" I stayed
at the Coronado Spring Resort twice last year with my husband and
had such a great time, I'm returning again this year with some more
family. The resort rooms were clean and spacious. The staff at this
resort were pleasant and helpful. The resort itself is really beautiful
and scenic. The food at the Pepper Market is awesome, one of the
reasons we're returning. Trying the chicken enchiladas is a must!!!
I would highly recommend this resort to anyone wanting to have a
great trip at WDW." Kimberly Sarwan-Vega." (8/03)
"My fiance
and I arrived back from Coronado about two weeks ago from Coronado
Springs. We stayed for four nights anf five days and we both loved
it. When we had made reservations for our room, we asked for the
Cabana section, which we were given Ranchos instead. At first we
were upset, but we discovered that the Ranchos was a lot quieter
and more romantic. The room was what I expected. A bathroom with
a television and a bed. Since we would be in the parks most of the
time, this didn't bother us. Overall, the coolest part of the room
was the shower. The shower was a lot bigger than I had expected
it to be. It was well worth it. To be honest, we weren't impressed
at all with the food. My fiance and I ate at Pepper Market one night
and had ordered pasta. The pasta was kind of cold and wasn't too
good. Also, adding 10% gratuity to the bill seemed kind of pointless
since all the waiter/waitress did was get sodas which were only
about 50 feet away from us. We did eat at at Maya Grill for breakfast
one morning in which the food was good. Also, the service was very
friendly. OUr favorite place for eating was at the little convenience
store located in the main building. There were snacks and drinks
that would last us each day. Overall, the mood of the hotel was
very romantic: esecially at night. We would sit on the hammocks
and look across the lagoon and see the lights of el central. The
sight was breathtaking and was also where my boyfriend propsed to
me. The walk from our room to the main building was 10 minutes but
never minded at night because we would love to walk to see the beauty
of the lights." (6/03) Janelle T.
"The room
was very clean and well maintained. We had requested adjoining rooms
with a lake view, which was granted. We stayed in Casita 3. Lots
of walking, but the weather was beautiful, so the added strolls
were a bonus. Very family friendly resort. Pepper Market was a neat
atmosphere. Most of the meals we had there were of good quality.
Service was usually pretty good. It was nice to have someplace to
come back too instead of always grabbing something in the park.
This resort is beautiful enough to just vacation there, without
the parks. Would gladly pick to stay there again. Never waited long
for any of the park buses. Occasionally had to wait for a Downtown
Disney bus. It was a wonderful vacation!" (2/03) Staci
"The Coronado
Springs was a very nice hotel. It was kind of big for my liking
but had a great bar and food court. We found the quietness of our
room great. My husband and I were on our honeymoon. I would have
liked a room closer to the front of the resort. My husband and I
had a little trouble navigating the resort. We got turned around
several times in the building that we were in. The dining was great.
Both the food court and the Mesa Grill were excellent. Good resort.
Excellent price. Kind of big." Amy Rients
"The room
was always clean, in a good location (cabana 8b) very close to the
big pool area and only steps away from bus stop #4. Very quiet very
few children there. The scenery was incredible- you could really
believe you were in old Mexico. The buildings and grounds were very
well maintained and the cast members were very nice. Overall, the
prices were grossly inflated for what you got. we only ate breakfast
one morning at the pepper market-this was the best meal overall
that we ate at the resort. the meals at the pepper market were good
overall but way to expensive and the 10% gratuity that was added
onto our bill was way too much for the service we received. Great
resort but will probably eat elsewhere next trip!" (6/02) Russell

"We stayed
in Ranchos 7B. It was very close to bus stop 4 and the main pool.
The room was clean and the staff extremely helpful. They set up
our animals on the beds. When my son lost his signed autograph book,
the staff went out of their way to help retrieve it. The shuttles
came by about every 10 minutes. The shuttles stop at bus stop 2,3,4,
and then 1 at the main desk. We loved it here. The Pepper Market
food was really good. There was a wide variety at a reasonable price.
It's cheaper to buy power aid drinks and juice in the gifts and
sundry shop than at the parks. Loved it! Whatever you need, just
ask for it!!!" (4/02) nicole
"I just returned
from my 9 day stay at the hotel and I just wanted to tell you how
impressed I was. The hotel is very beautiful!!! Here is a list of
all the positive things that I HAVE to mention about the hotel:
1. The landscaping was the best part of the hotel. 2. I like the
idea of having a couple of quiet pools where the adults can sit,
relax and maybe nap in addition to the one big pool for everyone
to enjoy. 3. The service (from desk clerk to wait staff) was spectacular.
4. We were also very impressed that every Disney theme park bus
stopped at our hotel. It was very convenient for us! We visited
a couple of other hotels, while taking a break from the parks, and
we had a hard time getting back to our hotel. 5. The food was delicious.
Here are the negative things that I have to say: 1. The rooms were
very small and out dated. 2. The bathroom fan in our room was very
loud. 3. The restaurants need more of a variety of food selections.
By the second day, we were getting bored. The hotel needs more restaurants
for its size. 4. The jeeps driving around the grounds need to slow
down since they share the same walkway as the guests. 5. At the
quiet pools, you should have a little kiosk for people who need
water without having to walk a long distance to the Pepper Market
or the Big Pool. If I had to rate this hotel where 10 would be outstanding
and 1 would be the worst, I'd give it an 8. I would definitely recommend
this place to other people and I will definitely stay there again."

