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.Steven & LisaUnited States of America - 6.0Scored 6.0

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.

- 7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 478 reviewsConvenient location to everything on the main strip. Free coffee, teas, oatmeal, snack bars and a pancake making machine in the lobby each morning. Free use of a microwave for guests and my room had a small refrigerator. Basic accommodations, nothing fancy here but for the price it's a great choice. Historic old building and you can see the blue Hotel Catalina sign when you pull into dock. Short walk through tourist area to hotel. Nice communal balconies to lounge about during the day or morning time with your coffee.RichardUnited States of America
- 6.9Scored 6.9PleasantRated pleasant· 726 reviewsLocation 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.SerenaUnited States of America

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

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.

There are rooftops at the hotel to enjoy the majestic views of Catalina bay.
