We stayed at CS this past Dec 27 to Dec 29 and it was awesome! I have only stayed at SOG on resort before and that was when I was much younger so I had no opinions then LoL
I love CS, we just booked a trip for May 22-29 at Pop Century but now thinking about upgrading if we can to CS again. We didn't get to really see all CS because we spent the most time at parks while there.
We stayed in Castitas 5, 4 would have been perfect since it was the closest to our bus stop (station 2) which 9 out of 10 times was the 1st stop coming back from the parks and often the 1st stop in the morning routes as well. If we change to CS I hope to get C4 or C5 again since it was great and the walk to the main building wasn't bad at all.
We loved having Rix Cafe there in the mornings for breakfast, we would stop in and eat outside, beautiful weather as well. We ate at Pepper Market for dinner and I liked the layout. I have seen alot of complaints about the set up, having to go station to station to find foods, but it wasn't bad. It's all labled and the staff was great and helpful.
The Maya Grill was ok, we had sit down (buffet breakfast) and a sit down (dinner) and the breakfast was decent but the dinner I wasn't to impressed with. We had 6:45 reservations and didn't get seated until 7:15 and then did not leave until almost 10. We barely made it to DHS for the Osborne lights, they did let us in though. The meal took near 3 hours and for the prices, lets just say I am glad we had the
DDP! I wouldn't have paid over $100 for the food we had.
We never made it to the dig site and kiddie area, this trip we go on in May is 8 days/7 nights so I am sure we will get to enjoy the resort more.
