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.Steven & LisaUnited States - 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.

- From SAR 1,171.86 per night8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 521 reviewsThe hotel was well staffed with people who were fully knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Parker even presented us with a free bottle of wine, completely unexpected but very much appreciated. Accomomdations were small but very comfortable clean and Quiet. Very much appreciated was also the open upper deck to relax in the sun and to enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the beautiful view of the bay, boats, the bell tower chimes and the exceptional weather. Will definitely stay there again should we come to the island again.
gregoryUnited States - 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 10 reviewsThis is possible one of the best situated units in the entire complex. Nicely appointed with all the conveniences of home, including a full kitchen and 2 full bathrooms. Seamless communication with the owner and it came with a golf cart, making it easy to get in and around the island. Hamilton Cove is a secure, gated community away from the noise and congestion of many Avalon rentals. Unit #29 was our Oasis and home away from home. Thank you Nancy! We loved our stay and will be back again someday!pattiUnited States
- From SAR 1,110.96 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
- 8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 655 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
- 9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 6 reviewsI stayed for two nights for my birthday. Hands down the best features were the golf cart and the hot tub. Everything was great, the beds were super comfortable. TVs are in every room. If you were to rent a golf cart on your own they charge $60 per hour and you have to return it at the end of the hour or day, so being mobile on the island was a fantastic feature.MariaUnited States
- From SAR 4,653.55 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 374 reviewsThe 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.
PaulUnited States - 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 96 reviewsSecond time using the Catalina's Got Cart Condo. It has been a great value to enjoy the "entire" island, meet the needs of family members who are not able to walk distances, got our heart rates up with steps and it was great to have the facility for family time when not out and around the island. We enjoyed it again.
bethUnited States - From SAR 1,005.65 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 644 reviewsLocation, the staff was extremely pleasant and accommodating. There are rooftops at the hotel to enjoy the majestic views of Catalina bay. I asked via note when booking our room if we can have a nice room because of our anniversary stay and they upgraded our room. Very kind and considerate staff.

- From SAR 1,675.89 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 218 reviewsLoved 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.
