Evans Hotels Announces Exciting New Partnership with The Guestbook to Reward Guests at Bahia Resort Hotel and Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa

SAN DIEGO, CA—Evans Hotels, a family-owned hospitality brand with deep roots in San Diego for over 70 years, is pleased to announce a new partnership with The Guestbook, the world’s leading cash-back hotel loyalty program. This collaboration will launch at two of Evans Hotels' most iconic coastal properties—the Bahia Resort Hotel and the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa—offering guests more rewarding ways to enjoy their stay on Mission Bay.

Starting immediately, guests who book directly through the Bahia or Catamaran websites can choose from the following exclusive rewards through The Guestbook:

- 5% cash back after each stay
- 5% cash donation to a charity of the guest’s choice, powered by GlobalGiving
- 15% Cash Forward™ to use toward future travel.

“Our mission has always been to provide warm hospitality and memorable experiences,” said Ilsa Butler, Chief Marketing Officer of Evans Hotels. “Partnering with The Guestbook gives our guests even more reason to return, with flexible rewards that reflect their personal preferences.”

The Guestbook offers a refreshingly simple alternative to points-based programs, with no gimmicks or blackout dates. The platform supports direct bookings, allowing guests to enjoy added value while benefiting from the relaxed coastal charm and signature service of Evans Hotels.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Evans Hotels to The Guestbook network,” said James Gancos, CEO of The Guestbook. “The Bahia and Catamaran are true landmarks of Southern California hospitality, and we’re proud to help reward their loyal guests in a meaningful way.”

Guests can begin earning rewards now by booking directly at www.bahiahotel.com and www.catamaranresort.com and signing up with The Guestbook.

Now Offering Cash Rewards for Select Meeting & Event Planners

As part of this partnership, Evans Hotels also introduces Cash Rewards, a special program available through The Guestbook for qualifying meeting and event planners. Select planners who book groups, conferences, or special events at the Bahia or Catamaran can now earn cash rewards as a thank you for their business.

This new initiative adds value to the planning process and underscores Evans Hotels’ ongoing commitment to supporting its group clients and industry partners.

Planners can contact sales at 858-539-7700 for more details about the program, group bookings, or to check eligibility.
