Coronado Fans-PLEASE POST WITH REVIEWS & RECENT PHOTOS!

[tofubeast]

The new club rooms are gorgeous. I really hope some of those features make it to the "regular" room...especially the bedding! I think the furniture etc gives the room a more modern look, but still with a touch of SouthWest/Mexico. Good job CSR!

are there any king bed rooms in the casitas section? I purchased a room with a king and would like to fax in a request to stay in casitas. Is that possible?

Yes there are (we had one in September--although we were in a junior suite, they are just adjoining rooms).

There are 124 king rooms spread out all over the resort and CSR is adding 100 more for a new total of 224.

Just got back late last Saturday night. It has been a busy week and I'm finally getting caught up here.

I can't say thank you enough to everyone here for the wonderful information that helped us decide to upgrade to CSR. It was the best decision we ever made. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED CSR. As DD20 said several times, we can't stay anywhere else from now on. That’s was a unanimous vote.

So much to say… I don't know where to start. I’m probably going to blah blah but we had that good of a time. Please forgive me.

We didn't have a single complaint about anything anywhere. We were upgraded from a standard view room to a water view room. We were in Casitas 1 Room 1280. It was an absolutely perfect location for us. We didn't make any requests as we were not particular where we stayed as long as we were there and we didn't go with any expectations and was excited when we were treated special. The queen beds were so comfy. Mousekeeping was great. The resort was absolutely beautiful and the atmosphere was so relaxing. I'm having a hard time coming back to reality and the real world. None of us wanted to leave.

Oh, the Pepper Market. The food was wonderful and plenty. We had DDP and ate there twice. All the desserts were available with the counter service credit. We were usually so full that we hardly ever thought about our snack credits. We dined in both times and the 10% tip was never included on our bill and we didn’t have to say anything about it. The servers were very nice and accommodating. Back to the food. You know us Cajuns like to eat good food. OMG, it was a lot and really delicious. Between the four of us we were able to try several things and found nothing that we didn't like. DS15 absolutely loved the bourbon chicken so much he ate it twice and wanted to go back for one more shot at it. DH even began feeling better the day before we left. He was able to eat and had no problems the whole week.

We were located in between Bus Stop 1 and 2. It was a little longer walk to Bus Stop 2, but we never had a problem with getting to sit down and the stroll to the Bus Stop was always nice. We'd walk to Bus Stop 2 to go to the parks, and get off at Bus Stop 1 when we came back for a shorter walk. We never waited long for a bus anywhere and only had to stand a couple of times. The longest we waited was about 10 minutes, but we went to Bus Stop 1 to go to the parks and the bus was pretty much full when it arrived. So we had to wait for a second bus and it was completely empty when it arrived.

DH and I’s date was great. …stroll around the lake of course I was taking pictures…a little pampering….a couple drinks in the bar. We really enjoyed it. It was the start of a great week.

How could I forget the decorations. When we arrived, the resort was not decorated. Then one morning everything was there. It was absolutely beautiful.

Considering this was our Almost Wasn’t Vacation (sounds like a good title for a TR) ……. it surely was a spectacular one. I will post some pics soon. Again we thank each of you for helping plan the best just us family vacation.

 

[bayoumama2]

Oh forgot to say that while at WDW DH came up with the idea that the two of us should return for our anniversary in April. Caught him already researching dates on the computer. Maybe another trip to CSR in the spring is on the horizon.

Thank you for the great trip report. So glad we have another CSR lover among us.

Oh forgot to say that while at WDW DH came up with the idea that the two of us should return for our anniversary in April. Caught him already researching dates on the computer. Maybe another trip to CSR in the spring is on the horizon.

DH and I celebrated our 25th anniversary at the CSR this past September. He had offered me Poly if I wanted it. I told him NO--I want my CSR! Your DH is a smart man!

 

[bayoumama2]

KatMart yeah he has his smart moments. I'm glad this is one of them. You see we have never had a real honeymoon and it would be our 21st anniversary. So to want to go back just him and I confirms that he loved being at CSR and WDW. I think everyone in the family wants to be back there right now.

DS515 asked me today if I missed being there. Of course, I said yes. He says me to. Me too. Little things like that let me know that they really enjoyed the trip as much as me.

We had one problem and they took care of it. DD20 bought her BF a beer mug in Germany and had it delivered to CSR. Of course, this was the second mug because the first was engraved wrong. We picked up her package and when we opened the box the mug is broken in half. The CM had a runner go pickup another one with engraving and it was waiting at package pickup for her. They were very accommodating. She was impressed. Third mug was a charm. Just a small bump in the road.

Okay you only have to go to Buzz2001's site to see how beautiful the place is. Yes it is beautiful. Yes The pool is magnificent! Yes it is as close to a deluxe you can get without paying the deluxe prices, and yes the bus service is quick easily accessible. But I have a comment that makes CSR even more wonderful.

My son's appendix ruptured while we were there. We had only been in Disney for 2 days. The staff at the CSR were as close to family as we could have asked for being so far from home. The staff gave us rides to the hospital so that we didn't have to pay for a cab. They did that out of kindness it was not required of them. We had a beautiful get well message with balloons and gifts for our family one day when we returned from the hospital. The cleaning staff checked on our sons progress daily. Unfortunately we needed to leave the resort and move closer to the hospital. But I must say that the kindness the staff at CSR showed our family was above and beyond. It was nice to have so many caring faces during a time that was horrible for us!

Thank you for sharing this with us. I remember your original report. I would expec all of the resorts to do that, but so glad that our home away from home, CSR, came through for you. Hope your son is doing well and fully recovered now.
