I love the Catamaran, it's my hotel of choice on mission bay. We are a water sports family- kayak, paddle board, sail, bike, surf...it's close to everything, very convenient to bay and ocean, but honestly, I have only visited in spring and fall. Summer time is great if you have small kids but for me it was just a little too busy and too noisy in our 1st floor oceanfront suite. For $3000/3 nights, 2 of the 3 days we were there, the water view was completely obstructed by setting up for their Thursday and Friday night luau. Hammering stakes, setting up a stage and unfolding chairs and tables and putting up "fencing".... STARTED at 715 am!!!, the view of the water and bay were obstructed by the tiki fence built around the Lua area. I tried to walk out on the cement pathway in front of our room # 516 to get to the restaurant and was told the path/sidewalk was only open to the folks going to the luau. I would have to go back to my room and walk out the rear door and access through the restaurant through the lobby......
