A lot more fees up front at the property then I have experienced from other expedia bookings; I wouldn't have minded that but we called 2 days before the booking and even day prior and the lady had ensured us a complimentary upgrade to the bay view king room, We were quite excited but when we got their that was not the case, They had upgraded the guy standing next to us in check in and once we went back after seeing the room they had no record of our upgrade plus they suddenly ran out, Funny buy sucked. We then check the night before check out to see if we can get a late check out since we weren't able to get the room, they said it looked more than likely since there was nobody booking up for the next day even called really early like at 3 AM and they still said the same thing call back around check out time the lady said there was nothing we checked the website and there was a few more of the same rooms on the same exact tower still available I called back the lady at the front as she seemed audibly angry and hung up, besides that Lain at the front desk was really great and helpful even though he couldn't accommodate the things promised to us before

It was okay, but I would not stay here again. Had some issues with my room and asked to change rooms, my key card deactivating more than once and the service in the restaurant was pretty awful. Good location, but with all the $$ you spend on parking, overpriced food and resort fees, it's not worth it. Would find somewhere else next time

The grounds are the highlight of the property. The grounds crew were always working on the landscaping and were always so nice. The bay area is beautiful (although the water isn't really clean but it is the bay) The staff were super nice. It's in a very easy area to walk one block to the beach. The kids loved the free video games.

Go elsewhere.
Other than the location which is nice I have nothing good to say unfortunately. Starting from the rude person the checked us in, through the outdated rooms from the 70’s. All the facilities that are closed, not working, run down or have another issue And ending with the restaurant that the hotel claimed had to be shut down due to a leak but I suspect was closed down due to that would be fixed over night but was never fixed during the following 3 days until we left ( they were shut down for health violations a couple months ago….). Will definitely not come back and suggest you do the same.

Once you are inside the Catamaran it is like being transported to a beautiful tropical garden. The rooms are large and spacious, the view of the bay spectacular, and the staff caring and helpful. However, Pacific Beach does not feel very family friendly and there is not much to do. Unfortunately the Catamaran's restaurants (both the outdoor and inside ones) are very expensive and do not have the type of food that children (and many adults like to eat). In the past Moray's served great bar food (sliders, fries, calamari) that a family could enjoy at a reasonable price. But no longer. This means seeking food in Pacific Beach which does not feel safe after dark.

The restaurant was closed, they had no hot food at all and didn’t let anyone know prior. Bar only took a card due to not having change. They gave 2 towels for a room fitting 5, we had to constantly ask for towels. I will never stay here again.
