Disney's Coronado Springs Resort

Tiffany Edwards

I wanted to like this hotel, but there were too many inconveniences for it to get a higher rating. I’ll start with the good, the rooms where I stayed — in the tower — were modern, spacious and comfortable. No complaints there. And the staff was helpful and kind. Now on to the not so good. I had many friends who were put in the other hotel accommodations (I think they’re called the villas or cabins?) and I heard tales of a super far and inconvenient location with a long outdoor walk near water that is surrounded by signs about gators and snakes, and that they were outdated rooms. The other issues included no drinking water provided in the room (and for those who said just drink the tap water, it never came out cold, only luke warm, which made me nervous to drink it), and only overpriced water for purchase in the hotel (I paid $6.25 out of desperation for a bottle of smart water one night). There were limited dining options during the day. The room service was only every other day by default, but we were told we could make special requests if we wanted more/leas cleaning. No instructions were followed. on the day I requested no cleaning because I was in the middle of packing and all of my personal items were spread out, I went out and came back to discover my room was cleaned anyway. And I had friends who requested more frequent cleaning and didn’t get it. The walls were thin, I could hear the very door slam in the mornings and the voices of everyone walking up and down the hallway. And this may not be an issue for families, but as apart of an adult group attending a conference, we were disappointed to discover all bars closed at 12am. It wasn’t the worst place I ever stayed, but definitely wasn’t the best.

Love this resort. The grounds are amazing and even better at night time. The Destino tower can be a bit pricey to stay in but are as close to a deluxe stay as you can find at a moderate. The coffee shop in the lower level offers a great place to sit and watch the morning unfold. The rest of the rooms are your standard moderate rooms but have been updated recently. The Ranchos and Caistas can be a bit of a long walk but each have bus stops. Im not a huge fan of the southwest theme so we had avoided staying here. After a few stays we love it. Only draw back is the food court is subpar espcecially when compared to Riverside's.

We absolutely loved our stay at Coronado Springs! This is a large resort with four convenient bus stops. We stayed in the Ranchos section, it's a bit of a walk from the Gran Destino Tower, but the beautiful grounds, ambience, and music made it enjoyable. Our room was close to a pool, bus stop, and laundry room, which was very convenient. The room itself was clean and pleasant, with two comfy beds and two vanity sinks. It came equipped with a fridge, iron, hair dryer, coffee maker, and more. Housekeeping stopped by every two days. Staff throughout the resort were friendly, polite, and very helpful. Transportation was easy, about 10 minutes to Hollywood Studios, and while Magic Kingdom felt like the longest ride, it’s hard to complain when you’re at Disney World! The quick-service restaurant was great for a fast meal. I enjoyed the turkey and ham sub a few times, and there were solid classics like burgers and chicken tenders. The refillable fountain drinks were availble here. Overall, we’d definitely come back. It felt classier and more grown-up than All-Stars or Pop Century, yet still offered great value. There is a convention center on-site, so you’ll see more corporate guests, but we didn’t mind it at all.

We stayed at Ranchos Building 7A for a week. Rooms were clean, and they serviced every other day. It's beautiful and quiet at night when walking the resort. Ranchos is a far walk from main building, so highly recommend engaging bell services when you need help. Bus stop #3 was nearby, and buses were arriving an average 20 mins for each dedicated location (e.g. animal kingdom). Staff is friendly. Daisy Duck and Dale visited the main building on our first day while we were checking in, so our kids enjoyed seeing them. We requested and received a microwave for our room and a refrigerator for our connected room for our other family, which we share via the internal party door. We used Target 360 to have drinks, food, and supplies delivered to Bell Services while we were in route to the resort. Used the laundry room - plenty of washers and dryers; there's a vending machines for detergent or use your own. The Ranchos village pool is quiet. The Big Dig Site has the large pool with slide, and a separate hot spa area. Overall, enjoyed the resort. Only 'con' was the long walking distance to nearby food or main building, which can be a deterrent after a long day of walking the parks, hence us microwaving some Mac n Chz in the room for late night snack.

This resort is absolutely immaculate! If you love the beachy atmosphere you will absolutely love it here. Overall I feel it’s more adult oriented as a Disney resort because we didn’t really see many kids. Disney buses are abundant and will get you where you need to go. Multiple restaurants on resort with multiple options from American to Latin and Spanish and late night bars inside and outside! The staff is amazing and helped us multiple times during our stay. Kirk, walked by us while eating breakfast outside and was beyond friendly. He recommended so many things for us including where to go for the best sunset on our last day in FL!
