HOTEL DEL CORONADO: A TEEN DREAM TRAVEL DESTINATION

Coronado, CA — The Hotel del Coronado’s endless white sand beaches, pools, fun dining options and nearby boathouse make it a spectacular playground for teenagers. And just in time for summer, The Del will introduce Vibz, a new year-round hang-out for those ages 13-17. Vibz, a contemporary lounge, is the perfect escape for those looking for a break from the family. This exciting hotspot will offer billiards, foosball, darts, karaoke, computers, movie-time media, Dance Dance Revolution and, most importantly, the opportunity for teens to meet other people their own age.

The Del also offers year-round biking tours and surfing lessons, plus cabana, surfboard, boogie board and volleyball rentals. Shopaholics can indulge at the Shops at The Del, a variety of boutiques offering the latest styles and brands of sunglasses, shoes, apparel and bath and body products. Or, teens can just hang out and enjoy grilled hamburgers and hot dogs on the Sun Deck, coffee drinks at Babcock & Story Bakery or delicious ice cream from MooTime Creamery.

For those who want to relax and unwind, the Spa at The Del offers spa treatments designed specifically for teens. The Clarifying Facial cleans, detoxifies, exfoliates and hydrates and is perfect for acne-prone skin. And, the Teen Spa Sampler allows teens to choose two 25-minute treatments from a menu that includes a Swedish Massage, Express Facial, Back Facial and Salt Scrub.

This summer, The Del also offers extended teen programming including pool parties, relay races, ping-pong tournaments and comprehensive 4-hour surf camp.

Fun in Coronado/San Diego
Coronado Island offers an array of magnificent shopping, dining and recreational offerings. With several surf and skate shops, plus fun San Diego apparel stores, teenagers are sure to find everything they need to take home the total Southern California experience. Orange Avenue and the Ferry Landing also feature dozens of eclectic coffee shops and eateries, perfect for hanging out. Coronado’s world-class skate park features 16,000 square feet of concrete ramps, bowls, grinds and jumps including the Street Plaza (2' to 3' deep), the Clover Bowl (5' to 7' deep) and the Teardrop (8’ deep). And, the Coronado Municipal Golf Course, located just across the street from The Del, features a putting green, driving range and an 18-hole course.

With year-round sunshine, endless recreation, dining and shopping options, plus attractions such as SeaWorld, the World-Famous San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park, San Diego is an ideal destination for people traveling with teens.
