Re: Catamaran Resort and Spa

This resort is a perfect 10 in our eyes!  When we visit San Diego, The Catamaran Resort is the one and only place for us to stay.  When walking through the resort, you feel as if you are on a tropical island with the beautiful white sandy beaches.  It's hard to believe we were only 90 minutes from our LA home. 

The Catamaran is located on the bay beach and literally within walking distance to the ocean beach.  It just doesn't get any better than that!  In the evening, you can watch the incredible fireworks show that Sea World puts on.  We had a great view of it from our Tower Room.

This year, we decided to check out the Bahia Bell Bay Cruise.  It was relaxing and enjoyable but I don't think that I would do it again.  The weather is ALWAYS perfect in San Diego so any day is a great day for the cruise.
