I've been here several times for both lunch/dinner and overnight stay. The staff is always amazingly accommodating and will do anything to make your visit unforgettable. Visited recently to bring some friends from out of town. The valets were very friendly and helpful and the entire experience will make you feel like royals. The hospitality manager is the nicest person on earth. I highly recommend this place. The hotel is also very kid-friendly.

A delight for sure!!! A tucked away paradise. You walk back in time as you walk the corridors and use the grand staircases. Historically speaking, one of the magnificent hotels in the US. I went to a wedding here years back and it was incredible. The views of the ocean were memorizing. The setting was spectacular. Peaceful place from the late 1800s. Good food. Good service. This place is an architectural masterpiece. Grand, palatial, comfortable, old world charm and filled with people from around the globe. The workers make everyone feel special. I recommend this place for travels to southern CA. Also, if you can afford the amenities, then hold an event here. Years back, this hotel had a great tennis facility but no more. Oh well, replaced by condos. Super beach, great pool and much to do. Get ready. It is wonderful. Don't miss this place!!!! It's a secret treasure in the San Diego area. Glamorous.

There's one word to describe this place, and it's "SLOW". We came in a little earlier, and the front desk said they'll text us when the room is ready. They never did.
While we were waiting, we went to get some food at a food truck operated by the hotel, and it took them over an hour to bring out a salad and cold sandwich.
The Hilton app then stated that we should go back to the front desk to get our keys. We were met with a long line, and even though they had separate markers for Diamond members, there was no expedited line or service. Everyone was stuck together in one slow line.
When we finally got to the reception desk, it took another 20 minutes for the receptionist to find out if our room was ready at check in time.
It's a beautiful property at a beautiful location, but it's too bad this hotel is poorly managed with all around SLOW service.

We went to a Marine Corp Ball and the place is just beautiful!! The hotel was built in the 1800s and still maintains its charm :) I loved the classic feel to the building and their gift shops too! They also have an old elevator with the shutter things that has to be manned but it is in perfect condition!!!! It was SO cool!! Their Christmas decorations were also spectacular and the whole experience made me feel like I was in a Christmas movie!

The hotel is what defines the island. Even if you're not staying there, you can go to it for food, drinks, and shopping. There's a very nice wide beach that's good for lying on too. However, there are a lot of stingrays in the water, and the lifeguards often have to tell everyone to get out because too many people are stepping on them. If you really feel the desire to go in the water, make sure that you do the stingray shuffle.

I'll start by saying the hotel and beach are absolutely beautiful. Incredibly picturesque and beautiful, it's truly a joy to spend time in that environment. That said, one gains little by staying as a guest. We arrived at 11am and though they allegedly requested housekeeping clean the room earlier, we were not able to check-in until 3:30pm nor would they grant a later checkout. To pay so much and not even get a full day out of it is rather disappointing. I stayed in a Victorian king room and while it was nice, it wasn't anything special and certainly wouldn't warrant the high cost. The included breakfast as a Hilton Elite was pretty bare bones and the upgrade was not worth $20/person extra. The hotel is iconic and yet they nickel and dime you for everything. You can't see the meeting rooms or parts of the hotel without paying $40 for a tour. My suggestion would be to stay elsewhere on Coronado or San Diego and spend the day hanging around the Del.

The ambiance is second to none, absolutely gorgeous at Christmas time, it's a must-see. The service is definitely 4 stars, especially the front desk and valet. Wide variety of restaurants to eat and drink from. Story Bar serves good cocktails(just not prohibition style) and is a fave during the Winter while Sundeck bar is my favorite in the Winter. Sheerwater was quite good, coffee wasn't great but definitely 4 stars. Nice, convenient shops too but are more for tourists. We had a Victorian style room with a partial ocean view which was quaint, boutique-y, and unique but I'd definitely recommend splurging a little extra for full ocean view. In room only has complimentary coffee, NOT Nespresso though. Pillows are very soft and bed has an extra comfy layer. The only reason I'm rating 3 stars is because the entire experience left me feeling like it was just an overpriced tourist trap and not a luxury resort, and I'm a diamond member! I feel like Hilton didn't fully deliver on the brand promise of Curio and the Hotel Del.

