Nice little place. Read the fine print of your booking details. We got off the ferry and wanted to walk through town, hotel will pay for a taxi shuttle to the hotel. However, if you don’t use that one, they will not pay for a return one. We had an issue with the outdoor lights coming into our room the first night, we texted the desk the next morning and they said they could turn it off by 10 pm thankfully. Overall it wasn’t a bad stay. I don’t recommend staying on one of the end units, you can hear the golf carts running all night.

Had a great stay at El Terado Terrace. Loved that it is family owned and operated. Our view was beautiful and the room was quiet. It’s a bit of a hike up the hill to get to but well worth it! Thank you!

Very nice stay on the island

Very clean, spacious room. It is an older building, but they have done great job keeping it updated. We never met or saw an employee, but our room keys were marked and available for pickup at the check-in window. We had a nice view of the ocean from our room. Everything in Avalon is easily walkable.

The overall stay was nice. It was quite, neighboring guest were respectful as well. Cleaning staff was accommodating and efficient. The only issue we had was that there were baby roaches found in the microwave, counter, and in the shower. If this wasn’t an issue I would have rated 5 stars because everything else was great for the days we were there.
