Hotel Vista Del Mar

Wonderful hotel, we stayed two nights, we checked in at 5 last Sunday and we checked out last Tuesday. They gave us breakfast, cookies and milk for dinner, very clean, beautiful and cozy.
We also got a cot for my son

Amazing hotel,Great location,and the Best customer service anyone could ask for Kelly was a true example of what Great customer service should be we couldn't have been treated better the make you feel like family. I can't say enough good things about this Hotel. In 50 years we've never stayed anywhere that had this good of service our room was Excellent. We will only ever stay at this hotel. Thank you so much to all of the wonderful staff.

We stayed here in February 2022 for 2 nights.
First, great LOCATION. Few minutes WALK from the terminal.
Walking distance to many restaurants.
Lobby has a great view of the water and Green Pier. Check in was great. They called me days before to ask about our arrival time. We were lucky to be checked in early due to availability of room. We stayed at the courtyard room- gas fireplace, wet bar, queen bed, sofa bed, wireless phone charger, dimmable lights. The hallway leading to rooms are filled with green plants and sky roof made it bright and lively.
The room was clean. Great bed so great sleep.
Breakfast was delivered every morning to your preferred time.
One floor down is the Steve’s steakhouse and seafood!
Many PROS. Only con- it’s located on the third floor of the building, no elevator. Acceptable as Avalon is a small town and has small spaces.
Still we give this place 5 stars!
Highly recommended!

Catalina Island is my favorite place. I love the history and the atmosphere is magical, transporting me to a place of relaxation the minute I step off the boat. I have stayed at several different hotels in Avalon and Vista Del Mar is by far my favorite. I’ve returned to stay there many times over the last 30 years and recommended it to anyone who asks. It’s central location is just steps from the beach with a perfect view from the balcony to just relax and enjoy. The staff are always welcoming and helpful. Savoring coffee and continental breakfast in the morning, and freshly baked cookies and milk in the evening while relaxing on the balcony overlooking quaint Avalon harbor are treasured memories. The rooms are beautiful and luxurious, completing the perfect vacation experience. I was raised in Southern California but have now retired in Oklahoma so I don’t foresee many more Catalina vacations in my future, but I hope I have encouraged you to give it a try and that you will enjoy this enchanting place as much as I have.

Haven't even completed our stay but upon entry, I just felt compelled to start my review. Don't let the "no elevator" fool you. It's a quick walk up some stairs to the most gorgeous entry way you will see! The desk concierge was beyond fantastic. He even showed us to our room and how to work the fireplace 😉. We will definitely be staying here again!
