| An Entire Day of Spa Play! |
|
|
DATE: Make an early appointment for two massages at The Spa at the Del. Spend the entire day playing at the spa and then stay at The Hotel Del Coronado for dinner and drinks!
BLOG: Seriously speaking- if you want TRUE relaxation it doesn’t get more simple than this: shell out the money for a massage at The Spa at the Del. Done. You’ve just paid for a day’s worth of “play.” Not only are their massages majestic… you can hit the jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, and relaxation room, or hang out with your guest(s) at the exclusive spa pool. While you may feel as if you are on display like an exotic animal at the zoo (everyone will walk by the glass enclosed pool), it is only because people are peering in to see what they are not privy to. You can also bring drinks in from the neighboring bars so you can cocktail while you people watch. Here are some food options for the Hotel Del: During the warmest months, the Sun Deck Bar & Grill hosts a live band that covers every summer-inspired song you can imagine on their sun soaked deck. The deck overlooks the hotel’s pool on one side and the beach on the other. The grill offers a “burgers and fries” appeal, but they’ve added some “pseudo-cabana” couches and fire pits for a trendier vibe. Expect to be entertained by the older crowd breaking out of their sea shells and dancing to the band! One of my favorite things to do is post up at the outdoor bar at Ocean 1500. It’s very in vogue with clean lines and crisp cocktails. You can have a full dinner or just a few appetizers. To sum it up- take your guest(s) here if you are trying to impress. (But… you’re still at the beach- so feel free to wear your flip flops and bathing suit if you sit outside.) If Ocean 1500 is too hot (uber-trendy) and the Sun Deck Bar & Grill is too cold (no shirts or shoes required)… then Sheerwater would be “just right” for dinner. It’s casual, moderately priced, and has the same spectacular views. If you are really committed to pampering yourself then you MUST go to the Del’s high-class wine bar, Eno. These people know wine and they are passionate about it! I recommend sitting outside and enjoying a wine flight paired with a cheese or chocolate tasting. It might be such a sensual experience that you head straight for the grand foyer and reserve a room for the night! Eno is pretty pricey, but they do have happy hour specials on Tuesdays (10 tastings for $10) and Fridays ($5 glasses), so there is no excuse not to check this place out. Spreckle’s Sweet Treats (Chocolate Treats), Mootime Creamery (Ice Cream), the Cabana Bar (Cocktails- but open seasonally) and the Babcock & Story Bakery (Caffe and Scones) are all little gems that give purpose to your walk abouts at the Del.
