation i have ever had and they should be providing me some sort of refund.... my car is more comfy than this hotel... also the water pressure in the shower is non existent and the soap is orange scented so if you want to stay here you have been warned... worst experience ever

Rooms are still very dated but it's about on par with what you can get for Mission Bay Area. The amenities though are awesome. Always a fun stay with lots to do. Plus the pool is awesome. So recommended depending on what your priorities are.

Dear John, thank you for choosing the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us and hope to have you back soon to enjoy our many activities and amenities. Best wishes from our team.

Sunrises and sunsets in Santorini: The new Sandblu resort reviewed

As Santorini's latest independent luxury resort opens its doors, Ped Millichamp checks out the island’s sparkling new Sandblu hotel to give it his greek seal of approval

Part of the Cyclades islands in the southern area of the Aegean Sea, the volcanic island of Santorini is renowned for its whitewashed buildings, blue-domed churches and stunning sunsets. Formed from a volcanic eruption, its dramatic cliffs encircle a breathtaking caldera filled with azure waters. You’ll find the newly opened SandBlu resort seamlessly built into the foot of the ancient Mesa Vuono mountain in Kamari, on the south east coast with elevated panoramic sea views and its famous black sand beach just minutes away. Direct flights into the island’s small airport will have you sipping on a Grecian cocktail within four hours of leaving London. What are you waiting for? Yammas!

The white stoned complex boasts 27 rooms, 22 suites and 2 villas that gently cascade down from the mountainside which are all elegantly designed with the true essence of Greece in mind. The epitome of luxury in every detail and the most sophisticated hotel of Santorini by far. The islands’ radiant sunshine naturally lights up every living space giving a sense of tranquillity and calm. Each room has all the amenities you could wish for including air con, wifi, mini-bar and a fully-equipped en suite bathroom.

Whichever you choose, you’ll take comfort in the opulence that surrounds you, along with the elevated views and privacy that the architecture of the complex creates - so much so, I dared to skinny-dip in our pool each morning. I especially enjoyed the garden areas giving life to pomegranate trees and the landscaping of the green roof gardens.

Food and drink

Our first evening was spent in the hotels main restaurant, Apnea, which translates to ‘breathless’ and the al fresco views of the Aegean sea as you tuck into the modern Greek cuisine certainly take your breath away. Local fresh seafood dishes are the head chefs speciality and we enjoyed fresh Cretan cherry tomatoes with carob rusks and sea fennel, grilled Scorpion Fish with kakkavia sauce and fennel, milk-fed lamb with fermented grains, eggplant and grape leaf, all washed down with a local cocktail created by the restaurants’ mixologist. Breakfast and lunch is served in their other restaurant Plateia which is nestled into the heart of the complex with a sunkist terrace and poolside dining tables. Start your day with traditional Greek dishes such as milk pie or strapatsada (scrambled eggs combined with a rich tomato sauce and salty feta) or my favourite - the Greek pancakes (the head chef Theodore’s grandmother’s recipe – delicious) ... all washed down with a Greek coffee and freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. For lunch, we opted for a meze of Octopus with wild greens,  Greek salad and the classic Charcoal Beef Soutzoukaki but the star of the show was the Garides Koiladas – intensely red king prawns fished at a depth of 300 metres in the Valley of Ermionida – a very sought after delicacy and an absolute must if you love your seafood. The majority of the staff are of Greek origin and service was warm and natural. Being an independent hotel, it benefits from not having ‘over-trained’ staff.

You’ll also find an artisanal bakery onsite serving sandwiches, pastries, fruit tarts, tea and smoothies for a more relaxed and informal refuelling. We took our pastries and juices to the central chill out area to soak up the sun whilst devouring them. And finally, onto Aroma the charming onsite wine bar which features a curated collection of local and international wines. Paired with local cheese platter or Greek tapas. Divine. Like your ‘κρασί’? (greek for wine – you’ll need this word in your vocabulary), book their wine tasting class for an elevated experience.

If you’re looking to unwind and slip into a world of tranquillity, head straight to the resorts Aurora Spa and treat yourself to a choice of massages, facials or body treatments. We opted for a couples massage which was 80 minutes of pure relaxation and rejuvenation whilst being soothingly kneaded by their expert masseuses who took in our specific areas of need. The spa also boasts an indoor pool with soothing sea views, a sauna, steam room and rain showers. Feeling more energetic? Make full use of the fitness centre and training classes on offer. Maybe next time for me…

The complex also boasts two pools – the main ‘Blu’ infinity pool situated in front of Plateia so you can dip in and out between snacks whilst soaking in the sea views. The pool also has a separate area for kids making it an ideal hangout spot for families. If you’re in need of some child-free time, book them into ‘Bala’ the onsite kids’ club that combines the history of Greece with playtime. Educational fun! On the lower level you’ll discover ‘Aqua’ where you can laze around in the loungers and enjoy the resident DJs tunes whilst sipping on a cocktail (or two). You’ll also find several on-site retail shops scattered around so if you’re looking to treat yourself to a fancy holiday pair of shades or summer wear you won’t have to look far. The famous black-sanded beach of Kamari is a few minutes away (or an even shorter hotel buggy ride) which is an idyllic place to sunbathe and swim during the day or enjoy the lively evening tavernas at night. Sandblu offers its own private sunbed area away from the others with waiter service from Hook Bar so if you love to lose yourself for a few hours with a good book whilst sunbathing and taking the odd dip into the sea as I do whilst sipping on an ice cold drink and devouring a lamb souvlaki, this beach is the most popular of the island and a must. My only advice would be to wear sand shoes as the black sand gets pretty hot! (my wife chuckled as I did my best impression of a gecko on burning desert sand).

Extracurricular

If you do one thing in Santorini, take the Catamaran sunset cruise around the island to take in the stunning views and learn about the volcanic formation history of the area from the lively boat crew. Our Spiridakos Sailing Cruise took five hours which included Insta-opp views of the Red Beach of Aktotiri, the island’s iconic White Beach and several ‘jump in and snorkel’ moments – including one in the hot springs for a natural spa in the thermal volcanic mud waters - and concluded around 8.30pm as we watched the rather magnificent sunset. A truly magical experience. The trip also included drinks and a barbecue served towards the end. There are several tour operators but ours offered a transfer to and from our hotel making the whole excursion seamless. The boat captain, Leo, and his team really made the day a memorable one and Ibizan tunes played out throughout the trip.

The island is renowned for its guided walks along its dramatic cliffs for the optimal views of the azure waters. Head to the capital Thira for shopping inquaint Greek cobbled streets or Oia for unforgettable sunsets.

Which room?

Choose from rooms, suites or villas (17 of which have their own private pool) all within walking distance to the hotels restaurants, pools and spa. The higher you go, the more stunning the views are. We opted for the sea view suite with a pool to enjoy the early morning sunrises on the private terrace over a Greek coffee. Bliss.

Our trip was as a couple looking to escape our hectic lives for a bit of much needed time out. Families are also well catered for and the hotel’s location makes for an ideal base to explore the rest of the island (the islands’ bus service is well run or order a taxi).
