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.

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.

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.

Beautiful place, lots of history. Clean, friendly, safe.
Beautiful place, lots of history. Clean, friendly, safe. Lots to do. Casino tour was great. The island is a bit expensive but not crazy and well woth it. It's an island after all. Hotel Atwater is very nice.
The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of downtown so it was super easy to get to off the ferry. It is above a few shops but we had no issues with noise. It is right next to all of the best restaurants (I highly recommend Lobster trap). The room is small but cozy -its not like you are there to spend time in the room anyway. Recently updated bathroom was nice. We were there to celebrate my wife's birthday and they had flowers waiting in the room. Super friendly staff- highly recommend.
We absolutely loved this beautiful property. The location
is gorgeous and it was so relaxing to sit on the balcony
and enjoy the peacefulness and beauty of Catalina Island.
The kids had a blast playing Connect4- the hosts clearly have gone out of their
way to make sure that kids and adults enjoy their stay.
Everything was very clean and comfortable. it was
great to have a kitchen and laundry area available-
made our lives very easy! we can’t wait to stay here again.
This hotel has an elevator, which was much appreciated as my husband has mobility issues. Few hotels on Catalina Island offer elevator access, I discovered. They also have a pool. 99% of the folks we encountered at this hotel were very nice, especially the shuttle drivers which took us into town and back multiple times. This hotel is somewhat off the beaten path, and it was nice we didn't have to hear folks partying all night long.
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.
the location of the hotel was perfect. Right on the main street in the heart of the action. Room was a perfect size for the family and the fireplace was a nice touch. The mall around the hotel does get a bit noisy in the AM around the coffee shop if you are around that side. If you want to sleep in, you might want a room further away from there.
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.
The location had one of the most beautiful views of Catalina I've seen. The condo accommodates two couples and a baby pretty easily. The included golf cart was a great feature, especially because the location is a good distance from Avalon. We'd return.
Had a great time in Catalina staying at the Pavillon Hotel. We loved how centrally located it was. The grounds were green and lush. The courtyard was welcoming. The bonfire was the perfect spot to enjoy our Wine. Thank you!!
It was a little small but I noticed alot of the hotels were like that in Catalina. It worked out though and was very clean! We weren’t in the hotel to much because we were out but the hotel stay was immaculate.
Everything was so nice in the Hermosa hotel. We went with my daughter's dog, Benito and he was so happy and welcomed.
The staff is super friendly and helpful. Thank you all!
There were worms in the mattress. Instead of getting other room, the manager told us to leave the hotel after one night.
And to this day, we haven't received a refund.
A hidden gem on Catalina Island! Breakfast, wine and cheese night, and mimosa Saturdays are included in the experience! My husband and I felt safe and at home :)
I had a great night's sleep in a room filled with lovely natural light. The hotel's location is convenient, just around 400 meters from the ferry pier.
