We stayed at CSR Nov. 29 - Dec. 9 and had the opposite experience. We felt like we were staying at a deserted resort. We would get back to the resort between 10pm - 12 am and the path ways would be deserted. My son was kind of creeped out walking along them at night time by ourselves. I never heard any noise, not even my neighbours. I remember last year when we stayed at All Star Sports we could hear the the toilets flush from the room next to us and there were always people about no matter the time. But that doesn't bother me as we use to live in an apartment building right next door to a play ground so I pretty much learned to block out any unwanted noise.
Both my son and I were impressed by the theming of the Maya Grill. It's a very beautiful restaurant. And for those of you on the dinig plan, Maya Grill is one of the few places that kids can get steak in a kid's meal. My son was thrilled about that! We didn't eat at the Pepper Market so I can't comment about that but as I said in a earlier post, I was impressed about the Rix Cafe.
Sorry your experience wasn't so magical. Any negative experiences I had at Disney (resort or theme park) was caused by a guest, not by Disney. Its too bad people can't be more respectful of others so everyone can have a magical time.
I was there at the same time (11/30-12/8) and it was deserted, but that is not a bad thing by any means. We had only wonderful experiences there and would stay there again in a heartbeat. The resort is beautiful and very peaceful and relaxing. There were bunnies all over the place when we got back at night and my kids loved that. We ate at Pepper market only once for a late dinner and the food was delicious! We stayed in Casitas 3 on the third floor and had a water view. We were in a corner room and the view was slightly obstructed, but it was still beautiful in the early morning hours. When we arrived we had two towel animals, but nothing else the rest of the week, but mousekeeping was great and our room was always very clean and the kids toys were on the right beds
I never would have been able to afford to stay there if it weren't for our CM friend getting us such a great discount, and I am so grateful to him for that because we had one of the best vacations we ever had...not to mention not a drop of rain and beautiful, cooler weather the whole week.
