We just booked a week at the Catamaran Hotel in San Diego to celebrate my fathers 90th birthday. I needed extra help with the reservation and Diante in reservations did an excellent job of helping me! We are looking forward to 'walking down memory lane" to revisit homes we grew up in and many other wonderful places near this wonderful hotel!

This hotel is my home away from home. I look forward to spending time with those whom I consider to be my family. A special thanks to Dante who has become my personal travel expert. He is patient, personable, knowledgeable and just a special kind man. Thank you for always being willing to help this old lady. Lol

I just got my second massage from Shanna and need to make sure others know how great she is.While the whole spa is a lovely place to spend a day, if you have any stiff muscles that need some work I highly recommend a massage from Shanna while you're there. She REALLY knows her stuff and also knows exactly how to temper her treatment so you aren't in too much pain, but still get the most benefit. My neck felt so much better afterwards, I was so grateful! Ask for Shanna if you want someone who really knows their stuff - you won't be disappointed! Read less
