We will be staying there in about 3 wks. Aug 3-8th!!! Cant wait to go and see the beautiful resort.

I have a quick question, - what type of service do you get from housekeeping? What is provided. I read the that rooms come with coffeemaker, hairdryer and fridge- What else is provided each day? Shampoo, conditioner, soap, coffee mugs????

Anyone know?

Yes, coffee w/ packets including stirrers, sugar, and spoons, mugs are changed daily, you can ask for more coffee too. The shampoo, and soap are also given out daily. Have a great trip!

This was our first stay at CSR, thanks to everyone on this board who gave us info. before we went. It was everything everyone described.

The resort is absolutely beautiful and I especially liked that the pool was not as crowded as other resorts we've stayed at. Most likely because it is a convention resort-DH was at one of the conventions being held there.

We arrived around 10:45am so we were prepared for our room not being ready. We had lunch in the PepperMarket, then headed to the big pool to relax. We had been up since 3:45am so we were ready to relax.

Around 2-2:30 I called the number to see if our room was ready and was told it wasn't ready, I guess I sighed or something because the CM noticed my frustration. I apologized to her and said I wasnt' complaining because I knew official check in really wasn't until 3, but that we had been up since 3:45am and we were really tired and wanted to lay down for a while. She suggested we go to the front desk and ask if the same type of room in the building we were assigned to was available. So I did that, I didn't complain just simply explained what the CM said on the phone. They called a manager over and she found a room for us and in the process upgraded us to a waterview room. I wish I had written down the name of the CM, so I could send her a thank you note becuase it really made our day.

We were in the Casitas,our room was very nice, spacious and very clean. The location was perfect, 3 min. to the main building, the small pool and laundry were right next to our building. We couldn't have asked for a better location.

Our only dissapointment about this resort was the PepperMarket. I know many people really like it, but it just wasn't for us. I understand that they are catering to the convention clients so they are trying to make the food court a bit more upscale. But for my family, it just didn't work. We felt the prices were quite high compared with our last stay at the CBR (2004) and the sitting area seemed a bit small. And they charge 10% gratuity. We ended up doing take out for breakfast every day to avoid the 10%. The PepperMarket wasn't a surprise becuase I read about it in my planning guides and had read about it here on the DIS Boards.

Overall our trip was excellent. DH had a good conference and DD and I were able to see and do everything we wanted to. We're looking forward to our next trip to WDW.
