For someone that lives in the southern part of San Diego county, the Coronado Beach resort also has amazing day use privileges, including parking, beach cruisers, and the BBQ on the rooftop deck with views of the Hotel del Coronado, Ballast Point, and of course the Pacific Ocean.
One of the most beneficial, but also most overlooked, aspect of being a timeshare owner is the ability to have day use at your resort. (Another overlooked, but very beneficial aspect is bonus time, but that will be the subject of a future post!) We’ve already discussed Day Use at the Welk Resort in this blog, so now we’ll examine day use at the Carlsbad Inn and Coronado Beach Resort. So what is “day use” and why is it so valuable? Put simply, day use is the ability to use some or all of the resort’s facilities, parking, and equipment during times when you are not a guest at the resort. I love the beach, but hate trying to find parking at the beach. If you own at the Carlsbad Inn, you can call ahead and reserve a parking pass, then simply show up and park in the resort’s garage. No need to go up and down streets, pay $20 to park in a private lot, or sit and wait for someone to leave. Once you get to the resort, you can use the pool and spa, check out a beach cruiser or boogie board, and use the resort’s bathrooms. And it doesn’t matter whether you own a week 3 that you bought for $500, or a week 27 that you bought for $10,000 - either way you get the same level of day use benefits. During Thanksgiving week at the Carlsbad Inn, we met several owners that were enjoying day use privileges at the resort, including a group of local owners and their guests that would sit around one of the fire pits at night and share their favorite craft beers with each other (and us!) We also met a really nice family with young kids that were enjoying the pool and spa, and they told us the Carlsbad Inn was like a second home to them during the summers. For someone that lives in the southern part of San Diego county, the Coronado Beach resort also has amazing day use privileges, including parking, beach cruisers, and the BBQ on the rooftop deck with views of the Hotel del Coronado, Ballast Point, and of course the Pacific Ocean. For San Diego locals, day use at the Carlsbad Inn and Coronado Beach resort is an unbeatable value, especially when you can pick up a cheap week for $500 or less, and then exchange through GPX (next blog post).
