Stacey and Carina were the most wonderful hosts. This trip was very special for us, and they truly took our experience at Catalina to another level with their hospitality.

Perfect location. Rooms and amenities are top notch. Room had a balcony that just added to the experience. Rooftop lounge provided amazing views and great place to relax with bottle of wine or champagne. Beautiful garden area for continental breakfast. Really friendly and caring staff.

This hotel was an absolute knockout! Just impeccable service! Very clean and right on path to everything Catalina! I plan to bring my girls trip friends next year and hopefully we are able to get a group rate. Small room but it was perfect for just me! The added touch of the complimentary Champagne made for an even enjoyable Birthday experience. The Spa recommendation was stellar.
