While Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, we know there are plenty of ways, reasons, and opportunities to show your loved one how much they mean to you.</p>
<p>Make Coronado Inn your love nest for the night or extend your stay and keep the romance going for a long weekend. From candlelit dinners to romantic rendezvous around the island, here are five ways to spend time with the one you love while visiting Coronado.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2><b>Keep Up with Each Other at the Annual Valentine’s Day Run</b></h2>
<p>Let the world know you’re taken with a customized bib at the Coronado Valentine’s Day 10k, 5k, and 1-Mile Fun Run. You can sign up for the run as an individual or couple, and choose a bib that represents your current relationship status (<i>Available, It’s Complicated! </i>or <i>I’m Taken</i>). It’s a way to practice a little self-care and self-love (by doing something healthy), and you’ll get to take home a commemorative T-shirt and Valentine’s Day-themed medal to help you celebrate the heart-filled holiday.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2><b>Dine with a View at the Ferry Landing</b> </h2>
<p>Make a reservation for just after sunset and dine amidst the twinkling lights of downtown San Diego, just across the bay. At Candelas on the Bay, you can enjoy the view while dining on delicious Mexican cuisine, while Il Fornaio offers plates of Italian favorites served by candlelight. And if you’d rather have sweets with your sweet, the Ferry Landing also has dessert shops like Coronado Cupcakery and Choco Amore.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2><b>Enjoy Brunch Together (Instead of Dinner)</b> </h2>
<p>A candlelit dinner might get all the glory when it comes to romance, but brunch can be just as special. Not only will you avoid the crowds, you’ll also be able to linger a little longer and spend more of the day together. The <a href="http://crownbistro.com/">Crown Bistro Restaurant</a> is a local favorite with mouthwatering dishes like banana foster French toast, eggs Benedict, and artichoke scrambles. There’s often a line out the door on weekends, but since Valentine’s Day falls on a Wednesday this year, you should be able to be seated and start sipping your mimosa without much of a wait.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2><b>Watch the Sunset on the Beach</b></h2>
<p>Few things are as romantic as watching the sky change colors as twilight sets in. Grab a warm beverage then take a long walk on the beach just as the sun sets and share a quiet, intimate moment together.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2><b>Embark on a Romantic Cruise for Two</b></h2>
<p>You don’t have to travel all the way to Italy to take a romantic gondola cruise; the <a href="http://www.gondolacompany.com/">Gondola Company</a> can take you around the canals and waterways right here in Coronado. Enjoy a romantic and relaxing cruise through the Coronado Cays and be transported to a world of your own. Special Valentine’s Day cruises will embark on Monday, Tuesday, and of course, Wednesday. Each 50-minute excursion includes a complimentary dessert plate, blankets, an ice bucket, and souvenir wine glasses. Wine bottles are available for purchase or you can choose to bring your own beverage. You can take the romance up a notch by upgrading your trip to include a professional mandolin or violin player to serenade you as you sail. </p>

<p> </p>Best 2016 Honeymoon Location for Budget Brides 2016-02-09T21:43:26+00:00raindrop/blog/author/raindrop/https://coronadoinn.com/blog/best-2016-honeymoon-location-for-budget-brides/<p>You may not know it yet, but your honeymoon is going to be the favorite part of your wedding experience. While the Champaign toasts, cake cutting, and dancing all night are lovely, the entire wedding experience can be a little overwhelming and definitely stressful.</p>
<p>Which is why we created the honeymoon.</p>
<p>This is your chance to actually spend time with your new husband or wife. The stress of your big day melts away. The excitement of your new life sets in. Overall, it’s a beautiful thing.</p>
<p>You should celebrate it in a beautiful place!</p>
<p>Here are three reasons why we at the Coronado Inn believe that Coronado is exactly what you are looking forward to after your nuptials.</p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<h2><b>Historic and Romantic Ambience</b></h2>
<p>From the iconic Hotel del Coronado to the historical homes, Coronado’s rich history creates a charming and romantic atmosphere. The small-town pace causes you to slow down and appreciate the details.</p>
<p>For really digging in and appreciating the finer details, we recommend touring the Hotel del Coronado and <a href="http://coronadowalkingtour.com">Coronado Historical Walking Tour</a>. They will showcase the beauty of our history as well as highlighting the best architecture on the island.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2><b>Activities</b></h2>
<p>Just because the island has a rich history doesn’t it means that there isn’t anything to spend your time on. In reality, we have countless activities for young love birds!<b> </b></p>
<p>To continue the romantic ambience, choose a Gondola ride. You’ll feel transported to Italy as you travel through the canals in the Cays. </p>
<p>For the adrenaline junkie, check out our water sports. Between kayaking, surfing, and jet skiing, we’re confident you’ll enjoy that instantaneous rush once you hit the water.</p>
