Honeymoon at CSR - room request?

[disneymoon0606]

Hi everyone! My DFi has suggested that we stay at CSR our final three nights of our honeymoon in June. Is there a particular building or room we should request? I want a building where we won't have to walk too far to get to the bus (yes, I understand that there is some sort of internal shuttle system, but I would prefer not to have to use it). Any advice would be much appreciated.

Also, is there any major reason we shouldn't go here for our honeymoon? We were considering WL, and I know it would be really nice, but when we think about how our time will be spent, I know we will be at the parks most of the time.

Thanks!

There are four bus stops throughout the resort so each section is close to one.

That being said, what do you like better? The city feel of the casitas, the rustic approach of the ranchos or the laid back atmosphere of the cabanas?

We've only been to CSR once and we were in the cabanas. We loved the cabanas.

We stayed in Casitas 4, which was very close to one of the bus stops. I thought it was very nice, but you might prefer the Ranchos or Cabanas.

Here's the map of the resort:

We have stayed in Ranchos and Casitas and loved Casitas 4! Highly recommend!

Cabana 9b is close to bus stop 1 and the main building with a short walk to the Dig Site over the wooden bridge. Most convenient, most preferred.

Cabana 8a is close to the Dig Site and bus stop 4 with a short walk to the main building.

cabana 8b and 9a are inbetween the 2 above. 9a has a quiet pool and is also a smoking optional building.

Ranchos 7b has a quiet pool, is close to the Dig Site and bus stop 4 with a bit longer walk to the main building. 7b is behind cabana 8a.

The casitas are close to the gym, spa and have great fountains and courtyards. casita 5 is close to the Dig Site with a good walk to the main building. The lower the casita number the closer towards the main building. Casta 4 has a quiet pool.

Spa? There's a spa at the resort? Can anyone tell me more about this?

Yes, there is a health club/spa in the Casitas building area. The health club is near the Casita quiet pool. I only went in and did a quick set on the elliptical machine, but I did see rooms marked "Massage room #1" and such like that.

We stayed in Cabana 8B. The walk was not bad, and the nice thing about the Cabanas is that it has the feel of being on a beach, complete with white sand and couple-sized hammoks on the lake side of the walking paths. It is right next to one of the quiet pools, which really are quiet, we only saw people in it once, so it would be like having a pool to yourselves. The Dig Site pool is also very romantic at night, and is huge, so even if there are other people using it, you can find your own quiet spot. Not to mention the whirlpool, in the pool area, but hidden from the view of the pool. A late night stroll around the lake to El Centro to fill up your souvenier mugs before 11 p.m., complete with lingering on lit bridges, and then cuddling in a hammock to look at the stars...ah, very romantic! You may even see a bunny or two hopping around, we saw some every day!

I am sure Ranchos and Casitas have their charm too, we just didn't get a chance to experience those areas.

Oh, and we had requested 9B, but got 8B. Just so you know you don't always get what you ask for, but the resort is beautiful everywhere.

Also, we stayed at WL our first visit to WDW, and thought there would be no way we would be satisfied anywhere else. We still love WL, but now love CSR too. Not sure what we will do next time, maybe a split? Well, we have 26 months to think about it
