This gorgeous resort is both sophisticated and laid back -it was the perfect choice for my husband and I. Coronado really punches above its weight with deluxe theming and amenities for that moderate pricetag too. The range of eateries and room types at this particular resort makes it suitable for virtually all Disney visitors, with the Dig Site pool being a hit with young people, the lounges and lake bar super spots for the adults, and both motel- and hotel- style rooms at several pricepoints. Most of all, you really feel the nods to Walt at this resort in its beautiful decor.
Pros:
Views, theming, range of amenitiesCons:
Some folks find it a little spread out, but the bridges really help with this. Lack of non-bus transport options puts off some guests, but the central location makes the buses fairly easy.Reviewed by EmilyL Review Date: 12/04/2021

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Cabanas at Coronado Springs this past August. We really enjoyed our stay there! The hotel and property as a whole are beautiful. The rooms feel luxurious, with just a little bit of Disney flair in the decor. Despite all the up-scale vibes Coronado Springs has, there’s still plenty of fun and excitement at the large pool with the pyramid and water slide. We don’t have kids, but we really enjoyed that pool, too, as well as the relaxing “quiet pool” near our room. We had a delicious meal at Maya Grill and enjoyed walking the grounds and taking it all in. This hotel only has bus transportation to the parks, but it was not an issue for us. A few times, we were the only two people on the bus.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a hotel with a luxurious feel at a moderate price.
Pros:
Rooms with a luxurious feel, beautiful grounds, multiple pools, great dining optionsCons:

We stayed in the Gran Destino tower in late September 2021, and got a great room on the 15th floor at the north end of the building. The view was AMAZING!!! I watched Epcot fireworks as well as the ones at HS. We saw the monorail and the skyliner. I even enjoyed watching the buses now that so many are wrapped with colorful characters. The room itself was one of the best I've had at WDW, and I've stayed at almost all of them over the nearly 50 years I've been going annually. The walk to the bus stop wasn't bad, however I would have preferred that the tower had it's own bus. Parking was an issue. Maybe because of folks just going to the restaurants? I think there should be overnight guest parking close to the tower and restaurant parking in the former check-in area. As twice we got back to the hotel only to find no parking spaces except the valet spots. In all, I would highly recommend Gran Destino and Coronado Springs.
Pros:
the tower feels like a deluxe resort with great viewsCons:
buses get full from so many stops, not enough parking spaces for the towerReviewed by BrittS117 Review Date: 11/22/2021

Great Resort Choice! We stayed in a preferred room in October and loved this resort. There are lots of restaurants and we appreciated the large amount of options when we wanted to grab something to eat. We find the focus of many people to be at the offerings at the Tower, however we always ate at El Centro and found the food to be very good at Rix and the main food court. The resort is close to 3 of the 4 parks and we thought the bus service was excellent. The business center was super helpful sending some souvenirs home that couldn't be shipped via the gift shop. The resort although large, isn't as large as it seems in videos, and can easily be crossed by cutting across the bridges in the center lake. We had a fun hour break at the pool and going down the water slide several times. Although we do want to try out some other Disney resorts in the future, we will absolutely consider staying at the Coronado again!
Pros:
Close to many parks, lots of food options, efficient bus serviceCons:

Nice moderate resort
Pros:
Large resort with amazing pool area. The lobby is stunning. Maya Grill was generic Mexican food and the Mercado left much to be desired. Our preferred room was in the Casitas building and it still was a long walk to the main building and food.Cons:

We just stayed at this hotel a week ago. Amazing decor, pool was close by, we also had it pretty much to ourselves. The dig site pool area is great to but way to many people at the time. We stayed on the first floor which is great. We would stay again in the future.
Pros:
Restaurants close to our room.Cons:
If we stayed in any other area then the Casitias restaurants would not be so close to walk.Reviewed by Tony9972 Review Date: 08/16/2021

This is was our first stay at Coronado Springs and I have to say we were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed staying here. There is a small caveat, we stayed in the Casistas for the first night and the rest of our stay was in the Gran Destino Tower. If our entire stay had been in the outer buildings I don't think my ranking would have been as high but I think we would have still enjoyed our stay. With that being said the Gran Destino Tower took our trip to another level. POFQ used to be our go to moderate but that will be no more. We felt like we were staying in a deluxe resort with our tower room. The room was spacious with a large bathroom and a great glass door shower. The trip by bus to all of the parks was fairly quick with the MK being the longest bus ride which is typical unless you are staying on the monorail loop. Three bridges restaurant and Rix Sports Bar were both pleasant surprises and good choices for on property dining. We will definitely stay here in the future and highly recommend it to others. For reference we have stayed at The Contemporary, Wilderness Lodge, Beach Club and The Poly.
Pros:
Location and room quality of the Gran Destino Tower. Dining options. Great gift shop with resort specific merchandise.Cons:
Housekeeping but I think was due to lack of staff at the time of our visit so I was able to look past itReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 07/21/2021

Nice hotel, due to Covid housekeeping services are every other day. Disney has gotten away from most Vovid restrictions, my advice bring back the daily house keeping services. When you go to parks in the heat, you need more towels to bathe! Buses have been great, we have managed to have good timing during our trip! This resort has horrible food! Due to Zcovid everything is premodern and very little selection! Dining in Disney has been very unsatisfying, things are closed or close earlier! Be sure to eat as the food court closes before the parks do! Spend the day in the park and can’t get a refill on your fountain drink at 11 pm!
Pros:
Busses and staying in the Casitas! If you want to enjoy the dig site pool, stay in the ranchos!Cons:
FOOD!!!!!!! The fact that they don’t do housekeeping daily!Reviewed by StarTours1401 Review Date: 06/24/2021

We just returned home from our week-long honeymoon stay at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, and we LOVED it! We booked a room in Gran Destino Tower and were very impressed by its deluxe feel. The room was spacious and comfortable with a spectacular view. The cast were warm, welcoming, and helpful. I strongly recommend this resort!