Felt claustrophobic..I understand an old hotel...and was very excited to stay in an older historic place but as a 5'4 woman ...an having an upgraded room..I should not be able to touch the ceiling...very disapponeted..and hot..not in a goodway.....the bed almost made me go to hospital.

A must-see sight in San Diego. The hotel area is big and welcomes also visitors that don't stay over night. It's right at the beach and has restaurants, shops and an outdoor ice skating rink during Christmas season.

I walked through the grounds on my way to the beach. It's a beautiful historic building with lovely grounds, lots if bird-of-paradise. And the beach was fantastic: clean sand, not too crowded.

Went and visited the place. Not sure what you get for all the high prices. It is a beautiful historic place, and we had fun walking around the place. No idea why someone would want to stay there.

Beautiful beach and outdoor area but hotel is crowded, room was dingy with dirty carpet and perking wallpaper. And for $450 a night we got a room directly next to a giant bank of whiting air conditioners and the wall of the building next door. I knew we hadn't booked an ocean view but that was pretty ridiculous. Rather stay at the Grand del Mar or Auberge.

I stayed here before and loved it which is why I came back this weekend. But, the construction does put a dent on the beauty of the hotel,atmosphere, and your sleep. If you dont mind spending a little extra do not stay in the ocean towers (very close to construction) and stay in the main hotel. Other than that the ocean is beautiful the hotel is clean and everything is close by. I will return after construction is complete.

we toured the hotel while we were visiting the island for the weekend. it is a beautiful and historic hotel (not to mention expensive to stay there!) and well worth the visit. it is a great place to have a drink and they do have some nice shops to peruse.

Beautiful historic hotel. It smells old when you go in but I understand they are renovating. Very expensive to have drinks here but service is impeccable. Planning to go back after they renovate.

I took a tour of this hotel when I was planning my wedding - great to be in some of the historic rooms and see the amazing restaurants. I didn't choose this location, but came back and ate on the veranda and enjoyed the sunset. Amazingly peaceful and relaxing.

Beautiful, luxurious, right on the ocean. Calm, private, great for relaxing or a launching pad for sports and activities. Wonderful to walk, bike and dine around the town of Coronado.

It was really nice. Right on the beach and really beautiful. The staff was great. Took a star because food was....not great. It was a work event, so everything was free, so wasn't a huge deal for me

4/7/19. The hotel is in the midst of a HUGE renovation, which we had no knowledge of prior to booking. Realistically, they should have closed the hotel and re-opened when they completed the renovations. Instead, unsuspecting guests have been subject to a hotel experience at a landmark which is a mere shadow of its former seif. My humble opinion, call before you go! Consider the other options available in SB before staying here.

Really Beautiful hotel. There are shops to stroll through that uniquely go under the hotel. You'll find a lot of interesting history while exploring. Beautiful views. Taking a stroll on the beach is a must.

I wish i could give negative 5 stars. As a Hilton Honors member for almost a decade I was completely disappointed with this hotel. Either i was unlucky with my stay this first week of June 2019 or the West Coast standards are very different from the East Coast. A complete shame that they are allowed to carry the Hilton name. From fire alarms going off at the wee hours of the night and front desk being clueless, to pipes bursting and no hot water, to no water whatsoever coming out of the shower, to hair in the bathroom floor as we checked in, to taking them 1hr and 45 mins to clean a room to move us to....no management onsite before 9am, our 4 nights stay was a complete joke. Thankfully the Hilton Honors team displayed the sense of urgency and care this hotel staff so much lacks. Will never stay here again, even if its a free stay. hilton by the convention center or the gaslamp quarter hilton will be our choices next time. Absolute disappointment. If anyone think this a great hotel, they should stay at Casa Marina in Key West and see what great looks like, and what the Hilton brand is all about.

Beautiful place! Everything is more expensive than my price range, but it is a nice place to walk through and had a nice beach with great sand. Very family friendly. You can even see some tide pools during part of the day.

I had a truly delightful stay. The staff were welcoming and very courteous. The hotel suite was clean and beautifully decorated- very cozy and charming. The bed was comfy, the views were gorgeous. I can't wait to stay there again :)
