I am a very experienced traveler and what is most important to me is a friendly staff and supportive manager if a problem arises. Calling the hotel for info before your arrival is impossible. They place you on hold every 10 seconds. We were promised a shuttle.. But I guess the day we arrived it "just wasnt running".. We stood... More

Stayed at the Catalina for 5 days, 4 nights and there is something going on every night. Live entertainment and happy hour every night 7-8. (free drinks rum, vodka, gin) be sure to tip the bar tender, shes pretty cool plus it will make for better drinks! Food menu is a little much but the burgers are great!($20 maxine bristo)... More

The Catalina Hotel is awfull.I will not recommend anyone to stay there. The staff was helpless and unfreindly.They were so "in a hurry" to charge me $16.78 per night of the resort fee which was not included in the booking price like in most hotels.But they did not bother to inform me that we can get the beach towels and...

We stayed in this hotel for four nights as part of a package before joining a cruise ship leaving from Miami. In all there were 12 people (6 couples) all retired that flew out from the UK on this deal. The hotel rooms are just a brightly coloured version of a Travelodge but smaller. The food was expensive. My wife... More

We stayed in the Catalina for a week. The location is great and I found it very good value. The rooms were comfortable and nice but I would opt for the rooms in the building with the Kung Fu sushi restaurant as they are much nicer than the rest. What really made the Catalina a fun trip was the bar... More

We were billeted at the Maxime's and this is one of the 3 Catalina's buildings which are loated side by side with each other. This is not a family hotel at all and this is a fire trap dangerous place. The elevator is so small, the hallway is so narrow too dark everywhere. The room is so small and the... More

I just had a fantastic week in the Catalina, normally I don't review places, but I just had to in this instance. The room, was clean, if unspectacular, I think the rooms that my friends had in the adjacent building are way cooler (kung-fu sushi bar building). The happy hour was great, my friend Kieran really availed of it! The... More

Stayed here for New Years. Had an amazing time for the party held at the hotel. It was so much better than going to a night club. Plus the employees were of great service. Anything I needed they were able to give me. I brought my 1 1/2 year old son and thought it would have been too much craziness... More
