My best friend and I had a girl's getaway here. Coronado is our hometown and we KNOW the Hotel Del in and out. The Beach Village is the most wonderful place. We had a 3 BR condo with kitchen and everything you can imagine. On our giant patio were 2 soaking tubs and a fire pit. We looked right out onto the beach and could watch all the action on the boardwalk and beach. Great sunsets and sunrises of course. The service and amenities are world class. Breakfast was in the cottage next door each morning with many yummy choices. Eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, breakfast rolls, toast, bagels etc. Coffee and juices too of course. We relaxed, ordered room service, had some spa services, relaxed some more, shopped. The Beach Village is by far THE nicest place in The Hotel Del. You pay for it, but some things are just worth it!

When my husband and I arrived at the special entrance to The Beach Village we were blown away. The staff immediately had someone escort us to the concierge. The gentleman gave us short tour and then proceeded to take us to our room. We were the last unit top floor down and it was AMAZING! Since this was just a trip for hubby and me and not with our kids it was perfect! We were next door to the adult pool and spa. Very convenient! It was away from the kiddie pool and the screaming children. The breakfast every morning (which is included in your stay) was really good. The only thing I would suggest is to change it up some mornings. Every morning the exact same thing can be boring. There is a special place on the beach reserved only for the Beach Village guests. It was lovely and the staff gave us special attention. Our favorite night was at their restaurant, 1500. I can just say the food was out of this world and the staff was very attentive to your every need. We stayed 5 day, 4 nights and I was totally relaxed at the end of the stay. The only negative I can say was there was not enough closet space. We were on a 9 day vacation and had quite of few hang up clothes to hang. We had to get the staff to bring up a rolling rack to place the rest of our clothes on. Of course it's pricey but I always say, "You get what you pay for."

This was our third stay at the Hotel Del and our first at the Beach Villages. I would say the experience at the villages was much better than at the hotel. The cottages are newer and offer more privacy than the rooms at the hotel. We found the service to be exceptional and we always felt taken care of. The breakfast buffet was included with our village stay and was always fresh with a pretty good selection of breakfast offerings. The village pool was very quiet and again offered great service. As a beach village guest you also get complimentary beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas set up on the beach for you. This was a really nice perk we took full advantage of.
We did the s'mores on the beach bonfire with friends one night during our stay and I would highy recommend that. The hotel had a kids club with a variety of activites daily. My kids made sand keychains and really seemed to enjoy the time they spent in the club. The villages are significantly more expensive in comparison to the hotel but they offer specials periodically which makes staying there more reasonable. I would recommend the villages, especially for families looking for the perfect summer get away.

My wife and 2 year old kid had an excellent stay at Beach Village (BV) from December 29 - January 7th for our second week in San Diego/Coronado Island. We stayed in room 2218. We loved the Beach Village so much we added two days to our stay! Excellent service from all the staff, definately 5 star.

We actually booked a room at the Del, but checkin was a nightmare so I walked over to the Beach Village to see what they had available. I ran into the house keeping manager and he actually canceled our Del reservation and booked our Beach Village room onsite as a walkup - $700 a night. You have access to all the facilities at the Del, but the Del people do not have access to BV.

One thing is that daily full breakfast is included at The Windsor House with your Beach Village stay.

If you stay on Coronado, this is the place to stay. I had originally booked the Loews but switched to the Beach Village/Del since the BV is directly on the beach, and the Loews is not.

Room - we really liked having an ice maker in the room, flip a switch instant on fireplace, large patio to watch the sunset and the extra large deep bathtub for soaking and relaxing.

Two minor issues - our room keys did not work on the gates to return from the beach on beach walkway into the BV, frustrating. The room shades had Roman window blinds with visible cords which are dangerous for little kids and should be replaced with safer window coverings immediately - I did write the manager directly on this and the cost is minimal.

All in all we had an excellent stay and was the perfect place to celebrate my wedding anniversary with my wife and toddler. Many thanks to Gabriel for help setting up a dinner on our balcony and the gift of champagne for our special event. Also to the staff for providing beach toys for our kid during our stay.
