Our romantic seaside honeymoon at The Beach Village, Coronado

Checking into our private beachfront cottage in the Beach Village at The Del, we knew we had chosen the perfect destination for our honeymoon. Immediately we found ourselves enveloped luxury and comfort of seaside charm. With our spectacular ocean view we couldn't wait to explore the island and San Diego.

On the first night we took a romantic sunset stroll along the white sand beaches of Coronado Island with soothing sound of the waves breaking.
On our return to the resort we dinned at the resort's world class restaurant, 1500 OCEAN. The restaurant and menu were exquisite, a warm inviting interior with cabana or oceanfront terrace seating. Everything was delectable from the appetizers to desert. Another evening we enjoyed wines from around the world at the ENO, a state of the art wine bar, which combined all of my guiltiest pleasures, wine, cheese, and chocolate.

After indulging in the cuisine we had an amazing time exploring the island on bikes, boats, and surf boards. We feel in love with the island while sailing around the beautiful Coronado Bay. Surfing was our favorite activity and during our week stay, I like to think we're both professionals...well almost.

No vacation would be complete without a luxurious spa experience. The Spa at The Del is without a doubt one of the best spas. We enjoyed a relaxing couples massage, relaxed on the Spa's expansive private terrace and vanishing edge pool overlooking the magnificent Windsor Lawn and the Pacific Ocean. It was truly a world-class spa.

Our Beach Village concierge was amazing helping us explore San Diego, including the delicious Italian cuisine in Little Italy, to the fun and lively Gaslamp Quarter of Downtown San Diego, fantastic shopping, and major attractions such as SeaWorld, the world-famous San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park. We loved how close we were to the city center but still could escape to our private island getaway.

Nestled on Coronado Island, Beach Village went above and beyond our expectations. With the warm Californian sun, white sand beaches, and beautiful blue water of the Pacific, Coronado is the perfect island escape.

An Idyllic Coastal Getaway at La Costa Resort and Spa

Southern California is absolutely beautiful and San Diego is its gem. From the moment my husband and I entered through the gates of La Costa Resort and Spa, we were embraced by the picturesque beauty and leisurely charm of coastal California lifestyle. Here within this quaint village setting, we really delved into some SoCal rest and relaxation.
Nestled among 400 lush garden acres near the beach in Carlsbad, CA-but miles away from the pressures of the world-this delightful coastal California hotel was a haven of rejuvenation, comfort and escape. We indulged in spa treatments, massages and facials and left completely refreshed and rejuvenated.
We were surrounded by the casual elegance and refined comfort of the resort. Our newly renovated spacious suite was modern yet classic. We had everything at our fingertips, crisp bed linens, a signature line of personal care and bath products, a flat screen tv and high-speed internet access. Everything was so refined and really made our stay all the more enjoyable. Beyond the walls of our room was even more stuff for us to enjoy. We were just steps away from world-class golf, tennis, dining and of course the spa. There was really no need to leave the resort, we had it all right there!
We live in fast-paced hustle and bustle Los Angeles and La Costa really let us escape the smog, stress and traffic. Now we know that relaxation and rejuvenation are just a short drive down the California coast and we'll be sure to be back to La Costa when we need a quiet and tranquil escape.

Tamarind Beach Hotel & Yacht Club

We have just returned home from Canuoan on a 14 day vacation. This was our second time staying at the Tamarind Beach Hotel. We we returned there because we love the quiet and friendly qualities of the Tamarind. The hotel staff was super attentive and gracious.

We came back for a second time specifically because of the beautiful rooms right on the beach, the cleanliness of the hotel and we most enjoyed Floyd, our beach attendant and Peter, our beach bartender. We never, ever had to ask for anything, they were helpful every minute. They seemed to truly care about our needs and went out of their way to make sure we had a great time.

We are already planning our next trip back! We recommend this place if you want great service and people who care about you.

Our Perfect Honeymoon at La Casa Que Canta

From the name right down to the cuisine, everything about La Casa Que Canta was absolutely exquisite. When we started planning our honeymoon we didn't really know where we wanted to go; all I knew was that I wanted a quiet, relaxing retreat and I wanted to feel pristine ivory sand between my toes and feel the cool ocean breeze everyday. Located in beautiful Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa, Mexico, La Casa Que Canta was exactly what we were looking for- peaceful and romantic. What's more is that it's an architectural marvel! It was like nothing we'd ever seen before. Ingeniously sculpted on a promontory with an extraordinary tiered architecture, La Casa Que Canta was even more breathtaking person.


We knew the moment we walked into the lobby that we'd picked the right resort for our honeymoon. The gracious staff welcomed us with open arms and really worked to make sure that our stay was perfect. The staff was so attentive and their service was unparalleled to any other resort we've stayed at. They showed us to our room, the junior Senorita Sonrisa suite in the private residence El Murmullo. Our view from the room was gorgeous. We watched the sun go down over the Zihuatanejo Bay everynight as we enjoyed a nice glass of champagne.


During the day we lounged by one of the plunge pools, took a walk along the bay and enjoyed yoga there at the resort but our favorite activity there was the cooking lessons with chef Antonio! We love Mexican food and discovering the secrets of Mexican cuisine from Chef Antonio was so much fun! We've already tried some of his tips at home.

At night we dined at the resort's restaurant. They had a variety of traditional Mexican dishes for us to choose from and I'll admit that it took me a while to decide what delectable dish I wanted to satisfy my palette each and every time we ate there; we tried breakfast, lunch and dinner and all our meals were divine and mouthwatering. We especially loved the classic ceviche with perfectly crispy tortilla chips, their fish tacos and their margaritas of course!


Our honeymoon at La Casa Que Canta really was the romantic retreat we were looking for. The service, the suite, the food, the amenities were all amazing and we're so glad we decided to go with La Casa Que Canta for our special vacation.

Terranea Resort

We went to Terranea Resort in Los Angeles in September 2009 with our two young kids; we stayed there for 7 nights. Our stay was magnificent, the service was excellent and all the staff was really friendly and helpful.

Dinner was absolutely delicious and gave a good end to the day. Our Favorite restaurant was Mar’sel. The menu features the finest, freshest, locally-produced organic ingredients available - including a few from Mar'sel's herb garden. It is simple, modern, yet innovative interpretation of California cuisine

The swimming pool was nice and quiet with an amazing view of the Pacific Coast.


We did most of the family activities the resort offers, from competing in a friendly game of bocce ball, exploring tide pools, playing golf, kayaking along the beach cove, zooming down the Resort pool's waterslide to stargazing at night by the outdoor fire pits. Terranea provides "fun, fun, fun" for families.

My husband and I went to the Spa and it was amazing. The concierge walked us to the spa, where Mike and I were brought into a wonderful smelling private room. We were on side by side massage tables and each had our own masseuse. All I can say is that I've had a lot of massages here in the US (most much more expensive), and this was the best I've ever had.

The room service menu was really good for whenever you felt like having a snack. Room cleaners were friendly and helpful in all aspects.

Overall, the stay was awesome. It was relaxing, beautiful and just perfect. We would watch the sunrise every morning and enjoy the sunset in the evenings. It far exceeded our expectations.
