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.

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.
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 was well staffed with people who were fully knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Parker even presented us with a free bottle of wine, completely unexpected but very much appreciated. Accomomdations were small but very comfortable clean and Quiet. Very much appreciated was also the open upper deck to relax in the sun and to enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the beautiful view of the bay, boats, the bell tower chimes and the exceptional weather. Will definitely stay there again should we come to the island again.
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!
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.
Amber is the best! I have never been treated so well in a hotel. Thank you very much for her kindness and for her good service. I plan to return to this hotel very soon. excellent service, comfortable, clean place with excellent service, cozy place, close to everything. if you are planning to go to the island you definitely need to stay in this place. Amber if you read this thank you very much! you made our experience a pleasure.
When I initially booked the room for the weekend of the Catalina Marathon, I was just trying to find a convenient room that could act as a decent meeting spot for family that was running in the event. Much to my surprise, I checked in and was treated to Suite 1 which was far more than I was expecting. The view from the balcony was amazing, and the little kitchenette ended up being perfect for the couple days I was on Avalon.
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.
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
The hotel is very well furnished and conveniently located. The "resort fee" is expensive, but did include $20 credit per day at some very nice restaurants. We went to Descanso Beach Club and Avalon Grill and enjoyed both. The standard queen room is tiny, but actually furnished to make the best use of space.
Great location and excellent price for a peaceful vacation. The staff was very accommodating and let us keep our bags there until check out while waiting for our return boat and also during check in if your room is not ready. This is now my favorite place to book while staying at Catalina island.
The room was completely renovated and the room was really comfortable and chic. Although where the hotel is located is 15 minutes walking distance from the city center/downtown but the shuttle driver was available within 5 minutes or calling.
Love this hotel, it's right on the sea front. Facilities are good. Cheese and wine at 4.30pm included in price, also coffee tea and pastrys at breakfast time. Would definitely use this hotel again if I'm ever visiting Catalina.
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!
The room was very nicely appointed and felt very modern. The staff was very friendly and helped with suggestions around the city. The hotel and room itself were very clean.
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.
