We had a wonderful stay at the resort, which is nestled in a beautiful setting overlooking a serene beach. The beach is stunning and the staff was incredibly accommodating. However, the dining experience had some inconsistencies, and the number of stairs was a bit overwhelming at first. Despite these minor issues, it's definitely a relaxing getaway with a delightful atmosphere.

My stay at the Catalina Beach Resort was absolutely wonderful! The breathtaking views and the calming atmosphere truly made for a relaxing experience. Although there were quite a few stairs to navigate, it was completely worth it for the beautiful beachfront and the cozy private terrace. The rooms were spacious but a bit on the rustic side, and some minor issues with the shower were a bit disappointing. Overall, I left feeling rejuvenated and can't wait to return.

Our stay at the Catalina was quite frustrating due to numerous issues. While the beach was absolutely beautiful, the lack of air conditioning and well-maintained rooms really dampened the experience. We faced uncomfortable conditions due to the extreme heat and poorly maintained facilities, making this trip less enjoyable than expected.
