Where to Eat, Stay, and Play in SoCal
Say “Aloha!” to the Catamaran Resort, San Diego’s original Polynesian-inspired hotel, featuring a popular bayside luau that’s fun for the whole family and several island-themed activities amidst its tropical setting. Sunset Luaus on Mission Bay, June 24 through September 2, feature a delicious all-you-can-eat Hawaiian buffet, authentic island music, hula dancing, fiery torch performers, and even a volcano that erupts confetti. Guests also receive a lei and Mai Tai. New this year is Premium VIP seating close to the stage.
The poolside Keiki Klub (Kids Club), happening daily from 1-3 p.m., features complimentary Hawaiian-inspired arts and crafts. Guests of all ages can be transported to the islands with complimentary Hula Lessons and fresh flower Lei Making (cost $20), which take place bayside on Tuesdays and Fridays from 3-5 p.m.
Continuing the island vibe, guests can enjoy a real-life, outdoor enchanted tiki room during daily Bird Shows at 3 p.m. (except on Sundays and Wednesdays), featuring Chadwick the cockatoo and his five feathered friends, including colorful talkative parrots – all Insta-worthy photo ops!
