I just got back from a quick three night stay at CSR. After typically staying at the deluxe resorts I was somewhat apprehensive about the stay, but the all in all I had a great experience.
When we pulled in to the resort I immediately liked the look the the resort, however the way the check in process was a little frustrating. Rather than pulling your car right up to the front to have the valets unload you are instructed to park the car in the parking lot....I didn't understand why this was their policy, as it created a lot of walking back and forth in the RAIN.
We ran into our first real "issue" at the check in counter. We had paid extra to insure that we would receive a king size bed...however we were told that our room was in fact NOT A KING. I tried to explain to the cast member that we paid extra for our room...however she insisted that their were NO KING'S available.
I was starting to get frustrated and promptly asked to speak to a manager. I don't recall the managers name, but she was FABULOUS! (She was a nice caucasian woman with short brown hair). The manager quickly fixed the problem and our KING room.. which we had in fact paid for magically appeared.
... Since the problem ended up being resolved I would rate the check in process as a.... B
The room itself was pretty much how I excepted it to be. I would say the room could compare to a Holiday Inn or Embassy Suite in quality.The room was extremely clean and the bathroom was nice and large. The best thing about the room was the comfy bed and pillows....Ultra nice after a long day of walking. Overall I would rate the room as an.... A+
Most of our meals came from the Pepper Market. The food at the Pepper Market was SUPER delicious. For breakfast I usually got the kids meal with scrambled eggs and mickey waffles, but everything else looked really good too. I wanted to try one of there Breakfast burritos but they were HUGE...and would have been way to much for me. I also tried a margarita pizza...which they cook to order and it was OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD.
The only thing that I didn't like about the Pepper Market was the way you can't get your own drink and have to have a waiter...it was kind of a pain as it would be quicker just to get it yourself...but it was no biggie. Overall I would say the quality of the food makes up for the confusing layout and that the Pepper Market should not be missed.... A-
The resort grounds themselves were fabulous. The atmosphere with the lights on the lake is TAKE YOUR BREATHE AWAY pretty. And the pool/hottub area is unique and fun. My only wish was that the pool bar stayed open until the pool closed but it was no biggie. The grounds are def. Deluxe quality and should be considered an...A+
Overall I really enjoyed my stay at CSR and would highly recommend it, even though some of their policies were a little confusing.

The CSR. We stayed at the Carribean Beach and would never stay there again after staying at CSR. EVERYONE goes out of their way to be helpful, the Pepper Market is good and fresh, the beds are conmfortable and the rooms dont look and feel so run down, and Mousekeeping is stellar. If you can get in when there are no confrences, it is like having the WHOLE hotel to yourself! WE LOVE THE CSR!!!
we will be staying at CSR 
for the third time starting July 13
We fell in love with the resort after spending our first (wonderful) trip at the Carribean, we tried somthing different and have always returned to CSR
