    Poor Service

    Terribly poor service from Cast Members on arrival. Shared my experience in detail with Guest Services and got a half-hearted apology which let down the overall atmosphere and plays a big part in my subsequent rating. Stayed in the Tower. Rooms were nice, spacious, clean and tidy. Some noise from adjoining rooms but more from housekeeping banging around than other guests. Well located for parks, but the Disney Transportation buses for this resort are dreadfully slow. Good food options and recommend the Dahlia Lounge but would add that the views are not as expected for fireworks from the parks and it does get crowded by other Guests not using the lounge.

    Overall a great experience!

    I stated here for 4 nights for a work conference. From the check-in all the way to checkout, I had a very pleasant experience. People who work here seem to genuinely like their job. At least that’s the impression I got based on the interactions. Property is really nice. Very Spanish/Latin American vibe everywhere. If you get rooms in the buildings farthest from the lobby, it’s a good 10-15 min walk depending on the building but I believe they also could take you in a cart or something from what I heard. I walked to my room and it was so nice to see all the restaurants, bridges etc. on the way. Room was very nice with comfortable beds. I tried couple of restaurants, one was more like a cafeteria style quick bites and the other one was in the middle of the water and aptly named The three bridges. Food was good. They have a great pool area though I didn’t get a chance to use it. There is a sand volleyball court as well. Disney buses come to multiple bus stops that were behind the buildings. Overall I had a great experience and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

    A Fine Disney Resort

    Our family stayed here for five nights in September. We stayed in Ranchos area. This was our first stay here. Other family members stayed in adjoining room. The resort has a very nice design with multiple unique settings around a large central lake, with easy access to all points via paved walkways and connecting bridges. The room itself was spacious enough and very functional, with dual sinks and full bath. Room was quiet overall when rest needed. The room layout is typical to what I've seen at Pop Century, another location we like to stay at. Four bus stops make it easy to catch a ride to all locations. Food at the central location was tasty and service quick. One improvement relates to room cleaning. Our room was only cleaned one time during the stay, after I made a call. We did have the 'do not disturb' out on occasion. It would be nice if the cleaning crew would provide notification of the window of time when they plan to provide service, and allow for arranging other time. We would definitely stay here again.

    Coronado Springs-Always a pleasant stay

    You can't go wrong with a stay at Coronado Springs. The hotel has everything you could ask for, including the Barcelona Lounge which for us coffee fiends is a real star attraction. The rooms are a fair size and the amenities are all that you need The rooms however only have regular USB ports so male sure you have enough plugs for your devices or you may need to purchase an adapter. The scenery around the hotel is the real star attraction as on a nice day/cool afternoon there are so many places to explore and go for a walk. Though one might argue the real star of the show is the "The Dig Site" featuring The Lost City of Cibola Pool. The hotel restaurant El Mercado de Coronado has plenty of selection for breakfast, lunch and dinner, so nobody will go hungry. The one criticism of El Mercado is that the menu items are always the same and there is very little change throughout the week. This may be an issue for folks who like to try different items each night if staying for a longer vacation.
