"Best reservation help I have ever had."
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 12, 2025 NEW
This review is more about the person that helped me make the reservation, than the resort itself. I've been to the Catamaran multiple times, and this time I'm planning a trip in March for my father's birthday. Renée Stauffer was the person I talked to to help me make my reservation. I wanted a room close to my family, as there are six of us gathering there, but also with a little bit of separation. She was so extremely helpful, and so friendly, and so nice. I can't tell you how nice it is to talk to somebody on the phone that is genuinely friendly and genuinely wants to help you in any way possible. She was absolutely lovely, and I wish every Hotel and Resort would have somebody like her answering the phones to help people out.

"Superior Service from The Catamaran's Reservations Agent"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 12, 2025 NEW
I booked a stay at The Catamaran for family members and me for a birthday celebration. The Senior Reservations Agent, Renee, was fantastic in taking the time to explain the layout of the resort and the best rooms for the occasion. She then helped me to book the rooms we wanted at a great price. 5-Stars to Renee! Thanks. Pat

"Employees making us feel like family"

Our whole trip was wonderful. We enjoyed the pool, and the video arcade center is always a favorite of my grandkids. Some stand out employees really made our vacation wonderful from the greeters to the concierge desk Pasquale, Barrett, Bryan and Greg always had a smile for us. The front desk where we interacted with Hitomi, Bertha, Kim, Layne and Randy, each and everyone of them were wonderful to us! We had the best time dining at Oceana Coastal Kitchen. Blanca is the sweetest gal and my grandson’s always love her. Our server Christina was wonderful and she remembered us from our last visit and knew what we were going to order! Amazing! We also loved that Margarita stopped by our table to say how much the boys have grown since our last visit . John was also helpful bringing us out our drinks to get started. The food is fantastic and we love dining here. We also found that Elsey and Loraina in housekeeping were standouts and finally we got to speak with Dennis the operator who always seemed to answer our calls and was super helpful too! Thank you for making us feel so special and we will see you in another 6 months again!
