We finally (!) booked the airfare for the DL/SD vacation we've been talking about for years. Unfortunately, since we're stretching it out to 12 days we have to go when the oldest is out of school so we will be setting forth on June 1.
I have been researching San Diego and, honestly, I am no closer to choosing one area than I was when I started. So confused. Can you help me by throwing out suggestions?
Our idea is that we'd like to stay somewhere near (on, preferably) a beach so, after spending the a.m. at Seaworld, Zoo, Wild Animal Park, etc, we could spend the post-nap hours letting the kids play in the sand.
The hotel has to allow our family of five, of course.
The sky isn't the limit with price but I do like my resort amenities - nice pool and grounds - and clean, spacious rooms are lovely too. We'd love to be walking distance or a short drive to great restaurants.
Does any location fit the bill best, first of all? Is Coronado too far out to be a base of operations? The Del would be wonderful but I am not sure the "no view" room we can afford there is worth it for us when a less well known place might let us see be oceanfront for less. I know you are paying a premium for the experience at the Del.
How about La Jolla?
Is there any hotel that fits the list I've described that you can throw out? Thanks!
