Readers' Opinions

I have stayed at C.S a few times and have always loved it everytime we have gone. I do agree that the resort is a bit dead in areas. I think this is due to it being so spread out. We rented bikes and made plenty of trips all the way around the property and it seems that the area where the rooms look like they have cactus in front of them is the most desolate. All in all I think the resort is wonderful. - Crystal A

Beautiful scenery and architecture. Astounded that this was a moderate resort. Food was a bit pricey, but if you ask for carry-out at the Pepper Market it's much cheaper. Pool and slide were great. Was very relaxing and pleasant to take a stroll around the lake in the middle. Housekeeping was wonderful, clean spacious rooms, and extremely pleasant employees. I definetly recommend it to anyone. - Adam Nodjomian

I do not understand why people have such an issue with Coronado.I stayed in October 2008 and will return in October 2009. IMO, I wouldn't stay anywhere else. The theming is adorable and much more bright than the other moderates I have seen, there are less noisy kids here so it's perfect for couples, the Mayan temple/pool is breathtaking, and the staff treated us like royalty. Mousekeeping became nervous because we left our privacy tag on our door. (we didn't need our room done) Apparently they really wanted to clean the room. They were very attentive and nice. I think people just perceive Mexican food as cheap, I guess? I'm a picky eater. (I don't eat fast food and routinely eat at Jiko's and Cali Grill) I loved the food at this hotel. It was not "horrible" as the other review said. I liked the Pepper Market counter service, but I admit it can be a little confusing until you get the hang of it. If someone isn't serving you...get their attention! I think the way it is set up is confusing for CM's, too. They should really mark off better places to stand to place an order. Still..,I love this place. I don't see it as being larger by much at all than the other resorts. Walking was not a problem...I loved seeing the friendly cranes, squirrels, and geckos who live here. - Onezumi Hartstein

I stayed at Coronado spring for 7 nights as I attended a seminar. Let me start by saying so much bad happened that I won't be able to name them all. customer service is TERRIBLE and the food is HORRIBLE just to name a few. I was in casa 3 and asked one of the cart's driver to take me and he actually turned me down by saying he was not going my way. Anyway, this was my first time at a Disney resort and I was not impressed at all. I spoke to a few people who recommend Universal. I heard Universal really takes care of their clients. - marie legrand

I have nothing but good things about this hotel. The theming and pools are impecable and the food, especially for breakfast, was great. A little empty and quiet, but a pretty good resort anyway - Anthony Murphy

Pleasant but somewhat uninspired. It has nice landscaping and comfortable rooms. But it feels dead. Don't get me wrong - the lack of crowds was really nice. But there wasn't much to do here and the pool area closes at 8PM on a Saturday night! We expected a little extra for the extra money. - ed snopse

This was our 5th visit to DW in 9 years and our first time at Coronado Springs. Rooms were as expected and comparable with past experiences with moderates. What was surprising was the total lack of service in the food court. As we moved about in the food stations we found it difficult to get waited on with some employees actually ignoring you as you stood waiting to order. Will stay somewhere else on our next visit. - Dave Hart

I visited the Coronado Springs Resort last year and I have to say that I wasn't impressed with this Disney property at all and I will not, be returning. I've read a lot of complaints about the resort being too big and people having a long walk to get to the main lobby, I don't agree with that at all. I had no problem with walking a little bit, my concerns were customer service, they were horrible! Several requests for towels were ignored, express checkout was a flop just to name a few. Not once did any of the workers on the grounds say, "hello". Take my advice and visit some other moderate resort! - John Chaffin
