Pros: Everything to like! Water activities, great restuarants with fantastic staff, Great spa, fun activities and lots of pools
Cons: Only reason I gave a few 4 stars and not all 5 stars Bocce ball court was covered in the roots of the trees next to it. Rooms felt a little dated but still nice for a 50+ year old resort. Spa had a couple of Hiccups. Two left sandals. And a Large robe for a someone that needs a 5xl. No horseshoe pits. Have to make your own.

Pros: beautiful sunsets
Cons: really terrible hidden $37 parking fee and the resort upkeep not great. also bring a trash can because there is not a single one on the property.

Pros: The location was good and the grounds were nice.
Cons: The bed was very uncomfortable. Nothing great about the room that made it any better than a Motel 6. The price was steep for what we got. The one night we went to the hot tub it had way too much chlorine in it. When we kicked the jets on it was burning our eyes. Both the AC and the fridge were extremely loud. I had to leave the AC off and unplug the fridge to fall asleep. A lot of extra fees even after booking a total cost package. Those fees were over $100 in"resort fees" and then parking fees on top if that. All in all, I would rather have stayed elsewhere considering what we did on the trip.

Pros: It's a green property good for families going to sea world and nearby attractions but nothing else nearby.
Cons: The room was dirty and seemed like it wasn't touched in weeks. As soon as we sat on the beds large clouds of dust escaped from underneath and gave my sister an asthma attack. The bath tub was peeled and needs resurfacing. The heater was broken and made a loud noise throughout the night.

Pros: The grounds were gorgeous, the staff was very helpful and so pleasant. The rooms were spacious and had great little patios with lounging chairs. We very much enjoyed the restaurants, great ambiance and tasty! Would definitely recommend, and would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Cons: The bed/pillows were a bit uncomfortable.
Excellent
9.1
Pros: The staff was very friendly and accommodating in every way. The grounds were really nice and relaxing.
Cons: You do get hit with an excessive parking fee, which I find weird since the hotel owns the whole area. The rooms could use a little bit more TLC (better cleaning, spiderwebs, and bugs in room). Our outside chairs were beyond filthy, sitting in them would have left our clothes stained in dirt/filth. Beds were okay comfort wise. Any issues brought up to the staff was quickly and generously remedied.

7.1
Pros: I enjoyed the view of the water and the jungle like grounds.
Cons: For $300 a night the rooms should be updated. The bed was of low quality and the TV did not swivel to face the bed. The bathroom was old and needed to be redone. The air conditioner sounded like it was on its last leg.
Excellent
8.8
Pros: All the activities within the resort with no need to leave. There are many restaurants and not to mention room service. Room service arrived at the promised time. Customer service was awesome! The pool was awesome, availability or rentals, bikes, paddle boats etc was great. The property is so big that it's fun to rent a bike and explore! I was doubtful after reading yelp reviews so I wanted to see for myself. I have to say I will definitely be coming back soon with my extended family.
Cons: Bathroom needs bathroom paint which resists water damage, other than that the room was great and my family loved it!
"Nestled on the beach, this Point Loma hotel is within 6 mi (10 km) of Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, Old Town San Diego State Park and USS Midway Museum. SeaWorld and Seaport Village are also within 9 mi (15 km). "

Pros: The rooms are gorgeous; smaller but well appointed with top notch linens and mattresses. Views were spectacular.
Cons: No storage for clothes, ants in room, missed a day of cleaning after we were gone for 8 hours. Wouldn’t bring scissors to room. Nobody answered at room service for 5 minutes. Next time we tried room service food was brought; no cutlery. Cutlery came 25 minutes later and food was already cold. Still no soup spoon. Restaurant was average at best but still very costly. Manager did his best to alleviate issues but could only do so much. Just not the level of service expected from a resort of this cost.

Pros: I liked the private beach area that faced the marina. There were comfy chairs around fire pits and cabanas to enjoy. The pool area was also nice. We loved the dive in movie and the complimentary popcorn and kids drinks. The restaurant, Vessel, offered us excellent food and customer service from server Matt H.
Cons: The parking. $27 to involuntarily valet park my car. We had to walk from the lobby to our room in the 4th building with all of our luggage and our toddler, only to find that the car got parked right outside of our room. There was ample parking in the lot, so the valet stipulation made no sense.

