Cabanas 8A - Very close to main pool and bus stop. No view of parking lot.

We liked Casita 4. Easy to bus, quick walk to food court. Our room faced the parking lot but it was actually very quiet. Quiet pool was close too.

If you want to be closest to the main pool, Cabanas 8A, if you want to be near the first pick up/drop off bus stop then casitas 4. Ranchos is closest of all to the main pool, but is such a long walk from the main building with dining and shops, that I wouldn't recommend it to most people. That said, Ranchos has awesome theming and is very quiet. My personal favourite for a standard room is Casitas 4. It is close to a quiet pool, beauty salon/ spa, 'first' bus stop (#2) and isn't very far from El Centro or from the themed pool. My fav preferred building is casitas 3 and I love the Business class building 9A.

This resort is truly beautiful at night, especially at sunset! I don't usually recommend paying extra money for a view at a moderate, and i have had a parking lot view here that wasn't bad at all, but the water view we had in casitas 4 was wonderful! The food was really good in both TS and QS when we were here. I love taking time to enjoy the great pool (and huge hot tub) here as well. Rooms are very comfortable. WE have stayed at CSR many times and enjoyed every stay.

thank you !

Depends on when you're staying at CSR. The Casitas leisure pool, fitness center and salon/spa, which are located at Casitas 4, are closed from July to October 12th for refurb. No pool, and possibility of construction noise.

The ranchos section was my family's favorite section. We were close to the pool, second bus stop, and we loved the theming of this area. I can't wait to go back.

OK now we can request Casita 4 or Rancho 4A
It will give the guest services more options to place us in a room.

We do not use the pool much.
We are 4 adults (all over the age of 18), DH, DW, DS, DD
Every time we go to WDW we stay 7 to 10 days and only use the pool twice.

We just like to be close to a bus stop.
Our other option is a BWV studio rental

Let the price wars begin
As of today -> 8-6-15
For May 1, 2016 for 1 night both would require us to bring a blow up air mattress since our DD & DS do not sleep together .....
CSR standard room for 1 night is $227 plus tax (with no discounts)
A BWV studio rental for 1 night is $224 (but can not cancel once contract is accepted)
A major treat, doubt we could afford it, would be a POLY studio villa rental, same date as above for 1 night is $336, but we would get a pull down bed for DD and 2 showers - Worth another $110 a night? - doubt it - and again the contract constraint

We are planning days around May 1 to May 15
Time to research best prices !

We also eat OOP and breakfast in our room.

I just stayed in Ranchos 6A and it was a perfect location. Far enough away from the lobby area to be more quiet, close enough to the main pool, and close enough to the bus stop. I like the look of the Casitas area better with all the fountains but prefer to stay in the quieter Ranchos section.

We LOVE cabanas 8A. It's right across from the dig site pool and bus stop is right there. It's only a short walk to main building too

On our one and only stay there we booked a standard but were upgraded to Casitas 3 overlooking the fountain courtyard. Very nice and quiet location, and short walk both to the main building and the bus stop behind Casitas 4.

I just put in a request for a Cabanas upper floor. Fingers crossed!
