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.BernadetteUnited States - 10Scored 10
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.SusanUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
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.

- From AR$ 1,115,559.64 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 376 reviewsThe location on the hill side is beautiful and the pools great. The golf cart ride up the hill is available about 50% of the time ask them about the stair case down to Avalon. It has a beautiful view and makes the walk a lot easier. It’s actually a lot closer to town than I had anticipated. The hotel is well done and modernized with great design. The staff was all very nice. It’s next to the bell tower on the island it’s a very quick walk there with a stunning view of the casino and surrounding area/harbor.CandiceUnited States
- From AR$ 295,269.81 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 490 reviewsThe 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.ANDREWUnited States
- From AR$ 311,683.88 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 662 reviewsIt was very good our trip is a modern and beautiful hotel, the rooms are not very large but they are beautiful, also the fact that the option to pay at the hotel is not available and you will be charged 3 days before to the card that you put that it is good to know before since the application does not explain it, and when you arrive at the stay you leave 300 dollars of deposit in case they do not have extra money consider it! Otherwise, everything is super! We liked it a lot!!LuisUnited States
- From AR$ 311,683.88 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 662 reviewsThis 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.
GenaUnited States - From AR$ 295,269.81 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 490 reviewsWhen 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.PatrickUnited States
- From AR$ 280,921.66 per night8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 524 reviewsI loved the whole island, and the hotel and the staff were really wonderful My only large complaint is that the website says it's handicapped accessible so I wasn't prepared at all for the complete uphill battle to get to our room, and then have to leave my wheelchair in the lobby. It's understandable and makes sense, but had I realized I would have booked a room closer to the bottomRebekahUnited States
