Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities

The rooms are old and dated. The first room we were given had a broken toilet and the balcony door what wouldn't close properly. The "studio" we rented had no utensils, plates or cups. The pool and hot tub were out of order for weeks but we were not told about it 2 days until our arrival. Housekeeping leaves a lot to be desired. The room was never vacuumed and we constantly had to call the front desk to ask for fresh coffee cups.

Catamaran Resort and Spa is a beautiful, family-friendly resort in a perfect bayfront location. The grounds are well maintained, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere is relaxing. The staff was friendly and the amenities were great for both kids and adults. The bird cage was a big hit with our toddler. Overall, it was an enjoyable, stress-free stay, and we would happily return and recommend it.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service

Staff was great! We didn’t have a lot of interaction but check-in & room service staff were very polite and helpful. Our room was spacious, clean & comfortable. Our 2nd floor garden room looked out on a koi pond with lots of tropical foliage. Unfortunately it was right next to housekeeping which started early & finished late (got noisy before sunrise) - coming in we had to go around back of the building along a gate separating the property from a city street, shimmy by a pole to get to the stairs which overlooked housekeeping/maintenance at the top & there was a housekeeping cart & supplies right outside our door - all lowering the ambience level significantly. The pool and whirlpool were closed due to maintenance & while a sign said we could use those amenities at a sister hotel we were not made aware of this when booking & were still charged the resort fee. We were definitely bummed to not be able to easily use the pool.

A wonderful place to stay. Great amenities, location to the beaches, food options on and within walking distance of the resort. Very friendly staff. Our only complaint was the cleaning staff must have forgotten to finish our room after our first night. The beds were made but towels, washcloths, coffee, paper coffee cups, and tissues were not replaced. We didn’t notice until the morning and it was too late to get them to bring replacements. Since we were only there two nights, we don’t know if it was just a mistake or if they only replace them on request.
