Independent Catalina Island hotels

"The resort was clean, inviting, and quite a hidden gem of Bahia Principe properties. The staff at this resort were friendly, several spoke English, and most were knowledgable. Having access to 4 large and very nice pool areas was great. The room was okay but the room cleaning staff was excellent. The food at the buffets for breakfast, lunch, and dinner had a wide variety of options. The ala carte restaurants Asian Fusion and their Rodizio Grill was excellent. The beach area is vast, very walkable, and very pretty with lots of palm trees. There were plenty of chairs with palm umbrellas in the beach area. Now there was a couple issues that I had on this resort. The usual suspects of pool chair hogs every stinkin day that the resort needs to better address ( There are signs at literally every pool cabana and umbrella to address the issue but obviously the offenders cant read!!) Second issue is reserving the ala carte restaurants. You go to their computer or personnel at resorts main lobby and its very hard to find any open reservation other than 8:30p-9:30p openings. Everyday visits to the concierges in main lobby to try to find an open reservation or an earlier time was a daily pain in the rear. Overall I was happy with my visit to this resort. I didnt want to leave and I will be back."

"We stayed here in the Preferred Club. Ada was very helpful for us to find activities indoor when it was raining, and outdoors when there was a pocket of sunlight between rainy moments. Thank you for such excellent service."

"Room had nice view of pools and ocean. Pools were clean and grounds were very tropical and clean. The ocean was clear, clean soft sand beach, plenty of lounge chairs. Loved selection of restaurants and buffet always had good choices. Really enjoyed the nice staff and activities were plentiful for all age groups from kids to teens to adults. Had a lot of fun and enjoyed entertainment too. Room was average but clean. Would enjoy going again! "

"Todo estuvo super bien. La unica parte a mejorar, es qye no tiene agua caliente en el baño."

"The staff is superior to any other place, the food is top tier, the beach is amazing. Will continue to go back "
