We have been coming over evey July 4th week for 15 years. Most of the time we have stayed at the Hotel MacRae, right in front of the beach in the middle of town. Don't forget this is an OLD resort town. After last years bill of $2100 for a small room in front with a beautiful view, we decided to check another place. We were told to check-out ...
We thought about renting a vacation rental, but decided we would much rather have daily maid service and free breakfast and we are soooo glad we did. We had a huge room, plenty of room for our family of 6. We were welcomed by Raul and his staff. The location was excellent and we have already booked for next year, which if you do during your stay you can get this years rates. Say Hi to Raul when you visit.
The staff was very accommodating to our diving needs, they brought us and our gear down to Casino Point and came and picked us up. The manager, Raul, was very friendly and gave us excellent suggestions for lunch and dinner on the island. We will definitely stay here every time we visit.
Being limited travelers - my experience may not account for a whole lot - but - let me just tell you that from the moment I booked our 3 days 2 nights trip online and printing our tickets for the Catalina Express conveniently at home - the experience was nothing short of marvelous. We were meet at the dock by Jorge and taken to the Seaport Village ...
Excellent bargain---nice view in our room, nice breakfast, not a bad walk from town, but best of all was the manager, Raul, very accommodating. Shuttle picks you from boat. Murphy bed not too comfortable and hotel needs some cosmetic work which is ongoing, but all in all, would book again. Also has a nice jacuzzi which we used.

Superb At the Seaport Village Inn
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/28/06
The first impression that I received from Catalina Island was the staff from the Seaport Village Inn in Avalon. Mr. Raul Alvarez, the Guest Relations Manager, answered my call quickly then came down in a shuttle bus to pick my husband and myself up.
He was friendly and made quite an impression on us. Denise at the Front Desk was also very ...
Judging by the price, and the online explanation, my girlfriend and I thought we were on our way to a semi-luxurious hotel on Catalina for her birthday weekend. For $657 for two nights - well actually we got 2 tickets for the boat over at a whole 0% discount!!, so it turned out to be $$559 for the room - so I don't think it was expecting too ...

I'll Be Back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/04/05
When I return I will stay here again. Warm inviting staff from the moment they loaded my luggage in the van, checked me in, served breakfast and more. They took pride in their family owned business. Remodeling was an improvement. Not on the main street drag. Not a 6-star Hilton but most defnitley has all that you need and goes along well with ...
