My husband and I and our five children checked into the Catamaran hotel for 15 nights, not ever having been to the Caribbean or Antigua before not knowing what to expect! Our expectations have been blown away and more!! The location and dream like geographical spot of this hotel is only surpassed by the genuine hospitality and utter out of the norm service provided by the owner Feona and her dedicated team of staff! The perfect blend of feeling like we have truly come home to the long lost family we never knew we had ! and professional level of “above and beyond” customer service which I dare anyone to find any where else! NOTHING is too much trouble (and with 5 children that is a feat in and of itself!) the level of hospitality is exceptional! Truly giving us things we didn’t even know we needed! The home-like feel from the moment we arrived as very inexperienced islanders! We felt totally relaxed from the moment Feona greeted us and showed us to our gorgeous authentic Antiguan rooms! Everything we need is at the hotel and so much more! Breakfast served by their chef to us on the private beach! Authentic rum punch just appeared served by the lovely David! (Out of this world and Dangerously good!!) so many facilities and extras that just weren’t shown on the website! The rooms are beautifully cool, exceptionally clean , a true taste of Caribbean decor. Beds are huge and so comfortable and the addition of a kitchenette is wonderful for families. The beach is white and tropical and constantly being raked and kept spotless by the grounds team! Hand delivered Mangoes fresh from one of the teams gardens for no cost! Just the joy of us tasting them! is just a small example of the level of thoughtfulness and family service big resorts just can’t deliver! We will aim to return to this hotel as many times as physically possible and recommended to as many friends as family as can come! This hotel is phenomenal and we would heartily recommend.