<p>Looking for something in the middle? Then we invite you to tour the island by bike. Taking a tour of the island with a breeze running through your hair is hard to beat. </p>
<p>To see all the activities, <a href="/blog/tandem-bike-riding-and-other-romantic-coronado-activities/">check out our guide to romantic activities</a>.</p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<h2><b>Delicious Dining</b></h2>
<p>You can’t have a good getaway without fine dining. Especially when it is your honeymoon. Lucky for you, Coronado has decadent dining options. </p>
<p>While as a budget bride you might not be able to splurge every night, you should enjoy fine dining at least one evening. We recommend the Blue Water Boathouse or Primavera Ristorante. </p>
<p>Don’t worry. Just because you won’t be able to spree every night, doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice flavor. We have great budget-friendly restaurants with robust flavor. Start your dining with our <a href="/blog/the-search-for-the-best-fish-taco-in-coronado/">scrumptious fish tacos</a>. </p>
<p><b> </b></p>

Here are three key considerations:</p>
<h2><b>Transportation</b></h2>
<p>Most of the time, you will arrive to your wedding destination by plane. While this can appear slightly glamorous, it poses a logistical challenge: transportation during your stay. This has many implications for you, the bridal party and the guests.</p>
<p>Ideally, try to choose a venue near the hotel with basic amenities within walking distance. This will limit the need for guests to rent a car, which can be costly. For Coronado, there are apps like Uber, Lyft and Sidecar that make getting a ride from the airport to the hotel easy and affordable. Once on the island, everything is within walking distance.</p>
<p>The bridal family may want to consider renting a car for quick errands, bringing supplies to the reception or to have as the getaway vehicle (that is, unless you decide on a little more <a href="/blog/3-dramatic-coronado-style-exits-for-your-wedding/" target="_blank"><span>extravagant exit</span></a>).</p>
<h2><b>Wedding or Day of Planner</b></h2>
<p>Unless your particular destination is like a second home, you are going to want some professional assistance. Having a local wedding planner will prove invaluable as you navigate selecting vendors and handle other logistics. Many times they have good standing relationships with vendors and can help you negotiate a good price. </p>
<h2><b>Fridge & Kitchen Access</b></h2>
<p>If you are like most brides, you’re watching what you eat before the big day. While doable, it’s incredibly hard to be mindful about your food choices while continually eating at restaurants and grabbing fast food. It’s also very easy to give in to stress eating. The same goes for many members of your family and bridal party. Choosing lodging with kitchen access provides more affordable options as well as lets you continue to eat healthy. </p>
<h2><b>Conclusion</b></h2>
<p>Coronado is a magical destination for your special day. If you are looking for a centrally located venue with kitchen access, then consider the <a href="/rooms/" target="_blank">Coronado Inn</a>. We provide affordable lodging with all the amenities of home, which will allow you to focus on what matters: getting married.</p>3 Dramatic Coronado Style Exits for Your Wedding2015-01-12T19:46:43+00:00raindrop/blog/author/raindrop/https://coronadoinn.com/blog/3-dramatic-coronado-style-exits-for-your-wedding/<p>Either from your ceremony or as you bid final goodbyes at your reception, you will want to exit in style. While a limo is always an option, take advantage of one of these unique Coronado getaway vehicles.</p>
<h2><b>Gondola Ride</b></h2>
<p>The <a href="http://www.gondolacompany.com" target="_blank">ultimate romantic getaway</a>, you will feel like you were transported to Venice as you glide away from your reception. If you are looking for a little time to relax and enjoy the final moments of your wedding day before retiring, take advantage of an enchanting tour through the canals of Coronado. Make sure to pack a few beverages and appetizers to enjoy if you choose to enjoy the tour. </p>
<h2><b>Beach Buggy</b></h2>
<p>Few things could be more iconic of an island affair than a <a href="http://coronadotours.com" target="_blank">beach buggy</a>! Enjoy the warm night air and island decorations as you head out. If you are worried about guests making it home safely after your event, consider hiring them for the entire party. Shuttling guests to and from the hotel makes for easy traveling.</p>
<h2><b>Jet Boat</b></h2>
<p>Any husband would be more than stoked to rev those engines as you speed off from your reception. What a memorable exit! In fact there are multiple different options, not just a jet boat, to rent in Coronado. <a href="http://seaforthboatrental.com/index.php/coronado.html" target="_blank">More info here</a>. </p>
<p><b style="">Conclusion</b></p>
<p>Coronado is a magical destination for your wedding, and your exit should have the same flair.</p>
<p>If you are looking to skip providing transportation for the guests, consider a local hotel. The Coronado Inn is central to all the top reception venues in Coronado. In many cases it’s easy walking distance, making sure everyone gets home safely. </p>Guide to a Romantic Coronado Honeymoon2014-12-31T17:50:14+00:00raindrop/blog/author/raindrop/https://coronadoinn.com/blog/guide-to-a-romantic-coronado-honeymoon/<p>You've just pulled off the largest event of your life, running off into the sunset with your prince charming.
