I highly recommend this place for any families or groups. It's well worth it!

There were some nice patio areas, communal bbqs, and a cold ac for a hot day. I was surprised to see a little kitchen in our cozy cabin which was nice because we were there for a big race so cooking was a nice option. The room is... Unique. The shower was in the kitchen but was surprisingly large. There was a twin bed in our room along with the queen bed. The toilet was annoyingly close to the queen bed and the door didn't close so that was a bit awkward. But it was a nice cabin feel in a garden setting.

The space inside was motel 6 vibes with bathrooms that had paint covering the windows and the beds were not the best to sleep in.

We've been staying at Catalina Courtyard Suites one to two times a year since 2021, and it is hands…read moredown the best property in Avalon, especially for a family. We usually bring our twin teenagers, and being able to book either the connected family room or one of the ocean view suites gives us the perfect amount of space. We've tried several other places on the island to compare: Atwater is beautiful but the rooms are just too small, El Terado Terrace is great but that uphill walk from the beach is a rough way to end the day, and Hotel Metropole is a solid location but right against the Friday and Saturday live music. Catalina Courtyard Suites gives us the ideal location without any of those drawbacks. They have a wonderful setup of complimentary snacks and drinks, and our absolute favorite routine is hanging out by the firepit with the evening music right before heading to bed. This latest trip was particularly special thanks to the staff. Violet made our check-in amazing with thoughtful recommendations and an incredibly kind gesture of appreciation. Ignacio also went out of his way several times to help us with everything from our room blinds to the fire pit. Highly recommended--we wouldn't stay anywhere else!

We were a couple and had Room #503 which was quite spacious with a King Size Bed and Large Whirlpool Tub that would accommodate two persons. The room had a Pod Coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge too. Note: They do not provide daily maid service! The location is very well located to downtown Avalon with just a short uphill walk from the main shoreline area. There is a lower pleasant courtyard area for relaxing in a garden like atmosphere. Also, a Gas Fire pit to enjoy in the evening. A Small Continental Breakfast Bar with Yogurt, Instant Oatmeal and Store bought sweet rolls is provided, but nothing fancy. The staff here is super friendly and helpful in every aspect answering questions and providing recommendations for tours, activities and restaurant suggestions. Highly recommend this place and we will definitely return when visiting again!

As a foodie, I was splurging on food and beverages so their premium price wasn't an issue for my budget as long as I received value for money. Which I did not. Not only was JoAnna the coordinator rude and pushy, she was unhelpful and officious on a good day. I wanted to get suggestions from them but she kept saying I had to come up with ideas. Every time we did, she would say it wouldn't work. Very frustrating, but after several exchanges we finally had something reasonable although not exactly what I imagined when I signed up with them. The worst part about the whole thing is that on the day of my wedding, there were two gluten free requests that were served wheat pasta. When the guests inquired about their gluten free options that we had promised them, the chef said that we hadn't requested them and blamed the entire thing on us! When I forwarded them the email where we discussed gluten free options, they still said it was our fault for not triple, quadruple checking on the final contract details. When you pay this much for catering on such a special occasion, don't trust Zest as it certainly isn't worth what you spend.
