    Score 88/100 · Order: Beachfront Victorian resort · $450–900/night

    The Del has been on Coronado Beach since 1888 and the recent renovation cleaned up the rooms without erasing the history. You are directly on one of the best beaches in the country, with a resort's worth of pools and restaurants behind you. Rates are high and parking is expensive.

    Local tip: Book in the Victorian building for character or the Shore House for modern rooms.

    Score 91/100 · Order: Beachfront pool with cabana · Guests / limited day passes

    Two pools steps from Coronado Beach with the red-roofed Victorian behind you. It's the most photographed pool deck in San Diego for good reason.

    Local tip: Book a cabana in advance in summer; they sell out weeks ahead.
