Our stay did not start out to well. We had a not so great cast member checking us in. We had two rooms that I had cross referenced requesting that they be adjacent or adjoining. I realize that the cast member was not in charge of the room blocks but the way she handled it was not in the typical Disney style. We eventually got two adjoining rooms at the very end of the hotel, an extremely long walk each day especially for our 75 yr old mother. While it was a savannah view it was not a great one. Animals were only there during the early morning hours and when they were taken to the barn. The rooms were lovely, smaller than the contemporary but fine for us. We did enjoy the pool and the food court. The buses were inconsistent one day running smoothly the next we waited and waited. Our mugs were stolen at the pool one day and the cast member in Mara replaced them with no issues. We did enjoy our stay but would not rate this as a must return.

No, No and No! I so wanted to like this place but it was a huge disappointment. I had the pork loin which was a fatty as it could be. Sister had the noodle bowl which had some weird pieces of so called chicken in it, it looked like chicken feet. When called to the attention of the server the manager came over and her meal was free. The desserts were not even finishable. It needs an overhaul before too many people try it and run the other way!

This was my first time at the Coral Reef and unfortunately it did not live up to my hopes. While nothing was particularly wrong with it it was just okay. We were seated in the last tier the furthest from the fish tanks so the view was eh. The food while mostly tasty was nothing that I would rave about. I had the shrimp and grits and I love shrimp and grits and these were okay. The service was spotty, we did not see him much and he seemed overwhelmed. Not sure if I would return.

the restaurant was larger than I remembered and much better themed. The food was good, nothing to write home about but it did satisfy our whole party. The server, Barbara was wonderful! She knew her stuff and how to work it! Would return again when looking for decent filling food.

My sister, mother and I ate here on September 7. It was a lovely restaurant with great servers and really good food! We enjoyed ourselves at this restaurant it was one of our top places of our stay. We even met an Imagineer! He was there celebrating his birthday and we tried to send him a drink, which he declined but he came over to our table to thank us and signed our sketches. My sister and I had the striploin with braised short rib, it was yummo! Mom had the lamb chop, which she altered to fit her palate with no problems. Would return here anytime.

We loved this restaurant! The bread service is so worth the extra cost. It was wonderful. the butter chicken was melt in your mouth delicious. sister had the fish of the day which was one of the best of the week. Mom had steak, which she altered to fit her palate (plain) while she enjoyed it, it was not her favorite but she is not big on ethnic foods. Our server was knowledgeable and happy to help direct us. She made us feel special and well taken care of. I would return here today if I could!

On Tuesday October 11, 2016 my family of three and another of four sat down for what we had come to expect was a good show and food.
I am not one to complain but per our waiter a couple days prior the ribs were changed from on bone to off. We had five plates of ribs. Each rib was half fat. The waiter said he could not do anything about it. Very disappointed about the lack of quality rib meat and the waiter's attitude. So were others at other tables. We all compensated by eating the other items, we did not leave hungry.
The show was good as usual. We will go back. One time does not spoil years of experiences.
Pros:
Amount of food, the show and the view for watchingCons:

At first I did not want to rent a DVC property because of the unknowns of the people staying and operating the resort. Our 7 night stay was fantastic. Very relaxing atmosphere. We were two buildings from the pool, lobby and bus station. This was perfect. The attention to details wherever we wondered was the best of Disney. The Sanaa restaurant opened a couple weeks prior our 10/8/16 arrival for QM breakfast. Excellent and quick. The view of the animals was worth waking up for.
Pros:
scenery, attention to details, the peopleCons:

We had a late diner one night without a reservation. But I am a Landry's member which gives you priority seating. So the wait was not long. The drinks were fun and we got to keep the glass. I like how they don't give you the dirty one by have clean ones in a box and the build a dino counter. I had the roasted chicken which was fabulous. Can't remember what Sister had but I know she enjoyed it. Donut holes, enough said! The only issue with the restaurant is after a while the storms start to sound like screaming children which can be nerve wracking after a while. Would go back as it is so much fun.

We were seated upstairs, at first next to the waiters pass thru, not good, they did move us one table over which was better not great. The restaurant is loud, it is hard to have a conversation over the music and other people. Being open the voices carry. The steak was good, the mac and cheese was good, the desserts were good, the service not so much. He didn't seem like he wanted to be bothered with us. For being a steakhouse, I thought the steaks would be top quality. A little disappointed in the place but would probably give it another chance in the future
