SAN DIEGO (Feb. 4, 2010) Parents magazine today announced the results of an exclusive survey to identify the 10 Best Beach Resorts for Families in the U.S. and Caribbean, and Loews Coronado Bay Resort in San Diego proudly made the list. To determine the award recipients, Parents magazine asked family travel agents and tourism boards to nominate resorts in the United States and the Caribbean that are right on the beach but light on the credit card. From more than 75 contenders, Parents then narrowed the field by evaluating the range of family activities, the quality and uniqueness of the supervised children’s program, and the overall value for your money. Ranked #6 Loews Coronado Bay Resort in San Diego Educational beach explorations, an interactive “Adopt-a-Tomato” children’s menu and free family activities, such as pizza-making workshops and bayside marshmallow roasts, are just some of the reasons Loews Coronado Bay Resort was the only hotel on the West Coast to make the list. The hotel’s Pottery Barn Kids’ Club was also recognized for its innovative activities, including GPS-led scavenger hunts, rocket experiments and Harry Potter magic tricks. A destination within a destination, Loews Coronado Bay Resort’s private 15-acre peninsula provides the ideal setting for families. On-site amenities include three swimming pools, four restaurants and lounges, basketball and tennis courts, a private 80-slip marina and direct access to the Silver Strand State Beach. “Loews takes the job of entertaining traveling families seriously, which makes this recognition especially rewarding for us,” said Kathleen Cochran, general manager of Loews Coronado Bay Resort. “We’d like to celebrate with our San Diego neighbors and will offer special rates and packages for the spring and summer breaks.” For more information on Loews Coronado Bay Resort, please contact Loews Hotels at 800-81-LOEWS or visit www.loewshotels.com/coronadobay.