"My husband
and I were very pleasantly surprised by this resort. We stayed in
Ranchos Bldg 6A and had a corner room on the third floor just across
from the elevators. The location was fantastic! We were just a short
walk from the parking lot (we had a rental car), and a bus stop
was close by, as well. The Dig Site was about a 5 minute walk, and
incredibly themed! The entire resort was really quite beautiful,
and we highly recommend it! Dining at the resort was nice. The food
in the Pepper Market was typical food court food... fair to good.
THe Maya Grill was a very nice restaurant for a sit down dinner.
The service was a little slow, but nothing intolerable. All in all,
just what you'd expect from one of Disney's moderate resorts."

"I was thouroughly
impressed with the Coronado. Our room was located between the main
pool and the bus stop. (When I made reservations I requested this).
The scenery was beautiful and the pool area was fantastic. Our room
was very nice, about what I expected. The resort was much larger
more luxurious than I had expected. When I was still going to WDW
with my parents, we always stayed at the Polynesian Village. Since
I was paying this time, we chose a moderately priced resort and
I was ready to sacrifice a little. I have to say it was just as
nice as the Polynesian Village for half the price! Even if I could,
I don't think I would pay for a deluxe resort in the future. My
family and I were extremely happy with our stay at the Coronado
Springs. Dining at the resort was a little pricier than I expected.
I was under the impression that they had a traditional food court
which to me meant low prices. The Pepper Market was very delicious
and convenient but since everything (including bread and butter
which I thought was outrageous)was a la carte, that equaled a very
large bill! We were better off going to a regular full-service or
buffet restaurant where we got more food for about the same amount
of money. I was very impressed with the resort overall. The service
was outstanding. The gift shop, lobby, and grounds were beautiful.
The pool was fantastic and so was the bus service. I do think that
they need a lower cost food establishment since it is, after all,
a moderate resort for people who are trying to save a little $$."

"Excellent
place to stay with children. We stayed in the Cabanas 8B. This location
was very close to the outstanding pool, food court, and bus stops.
The bus service was very good. The main lobby childrens area (TV
and coloring table) kept the children entertained while we reviewed
broucheres, front desk business, etc.. The pool and water slide
was great, the children really loved the waterslide. The food court
was outstanding and the staff was knowledgeable and friendly. I
highly recommend the Coronado Springs." (12/01) Lisa Noble
"I suppose
that the build up for this was too great. Although the resort was
clean new and like all resorts, all around beautiul, it still requires
a huge walk to dinner and the main buildings if you are not fortunate
to be in the cabana sections.A pool view is a long walk. I would
categorize it as a typical moderate resort. Layout is basically
the same as carrib beach, dixie landings etc. However,the concept
of the Pepper Market to dine is great. Eight kitchens to chose from
and a great bar. good service. The Maya although overpriced served
great food for those who want something private wothout the kids.
The sunday brunch was nothing special. I will from now on after
visiting all the moderate resorts, spend the extra few bucks for
the convenience of the deluxe resorts." (3/02) ken and stephanie
"Water view
does not necessarily mean the main lagoon area, anywhere you can
kinda see any water, is a water view $. Outside of this little unknown
fact I really enjoyed the resort, the pool area and the holiday
theming was wounderful. The parks and off peak timing made this
a terrific time to go for crowds and value." (12/01)
"I stayed
for 4 nights last December. After moving from the All-stars resort,
it was heaven. The room was a little hard to get to (not a deluxe-
where you have an inside elevator and hallway), but very clean and
pretty. We were located behind the main pool. My daughter did not
want to go to the parks because she loved the pool so much. We were
too busy to make the long walk to the lobby, but we had a car and
easy access to the bus stop. The service was excellent!
The food was great, especially the chicken with coleslaw and potato
salad we got from room service. We loved it. I wanted to visit again,
but my daughter wanted to try a new one. So far we have stayed at
the polonesian, all-stars, and coronado resorts. We will visit the
dolphin and animal kingdom lodge next week!" (12/00) Carolyn
