Right not going to do a full report basically because I don't know how and forgot exactly what was done when. What I will be doing is giving our views on the different aspects of the holiday along with some dining reviews with pictures. I apologize in advance for the quality of the food pics, I was most often in too much of a rush and just too hungry to alter the settings on the camera beforehand
Anyway to start off:
Flights (Virgin)
Both actual flights were great with the exception of the food which was awful. On the way out we used online check in the night beforehand and everything went smoothly, we got the seats we pre allocated which were in the bubble so that was great. The IFL was OK but a bit archaic compared to what was on our continental flight in March. As for the food, for me it was chicken Byriani which sounded great but was by far the worst plane food I ever had, the chicken was just disgusting. Nikki had the vegitarian option of some sort of spinach and ricotta pasta which was ok but pretty bland.
The service in PE was great and the flight itself was a bit shorter than scheduled so happy days.
On our return flight we checked in at DTD on the morning which again was great, we got row 61 J and K which again is what we wanted as its 2 together at the back of the plane. I had Beef and Mash, the other option was a chicken korma but after the last experience with the chicken opted against it. The beef was tough and the banana and custard desert was just weird. Again Nikki had some sort of vegitarian pasta which once again was a bit bland (luckily we had an Earl of Sandwich each as we had to use up our last CS credits).
The flight was short though and we got in an hour ahead of schedule, neither of us got a wink of sleep though but we can't blame the airline for that now. One complaint though is they had run out of pretty much all soft drinks and beer 3 hours into the flight which isn't great really.
Hotel (Coronado Springs)
All in all we loved the hotel, check in was great, we didn't get the room in Casitas 4 or 5 that we had requested but really liked the room in Cabanas 9 we had. The room was spacious especially for just 2 of us and was just yards from the quiet pool.
The buses on the whole from the resort were great, sometimes they would be nearly full by the time we got to our closest stop as it was the last pickup but they were relatively frequent and don't think we ever waited more than 20 mins. The worst thing about the waiting was the love bugs that seemed to like to hang around near bus stops.
The resort itself is beautiful especially the view across the lagoon at night, we took a picture but it doesn't really show it off properly:
The Pepper Market was great but I'll go into that in a later post, and we enjoyed the shop as well, that is until we decided it would be fun to buy a Vinylmation each, 9 and around $100 later we decided we may be slightly addicted and it would be best to stop there
We'd both definitely recommend the hotel to anyone and would return anytime given the chance.
I wont bore you any further for now and will hopefully get onto the Dining reviews tomorrow
