Catamaran Resort Hotel

Right on Mission Bay, the Catamaran has its own beach, complete with watersports facilities. Built in the 1950s, the hotel has been fully renovated to modern standards without losing its trademark Polynesian theme, highlighted by a lobby waterfall and koi-filled lagoons. Guest rooms -- in either a 13-story building or one of the six two-story buildings -- have subdued South Pacific decor, and each has a balcony or patio. Tower rooms on higher floors have commanding views, and studios and suites have kitchenettes; the 9,300-square-foot spa features a menu of South Pacific and Asian-inspired treatments. The Catamaran is also within a few blocks of Pacific Beach's restaurant-and-nightlife scene, or you can visit the resort's resident eel at Moray's Lounge. During the summer, The Bahia Belle, a Mississippi River-style stern-wheeler boat, plies Mission Bay nightly (weekends only the rest of the year); guests board free of charge. Luaus are also a part of the summer fun.
