Catamaran Hotel Marina

Although we were here during off season, the staff was amazing in accommodating us. Ms. Feona was super kind to my family and I, even answering questions after hours. The private beach here was a beautiful view to wake up to and breakfast was always delicious.

This is a family run business. Colin was extremely helpful in all aspects. His Mom very polite and sweet. Makes you feel good

We stayed at the Catamaran for 5 nights and loved the place. We were here during the low season and had the place for our selves. We had two rooms on the ground floor (9 and 10) and appreciated the veranda next to the beach. Continental breakfast was served at our veranda and was enough for a good start of the day. We rented a car at the airport so we could explore Antigua and that worked out great. There are many restaurants in the area. We enjoyed BarB’s a lot with a nice happy hour and great food and views.

The supermarket although small is 5 minutes walk to stock your fridge.

We drove to many beaches in the area and ran a trail every morning at 6 to explore the area which was fun and good exercise.

We highly recommend the Catamaran.

This hotel was fantastic. The beach is perfectly calm, I was the only one there during my stay. The staff are incredibly sweet, the receptionist gave me a slice of her pineapple when I left!

I had checked out of another hotel on the other side of the island and so showed up at about 11 am, even though check in was 3 pm. They let me right into my room, probably because she said it was low season.

The beds are firm but comfortable, shower gets hot fast. There is a good restaurant (Cloggy's) next door and there is a little store/ice cream and snack shop pretty close by as well. Breakfast came right at the agreed-upon time, and was eggs, some fruit, juice, and toast/bread.

The surrounding area is way more low-key than the north side of the island, it is very relaxing. I would definitely come back to this hotel if I return to Antigua!

I had to check out of my previous hotel so I arrived several hours before 3:00 pm check in. But the receptionist was super friendly and let me go to my room right away.

Amazing location right on its own quiet beach. Close to a good restaurant (Cloggys) and a little store and snack/ice cream shop. Breakfast was simple and very good. The housekeeping staff brought it to my room at the agreed upon time. The owner was so nice, I wish I could have stayed longer!!!

We loved the private beach area and pool. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great too!

Lovely authentic hotel but don’t book with Hotels.com book direct.

We tried to shorten our stay for one of the two rooms we had booked within the allowable dates for change ..they say they couldn’t get hold of the hotel and by the time they did it was outside of terms …the room was relet to another family but hotels.com won’t refund us our two days despite screenshots of the conversation and the hotel not helping us resolve it . £500 out of pocket.

This is a very basic level of accommodation

Friendly staff, willing to help. Nice and relaxing

An authentic family run hotel in a great location. The staff are so friendly. The food was lovely and it has a Bar too. The rooms are large with kitchenettes. Worth getting a room with a view. Great location. Sea is clear but sloggy so beach shoes might be required.

Liked the beach proximity.

Just returned from a fabulous 2 weeks stay at the Catamaran hotel .
Loved so many things about this hotel . Firstly it's set on the beach and loved that I could have my first cuppa of the day with my toes in the water and in the company of whisky the 3 legged cat. The beach was never busy ,no fighting for the supercomfy sunbeds . The sea a little murky looking but safe and easy to float by the pelicans and royal terns that sat on the posts patrolling the sea for fish . Cloggies and sweet ts a few yards away for easy food and drinks and 2 supermarkets for supplies.
Found the buses run regularly into English harbour for restaurants and bars but we usually enjoyed the walk back in the dark with a torch . Found a craft beer garden called "saute",just past the crab hole supermarket which did a great healthy stir fry and into town a place called "that's life" which was also good value for money and excellent food and friendliness .
Back to the Catamaran-Colin and his family were very helpful and friendly, we had a trip o er to Pigeon point in Colins boat and our room was kept spotless by a lovely lady who was always smiling and obliging.
For those who want on tap nightlife and perfect modern rooms ,this place is not for you ! The rooms have an old fashioned look and are slightly rough round the edges ,but had everything we needed and wanted ,with breakfast being an interesting surprise everyday . Thank you for a wonderful holiday with you ♡♡♡

This was my second time staying at the Catamaran hotel. My experience again was lovely and peaceful. The location is perfect, because I like quieter hotels. I don't enjoy the big hotel chains, because they can be loud and I feel the experience is not always enjoyable. The other pro of this hotel is that it has a private beach and beach loungers which is very nice.

