Diante in reservations is outstanding. I needed to make a change to my reservation and he was so professional, helpful, and pleasant. He was able to resolve my issue and get things taken care of quickly. It really is so awesome when you get connected to someone who cares about and is excellent at their job.

I would really like to say that Diante was so helpful when we were reserving our rooms. So informative and helpful. He gave me suggestions and things to do to help us make successful plans. Thank you so much for making this a special 60th birthday for my husband and spending time with my grand babies....

My stay at the Catamaran Resort was nothing short of special. I was visiting with my fiance for a wedding event recently and we had a minor problem with our room. Randy at the front desk went above and beyond our expectations to address the issue and ensure we had a pleasant stay. In addition to the wonderful hospitality, the resort had a lovely pool, beach and an arcade even adults can enjoy! I definitely recommend and will be coming back...We have another wedding here next year too! Not mine, but after this trip, my fiance and I are discussing the possibility of making a third visit down the road for our own nuptials! Read less

I called the hotel reservations line and worked with Diante to secure a last minute reservation for a business trip- he was great at helping me quickly and clearly understand my options and even took the extra step to find me some available discounts based on my length of stay! Thank you so much for your time and expertise, Diante!
