Catalina Island Seacrest Inn, hotel in Avalon

The Catalina Island Seacrest Inn is a conveniently located hotel on Catalina Island. Each room is decorated in a different theme.

We had the most amazing 2 night stay at the Seacrest Inn! The staff was so welcoming and made us feel right at home. They were even kind enough to allow us to store our bags after check-out while we waited for our afternoon ferry back to Dana Point. Already planning our next trip back and we will definitely be staying here again!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I loved being just a few yards from the water, restaurants and shopping. The whole area - in spite of the cloudy weather - is simply beautiful and picturesque. We enjoyed both walking and biking through the hills nearby. Avalon is my new "go to" spot for relaxing!!

    Oh. 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. 🌙

    Hotel staff is my most favorite here. A shout out to Julia. She’s super awesome! All staff are excellent with great service mind starting from front desk, room services, housekeepers, and wine servers! The room is a bit run down with spotty Wi-Fi, but hey we were on an island. Morning pastries are my favorite and though our family ain’t a fan of wine and cheese, we truly appreciate this daily amenities. We will definitely stay and recommend hotel pavillion to everyone going to Catalina.

    Location 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.

    I 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.

    The 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.

    our stay at Aurora Hotel was excellent. The hospitality was great, staff was very friendly. 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

    It was located right in the centre of Avalon and we were upgraded to a bigger room so that me and my friend could have our own beds. The room was spacious, as was the bathroom and it had all the facilities we needed, such as a hairdryer. The staff were really friendly and accommodating and let us check-in earlier too.

    Loved 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.
