On May 15th, I took my daughter to Catalina for her 24th birthday. Our stayed in the Hotel Vista Del Mar was fabulous. We got more than I expected. In our room, we found a bottle of champagne and baloons (at no extra charge). Nice room with a wetbar and small refrigerator. For your convenience, they stuffed the small fridge... More

Friendly staff, very helpful! Anissa was absolutely the best from making dinner suggestions to accommodating our decision to stay another night. We were sad we didn't get to say goodbye to her as she was fantastic :)

The room was phenomenal, great view, jacuzzi, bed, room accents, etc. Great view, staff was super friendly and accommodating. Cookies were fresh and tasty (Otis Spunkmeyer). Only minor nit, for the Ocean View Suite there were some beach flies buzzing around on the porch (bought some Raid and took care of them). Highly recommend!

My husband and I stay here for the first time recently and were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Unlike many of the hotels in Avalon, this one didn’t feel run down. We had a great room, mini bar was reasonably priced (shocked and awed!), in room coffee maker, and bath robes. The hotel provides a light breakfast, wifi and beach... More

Amazing. I planned a girls trip with a few of my best friends and after reading comments on tripadvisor I picked this hotel and I am so glad I did. The entire staff is so nice and made us feel so welcome. Thanks for such a wonderful stay.

Spent 2 nights with an all girl get-together in Avalon at the Hotel Vista Del Mar which is centrally located with ocean/beach view and continental breakfast. Be warned that the hotel is located on the second floor above a restaurant and there's no elevator but the staff is more than helpful. Not all rooms have a ocean/beach view, but our... More

I spent my bachelorette party there. Since we got such a great deal I want really expecting it to be 5 stars, but boy was I blown away when I walked up the stairs and saw the view then looked down the hallway of heaven. Beautiful plant filled the space with light pouring in from all around. There wasn't a... More

I've been wanting to stay at the Vista Del Mar forever and it didn't disappoint. Our room was beautiful -- fireplace, huge tv, room to relax. The staff was professional and efficient. And how can you beat cookies and milk each night? True, Avalon is small. Everything is close. But the Vista Del Mar is on Crescent Avenue right in... More

My wife and I calibrated our joint birthdays this year on the island. While in the past we have enjoined the some of the older iconic hotels in Avalon, this trip I was looking a more intimate place with a fireplace and more amenities. The room was sparkling clean and the staff was sweet and helpful. The room was spacious... More

Stayed here for 2 days , the Staff were very friendly and waived the $200 room deposit after a debacle with the Catalina Flyer not running and not getting a refund . Would have liked some cheese and ham with bagels at breakfast but this a wonderful hotel with great views location and extremely helpful staff. Highly recommended.
