    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.

    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!!

    I took my son on a hiking trip for his 21 birthday. I could not have ask for a better experience and my son raved as well. The beds are comfy and the atmosphere was quiet. We had ocean view so we could look down onto the townspeople and watch the happenings. Wonderful hotel on a wonderful island. The breakfast was yummy and there were healthy options. I stayed 6 nights and aside from fresh towels I did not need my room serviced, but the staff would ask me regularly if I needed service which shows the staff is very observant and engaged

    I really liked how the staff was super friendly and the location was amazing! I would say this is one of the best hotels in Catalina. It’s very fresh and clean, close to all the attractions/food, and close to the Vons. The rooms were very modern and comfortable. I loved how you get free access to the Descanso Beach Club and you get a free $20 voucher for the Bistro! My favorite part was that I was able to check in at 18yrs old. Most hotels are 21+ but this was such a great find for my 18th birthday trip!

    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.

    Hotel staff is my most favorite here. A shout out to Julia. She’s super awesome! All staff are excellent with great service mind starting from front desk, room services, housekeepers, and wine servers! The room is a bit run down with spotty Wi-Fi, but hey we were on an island. Morning pastries are my favorite and though our family ain’t a fan of wine and cheese, we truly appreciate this daily amenities. We will definitely stay and recommend hotel pavillion to everyone going to Catalina.

    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.

    Single suite large enough for 4-5 persons. The view was lovely however the certain item needed to be update like the screen leading to patio. It was in disrepair. Bathrooms were updated and spacious. It was a lovely apartment altogether. Finally, the wifi did not meet expectation and was difficult to connect from that suite. That would be my only complaint. But as you know we did not travel to Catalina Island to secure great wifi (smile).

    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

    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.

    Loved the facility. Avalon was quite sold out for the 2 days we booked about 9 days before. Thought we were being overcharged but we were very pleased. Catalina has improved so much since the early 90s when I was last there.
