First impression was stunning. All the class and comfort of a 5 star hotel with Caribbean style and character. Feona and Dinah gave a warm welcome and the beach is 2 steps away. A place for the world weary traveller to rediscover the joy of first class hospitality, sunshine and good living. It more than lived up to expectations and was good for the soul. Highly recommended- the best choice for a true Antiguan unique experience.

Hi Feona,
Sorry we missed saying bye to you when we left the hotel after our 2 weeks stay.
We all really enjoyed our time at the Catamaran. You and all your staff were great,everyone had a smile and nothing was too much trouble, everyone was so friendly. The location and accommodation were just what we were looking for. Our superior rooms which over looked the harbour must have had one of the best views on the island. We can't wait to visit you all again soon. Thanks for a super holiday.

Hi Feona:
Lindsy and I made it back to New Jersey just fine - and happily filled with many wonderful memories of staying at the Catamaran. Thank you so much for your hospitality and for introducing us to your family. We'll certainly recommend the Catamaran to anyone we know who's thinking of going to
Antigua - and, while we're at it, we'll do our best to let other people know how magical your country and your hotel are.
Thank you so much,
Warm hug,

Dear Feona,
We had a lovely cruise although I didn't catch any fish which were as big and as exciting as the 2 snook I caught just in front of the hotel. Louise and I want to thank you for your hospitality--you and your staff really make your guests feel welcomed.
We look forward to a next visit--whenever that may be.
Fondly,
Charles and Louise August

if you want extremely friendly staff, real value, a large, very clean room with a nice view, and if want to get a true taste of the island life, I can't imagine you will find any better place than the Catamaran. While the rooms are not air conditioned, there was always enough wind with the windows open to keep the room comfortable. Don't worry; the windows have screens, so mosquitoes were kept at bay, though you won't avoid every one of them. I can say that we never once found bugs in the room, and the place was kept ultra clean by an extremely friendly staff. Free use of their sailboats, dinghies and paddleboats isn't a bad thing either!
Keep in mind a couple things when you choose hotels on the islands: Every hotel or property is a trade-off. If you go to an all-inclusive, you probably won't go off-site and get a real flavor of the people or the food, and most everyone you meet will be another tourist. If you go to a smaller property, the beach probably isn't going to be as good, but you will spend much less money for the lodging, and you'll get real local food and probably come out ahead on the $. If you go to a property with a huge beach, you are much more likely to end up a long distance away from a good selection of restaurants, and need a rental car to get around. You are also much more likely to be far away from any decent snorkeling or other things of interest (other than the beach). If you get a hotel "in town" you'll be hard pressed to be on a good beach at all, since the town is generally built on the biggest harbor, which is designed for the import/export of goods, not for sunbathing & swimming. For us, the Catamaran provided the fewest trade-offs and met the highest number of our needs for the right price point.

Feona,
What a wonderful vacation....I wrote to my son and said it was "the best ever"...his reply-he knows me- was that it had to be better than anything he's ever done to get that kind of rating.

Beth & Tony: 03 / 07.

Dear Feona,
We had a wonderful time at your hotel and would like to come back someday. Thank you so much.

Dear Feona

As we sit here by the fireside reminiscing on our amazing holiday in Antigua, we have been giving ourselves a pat on the back for having chosen the Catamaran Hotel & Marina.

The location of your hotel and the quality of its accommodation, together with the warmth, friendliness and care of you and all your staff made our holiday truly memorable.

Don't think you have seen the last of us!!

Kind regards

Hi Feona, I am so sorry it has taken us so long to contact you. We

recommending it to numerous people. We are missing the wonderful
hospitality and weather of Antigua and wish e were back with you.
Hopefully we can make another trip down to visit

Dear Feona, Dinah and all our friends at the Cat club. Thank you for treating us like family. Chloé and Annabelle think it their second home! Antigua is a wonderful place and you have captured that spirit in your lovely hotel. Why go any where else? See you next year, much love
