Baltrum - Catalina Island, CA vacation?

Catalina Island, CA vacation?

I want to visit catalina island, Ca with my boyfriend in the month of June. Preferable anytime between the 14th-21st. maybe for like 4-5 days. And looking for a good deal on hotel or a package of some sort... anyone know of some good deals. i have already searched the web but no real luck. *would take round trip boat to the island from Long Beach. Yeah I don't think I will be there more than 3 days and 2 nights. I've looked at SO MANY hotels but still want to knwo what others say about the hotels... Where should I stay??

Don;t go there, go to South Padre Island in Texas much better deals.
Use google maps, then on the map of catalina island, use search nearby and put in hotels or motels and then look and see the list if any have websites so that you can geta complete list. You can also input catalina tourism in google for options too. Bet it to be expensive, theres only so many rooms so the prices I just saw on trip advisor were high!
You have to understand how things are on Catalina. It's not like Vegas, where large corporations own hotels and can offer big discounts. These are basically family-run hotels, pretty much all boutique hotels. There are no big chain hotels, so don't expect big discounts.
You can't find information on the web? Try typing "Hotels on Catalina Island" in your browser and you'll find dozens of sites. June is the start of tourist season. It may start to be crowded, and reservations may be hard to get. Catalina is a small island, and Avalon is the only town of any consequence. In actuality you can see most of what is on the island in one day, but longer stays can also be interesting. If you stay on weekends most hotels require you book a 2 day minimum stay. Prices can range from moderate to VERY expensive depending on the amenities offered. (Most) cars are prohibited on the island so you'll have to walk, or rent bicycles, or golf carts to get around. There is no taxi service. The town is so small that this is not a problem. The boat usually offers a pretty stable ride, but it is best to eat AFTER you arrive on the island. Take an inland tour and see the herd of American Bison there. Enjoy your stay on Catalina.
remember June Gloom... you might be fogged in for the whole week.
have a ball but I would not make the trip more the 3 days 2 nights unless you are doing fishing or a lot of water sports you can do the island easy in that time It is fun quaint hotels
