come here every year and reserve the beach chaises, and it's worth it every time. They provide towels, tableside service, an umbrella & water. The food and drinks are so good. The DBC ASADA NACHOS, PACIFIC OYSTERS, a piña colada, &
Elevated experience at Descanso Beach Club
We had the best time at Descanso Beach Club! Came to celebrate a friend’s birthday and Roberto took such great care of us, he hooked us up with the perfect cabana and made sure everything ran smoothly. The vibe, the views, and the service were all
Best spot in Avalon
My friends and I had such a great time at Descanso Beach Club! The atmosphere is gorgeous, with cabanas and chairs right on the water. The food and drinks were great, but what truly stood out was the service. Roberto went above and beyond to make sur
This beach club is a must stop for us during summer times.
We hung out at the bar and lounge area for a couple hours this time. They had DJ spinning mostly old school and early 2000 hip hop songs. The food menu has gotten better and bigger, it used to be very limited. They make very good Bloody Mary and mic

Just left Descanso beach club and had a great time! The Pina colada and Bloody Mary were delicious!! Heather, our server, was very nice and attentive. The food wasn't bad, just tasted like any beach club or bar food you've had before. Every

I have not been there yet! Having a wedding pre-party, but my grandson has not come to get me yet!
The location is absolutely beautiful.
The drinks, the food, everything is perfect. Everything is delicious and the daiquiris really stole the show. The pina colada was heavenly too. The toasted coconut was an excellent touch. However, service takes so long to get your order and to check
Beautiful beach club getaway! I wish we were able to book
Beautiful beach club getaway! I wish we were able to book one of the loungers but tip - you gotta do that way in advance! Loved the accessibility of the restrooms, showers, floaty stores and within walking distance from the express. We sat at the b

- it was our first time here and the view and the place looked great. we wanted to have a little lunch but it took 30mins to get someone to come to us, we asked 3 different servers and even the bartender for a menu but they said that they would come
Spent the day here in a cabana with my girls.
We're pretty easy to please when it comes to a beach day. Views, vibes, good food and drinks. Descanso definitely passed the vibe check. We loved our cabana that came with 2 chairs on the exterior... the section was just beautiful and felt like

Worth splurging for
So this is as close as you get to a real beach place in Avalon. It is larger than the two small ones near the pier. Rocky. Recommend water shoes. it is a private club but is open to public or something like that. There are cabanas etc that are for re
Must-do while in Avalon
This is a must-do! If you enjoy soaking up the sun and a trip to the beach, I highly recommend spending at least a day here. The customer service is also exquisite. I had a problem with booking and immediately their team was there to help. Thank yo
Lovely location for lunch
The food at this restaurant is fresh and delicious. It was also one of the few places we could purchase whole food plant-based dishes. We would highly recommend it.
Must do on Catalina!
This beach club is an absolute must do when coming to Catalina! It’s the only beach are that’s not public so it’s much nicer and secluded off on its own. You can rent two chairs, which comes with two towels and an umbrella. You also have a serv
Overall good. Pavilion property was fantastic with service. No microwaves in the rooms.
Amazing drinks and food. Added ahi tuna to the chicken nachos and total French kiss. We stayed at the Pavilion which was part of the descanso beach property. pavilion is nice but no microwave in the room which was disappointing considering the ro
Amazing!!
We had Diana during our stay and she was incredible! We had a bunch of people coming in and out and she catered to us the entire time. Throughly enjoyed her and our time here!
Great View, Delicious Food
I had lunch here (and drinks), and it was delicious. There is a lovely ocean view, and the menu has a nice variety. The staff were very kind and attentive. I would definitely return if I visit Catalina Island again.
Worth every penny!
We went over the 4th of July holiday and needless to say it was busy. We scored a cabana on the 4th and were ecstatic! The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The cabana came with waters, plenty of towels, and our own waiter. At t
The vibe at this place is incredible.
It's like the best parts of Newport Beach and then add extreme amounts of chill island vacation vibes! It's hard to get a table here but with drive and determination it can be done. We were able to snag a corner seat right up against the sand and w
Was at Avalon for two days.
My wife said Descanso beach club was a mandatory go from what she's heard. We went & it DID NOT disappoint. The ambiance and food exceeded all the hype!
Best First time experience
The lounge chairs were so comfortable, and had a great beach access for the kids to play in the water while the hubby and me enjoyed some margaritas. The service was awesome! Special shoutout to Roberto. My daughter left her apple watch behind and he
Fantastic experience
We took a cabana and enjoy a great day there. Roberto and Raul took excellent care of us. Checked on us several time ensuring everything was great.
A great way to spend the day with other like-minded folks
A great way to spend the day with other like-minded folks on the sand. The chairs are comfortable and the staff are attentive and it's easy to request something. If not a cabana, would recommend getting there early and seeking chairs at ends of row

