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 of America - 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 $312.48 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 524 reviewsOh. 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. 🌙
Terri GiffordUnited States of America - From $1,148.84 per night9.9Scored 9.9ExceptionalRated exceptional· 11 reviewsWe 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.SarahUnited States of America
- 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 658 reviewsThe room was a lot more cheerful than the pictures made me think, nice windows, well appointed room that was slightly bigger than I thought from pictures. Bed was comfy. Soaking tub was also very nice. Great proximity to everything in Catalina. Lots of restaurants right around the corner. I loved how friendly and down to earth the people working and visiting were, nice vibe in Avalon. There is a Von's grocery store not far from hotel. Roof top area was nice also.AmandaUnited States of America
- From $346.70 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 662 reviewsThe location is not too far out of the way to be inconvenient. It’s a short walk from the main streets of Catalina. I am not yet elderly so I did enjoy the steep walk back, but I could see how it might inconvenience other guests. The beers and micheladas at the hotel bar were well priced and delicious. All of the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I even saw a deer eating from a tree right outside the hotel. Very beautiful atmosphere.
DanielUnited States of America - From $328.44 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 of America
- 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 97 reviewsI 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.HerreraUnited States of America
- From $1,240.88 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 375 reviewsWe visited Catalina Island for our honeymoon, and the Zane Grey could not have made our experience any more perfect. They offered private transportation to and from town, a delicious daily breakfast, and the staff were all exceptional. The views from the Zane Grey rooftop were absolutely breathtaking - we enjoyed our breakfast up there each morning.KristinUnited States of America

CarlaUnited States of America - From $346.70 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 662 reviewsWhen 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.
