I spent several summers as a kid in Avalon and have a vivid memory of its hotels and amusements. This was back in the mid-late 1970's when my father and I chartered a 40' wooden Motor Sailor called "Sea Wings". The Pavillion was the first place I thought of. I remembered it's proximity to the beach and relatively short schlep... more

This is a very nice hotel. It may not be much to look at on the outside but the room was great. I was so excited to see that the shower head was high enough that i would fit under it. I'm 6'3. We had a second floor room with a nice view of the courtyard out the front window.... more

My husband, eight-year old son and I just returned from a lovely four-day, three-night vacation on Catalina Island. This was our first visit and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We booked the "Family Adventure Package" directly with the hotel, which we thought was a good deal. The package included kayaking, glass-bottom boat tour (which we upgraded to the underwater... more

I traveled to this hotel with 2 other families and we had an amazing experiance. Rooms were clean and fresh. Free DVD rentals for the rooms. Outside courtyard was perfect for little ones to run and play and for parents to sit back and relax. Office staff were very friendly, Perfect location for going to the beach or the pier... more

I booked through Catalina's web site and chose the Romance Package. This was for my girlfriend's birthday and it was one of the best vacation's we've ever had together! The booking online was easy and there were many package options to choose from. I chose the romance package and there was chilled champagne, assorted chocolates and a small chocolate cake... more

This hotel was an excellent deal and by far the best choice I made about this entire trip to Catalina. The staff was very accomodating, the property was well kept, and the rooms were spotless. All of the pictures that were shown online were an accurate representation of what your room will look like when you arrive. We were lucky... more

We booked our stay via www.visitcatalinaisland.com/ which offered an internet special deal that included our ferry trip and two choices of tours (we took the casino tour- TOTALLY recommend, and glass bottomed boar tour). Anyway, Pavillion Lodge was great! What a wonderful place- clean, pleasant, quiet, everything you could want. It had charm and class, like mid-century modern meets a... more

I wanted something close to the beach and yet nice enough to stay in the room and chill. The "black-out" curtains made for perfect midday napping. The Refrigerator was large and helped save a lot of money on food. It was a pretty quiet place despite being the week after Easter. This is isn't a luxury hotel but its great... more

The Pavillion Lodge is probably the best hotel in Catalina. The lobby is very quaint and the staff is generous as well. Their motto, "14 steps from the beach" is really true. I counted. The courtyard and sitting area are very pretty, clean, and just nice and relaxing. My favorite thing about the hotel is the location. It is located... more
