Avalon Freya Apartments

Had to write about the pool towels. At $750 per night, getting a towel the size of a kitchen towel is totally ridiculous.

Wanted to get out of town for a special Easter weekend stay. This is a beautiful resort! It is elegant in fact. Tastefully decorated in white and other muted tones. A lovely large lobby with a coffee bar, couches, tables and even a fireplace! We rented a suite and it was large and amazing! SOOO roomy and the view could not be beat! Resort is oceanfront and only a few steps to the ocean for relaxing and a swim (in warmer months!). The front desk staff could not be more helpful, and even helped me get a charger for my iPhone which I had forgotten to bring. There is a large banquet room as well as a pub restaurant onsite. We ate at the pub restaurant several times during our stay, and the food and service were excellent. Because the resort is quite pricey during the Summer season, it makes financial sense to book a stay off-season if you can sneak away. Very clean, quiet and best location to stay on this seven mile island.

We vacation every summer and look forward to seeing Pasquale behind the coffee counter. He’s a super friendly guy who makes a point to converse with his customers. We make a point to say goodbye and “ see ya next year” before we leave.

My wife and I had a phenomenal experience this past June at the Icona Hotel in Avalon NJ. The Hotel was clean, the room well appointed, the staff friendly and the food was great. We have been customers for several years and will continue on for years to come.

My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding at Icona Avalon, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. My family has been coming here since it was the Golden Inn, long before the Icona renovation, so getting married here felt incredibly special and nostalgic. The transformation of the property is beautiful, and our guests could not stop talking about the breathtaking beachfront setting, the gorgeous reception space, and how seamless the entire day felt. What truly made our experience exceptional, though, was the incredible support we received from Jaynese and Marina throughout the entire planning process. Since we were planning a South Jersey beach wedding while living in the Baltimore/Philadelphia area, having coordinators we could completely trust was invaluable. From our very first conversations through the wedding day itself, they were organized, responsive, proactive, and genuinely invested in making our day everything we had envisioned. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but Jaynese and Marina made us feel completely taken care of every step of the way. No question was ever too small, every detail was thoughtfully coordinated, and they always made us feel like we were in the best hands. By the time our wedding day arrived, I wasn't worried about a thing because I knew they had everything under control. On the wedding day, everything ran flawlessly. They kept the timeline moving effortlessly, anticipated needs before we even realized them, and handled countless behind-the-scenes details so that my husband and I could simply be present and enjoy one of the best days of our lives. That kind of peace of mind is truly priceless. If you're considering Icona Avalon for your wedding, I cannot recommend it highly enough. Between the stunning venue, incredible staff, and the unmatched care, professionalism, and organization from Jaynese and Marina, our wedding day exceeded every expectation. We are so grateful to the entire Icona Avalon team for creating memories we'll cherish forever.
