To many San
Diegans, Coronado is the city beyond the sea, a enigmatic Atlantis we
rarely get to and often forget is there. We’re missing out. As
innumerable travelers insinuate each year, Coronado is a perfect
place to spend a slice of summer, and the Coronado Island Marriott
Resort is the place to stay. “Like a magical land rising from the
sapphire blue sea”, the Marriott, gracing sixteen waterfront acres,
offers a truly “unique setting that feels far removed from
everything, yet conveniently close to downtown San Diego.”
San Diego, that
bustling skyline across the bay, is just a short cab or ferry ride
away. However, the Marriott (and Coronado itself) holds countless
comforts and attractions, all which can be enjoyed without the
teeming multitudes. If the bay water is too cool for a dip, the hotel
maintains not just one heated pool, but three, amoeba-like miniature
oceans ringed with palms and patio chairs. A full-service spa is
located on the premises, along with two Mediterranean restaurants,
L’Escale and La Provence; or instead, you can enjoy the expansive
room service provided.
Many rooms are adorned with spacious balconies
overlooking grand views of the bay, the ideal place to relax with a
loved one, singular, or plural, if you prefer to bring the whole
family. And furriest members are included: for a small sanitation
fee, you can bring Fido along too.