Close to English harbour and all the main tourist attractions e.g. Shirley heights , Nelson dockyard to name a few. Pigeon point beach is a nice quiet beach and is 9 minutes away in a taxi.

In summary, if you prefer a quiet, peaceful and enjoyable holiday, then I recommend this hotel. Friendly staff, nice service and very friendly tourists.

Cons
The restaurant was closed which was a real shame, because the food there was very nice when I was here in January 2024.

Breakfast was below standard, not much of a variety, and the selection of foods vary limited and often disjointed.
I would recommend going elsewhere for breakfast as there are local shops and places to eat.

Overall, great experience and lovely holiday. I will definitely be coming back again next year.

A lovely quiet hotel, with decent sized rooms, staff are accommodating and friendly.

The hotel location is perfect for staying at Falmouth Harbour whilst being far enough out of town to avoid the nightly hustle and bustle in the centre. The rooms are reasonable size with decent, solid furniture. We had two family rooms, which contained two double beds, showers, kitchen facilities and large fridge/freeze units. Aircon worked fine, and there were ceiling fans too.

Hotel facilities included kayaks and little sailing boats, which you could just take out whenever you fancied - there was no extra charge for this and in the time that we were there you could always get hold of them. About 750m away across the harbour you could go to Pigeon Point Beach, or there were other more secluded beaches towards the West... or you could paddle around the superyachts (there were a lot in mid January!)

We were there to welcome back a cross-Atlantic rowing team, coming in to the Yacht Club - sadly they returned at night so we couldn't greet them by kayak. The rowing boats coming in for the Worlds Toughest Race (cross-Atlantic) alight at English Harbour, which is the next bay along, but it would not be safe to get round there in the small kayaks. It's great fun watching them come in, holding flares aloft while lots of the yachts and superyachts are blowing their horns and the support boats are racing round them, doing "doughnuts".

We hired a car from a local company, and there was always plenty of parking space at the rear of the hotel.

The staff were very friendly and helpful all the time. They gave good advice on local places to visit, eating locations, supermarkets and so on. There were a couple of eating places very close (Cloggys and Sweet Ts). Other guests used the local buses to get into town (only a mile or so away, but few people seemed to walk that far).

Our rooms faced onto a private(?) beach, and in the week that we stayed there we only saw other hotel guests and staff, with no pedlars hassling you to buy souvenirs.

Breakfasts were served each morning on the verandas in front of the rooms at 8:15am, give or take a 1/4 hour. This gave ample opportunity to chat with the neighbours, or studiously look the other way if you didn't like the look of them! We made some great new friends by chatting with other guests while waiting for breakfasts.

The island isn't particularly bad for mosquitos, and there were mesh screens on all doors anyway.

For things to do nearby, the music and food at Shirley Heights on a Thursday or Sunday is great and good value for money, and no trip to Antigua is complete without a visit to Stingray City. There are lots of restaurants in the area, and we never found a bad one.

Our favourite supermarket nearby was "Crab Hole Liquors" (not least because the name sounds like a pun). The Covent Garden supermarket in Falmouth Harbour may be the largest supermarket nearby but the range wasn't actually all that good and it seemed very expensive - clearly aiming at the superyacht crowd who didn't care what they were spending.

Lovely small hotel tucked away at Falmouth harbour, nice, quiet and relaxing, staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast delivered to the room could have been better quality. The hotel is a bit of a walk away from the main road and transport facilities, so need a car to get around. Otherwise enjoyed the stay for five nights, would certainly recommend it for a couple or family

Very nice atmosphere! Very, very quiet! Nice little restaurant and bar on the property. Staff and service was great.

I think ….a couple of things. One was the ability to check in well beyond our check in time but that might be because it wasn’t too busy (and check out time is 12 noon!!)
Two was its location on the beach, with a perfect blend of the essence of the Caribbean..proximity to beach, ambience and coziness both on and off the beach. It is a beautiful, secluded, well shaded and quiet place to disconnect.
And Whiskey, the three legged feline, captivated all in our party!
Would highly recommend!!

On beach front close to Falmouth , small hotel so limited facilities but location excellent, all rooms with beach front downstairs or beach view from balcony upstairs

Visited with exclusive group. Lovely character full hotel with brilliant staff. Location is fantastic with the bay to ourselves apart from the pelicans. Water is very gentle but deep enough to swim. Although many bars and attractions closed for off season, would happily return
