The staff, from the reception team to the drivers and house keeping team were all amazing and incredibly kind and willing to help. The room was spacious and had a great view. I liked that there was a car frequently picking up and dropping guests in town or at the ferry terminal so mayde it easy to go up and down hill easily.

The location was great. The wine and cheese with lemonade and the continental breakfast were very appreciated. The garden setting and chaise lounges were wonderful because we had to check out by 11, but our ferry left at 4. The water jugs were a nice thought. The coupon with Avalon Grill was very nice.

The front desk staff, specifically Ayala, were amazing! From the time we arrived until the time we departed, they were extremely accommodating and made great recommendations on places to eat and things to do. The hotel is the most aesthetically pleasing on the island in my opinion. And the bedding was very comfortable.

A shuttle picked us up at the ferry and drove us up the steep hill to the hotel. The same shuttle was available throughout our stay to take us to and from town. The room had a fabulous view looking down on Catalina Harbor and a lovely terrace. The beds were comfortable and had high quality linens. The bathroom was very large and exceptionally nice with an enclosed shower stall separate from the bathtub.

It was in a great location to walk everywhere in town.
I loved the calm relaxing vibe. It felt like a quaint sea side village from the past. Everything was very clean and the walking on the beach frontage or the walk to the casino were very pleasant for us seniors. I also saw young families with small children which appeared to be ideal for that phase of family life because the beach is so close. I hadn't been to Avalon for over 20 years and was extremely happy with the way it has evolved and the pleasant atmosphere. Enjoyed it very much, but if I come back with my young adult grand daughters, they would probably want to do more of the activities which are available.

Our observation of Avilon is that is evolving.
Our observation of Avilon is that is evolving. There are more small cars. The businesses seem to be sustainable and pretty much thriving, and all is a positive experience.
Catalina is a mere 27-30 miles from where we live in So CA, but it could be HI, South of France or Southern Italy.
I think, just go there with the intent of slowing down and enjoying slower time and removing yourself from the balance of hectic life elsewhere. It is a good place to relax.

We visited at start of January (still school holidays) and found reduced restaurant and shop options. Restaurants tended to close early.
Easy 1hour comfortable ferry crossing to island with Catalina Express from Long Beach. Saw dolphins en route.
Just few minutes walk to main town, shops, restaurants and many hotels from ferry terminal.
Plenty of walks, but hilly. Fabulous views & plants/wildlife. Mostly golf carts or bikes and limited cars/local mini bus to get around.
Easy access to public restrooms around Avalon.
Would visit spring onwards for future visit.

Avalon can be magical to visit for a couple of days. Lots of activities, food options, and shopping. It's charming and beautiful. The M restaurant is one of my favorites, with good breakfast and lunch options. At dinner, it's a good Italian restaurant.

I loved being just a few yards from the water, restaurants and shopping. The whole area - in spite of the cloudy weather - is simply beautiful and picturesque. We enjoyed both walking and biking through the hills nearby. Avalon is my new "go to" spot for relaxing!!
Oh. We had the nicest staff. 👍🏼 The clean rooms and large bathroom with soaker tub was awesome. Lots to choose from at the breakfast provided. Everything was clean and organized. I liked how the hotel and staff took extra care of our bags for us until our room was ready. And then again at checkout. Loved the freedom of not having to worry about our belongings while exploring the island. Thanks Aurora Staff! We'll see ya again soon 😘 Comfy bed! Couldn't even tell anyone was in it with me while we slept. Great night sleep. 🌙
Although there is no in-room coffee maker, there is a wonderful coffee shop, Catalina Coffee and Cookie Company, within walking distance. The location is walking distance to everything including the golf course. Warning, it is an uphill walk to the hotel and golf course, but it wasn't horrible. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We were able to store our bags for the day as we explored and waited for our departure time. Overall this is a great place and we will be back!
The room was a lot more cheerful than the pictures made me think, nice windows, well appointed room that was slightly bigger than I thought from pictures. Bed was comfy. Soaking tub was also very nice. Great proximity to everything in Catalina. Lots of restaurants right around the corner. I loved how friendly and down to earth the people working and visiting were, nice vibe in Avalon. There is a Von's grocery store not far from hotel. Roof top area was nice also.
Nice room with a « jacuzzi bath tub », plenty of good coffee, and access to a very well equipped roof top with a nice view on Avalon, the mountains and the sea. I appreciated the watermelon welcome, to be able to check in early and to leave my luggage the day of my departure, as well as enjoying the roof top while waiting for my late ferry. Definitely a place I will go back to.
The staff was great, everyone from the person at check-in to the housekeepers, the drivers who took us to the hotel and dropped off our bags, who handled the breakfast area—everyone was very helpful. I can only recall the names of Carlos, José and Daniel, but the latter's wife and her sister were also stellar and went above and beyond in their service.
Staff is amazing. Location is second to none. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. This is an amazing hotel with everything at your fingertips and walking distance. Continental breakfast needs to be upgraded a tad bit, but that is not a show stopper. We will be staying here again. 1st class facility, 1st class staff, 100% satisfaction!!!!
We liked the vibe of the hotel. It was not luxurious at all but we were not looking for it. Clean place - that was the main focus. Closeness to the race start for us was also the one of the most important factors. Some great places to eat were very close, like 50 steps away, including coffee and breakfast. Would stay there again.
Super adorable property, friendly staff, a beautiful courtyard garden with a fireplace that we walked out to straight from our room. Our room was very spacious and comfortable with a huge bathroom. The location couldn’t have been better.
We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Catalina Island
Loved our room and the hotel amenities and the views were amazing, and the staff was more than exceptional, they were so friendly and informative with things to do around the island and the best part was that they made you feel so welcomed. We will definitely be coming back, sooner than later!!!
The young staff were very sweet, helpful and efficient. The bison tours through the hotel were full, but Jaysea suggested the Catalina Conservancy tour, which did have space. We were delighted to be able to snag that tour, so thank you Jaysea! Claire and Tom were also super helpful!
Close to the beach, steps away from the water very useful information staffs had and help for navigation for what your interested or wanna do throughout the island, amazing history on the hotel loved the story behind it will be coming back again next year
When we book this hotel, it said it has it's own restaurant and bar, when we arrive, the staff said it was both closed. And the swimming pool was not heat up for the guest use, no body using the pool, and they covered the whirlpool as a sitting area.
Loved the location and the staff were exceptional. Suite was top notch and will book the same again. Best hotel there is there on the island. Coffee and wine and cheese plate was a bonus
