What guests think

At ICONA Avalon, travelers praise the beachfront location, clean and comfortable rooms, and friendly staff, while highlighting on-site dining and pool amenities, but also cite drawbacks like high prices, occasional noise, and inconsistent service touches.

Popular amenities include the outdoor pool and bar, beach chairs and umbrellas, and on-site dining with a shuttle to nearby spots. A handful of guests mentioned crowded or unsupervised pool scenes with many children, occasional noise from service areas or streets, and uneven follow-through on requests or third-party booking perks. Expect a stylish, family-oriented beachfront stay with lively common areas.

Right on the beach which made things very easy. Nice to have beach chairs and umbrellas. The food choices were convenient but just average quality. But all the staff were very helpful and nice. Very nice area.

Amazing stay. We went in the “off season” and got upgraded to a slightly larger room. The proximity to the beach was great, especially because we were traveling with our children. Great heated pool with a sun shelf.

Excellent in all categories! Clean. Beautiful. Great staff. Great location. So convenient having a beautiful pool and beach and bar and restaurant all in one place. Staff made everything so easy. Wish the pool bar had a few more healthy food options, but they have two salads and an açaí bowl, and everything they served was delicious. We’ll be back!

We particularly enjoyed sitting by the pool and having a beverage at the outdoor bar. It was a very relaxing vacation for us at Icona Avalon. Our floor was very quiet and we could walk to the shopping district in Stone Harbor.

On the website the property looks gorgeous. I thought I was in for a upscale getaway to the beach to relax but the entire hotel was filled with children and families. The staff seemed young and inexperienced. There is no indoor pool or spa. Also it seems like when you book with expedia you are destined to get a room by the elevator. Hotels have no respect for you if you book through expedia. We did not receive any complimentary bottle of wine like Expedia listed. Overall I feel ripped off by the prices without any amenities. Avalon it self also sucks! Nothing is ever open and everything is always sold out. Save your money and go to an all inclusive.

I loved staying here and will come back. My only gripe is that they don’t have an organized process to get your bags In and out of the hotel. To get my bags in the hotel the receptionist asked me to go to valet but there wasn’t anyone there. Two patrons helped me carry my luggage in (I had my 16 month old baby with me.) Checking out I called 30 minutes ahead for someone to help me take my bags to the car, no one came and I ended up doing it myself with my toddler. I did see employees walking around with hotel trolly carts but when I needed it I didn’t get the service. Other than this the stay was great.

Front desk immediate ominous mention that I booked 3rd party at check-in. Front desk said would send up items, did not and then phone dead in the evening. unable to get simple item as blankets so the kids were cold all night. At checkout, folio couldn't print at check out and now seeing that I am OVERBILLED. 3 times reached out to correct and have had to get my credit card company involved. have been here before but this visit disappointing.
