Had a very enjoyable time at this resort. I was definitely swayed by Buzz and many other Disers who suggested this resort...So to all of you thank you thank you for persuading me to try CSR. Will report in full on trip report but to summarize....
we were in Cabanas 8A. I wanted 9B but this was okay. Personally though I would not want to stay any further from main bldg.
We had room 8223 which was a corner room. This is probably the worst room on floor because even though we had a water view, the view was completely hindered by the blinds in corner. Wasn't so bad because the moderates have no balconies so you really can't sit outside and enjoy the view. Rooms were nice and clean. Beds were adequate. I was happy to see they had a curtain between main room and bathroom. This made it so much easier each morning. Especially since I had two 16 yr old boys with me. Thought the water pressure in shower was a little light, but nothing so serious to even complain. I did like the fact that you had a big area to put toiletries in the tub area.
We only had a 5 minute walk to main pool or building. Hammocks were always empty to sit upon. I found the carts to take people from one location to another were always running. Pool was crowded but absolutely okay. We got a seat both times.
Jury still out for me on the Pepper Market. We were on the dining plan so DH got steak which he really liked. I got chinese which was just okay. The pastas and pizzas looked inedible so we moved on.
Breakfast was a much better choice. Omelets were made to order so much better. If I had to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10....with dining plan a 6, without dining plan a 4.
My favorite spot in CSR was Sanfriscos(god I hope this is right) It is the bar in the main building. What a wonderful bar. The bartenders there make a mean martini and their margaritas are the best I have ever ever had on any WDW property. You get complimentary chips and homemade fresh salsa. Bartenders extremely nice,helpful and fun to talk to. One night we went to the bar and ordered appetizers for dinner with a drink. It was such an enjoyable nite for DH & I. If you do not prefer to sit at the bar there are several tables and chairs surrounding the bar . Even if I don't spend my next trip at CSR I will still go back to this bar that is how much I enjoyed it.
Buzz: wondering if you enjoy it there as well.
Transportation was good. No problem with buses. We were bus stop #4 but got off at bus stop #1 and just hoofed it
Any questions, please ask.,,,,hope I can help
I do prefer this resort to POR and POFQ where I have also stayed
