Situated in Avalon in the California region, Catalina Courtyard Suites features accommodation with access to a hot tub. The property has garden and inner courtyard views, and is 800 metres from Descanso Beach. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace. It's probably the closest hotel to the dive site. Maybe five minutes walk. Perfect location, close to the town. Would stay again. Also very comfy beds
