Our stay at the Catamaran Hotel was truly delightful. From the moment I arrived, the front desk service, particularly from Randy, was exceptional, setting the tone for a fantastic experience. The kids were thrilled by the entertaining bird tricks, adding a unique touch to our stay. Dinner at Oceana Coastal was a highlight of our trip, with the rosemary bread standing out as a particularly memorable culinary delight. The hotel's tropical landscaping added to the overall ambiance, creating a serene and picturesque setting. Overall, our time at the Catamaran Hotel was filled with wonderful moments and lasting memories. Read less

I had an incredible massage from Christina. I requested that she focus on my shoulders and she really opened them up - my mobility was much better the next day. She used very firm pressure but the massage still felt comfortable and relaxing. Highly recommend!

Amazing stay at the Catamaran- special shout out to Diante for helping us book our stay in a beautiful room! We were there for leisure and were able to enjoy the spa, restaurant, bar, and scenery. I would definitely stay at this hotel again, and have many times before.
