When I arrived 4/28, my requested room in Bldg 9 near El Centro was not ready at check-in time, so they downgraded me to Bldg 4. They asked what floor I preferred, I replied ground floor. They put me on 4th floor. The TV didn't work every morning--desk said because it had been raining. The toilet flooded the bathroom one night, so we were 2 hours late getting to bed.
Next time I'll be going to Port Orleans--I understand they now have queen-size beds.

Pros:

queen-size beds for moderate price

Cons:

too big for management to keep up

Arrived 12/24 machine that has options for unsweetened tea had sweet tea spoke to manager 4 times during our 10 day stay wasn’t fixed they would get me tea but had to wait I’m not a soda drinker and do not like any sweetener in my tea very disgusting to have to keep reporting it and nothing done also need more food variety for quick service too tried to report on their website but no options unless you call and that’s reservation number may seem small problems to some but aggravating to not get drink when other members of family do and not like I didn’t report and still not fixed after 11 days

Pros:

Three Bridges Restaurant good but not open til 430 pm

Cons:

Food not easily accessible and especially drinks after you’ve bought mug need at least refill at each building not just at quick service

Pretty on the surface; service was lacking.
The Gran Destino Tower is amazing - you feel transported once you step into the lobby overlooking the Lounge.
Rix Cafe was pretty good, but I'm not sure why it closes at 12:30. Not many people want gelato for breakfast.
El Mercado's offerings were very generic - pizza, burgers, nachos, and the grab-and-go sandwiches.
However, we had requested a room with disability access in the tub (walk-in, or at least hand-rails) for one of our party with mobility issues, and did not get not get one. We requested a change and were given one, but the new room also did not have the needed tub. Our room phone received calls, but we could not contact the front desk, bell services, or anyone else. I had to call the resort's overall Guest Service number on my own phone and ask them to contact bell services to bring our luggage. We put in a request for a working phone, were told it would be replaced; it never was. Housekeeping did not come to empty trash/replace towels on our second day, and since they didn't fix the phone, I had to walk to the Tower to request towels after a day in the parks. Our safe glitched on the last morning and wouldn't accept our code, so I had to (again) walk to the Tower to get help for that, since 48 hours later, the phone was still not fixed.

I would stay there again if I was attending a convention and my work paid for it. Otherwise, other than the long desk/workspace, I've had just as much room at Pop Century.

Pros:

Gran Destino is beautiful; theming is nice. Quick bus rides to all parks.

Cons:

Away from the tower, the property wasn't maintained to what you would expect of Disney. Lots of scuff marks on the walls, paint chipping/fading near elevators. Service hit or miss.

We stayed at Rancho a mile away from the main office far walk food expensive and not good rooms clean no room service only clean towels evey other day they dont even make the beds for the money we pay for the rooms if you get uber eats you have to walk a mile to the main tower how does a handicapped person do that you have to have good feet and back everything is so far away from each other. Al the workers are friendly they do keep the resort clean nothing to do. Your better off staying outside the park and renting a car instead of the bus business myself i would not stay there again not accomidating for me

Pros:

Clean

Cons:

No room service too far to wallk

Only ok. The Three Bridges restaurant was very good. The room was ok, but nothing special. The resort was clean. Our preferred room was a short walk to the pool and bus stops.

Pros:

The gift shop was nice and the staff were friendly. The pool was the highlight.

Cons:

Nothing super special other than the pool.

We stayed in a preferred room and it sadly was not worth it. The room itself was very large and nice we were way to far away from food and transportation. We also were on the top floor and had to use an elevator from a different building to get to the room because there was only 1 elevator that would reach that floor. It was quiet and clean but a hassle if you actually wanted to do anything.

Pros:

The food at the bar Rix. Large and very clean rooms. Extremely quiet.

Cons:

Bad food. This needs to be 2 hotels. If you are not staying in the tower, do not stay there unless you really like walking. The focus is on the tower and nothing else. Transportation is very far away in some parts so be careful. Tower staff not very helpful or friendly but the rest of the staff was great.

My friend and I stayed at this resort when my favorite (Port Orleans) was full. The check-in was fine. I believe they had just finished a major remodeling project, so the check-in location had moved. I asked to get a room close to the main tower, but was told 'everything is close'. More on that later.. The rooms were nice, but we needed to be taken there by golf cart (clue #1). We chose to take the credit of no room service, which was fine for us. We were on the second floor, in Casita's 4. We didn't really have a view, which was fine for us. We were not far from the bus stop, and were the last to be picked up and first to be dropped off. When we went to Universal Studios, we used Lyft, which worked out well, as we were not far from the parking lot.
The biggest issue is that after walking all day in the parks, walking another 1/2 mile to the 'main building' was not my idea of a good time. It would have been fine if there would have been a golf cart available. We ordered pizza one day, and had to go to to the main building to pick up the pizza. It was cold by the time we got back to our room. Overall, Coronado is a very nice resort, if you can be in the main building.

Pros:

Nice rooms

Cons:

very spread out and long walk to the main building

Used to love this resort but construction is making me change my mind. We liked it for the change of pace. Super relaxing and quiet pool was always quiet. Feature pool had a fun slide. But no with adding so many new rooms in a tower- I feel like it will lose the quiet feel.

Pros:

Used to be a quieter moderate

Cons:

Construction
