Coronado 1937 Shipwreck Visible

Coronado Shipwreck Makes an Appearance

The Monte Carlo, a gambling ship anchored offshore in 1936, was set adrift in a storm on New Years Eve 1936 and ended up on the Coronado beach.  Most of the time it is covered in sand and surf.  But every few years the winter tides and storms reveal the skeleton.    Here’s a great aerial photo  of the hull.

Meetings Made Easy

Small meetings, executive retreats, or team building!

Our intimate setting is great for small meetings.  Our conference room seats up to 28, plus we have 2 breakout rooms seating 6-10 people.   Last week we hosted a group of salespeople from a major pharmaceutical company.  To quote one of the attendees, “I usually hate these business meetings but this setting was great.  I’ll be back for a pleasure trip!”  Not only is breakfast provided free, we can provide refreshments for breaks, lunch, or dinner on site.  Our 5:00 – 6:00 PM wine and cheese awaits you after a long day of meetings.  The parlor, dining room, and back veranda are all available for meals or receptions.  Desks in the rooms and suites, free WIFI, and a teleconferencing phone help ensure you can take care of business with ease.

Sunny and 70 degrees on December 18th!

The weather outside is frightful, frightfully beautiful!

After a few days of rain last week, this week has turned into postcard weather for sunny southern California.  Our winter garden is hardly dormant, with the first fruit on our citrus trees ripening nicely.  The camillias are covered with buds, the begonias loved the rain, and the exotic ginger plants are very happy!
