“This was our first time in Catalina (Avalon). Lots of activities. The staff especially Tiffany at the front desk were exceptional. I would definitely recommend this hotel. ”

“This place is super accessible. Theres bars, restaurants and arcade around it. Its close to everything. ”

“Beautiful resort, but cold pool, uphill walk, and really uncomfortable lounge chairs would not have coming back.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Staff was courteous and helpful. ”

“Little room with small bed for two people. No shampoo. Uncomfortable bed and pillows. Bed is super short (my height is 5.5, and bed is short even for me. Legs are handing down. We got different room then we booked (we booked bigger room). They told, hotel sold out , and can’t change room. ”

“Perfect for my 16 year old daughter and mother trip. Staff was very nice.”

“Let me first start by saying if your going to Catalina you HAVE TO BOOK WITH THE PORTOFINO HOTEL! My husband and I go to Catalina 2-3 times a year and have stayed at a few vacation home villa rentals and some other hotels and hands down out of all those you couldn't beat the VIP treatment the staff gives you at this hotel. As soon as they found out it was my birthday they sent some champagne and a hand filled out birthday card to say happy birthday! They didn't have to do that and the kindness they showed and thoughtfulness really touched my heart! Also this hotel smells AMAZING the cleanliness of the hotel is 10 out of 10 the location is unbelievably convenient your right across a small street from the shore and sand under your feet. I can honestly say this is my new home away from home even over the villas and vacation rentals I've stayed at. Thank you all at the PORTOFINO hotel for making this trip one I will always remember I greatly appreciate you all! ”
