About Spa at The Del - Hotel del Coronado

The Hotel del Coronado is located on the 7.4-square-mile island of Coronado, which is in San Diego Bay and linked to San Diego by bridge. This Victorian-era hotel, known simply as "The Del," has a prime beachfront location, with full or partial ocean views from many of its guest rooms. Built in 1888 and now a National Historic Landmark, the resort has played host to U.S. presidents, King Edward VIII (who abdicated the throne to marry Coronado resident Wallis Simpson), Thomas Edison, L. Frank Baum, and Charles Lindbergh, among many others. The resort was also one of the backdrops for the movie Some Like it Hot, and it's rumored to have its own ghost. There are several pools, a beach, and programs for children and teenagers. The Spa at the Del has ocean views and hydrotherapy-focused treatments. The resort hosts weddings and has meeting space as well.

Had a great massage and facial, wonderful facilities, cant be beat. Pricey, but worth it for the view from the spa pool! Pedicure is at the salon, Polish did not last that long and they mischarged me and then fixed it without telling me first. I had to call to find out why.

I really enjoyed my experience in the Spa at the Hotel del Coronado. I was greeted right away and shown around this beautiful spa. The 2 treatments I had were amazing and all employees I interacted with were so kind and very informative. I recommend this Spa to anyone that's going to be in the San Diego area you will not be disappointed.

The Spa at the Del was absolutely wonderful. It was so relazing and the treaments were great. On Wednesdays you can get a massage and/or a facial for $99 each. After my treatments, I just layed out at the spa pool with my comfortable robe and just relaxed for a few hours. I will definately visit again when I'm in San Diego. Everyone at the spa was pleasant and very nice, especially Monica.

My boyfriend and I loved our visit to the Del Spa. We got a deal and wanted to try this spa out. Our verdict: we can't wait to go there next. The only problem is the price. It's so ridiculously expensive at full price but they do have deals if you check out their website.The facilities are basically the same compared to other luxury spas I've been to (steam room, indoor jacuzzi, etc) but the one thing that stands out is their private outdoor area only for spa customers. It has a breathtaking view of the ocean and also a nice pool. It's just a relaxing area after a massage.I would recommend avoiding the peak days like Saturdays so you can utilize the facilities with less people. I went on a Sunday and it wasn't bad.

We go to the Del each year and I save for my experience at the Spa. On the day we book our service, we have access to the spa amenities for the entire day - and I love to relax in the steam room and the beautiful infinity pool outside. To top things off, Yamaguchi's is a great salon, best hair treatment ever.

I was so delighted to find this spa on a recent trip to CA. The hotel of course is so well known . . . but the spa is just as fantastic! My facial was wonderful but event more so was the private outdoor pool with beach views and the attendant who catered to all my needs: tea upon arrival, constant attention to make sure I have everything I needed. She even noticed that the robe was small since I'm tall and curvy and got me a larger one . . . something I would have been too shy to request. Also, I noticed some girls having a spa party and it seemed like a great fun . . . this would be a great place for an event with friends.If you find yourself in SD this is a great spa to visit!

I visit the Hotel Del whenever I am in San Diego and the spa is part of their world class treatment. After your Zen experience, there is an ocean patio to have a drink and relax!

I came here with the rest of a bridal party right before my sisters wedding. For it being summertime and a Saturday the spa was almost empty, it almost felt like we had the spa to ourselves.While my massage was not the best I have had it still hit the spot before all the events of the day started. The facilities were great and all of the staff was very helpful.

I have visited this spa on three separate occasions and the services have been relaxing and consistent. The facilities are beautiful and the overall experience is fantastic. The services are a little on the pricey side, but in line with pricing in general on Coronado Island.
