My wife and I were at Catalina Island in September 2023. While there, we rented 2 chairs and an umbrella at the Descanso Beach Club. Table service is provided along with the chairs. The server brought my wife Buffalo Milk, a creamy liquor drink that was delicious. For food, we had a seafood burger and a DBC burger (hamburger) which were both also delicious. We spent practically the whole day here and would do it again in a heartbeat. We rented kayaks the next day and had their surf and turf nachos afterward. These were the best nachos I have ever had! The nachos appeared to be freshly cooked, not simply grabbed from a bag. If you are planning a trip to Catalina Island, you absolutely must try this place!

This was about a 15 minute walk from where our ship tendered. We pre-reserved lounge chairs on the water's edge. The "beach" was actually a cliff of rocks. We enjoyed just sitting on the beach, but it probably wouldn't be great for those who expect lots of sandy area. Food, drink and service was good. The restroom was a long walk, up the hill. The restaurant/bar is open to the public, so if you don't want to pay for the loungers, you can sit on the deck of the restaurant and enjoy the view.

We loved the location, it’s off the beaten path from the busier downtown. Past the Casino/theater. It’s a good walk/hike. Changing rooms & facilities are pretty nice and they’re located strategically. Beautiful setting, I was off swimming in no time at all in the ocean! A fitting name Descanso … a place to rest.

The lounge chairs were so comfortable, and had a great beach access for the kids to play in the water while the hubby and me enjoyed some margaritas. The service was awesome! Special shoutout to Roberto. My daughter left her apple watch behind and he went out of his way to Fed Ex it back to us. It was our first trip to Catalina and it was a very nice experience.

We went over the 4th of July holiday and needless to say it was busy. We scored a cabana on the 4th and were ecstatic! The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The cabana came with waters, plenty of towels, and our own waiter. At the hottest time of the day, an attendant walked around to all the cabanas to offer ice cold wash towels and fresh fruit skewers. The cabanas also came with two chaise lounges in front of our section. We never waited more than 10 min for our waiter to come around; Dominic was amazing!
