I book with Avalon Hotel to celebrate my fiancé s 60th birthday. The began communication with me right after booking. We arrived early and room was ready. They provided a nice bottle of sparkling champagne and a personalized card for my fiancé. Hotel and accommodation were perfect, clean and cozy. Breakfast was light and refreshing. Hotel was quiet and you could not hear guests and staff coming and going. We will definitely book with Avalon Hotel every time we go to the island.

We were on the 3rd floor. There was considerable noise from the air conditioning unit on the roof. It cycled on and off all night long making difficult to sleep.

Construction going on was loud during the day, so it wasn't ideal but not too annoying. Balcony was big and ha good seating but ocean view was limited. Included breakfast was outstanding.

The hotel was everything we hope for and more. The staff was extremely friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. The room was clean and extremely enjoyed the balcony. Providing beach chairs was an excellent amenity. I look forward to returning to the hotel on our next stay.

Nice property and enjoyed our stay up until my wife’s necklace was forgotten in the room. They claimed not to be able to find it. Definitely our fault for leaving it, but low morales of staff to steal it.
