Loews Coronado Bay Resort

8/10 Good
"The Loews was a good place to stay. We went there for our honeymoon, and I admit, in hindsight, I do not think I would have stayed there. It is definitely family friendly, and it cost too much for what we got out of it. Now, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the rooms were nice and serviced regularly, and the place was wonderful. However, the hot tubs did go out, the bugs were frequently bad, the beach access is not good at all, and everything was more expensive than advertised. Parking is around $50 per night, which wasn't covered up front. Resort fees are almost $50 per day as well which, again were not mentioned up front. And in general, the drinks, in room dining, and food was more than it was worth. Now, I would still recommend this place because the people were pretty nice but I would caution people to know what you are spending."
