Adults-only split stay; CBR vs. CSR?

[roxiepenguin]

Looking for some input on a 10-day split stay in September, specifically for the first half of the trip. Deciding between AoA, CBR, CSR and POFQ. (We've stayed at AoA and POFQ before, so that's sort of a been-there done that, but will be doing Beach Club for the 2nd half of the trip, so we're already adding in that as a new hotel we haven't tried yet.) I guess it comes down to CBR or CSR for the first 5 days... which pool(s) do you like best... food options, etc? Thanks!!

CBR was our first stay at WDW so I have a little bit of bias. The rooms are bigger and it is very colorful. But we like loved the new rooms at Coronado. While the new paint job is much less colorful the rooms feel more upscale. The pools are kind of similar to me. Both main pools are cool but crowded. I loke the pyramid better at CSR. The quiet pools are fine at both. I haven’t tried the new food courts at either resort.

For adults, CSR pool. Also, we stayed in the old business class rooms a few years back and I thought it was a really good value for the money- location plus snacks. (Especially during a free dining promo) Now that the new club level rooms are open, I would probably book on of those rooms. At any rate I would at least get a preferred room.

CSR is my favorite of the moderates, I like the look of it and I like the food choices. They both have the quiet pools, both have hot tubs and bars at the main pool. Since CSR is a convention resort, it has a more adult feel to me.
