this is the main town on catalina where all activities will take place.
Since there are so many great places to stay, we’ve decided not to reserve a room block to give everyone more flexibility. However, if you choose to stay at Hotel Atwater, we do have a 10% discount code available. For those looking for the most affordable option, we recommend exploring house rentals, or Hermosa Hotel, Seacrest Inn, Glenmore Plaza, and El Terado Terrace.
