Fodor's "Everything in this quirky, romantic boutique hotel, from the decor of the restaurant Wish, to the tie-dye bathrobes hanging in the small but cute bathrooms, is colorful and eclectic." Full review

Rough Guide Star

"Designed for randy 20-somethings who can rage until 4 a.m., the Catalina can be a godsend." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Catalina takes the value-added approach to South Beach nightlife and succeeds without feeling cheap or cheesy." Full review
Time Out "The flagship boutique of the South Beach Group, the Catalina is fun, trendy and affordable, if a bit rough around the edges." Full review

Ask for a quiet room if you don't like a party.
Star Service "The location here, across the beach from the Marseilles and kitty-corner from the Delano and SLS, is about as close to the heat as you can get without having your hand in the fire." Full review
Gayot "It is actually, as its budget prices suggest, across Collins Avenue from this uptown Sobe strip's ultra-upscale oceanfront hotels."
BlackBook "Here is where you stay if you want to do all the chic hotel bar-hopping at the Delano, Shore Club, et. al, but would rather not pay to stay there."
Fodor's "The Catalina is the budget party spot in the heart of South Beach's hottest block and attracts plenty of 20somethings with its free nightly drink hour." Full review
Not For Tourists "Tendy hipster art deco hotel without the trendy hipster prices."
Afar Magazine "As for the cost, it’s the perks that make the Catalina worth the price tag, which is reasonable compared to its oceanfront neighbors." Full review
