Hotel del Coronado, Curio Collection by Hilton

Hotel del Coronado, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful beautiful experience…..felt like we were staying on a remote island somewhere. Breakfast choices were limited however dinner choices were divine. We felt the rental of beach chairs/umbrella was excessive so opted for the pool instead. Took us a day or so to figure out the lay of the land but we just kept wondering. Memories that will last a lifetime 💙"
