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.

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.

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.

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!!
Oh. We had the nicest staff. 👍🏼 The clean rooms and large bathroom with soaker tub was awesome. Lots to choose from at the breakfast provided. Everything was clean and organized. I liked how the hotel and staff took extra care of our bags for us until our room was ready. And then again at checkout. Loved the freedom of not having to worry about our belongings while exploring the island. Thanks Aurora Staff! We'll see ya again soon 😘 Comfy bed! Couldn't even tell anyone was in it with me while we slept. Great night sleep. 🌙
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.
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.
I recently had a delightful stay at Catalina Island. Allison, the property manager, made our experience exceptional. Her warm greeting at the pier and assistance in getting to the condo set a positive tone. She even sang Happy birthday to my daughter upon our arrival. The complimentary golf cart added a fun touch, and the condo’s proximity to the beach was convenient.
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.
Staff is amazing. Location is second to none. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. This is an amazing hotel with everything at your fingertips and walking distance. Continental breakfast needs to be upgraded a tad bit, but that is not a show stopper. We will be staying here again. 1st class facility, 1st class staff, 100% satisfaction!!!!
Loved our room and the hotel amenities and the views were amazing, and the staff was more than exceptional, they were so friendly and informative with things to do around the island and the best part was that they made you feel so welcomed. We will definitely be coming back, sooner than later!!!
Close to the beach, steps away from the water very useful information staffs had and help for navigation for what your interested or wanna do throughout the island, amazing history on the hotel loved the story behind it will be coming back again next year
When we book this hotel, it said it has it's own restaurant and bar, when we arrive, the staff said it was both closed. And the swimming pool was not heat up for the guest use, no body using the pool, and they covered the whirlpool as a sitting area.
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.
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.
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.
Excellent location in the middle of Avalon, overlooking the cutest little market place area. Lovely decor, comfortable and the jacuzzi on the roof was an added bonus!
We had an amazing time on Catalina Island. My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary with the family.Hotel staff was great. Rooms very fancy and comfortable.
The hotel is in a great location, just a couple of streets from all of Avalon and the coast. The rooms were bigger than expected and we had a comfortable stay.
