Just back, had a wonderful time. This was our first stay at CSR, we stayed in Cabana 9B room 9650. CSR is a beautiful resort, we can not say enough about the beauty of this resort. I loved that you could sit in one spot and see all of the pool, this was good for me so that I could see DS swimming all the time, at CBR you can't see every spot of the main pool and you have to get up and look around. (IMO)
My only request was that we not be put around the convention area, when we got there that is were our room was. AAA had made all reservations for us and the information was on all of our paperwork. CM told me this was all that was available, and that we could be put on a list to have our room changed on a later date, I did not want to deal with the hassle of changing our room so I said forget it. DH said next time we go back to CBR, CM did not seem to care. DH went to get our ADR's and I went to find a manager. The manager took care of everything for us, and gave us an upgrade to our room. All I said to her was that we were disappointed with our room location, and she looked into it for us and made the change, we had never gone to the original room.
We did have a problem with smoking, Cabanas 9B is a non-smoking area, but people were still smoking outside the rooms we would have to walk by them, this was not the resorts fault, a couple of times when we returned to our room it would smell like smoke, non-smoking signs are on the doors, but they did not seem to stop people from smoking on the walkways. There were even cigarette butts on the 2nd floor walk way.
Now for all the positive. DS loved going out and laying on the Hammock outside our room and I could see him from our window, thanks to the upgrade. Bus stop 1 was a very short walk for us, we also had a short walk to main pool and main building. We loved walking around the resort, and just taking in all the beauty.
Let me know if you have any questions and I will try to answer them.
Thank you everyone who has given information, we felt like we had been here before.
By the way our thermostat would not go below 70, DH had it set for hold 65, I like to be cold when I sleep, but it never went below 70. There was a ceiling fan in our room that I kept on high all the time. We never did ask about the Air conditioner.
CSR is a great place to stay.
