The hotel Del Mar is a hop, skip , and a jump away from the beach. The room was quite spacious and comforting. The firepace in the room was magnificent. The hotel decor made me feel as if I was in Paradise. I would recommend to all to visit. more

What a lovely place to stay! Neat, clean, right on the beach, superb room, quiet and very private. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about the island.

Can't beat that anywhere in Avalon! Oh....... more
