Family Getaway

This resort was so beautiful and made us feel like we really were in an island. From the moment we arrived, valet was very friendly, front desk staff efficient, concierge/bellhop very accommodating. The room was a perfect size for two adults and two young children. The beds were very comfortable. The entire resort was very family friendly and there were alot of activities for kids and guests of all ages. The private Bay Area was really nice and being able to walk across the street to mission beach is really accessible. We didn’t eat at the resort but the menu looked amazing! Lava Java was delicious. Very eager to stay here again!

We have stayed a few times at the Catameran, I came here alot as a child with my family as well. The rooms could absolutley use an update but this last visit our room was not very clean. In additon to the lack of cleanliness, we were "upgraded" to a room without consent, just told when the keys were handed over to us. We originally booked a resort view room which I was excited for because its a beautiful resort but was given a tower room on the 10th floor. Once we got to the room and was uncomfortable given the height and having a toddler and the lack of cleanleness we immediatly called the front desk to ask for our original room only to be told they are fully booked which means they never had our room we booked in advance avaliable in the first place. My husband went to speak to the manager who was very unprofressinal and rude and when he said we may leave she responded with "Okay." No customer service at all. Very sad as this was a place we have stayed at and loved but the lack of compassion from their staff has contemplating ever staying again!

Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived. We had to wait for almost a hour before we could get in our room . The room is very basic. For almost $500 per day! No tub, no bidet. Toiletries no daily supply. And a lot more. Very disappointing experience!
