Disney's Coronado Springs Resort

TL;DR - We loved it! This is where we will be staying from now on. I didn't think we would ever find the right fit for us at Disney World. We finally found it, and it's not even a deluxe resort. Which is difficult to believe because the service & amenities at club level well exceeded our expectations. The Gran Destino Tower is located at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. It still feels new even though it has been open since 2019. We loved everything about it. It's fresh & modern. The décor is absolutely beautiful! I could have spent all day taking pictures around this building, but we just wanted to relax and enjoy our stay. The service starts before you leave your home. Disney Signature Services calls to ask if you have any allergies, questions, or concerns. This is when we found out that the Chronos Club would be available to us even before being assigned a room. It opens at 6:30am for coffee. They start serving a hot buffet breakfast at 7:00am. What is cool is that the Barcelona Lounge in the lower lobby also opens for breakfast at 6:30. There are options before you even get on that bus to leave for your theme park destination. The bus is the only complimentary transportation at this resort. If that's a problem for you, then you may want a resort that's closer to the theme park or that has access to the Skyliner/Monorail. We've stayed at Disney's Riviera and the Contemporary resorts in the past. It's nice to have that 2nd option. At the same time, we've never had an issue with their bus transportation. We used Bus Stop 1 the entire time. There are 4 stops at this resort, but our stop always seemed to be the last stop before going to the park. We received a notification that our room (9565) was ready at around 2pm (automated check-in). We originally were thinking it would be the 9th floor because they do have club level rooms on floors other than the 15th. But then, the app showed that the room was on the 15th floor. It's kind of a strange room number system. We walked all the way down the hall and immediately recognized the Magic Kingdom off in the distance through the hallway window. The MagicBand was our room key. All went well unlocking the door. The room was spacious and clean. It was the perfect size for 2 people. The couch was extremely comfy for a hotel. It had everything that we needed. There was even a great view to watch the fireworks from EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. I think the most relaxing part of our stay was the Chronos Club. We checked in at the concierge desk immediately upon entering. The level of service here is fantastic! We were offered a seasonal drink from a list of 3. The Sugar Plum Punch was very good. The lounge is decorated so beautifully. There is Christmas music in Spanish, and lots of game boards for kids and adults. The view of Hollywood Studios was even closer at this part of the hotel. I can see why people head over here and the Dahlia Lounge to view them. I think the best buffet times were breakfast and dessert. They start serving bite sized desserts at 8:00pm. They were actually good quality type desserts such as Horchata Cheesecake and Lemon Olive Oil Cake. I was thankful that they immediately offered me a box to take what I wanted back to my room. What I liked best was that you could grab & go any of the items. They even had snacks such as KIND bars and veggies that you could take to the park. The bottled water and canned sodas were always available. I could go on & on. It's really true what they say about the Gran Destino Tower. It's a moderately priced resort with a deluxe feel. The club access makes it pricier, but it's still less than if you were to stay at a deluxe resort. Some deluxe resorts at Disney World don't even have club access. Honestly, I think even a non-club room in the tower would be great. You have access to everything at Coronado Springs. We will return! There's so much to see, and I feel like I didn't get a chance to really walk around to enjoy the outdoor scenery at the resort. It will be a longer stay next time. Read less

This resort is really nice. I was next to a very loud machine but when I closed the door I heard nothing. Great theming! Beautiful resort. Beds so comfortable! I was in the cabana section and was very close to the main food court. Lots of food options. Food was good. Pretty close to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. I loved it here and would stay again.

The resort rooms and landscape are 5 star. We were upgraded which never happens to us from All Star so must say we were thrilled. Upon arrival they again upgraded us to a room close to the main building. Lovely landscaping and pool areas, staff was Disney Excellent as always. Loved that the buses were direct to the park. Reason for 3 stars is restaurants, the variety and quality at quick service is an embarrassment for Disney Hotel, we tried Rix but due to lack of servers they could only seat us at the bar which is ok once but… Three Bridges is lovely setting but prices seemed high so we stuck with appetizers. This hotel is not in our budget so we will return to AllStar next visit unless WDW wants to upgrade us to Port Orleans Read less

Disney’s Coronado Springs is almost a hidden gem. It is considered a moderate resort, but it honestly felt like a deluxe. The property is very large, but we stayed at the Grand Destino Tower, the hotel’s main building, which made everything more convenient since we didn’t have to leave the tower to eat or do anything else. We also stayed Club level, which was the right choice for us because you can eat and drink at almost any time, with quite a large range of food and beverage options to choose from. The Chronos Club is spacious, and the cast members there are very friendly and solicitous. The only thing my family felt could be improved at the Chronos Club is the lack of cheese during breakfast, but that’s just a small detail. Our room was very large, fitting a family of four perfectly without feeling crowded. The daily room service was also excellent. Overall, we had a magical experience and would definitely consider staying there again. Read less

The Coronado Springs resort is quite good. It is huge and overwelming so take some time to learn it. I stayed for two days leading up to Christmas. My room was is a long way from anything so using the free disney bus system is a must. As far as the condo style room I had goes, it oversaw a little lake and Cornado Springs tower. Just beautiful. The room appeared recently renovated and was flawlessly clean. There was no microwave so I called guest services and had one in under 15 minutes delivered to my room no charge. The beds were comfy, lots of water pressure and hot water. There were only two negatives, the walls were thin and I was in an adjoinging room so i could most of the playtime with the kid next door and it was my fiorst time staying on the proprty and it was overwelming learning everyhting so quickly. The employees was to refer you to "the APP' but that alone take days to elarn and one disny employee admitted to me that the app drives people nuts. A printed bus schedule was not available and is what I needed. Read less
