Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was really nice. The rooms, covered by a palm tree, were cozy, but I noticed some minor damages in the bathroom near the mirror. The service was superb, with delicious restaurants and an amazing adult pool for day lounging, though it took a bit long to fetch my car due to the busy resort. The location was incredible with breathtaking views of the golf course, mountains, and ocean. However, I felt there could have been more activities nearby. The dining experience was not the best, and the yogurt was not to my liking. Despite that, the facilities were of a kind, offering great amenities.
I was thrilled to be lulled to sleep by the crashing waves right outside my room. The rooms were clean, quiet, and conveniently close to all the pools and activities. However, they weren't exactly what we expected initially. The location, with an unbeatable view and friendly staff, was simply gorgeous, making morning workouts by the ocean a dream come true. The dining experience had its highs and lows, from enjoying a refreshing smoothie to being surprised by unexpected service fees. Overall, a delightful stay with some room for improvement in certain areas.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious with 1 and a half baths, but the breakfast at Catalina Kitchen was a bit small for my expectations considering the size of the spa.
