Hotel del Coronado

The property is fantastic but the rooms are terrible. Our room had rusty fixtures, vents with heavy dusty and ripped bed linen. It’s a shame that they don’t take better care of the rooms. The property itself is right on the ocean with lots of F&B and activity options(very pricey). It’s also located near Orange Street which has lots of dining and shopping options.

Staying at the Del has been on my bucket list for awhile, and I was especially eager to go after the big renovation. We stayed for three nights in the Victorian part, which was lovely. The property is very nice. Surprisingly big room and very nicely appointed bathroom. Very excellent housekeeping. The beds were very comfortable and there was a good amount of storage space for a family of three. I also appreciated small details like an extra shelf in the bathroom for toiletries and side tables on both sides of the bed with outlets for charging phones. We had an ocean view room on a corner so we saw some parking lot plus the ocean, but that was ok. One thing that really stood out during the entire experience was the friendliness of the staff. The front desk, housekeeping, restaurant, pool, and beach staff were amazing. We enjoyed some very good meals on the property. Although the breakfast buffet at the Verandah restaurant is pricey we thought it was worth it for the al fresco dining and excellent quality and selection. We enjoyed a takeout breakfast at the ENO market another day. Very good food on the Sun Deck and we splurged on a dinner at Serea, which was delicious. The facilities were great, the cabana pool was very nice, the gym had all the equipment needed for a good workout. We did make reservations for beach loungers which was enjoyable, although the beach swimming wasn't fully available that day. (Coronado beach has some water quality issues, so it is good to check before you go.) Lounging under an umbrella was still relaxing for the adults, even though my son was a bit disappointed, so we took him to the pool after. The adults did use the spa, which had nice facilities and the treatments were good. I am still feeling the glow of my facial a week later! Our overall experience made my spouse a convert on the benefits of the resort lifestyle. I hope we can come back to the Del in the near future.

We rented a day bed on the beach at Hotel Del, and Wendy Wolf was our girl! She took care of us and always made sure we had what we needed and then some!! She was spectacular!!

Wendy Wolf took excellent care of all our food, cocktail and even sandcastle enthusiasm on the beach ⛱️ 😀. Great stay and ghost hunting experience too!

We rode the Old Town Trolley over the Coronado Bridge and then toured the Hotel Del Coronado. The hotel is very interesting to check out. The lobby is facinating and the landscaping and gardens are beautiful. We learned a lot of history about the island and the hotel on the trolley tour. Take some time to walk the beautiful beach adjacent to the hotel.
