So if you don’t already know, Hotel Del is a huge fancy hotel here in San Diego, CA. It is located in Coronado and is a great spot for dates, so me and my man, aka Erin, headed out there to check out their beach front ice skating rink! So cute and sounded like so much fun, however, I have a confession… Erin & I totally went with the intentions of ice skating, buttttt by the time we validated our parking (At the bar of course) it was already 8:20 and it closed at 9:00, so we decided against it.

We weren’t paying $25 bucks to skate on a 2 inch rink for 30 minutes. We were both happy with our choice, it was soooo soooo cold out and the ice looked miserable plus the rink was tiny. If you are looking to just ice skate I would not suggest Coronado, DT is probably better. But, if you want to skate for a bit and run around and take cute pictures then it is worth the drive.

I decided to give you the pros and cons of the Coronado rink.

Cons: * $25 dollars for 2 hours, no one would skate for 2 hours so…. kinda annoying price wise.

* Smalllll rink, maybe holds 50 people. You can also almost see the wood coming through the rink, but we did go late at night before they closed, could be better during the day.

Pros:

* Would be perfect during the day or at sunset time because it is right on the beach, cuteee pics. Night time was not nearly as cool, I would go at around 5pm, ice skate, take pics during day light, then stick around for dinner and night time pictures around with all the pretty lights.

* Hotel Del is an amazing venue on its own. We took so many cute pictures! The entire hotel is decorated so cute!

* Tons of restaurants and bars to make an entire night of it. Overall we had so much fun just walking around, taking Christmas tree pictures and watching people eat it on the ice while we sipped on glasses of champagne. Definitely recommend dinner or drinks at the Hotel Del at this time of year, its so festive and soooo fun… and try ice skating if you’re up for it
