Hotel del Coronado

Ended up not staying because the whole reason for us to stay at this hotel was gone. The Sand Castles man has been moved from in front of the hotel. He always had quotes from famous Americans and his sandcastles were works of art. We were able to find a hotel near where he now is further north on the beach.

Hey Everyone not to be a bummer and I hate writing bad reviews but I would definitely want to know this. Simply put - The Hotel Del Coronado Beach is not suitable for swimming. They won't tell you this when you lay down your credit card to book their pricey rooms. They won't even tell you when you check in. The hazard is due to the sewage/e-coli over flow from neighboring Tijuana. It is dangerous and can lead to many serious health problems. PLEASE look up the water index/quality prior to booking. Check out sdbeachinfo.com - for example today (and the last 40 days) it says Bacteria levels exceed health standards. Avoid water contact. You can do better and not make yourselves sick!

Staying at Hotel del Coronado was a memorable experience, especially because I stayed in the historic Victorian building. It truly felt like being an insider—immersed in both the hotel’s storied past and its present-day luxury. The architecture and ambiance deliver a wonderful old-world feel, while the rooms are thoughtfully updated with modern amenities, including USB and USB-C outlets throughout, which made everyday travel needs easy and convenient. Because the historic section is open to the public, there’s a lively, iconic energy during the day. That said, staying overnight adds a special layer to the experience. Once the day visitors clear out, you really feel like part of something exclusive, almost like you have access to a behind-the-scenes version of this legendary hotel. For travelers who prefer a quieter or more private setting away from outside visitors, I’d recommend looking at The Views (formerly Ocean Towers), Beach Village, or Shore House. Each offers a different atmosphere and level of privacy. It’s worth noting that Hotel Del has over 150 different room types, so choosing the right one matters. I highly recommend calling the hotel directly for room recommendations or working with a knowledgeable local travel agent who can help match the room and location to your specific needs. Doing this will elevate an already special stay into an exceptional one.

The beach village by Hilton is one of my favorite properties I’ve stayed at so far. You will be remiss if you don’t go see Daniel at the ocean club for mimosas during breakfast! Has the absolute best time!!

Staff was nonexistent. Crowded. Not worth the price. Can’t swim in the beach. Very expensive food. Too crowded to truly enjoy. Definitely better ways to explore Coronado. The whole experience felt inauthentic
