As mentioned at some length in the
last post the executive suite at our stay in Catalina was awesome. In fact, that whole situation is the one that gets brought up most when telling people about our vacation!!! Thought I'd put together a post on the room we had there.
Here again we see more of that enthusiasm, and in the background the balcony overlooking the courtyard.
Next shot is the dining area, where I parked my laptop pretty much the whole time we were there.
And there's the wall of kitchen. Last time we stayed here, our breakfast most days was bagels and cream cheese from the restaurant on the premises, to go which we would take back and eat on our balcony. Pretty much the best bargain for breakfast in Avalon. As of yet, I've not actually dined at that restaurant, maybe next time. My wife got in on the nachos one afternoon (during happy hour for the half price!!!) while the boys and I were out either paddle boarding or swimming. Since we had a little fridge this time, we stopped at the Vons and bought a pack of bagels and a couple cream cheeses, juice and milk. The next day the older bought himself a 6 pack of IBC root beer, which he ended up carting around a few of for the rest of the vacation!!! Also worked out for having leftovers.
And there's the balcony on the other side, looking out towards the mountains. There was the butt of a cigar out there when we arrived. Made us consider buying another couple...
Giant two person whirlpool tub...
And giant two person (at least!!!) shower stall. There was a red phone on the bathroom wall right next to the toilet. Just in case you run out of paper, I guess.
And the final few shots are of the courtyard we were overlooking. The two with the pool are actually shots from last time, apparently I didn't get any shots of that this time.
In the second shot you can see the patio area for the restaurant. Not pictured is the gazebo with the hot tub in it. It's all really nice!!!
Final shot was on the morning we were departing. Low cloud cover, and just a touch of drizzle. Good time to get out!!! The shuttle van driver was saying that the island makes it's own weather system, guess that makes sense when you've got a mountain rising out of the ocean!!!
So there you have it!!! The hotel room that all others shall be judged by henceforth... and found wanting!!!
In that post I had a couple pictures, one of the boy enthusiastic about the room, and the second looking along the roof line, looking out towards the ocean.