Pros: Relaxing with great amenities and unbelievable views from the courtyard and restaurant.
Cons: Check-in is later than normal- our room wasn't ready until after 3. We were able to drop off our luggage and wander around the beautiful island in the meantime. Parts of the hotel have a musty smell. We were able to switch to a better room for only $30 to avoid this.

Pros: We liked the rooms and facilities (pool, marina side beach)
Cons: They tried to put us in a room with one bed when we booked a room with two doubles, we are a family of three and I refuse to put my daughter on a roll away, when we booked for two beds. The other people checking in at the same time we were also had problems with their accommodations.

Cons: Construction at the hotel was not expected, and the hotel did not even try to make up for this fact. The hotel front desk was rather short with my friend who came to visit and asked if he needed to pay for parking. Even once the construction is complete, I would recommend against staying here. The way that construction was handled and the staff's attitude and lack of experience plays to the ultimate character of the management and ownership.

Pros: The location was great, quietly located at the end of Shelter Island with good views of Point Loma, North Island, and the Pacific. I enjoyed the waterfront path and could get a good 4+ mile run in with little of it on the street.
Cons: There was some confusion as a result of a change of ownership and renovation. We needed a guest laundry facility and we were told by one employee there was a quarter operated laundry only to be told by another employee that it was closed. No microwave was available for use on the entire property. The pool never had towels available, happy hour was only inside not at the pool bar, and the gym was closed/non existent yet we were charged a "resort" fee upon checkout. Also, parking was pricey even though half the parking lot was closed to be used as a construction staging area forcing us to park a long distance from our room. For the money, stay next door at the Best Western Plus.
Excellent
8.8
Pros: The room was very nice & the resort seemed to be very well maintained. The pool area & hot tub next to the marina were great places to hang out. We had a bay view room & the views from the room were great! In fact, we were able to watch the tall sailing ships sailing up & down the bay on Labor Day weekend.
Cons: The food & drinks were a bit pricey but we had good service & everything tasted really good. We'll definitely try the bloody mary bar next time.
"Located in Rancho Bernardo, this spa resort is 1.4 mi (2.3 km) from Bernardo Winery, and within 6 mi (10 km) of The Vineyard at Escondido and Old Poway Park. California Center For The Arts and San Diego Zoo Safari Park are also within 9 mi (15 km). "

Pros: This is a lovely hotel and I would stay there again. Wish I stayed longer to try their spa but it was a quick 2 day business trip and literally in and out. I did dine at Avant and had the crab and pear salad. Very good but not big enough for a meal alone. My CEO had the lamb and my friend had the free range chicken and they very much enjoyed it. For dessert we had the delicious chocolate trio and it was enough for 2-3 people so we shared. My CEO learned of a death in his family upon arriving to the hotel and they sent a complimentary bottle of wine and cheese to his room. I thought that was extremely generous and kind. The staff really went above and beyond at every turn to make my stay as pleasant as possible. Thank you RBI!
Cons: I stayed in the Greens on the top floor. Nice view of the golf course and fountain; however, my room was in the middle of the building and you had to walk to either end of the long building and climb stairs with luggage to get to the top floor as there is no elevator. The parking spots are very small and I had rented a standard size suv so I had to park further away from the building than desired. Overall, just small stuff.
Good
7.3
Pros: The setting is beautiful, very peaceful
Cons: They advertise a shuttle to take you to and from the hotel within five miles (there is no means of transportation or anything within walking distance) yet there is no shuttle and while we requested the service several times it was never an good time for staff to drive you into town.
With a stay at Catamaran Resort and Spa in San Diego (Mission Beach), you'll be a 5-minute drive from Belmont Park and 14 minutes from SeaWorld. Featured amenities include a computer station, dry cleaning/laundry services, and a 24-hour front desk. Planning an event in San Diego? This resort has facilities measuring 25,000 square feet (2 square meters), including a conference center. Self parking (subject to charges) is available onsite.

Cons: The AC went out in our building they were not able to give us a different room. My 2 month old baby ended up with a heat rash it was terrible. Then the soap dish was covered in hair as the last customer shaved and tiny hairs were all over our soap. The humidity without an AC was unbearable. We paid way too much for what we got. Hotel did nothing about any of this.

