| Directions
to Catamaran Resort from Airport
Suggested transport to the hotel from San
Diego International Airport is by shuttle bus, taxi or rental
car. The total distance is about 10 miles. The shuttle bus
(e.g. Cloud 9 shuttle) is the cheapest option for a single
person at about $9-11 one-way. A taxi will cost about $25,
which will work out cheaper for a group of 3 persons or more.
Rental cars can be booked at the rental car offices in the
baggage claim area. Maps of the airport terminals can be viewed
at http://gothere.com/sandiego/Airport/index.html
(The shuttles, taxis and rental car buses are located in the
area marked “Transportation Plaza” on the maps for
terminal 1 and 2).
By Shuttle bus:

in the baggage claim area
- Follow the signs to “ground transportation”(for

stating “Shuttles for Hire” or “Hotel Shuttles”
which mark the area for the hotel shuttle bus stops
There are several Shuttle bus companies
(e.g Cloud 9 shuttle, Access shuttle, Airport shuttle, Five
star shuttle, etc.). Speak to the Customer service representative
(wearing a blue shirt/jacket and tan pants) to arrange for

Resort Hotel in Pacific Beach”. He will then arrange
a shuttle bus that is going in the direction of your hotel.
You pay the driver of the shuttle bus directly. You will
