I had an incredible time at El Cordova Hotel on Coronado Island! The staff was wonderfully accommodating and made our stay memorable. The suite we stayed in was spacious with all the amenities we needed, perfect for our family. Plus, the courtyard was a lovely spot to unwind. On the downside, while the rooms were comfortable, a bit more decoration would have enhanced their appeal. Also, the pool was smaller than I expected, which might be a concern for families with young children. Overall, it's an amazing choice for a beach getaway.
