Coronado Springs Resort (CSR) was great. Me and my wife stayed there last november, we were in Cabanas 8A which was near the pool, and close to a bus stop. The nice thing about where we were was that we never heard any pool noise. Also me and my wife spent some time in one of the hammocks and that was a nice relaxing time. I also got a picture of the view from the hammock that we lounged in. Have fun on your trip and Enjoy your stay.

Try to get a room in the Casita's or Cabana's as they are closer to El Centro, where the restaurants, shops, arcade, bar are etc etc.

We love CSR. I was skeptical at first (as it is categorized as a "convention hotel"), but now it is one of my fav's. Go to the pool - the slide is great! I would personally pass on the sit-down restaurant, but I have a 7 year old. It was a bit pricey and very steak oriented. The "food court" is not really a food court, and some people love it, and some hate it. (I am in the love it category). You are seated, and then waited on for drinks only - you have to get your own food, and they include tip in your bill. If you need to save some money - do take out instead. The pool bar has passable food too. The resort is BIG - lots of walking, but there are often little carts running around asking if you want a ride. Bus service seems to be pretty good. Have fun!!!! I am jealous!

Pepper market is good. Maya Grill is excellent.

When are you going?

Go to the Resorts board and find the CSR thread. Buzz posts there often and has a CSR website with lots of pictures and tips.

Coronado Springs is gorgeous! There's a lot to see and do, so just make sure to take some time out of your trip to just sit back and relax at the hotel. Just walking around the grounds will amaze you!

CSR is a large resort that does not share services with other resorts and offers some deluxe amenities because it is a convention resort.
*
CSR has a salon, spa, and a gym that other moderates do not offer.* CSR has full menu room service and offers an internal shuttle system provided by golf carts to assist in getting to and from the main building to the villages.*
*
It is also the only mod to offer suites.
*
CSR is situated around a 15 acre lake and CBR is situated around a 45 acre lake.*
*
CSR has terrific transportation. It does not share with any other resort (like POR / POFQ) and it only has 4 bus stops within the resort (vs 8 at CBR).* And since CSR is centrally located, you'll have a quick ride to all the parks.
*
And being a convention resort, the buses seem less crowded because guests are busy with their conventions.
*
CSR is the most central to the 3 parks you mentioned.* See the map below.

CSR has the best pool of the mods and probably the second best on WDW property.* Best mod pool.* It offers a great slide (123 ft long), an arcade, a sand volleyball court, and a playground at the main pool area.

Review from mousesavers.com!!

Coronado Springs is my Best Value choice in the Moderate category. It has several advantages compared with the other Moderate resorts. It is newer, so there has been less wear-and-tear on everything. Also, Coronado Springs is a convention hotel, so it has a few extra amenities not offered at the other Moderates, including a salon, a health club and a more upscale food court.
*
The theming is radically different in the three areas of Coronado Springs. You can request a specific area when booking but there is no guarantee you'll get your request.

• The Spanish-style Casitas at Coronado Springs are very peaceful, with courtyards featuring tiled fountains. Casitas Buildings 1, 3 and 2 (in that order) are the closest to the restaurants and services. Casitas Building 4 contains the salon and health club, if those are important to you.
• The Cabanas at Coronado Springs have a beachy Caribbean feeling. Cabanas Building 8A is very close to the feature pool, which may be a blessing (convenience) or a curse (noise, light). Cabanas Building 9B is closest to the marina and relatively convenient to the restaurants and services.
• The Ranchos at Coronado Springs feel quiet and secluded -- some would say isolated -- and feature desert landscaping and pueblo-style architecture. They look closest to the main pool on a map, but in actuality they are separated from the rest of the property by a swamp, so it can be a fairly long walk from these buildings to the pool, and a very long walk to the restaurants.

We are going to CSR in Sep and I can't wait to get there. I really think I will enjoy it. One thing sI have noticed is that it being a convention place it leaves it quiet diring the day.

I am in the love cat for food courts. I have found the food to be soo good and like full meals> I don't care if I have to get up and walk to get my food.
