What could be more essential to creating an energiz-
ing and productive program than the relaxing setting of
San Diego’s magnificent Mission Bay and its necklace of
ocean- and bayfront beaches?
Whether you spend an afternoon at the beach or lying
beside our tropical-style pool, you’ll find relaxation is
just steps from your room. For a more thrilling departure
from your business day, take to the waters of Mission
Bay with a kayak lesson or tour our shoreline on a
WaveRunner or windsurfer. Completing the balance of
mind, body, and soul, the Catamaran Resort is located
along a 7-mile jogging, rollerblading, and walking path
which travels the shoreline of Mission Bay. And be sure
to visit our new bayside Spa.
San Diego’s climate provides finest year-round weather,
with warm sunny winters, cool breezy summers, and
always low humidity.

rooms include steam and sauna rooms.

your room.