Awful customer service
I visited Catalina Island to celebrate my 30th birthday with friends and reserved a Hillside Cabana at Descanso Beach Club. While the food and drinks were great, our experience was completely ruined by shockingly poor customer service. At 4:30 PM, w
To be honest, the place was a bit mid.
The food was okay and there were no servers so we had to place/pick up our food order at the bar. While I was not impressed with my experience there (tik tok gave me fomo so I made it a priority) the buffalo milk was good.
Excellent location and facilities
We loved the location, it’s off the beaten path from the busier downtown. Past the Casino/theater. It’s a good walk/hike. Changing rooms & facilities are pretty nice and they’re located strategically. Beautiful setting, I was off swimming i

wow wow wow ! this place is such A VIBE If you're looking for good drinks and a relaxing time in Catalina, I would highly recommend Descanso Beach Club. We were taken care of by Danny, who was an amazing cabana host. He elevated our experience by
Romantic weekend getaway
Little gem for a romantic weekend getaway, rustic reclusive small resort on St Catalina Island. We mainly dined in Avalon. There is not too much to do on the island. Snorkling is good.

Note: I went here during the off-season so I can't vouch for the $2 fee. This beach club is very beautiful with access to a clean beach with calm little waves. I went on a perfect day, it was a little windy but not too hot and not too cold. We wal

My sisters and I had an amazing time at Descanso
My sisters and I had an amazing time at Descanso celebrating my sisters 30th Birthday! Pablo and the staff were so accommodating and super friendly. We will definitely be back soon! Thank you Descanso Team!
Frozen.
Prepackaged shit. Horrible. Just another one of the island's jewels screwed up be the Santa Catalina Island Company. Truly disgusting. HIGH, HIGH PRICES.
Great experience
Roberto is amazing. He got great customer service, amazing personality. I was there for a few minutes but he made the experience soo fun. Definitely coming back
Good food; good service
This was about a 15 minute walk from where our ship tendered. We pre-reserved lounge chairs on the water's edge. The "beach" was actually a cliff of rocks. We enjoyed just sitting on the beach, but it probably wouldn't be great for those wh
Wonderful beach experience!
My wife and I were at Catalina Island in September 2023. While there, we rented 2 chairs and an umbrella at the Descanso Beach Club. Table service is provided along with the chairs. The server brought my wife Buffalo Milk, a creamy liquor drink tha
Rent the cabana! Great experience 😃
Beautiful beach and lovely grounds. We rented a cabana and loved having our own personal waitstaff person to get us drinks and lunch. I’m not sure if the beach is always rocky but we didn’t have swim shoes so getting in the water was too hard. Bu
A Little Slice of Heaven
A Little Slice of Heaven Review of Descanso Beach Club I have never really understood why people loved Catalina so much so I decided to give it a try with a family weekend on the island. There were fur adults & our two year old grand daughter. T
Connect with users posting reservations for Descanso Beach Club Avalon
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Descanso Beach Club Avalon. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Descanso Beach Club Avalon at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Descanso Beach Club Avalon page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Descanso Beach Club Avalon to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Descanso Beach Club Avalon!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
