I luv Coronado Springs Resort! I must admit i haven't been to any other mod, but after staying @ CSR i wouldn't want to stay any where else.
The resort IS large, but i think that just adds to its beauty! My family stayed in the Cabanas.. i believe building 8B and loved the location! Close to the Beach, Pool, Pepper Market, and 1st bus stop. We were given a free upgrade to water veiw upon check in which was a nice suprise. Also, we were in a second floor corner room and it was VERY quiet.
The Pepper Market is also different, but im my opinion makes it more like a sit-down meal instead of a food court. This might be a disadvantage to some, however; i luved the atmosphere! A total departure from the All-star Movies/Music food courts to say the least! The PM was quiet and very festive (before i came i thought it would be tacky from the pics, but i really did like it once i saw it!) It has kinda of an outdoor feel, but in the airconditioning. Also, on some night there was a mexican-ish band playing softly and the water fountain was always in the background....
The resort is very beautiful! I enjoyed being in the cabanas and looking across the lake to see the casitas lit up as a little town, and the mayan temple's fire lit. The beach is very small, but when i went to lay in the hamocks there was never more than one other person there. The pool area is also very nice and the slide was my little brother's main amusement.
There was a convention goin on during our stay but besides one night when there were ppl picking up name tags in the (beautiful) lobby we never did see them. As in 'Them' i mean ppl walking around in business suits...
Overall my entire family loved out stay and will go back.
