Pavilion Hotel, hotel in Avalon

Located on Catalina Island, this beachside hotel features landscaped tropical gardens and a lounge with cabana seats and fire pits.

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.

Everything was great. Breakfast was very good, and the view and surrounding environment, beautiful. Of special note, and quite outstanding was the service provided by staff to promptly transport us 1/2 mile or so up and down the steep hill, to the main part of town and back. They also picked us up at the ferry, and then going back met us at the ferry with all of our luggage later in the day after we checked out.

    Very quaint small town with cute shops, restaurants, great views, and plenty to explore. Can be done on a budget, but the touristy activities will drain your wallet. Quiet town, but noisy and crowded when cruise ships pull up so plan accordingly.

    Beautiful place to visit with lots of shops, restaurants, excursions and beaches. Be sure to book excursions in advance of your stay because the cruise ships stop here so most of the excursions get sold out in advance.

    I loved the calm relaxing vibe.

    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.

    The hotel is right next to the ocean. It is also 5 mins walking distance from ferry station. The place was clean and tidy. It has a vintage vibe with enough amenities for a hotel. The hotel also has a hangout place in the roof which has a very beautiful view of the island. The best part of the hotel experience was the host. We had a seamless checkin and were offered extended checkout which helped me to leave my luggage and use the room. Would highly recommend this place for its amenities and price point.

    This is possible one of the best situated units in the entire complex. Nicely appointed with all the conveniences of home, including a full kitchen and 2 full bathrooms. Seamless communication with the owner and it came with a golf cart, making it easy to get in and around the island. Hamilton Cove is a secure, gated community away from the noise and congestion of many Avalon rentals. Unit #29 was our Oasis and home away from home. Thank you Nancy! We loved our stay and will be back again someday!

    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!

    Location is great! No breakfast but the coffee was good. The staff is amazing. Your hotel would be fantastic if you would clean your floors and didn’t have electrical cords all over the place. Your advertising said you remodeled. Not where we were. So adorable of a hotel. We understand small but this was filthy. I’m so short I can’t reach the fridge. What if there was a “Little Person” who was unaware like myself that couldn’t reach the fridge so high.

    We were picked up as soon as the boat arrived & taken to the condo. It was recently updated (paint, flooring, TV, etc.) and it looks great. The bathroom sink started to leak so I text Allison and she showed up within 10 minutes to have it fixed. We've been going to Catalina every year for our anniversary since we got married there 9 years ago, this was our 2nd time staying here & we'll be staying here every year from now on. Plus, Allison is the best!

    They were not allowed to serve breakfast (because of covid restrictions) so they gave us vouchers worth $5 each to use a the Brew House, which has yummie pastries and the best coffee on the island. I have stayed in many historic hotels, and the room was large by those standards. Everyone who worked there was so friendly and helpful beyond anything we had experienced.

    our stay at Aurora Hotel was excellent. The hospitality was great, staff was very friendly. Rooms were clean and the roof top deck is a great add on. They also helped us check in early. And next day they hold off the baggage for us and check out. And they ordered some deserts also as we were celebrating our Anniversary

    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.

    It was located right in the centre of Avalon and we were upgraded to a bigger room so that me and my friend could have our own beds. The room was spacious, as was the bathroom and it had all the facilities we needed, such as a hairdryer. The staff were really friendly and accommodating and let us check-in earlier too.