Pros: The staff is exceptional; kind, friendly, engaging and exceed our expectations every time! The grounds are kept pristine with the peacefulness you seek while getting away from the hustle and bustle. The ducks, parrots and koi fish make you feel like you're on a tropical island. The food, variety of things to do and the river boat are all unique touches that make us look forward to our next visit before we've even left! Not to mention best pool, Jacuzzi and spa we've ever found! If you haven't been there before, you simply MUST experience The Catamaran! Plus, centrally located to many San Diego hot spots!

8.0
Pros: Great value for the money! Lots of local activities to do on the property, and wonderful accommodations throughout. It's a great place to try Stand Up Paddle Boarding for your first time! Rooms are spacious if you get the suite, and we really loved the grounds! It's a tropical paradise! Well maintained! The restaurants are pretty good, we would recommend the Sunday brunch at Oceana! Also, take advantage of the Bahia Belle cruise in the evening hours.
Cons: Unfortunately, when you make a late night request, the staff doesn't come up to your room and bring you whatever you need. Aka, we needed some late night towels and we were told to come down to the front desk (all the way from the tower rooms) and get them ourselves. This has never happened to me, especially at a "4-star" resort. In addition, I have been to many spas in my lifetime, and I felt that their spa treatment was very overpriced for the quality of massage received. Overall, we can't decide if we would come back because the positives were so great, and the negatives were so bad! We are 50/50.
Good
7.7
Pros: Location is a 10! Great for a young family. Beach without waves on the bay just out your door and the glorious Pacific Ocean just across the street literally a 2 minute walk. Our family had a wonderful time there. My daughter won't stop talking like a parrot after being fascinated with the birds. Great restaurant also.
Cons: Just needs an updating on the rooms, hall's bathrooms.
Good
7.7
Pros: The catamaran is a beautiful tropical property on Mission Bay. There is lush tropical vegetation and a distinct feeling of Hawaii. The restaurant and Bar are close to the water and provide a beautiful and relaxing setting for business or pleasure. The rooms themselves are vintage, meaning that they could use updating.
Cons: Rooms needed updating. No noise insulation from outside, although the other guests were respectful and quiet on a Monday night.
Excellent

Pros: The quiet room overlooking the garden. Large plastic trash bag. Good wifi. Close to Bay and Ocean.
Cons: One of our neighbors talked loudly on her phone about 3 am, with her voice carrying into the garden. We closed our patio door and it was okay.
"Situated on the waterfront, this spa resort is within 2 mi (3 km) of Mission Bay, Belmont Park, and SeaWorld. Mission Beach and Dog Beach are also within 2 miles (3 km). "

Cons: the room was not well maintained the tub has some kind of paint over it and there was a massive chip out of it. I complained to the front desk, who would not let me speak to a manager. Therefore nothing was done to improve my situation and I have little faith that the overall issue of poor maintenance was addressed. this was in the "suites" section. I actually wanted to be in the tower and they moved us to these and said there were no rooms in the tower. So be sure to emphasize what room type you want.

We had to walk a bit to Einstein brothers which is a bagel place just to get coffee. They had coffee in the rooms but then you're using paper accessories like the cream.

Pros: Location was great and like the new couch beds in the rooms. Also staff was very accommodating
Cons: Need better food options. Everything here is very expensive for less than mediocre quality. The newly named pelicans doesnt have that big of menu, only open until 10pm and is small. Red marlin also has a smaller menu, higher prices and breakfast is way to expensive. Need a "normal" restaurant for 24 hours. Gift shop closed for 30min at a time during their own business hours which is inconvenient. Not to mention a resort fee PLUS parking fee almost doubled your nightly stay price

Pros: It'a all about the location. We could see and hear the fireworks from Sea World every night. We borrowed boogie boards and an umbrella so we could enjoy a day at the beach with comfort.
Cons: We selected a room with a view. What we got was a view of trash bins. They charge a $19 resort fee per day, and you also have to pay $27/day to park in their lots. They have LOTS of "extra" fees that I was not aware of. Their bed was no better than a Comfort Inn, and at the Comfort Inn they definitely have better pillows. I expected more and received a lot less.
