My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon a few days ago. We stayed at CSR for the first time from September 24th through October 3rd. We both really enjoyed the resort. First of all, it was beautiful! We loved our room and the view. We payed for a king bed preferred and were placed in Casitas 3. Our view was amazing. We were on the bottom floor facing towards the lake. I remember waking up early the first morning and going out to watch the sunrise. It was just so breathtaking.
The CMs were very nice. Daniel who checked us in was polite and funny. It wasn't noted on the reservation that we were on our honeymoon, but when Daniel found out he went and got us some congratulatory balloons and some Happily Ever After pins. He also gave us a certificate for a free champagne toast. The maids always did a good job of cleaning our room and providing more toiletries. We only got one towel creation during our stay though, but that's okay.
We both enjoyed Pepper Market and Cafe Rix. We only ate at Pepper Market once though because we weren't at the hotel for meals much. I had the chicken quesadilla and my husband had the steak ranchero. They were both huge portions and really good. Cafe Rix had a nice selection of grab-and-go foods. We got breakfast and snacks there a few times. We didn't get to try out Maya Grill or the Rix Lounge, but some of the margaritas from Rix Lounge looked interesting and delicious.
The pool was nice. We only swam there once at night, but it was a really nice pool. I loved the scenery. The temple was so cool all lit up at night. We never had any trouble with the buses. We were close to bus stop 2. I don't recall waiting any more than 10 minutes for a bus anywhere. It was definitely good to use bus stop 2 because the buses got kind of full a few times before we made it around to bus stop 1.
This was my first time staying at a moderate. I've stayed at All Star Music before. And this was my husband's first time staying on disney property. The resort was beautiful and I've got no complaints about it. The only thing I minded was the proximity to all the parks. I think my ideal location would be the Boardwalk because Epcot and Hollywood Studios are my favorite parks. However, I would have to pay for a deluxe. I think CSR is a great resort if you want to save some money but still have beautiful scenery, good food, and friendly service.
I'm not changing though. It looks like they'll only be there for three nights/four partial days. If they are tied up two full days, then that only leaves two partial days we'd have to deal with them.
They spent all day in bed on Sat. but at least the timing was good since we had very heavy rain all day. I will say though, when you stay in the room all day it does start to seem very small.
They were both feeling better on Sun. So we carried on as usual.
