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.

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.

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.

Loved the stay here. It is on a hill, so walking down was intense on my legs. I loved the kitchen and everything about the suite. The staff was very nice. The bed was comfortable. I liked the dining table and the chairs. The windows were nice and open. Nice place I would definitely stay again!!!

Clean comfortable, free HBO
It is a mini suite so the fridge, microwave , and stove are a nice touch, I didn’t cook while we were here, but I’m sure it would be great for a family with children. It was clean , it was great.

We had a heating problem upon arrival. The Manager Ivan asked for 10 min to reset heat, showed up 15 min later and got it working.
Also had wonderful dining reccomendations.
Place was not fancy, but spacious and clean.
