We just returned from CSR - 6 nights there and part of it for a conference. The resort grounds are beautiful and we liked Pepper Market for the most part. I requested 9b but we were but in Casita (spelling?) 3 - so we were close to the main bldg - thank goodness! I can't imagine being on the other side of that gigantic lake and having to walk to the Pepper Market with 2 little kids - ugh!
I didn't find that the internal shuttles ran all that often. Most of the ones that passed us were full when we wanted a ride. We rode on them twice in 6 days I think. We also had a waterview room booked and had a very lovely view....of a TREE! I can honestly say you couldn't see a bit of water out the window but you could see a very large leafy tree top! They really shouldn't sell those rooms as water-view. We checked in at 4 a.m. (long story- delayed flight) so I didn't notice until the next morning when we were half-unpacked with stuff all over (we have 2 young kids). I didn't want to move at that point. I shouldn't have to move! Who wants to move? I just wanted what I paid for - that was annoying but I figured if I moved I'd end up at the farthest possible point from the main building
CSR = a nice resort, lovely grounds, great convention center, good food but just too big and not enough shuttle service for us I think!
