next trip to catalina we'll be going to vista del mar!

We stayed in one of the 2 suites overlooking the bay. All I can say is FANTASTIC. I live in Las Vegas and have stayed in and seen many fine hotel rooms and this one exceeded my expectations. The location and views are fantastic. I would not stay anywhere else on future visits to Catalina. Not cheap but you will forget about price as soon as you ...

Our first impression of the hotel was of course its location (right on the front street with views of the waterfront, the casino and the lovely homes and shops on the NE hillside--then the friendliness of the front office.

We stayed in an ocean front suite which was gorgeous--beautiful furnishing, a fireplace, plus a large jacuzzi for two that ...

THIS HOTEL IS THE BEST ON THE ISLAND, I KID YOU NOT!!!! On the survey sheet, they give you a range from 1 to 10. I GAVE IT A 15!!!!

First of all, it's 5 minutes from the boat dock that you arrive on. And you can see it from the dock itself, looking at this gorgeous hotel with its beautiful European style arches. It's on the third floor ...

best! Service is excellent. The staff is incredibly friendly and always smiling, really made me feel valued. The rooms are so beautiful it's almost hard to leave them. Location is right on the beach and almost directly across from the pier. All in all, definitely worth your night. I don't think I'll stay at another hotel on the island after staying here.

I love this place and have stayed there several times over the years. Best (though pricey) are the ocean view suites. I've never gone during the season as I go to Catalina to RELAX and, so far, this hotel has never disappointed.

Great view, awesome ammenities, best location to be close to everything in Avalon. Only place we'll ever stay. The suite is worth every penny.

The court yard is beautiful with all the plants. We stayed in one of the ocean view rooms, it had a very relaxing romantic island decor and vibe to it. I stayed at a couple of cheaper hotels but from now on I will only stay at Vista Del Mar.
