Any information about Coronado Beach Resort

[Luanne]

One of the options we have since San Diego Country Estates timeshare is being dissolved, is to move our deed to another Grand Pacific resort. We are interested in possibly moving to Coronado Beach Resort. We have stayed there several times and like the resort and its location, but know nothing about the management, the maintenance fees, taxes, etc. Would appreciate any information.

That is one long-standing resort! I was stationed on a ship homeported at North Island in 1968 and remember going past that building across from the Hotel Del.

Edit: The website says parking is $50/night. Maybe not for owners??

Pros: Location, location, location, owner day use privileges, owners don't pay parking or resort fees, resort is well maintained and well run. Some of the staff has been there for years. There is onsite underground parking, there are bicycles and beach gear available at no cost.

Cons: The MF are somewhat high relative to other resorts (imo) - I am comparing it to my other ownerships - SDO, Quarter House, and Worldmark - but it isn't exorbitant or out of line for the area. The kitchens are efficiencies with a hot plate vs a stove.

You can compare the MF it to the cost of staying at the Glorietta Bay Inn or the El Cordova. I honestly don't recall what our MF are - we own an EOY - but I would say in the range of $1,400-$1,500. Dues are due in July. Property taxes are about $50/year? (We live in SD county so everything is rolled up into one bill).

There are four types of rooms - studios, 1 bedrooms with a door, 1 bedrooms with a curtain instead of a door, and two bedrooms - but one of the bedrooms definitely has a curtain. It has something to do with fire codes. We own a one bedroom with a door. It is a nicely sized unit. Room descriptions

Just on location alone, this is a huge upgrade from SDCE. What weeks are they offering? If not summer, then consider September as the weather is really nice at that time of year.

Feel free to DM me if you want more info.

Btw I don't know what was located on this property before the resort was built, but according to history of Coronado Beach Resort it opened in 1992.

@klpca thanks for all of that information. We currently own two weeks (that how they were sold when we bought) in a one bedroom unit, floating time. MF right now are around$2500/year paid quarterly. When we got the information from SDCE about a possible deed transfer they didn't offer any contact information. I sent them an email asking for a contact, but haven't heard anything. Maybe I should reach out to GPX.

If we continue to hold our ownership at SDCE we can still use the unit, bank the unit until the development is sold. At that point we "might" see some money. They are saying $5000 - $10,000, but who know when, or if, that might happen.

I grew up in Southern California so I am well aware of Gray May and June Gloom.

Parking at the resort? We always found a spot when we've stayed there.
