We had the Ocean view room 5/12 through 5/14. It may seem a bit pricey but we felt that the view, service and quality made it worth every cent. The staff was very attentive, sincere, and friendly. My girlfriend particularly enjoyed the tub while I loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves. We can't wait to come here... More

We adored our OceanView room at Hotel Vista Del Mar! The convenient location, the perfect view of the harbor, the comfortable & large balcony that we spent many hours on were all perfect. Each encounter with staff was professional and very responsive. Convenient location to a market (directly behind the hotel) and a great fine dining restaurant Avalon Grill on... More

We stayed 5/4-5/6. Upon checking in to the room, we discovered a half empty bottle of wine under the bed and dirty undergarments in a drawer. We were awoken at 6:30 the first morning to the roar of several screaming kids from the room adjacent to ours which we believe were the children of one of the housekeepers.overall, for what... More

Dear Dave: Thank you for your comments, all comments good or bad help us be a better hotel. We check and double check all rooms after they are cleaned by housekeeping and are surprised to hear your complaint. You are correct about the noisy kids that were guests of the hotel not “children of the housekeeper”. As soon as we... More

It might seem high priced, but it is worth every penny. SUPER clean, beautiful rooms, staff is ridiculously nice. I would rate this hotel with 6 stars. The view, the rooms, the staff, the location, the internet, the cleaniness, all the best on the island!!!

This hotel was perfectly located off the main street and works out great for running up to change, drop off packages, etc. We loved Alex at the front desk! He was so helpful in giving us dinner or activity ideas. He definitely made our stay more enjoyable! The lobby was beautiful and our room was great. To be fair, the... More

Hotel Vista Del Mar is a wonderful property in the heart of downtown Avalon. It is on the third story, just above Steve's Steakhouse, with a beautiful view of the harbor. The benefits are wonderful, with a continental breakfast every morning with your choice of coffees, teas, juice, cereals, oatmeals, fruit, bagels, cream cheese, jellies, pastries, yogurts, etc. Each night...

nice room, bathroom tight, and unfortunately only got 1 cookie for the two of us, as they ran out within 3 minutes of the 8 o'clock hr. Breakfast also required further attendance as multiple trips were required for a "breakfast in bed experience" first round cereal, 2nd yogurt and bagel, 3rd juice/tea....Service from attendants was great. Room would also benefit... More

A beautiful hotel! The rooms are clean and offer comfortable beds and updated decor. It is a close walk from the dock and in the center of all the shops & restaurants. They serve an expanded continental breakfast and cookies at night. They also offer DVDs to check out and watch in your room free of charge. A relaxing stay!
