I had a great time and loved the hospitality. The view was amazing and I loved everything about my trip. Thank you for having us. I would love to go back next year as well. Also the food at our banquet was perfect and I loved the decorations.

This was our first trip to Catalina, pictures for the Catalina Canyon Resort and Spa are very deceiving, not anything like pictures on website.

The on-site restaurant was below average, poor menu choice, prices were outrageous for what was servced, and the staff running the restaurant... More

Food service was slooooow but food ok when it came but also limited menu. Could have... More

My best friend and I selected the Catalina Canyon Resort for our first trip to Catalina Island because of the great price. I would have to say we got what we paid for. The quality of the room was average. The shuttle service to the hotel is nice, but we found the wait could be long at times and usually... More
