We have been staying at this hotel for 4 yrs. It's a little piece of heaven. It's beautiful & relaxing, and clean. I want to commend Diante Ashby, reservations agent. He makes sure that all our needs are met and that we get the best room at the best price.

We stayed at the resort in March and my daughter had a blast so we decided to book again for the summer with her older siblings for their birthdays. I booked with Rene at Catamaran and she was so polite and provided phenomenal customer service. She was able to fulfill all of my requests.

Renee in reservations was amazing! She was so personable, helpful and professional! She made sure we had everything we needed and told us about all the local attractions in and around the area. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Renee for going above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience!

I dropped into Java Lava for my usual morning coffee and I met Bella. It was her first day as a Barista and she was excellent. My Americano was perfectly brewed, the breve was steamed extra hot as I like it. The fact that was new and learning the menu was not obvious. She handled everything like a pro.

Wonderful experience booking and working with Diante Ashby and The Catamaran Resort & Spa Hotel. He was so helpful with the whole process when I reserved the wrong room online and he worked with me to find the right fit for our family I would 10/10 recommend just by his professionalism alone.
