    Gran Destino tower with Club access was great

    The Gran Destino at Coronado Springs is excellent and the tower is much more of a Deluxe Disney Resort than a moderate. I’m fact it’s the only Moderate with a Club Level. The decor of the tower is amazing. I’m a Disney and a Dali fan so this is a great combo of both. We had room 9536 which is a great water view and right across the hall from the Club Level amenities as well as close to the elevator. It’s a suite a separate bedroom and 1.5 bathrooms which is great for a family visit. The food in the Club Level wasn’t quite on par with Deluxe Club Levels that we have visited in WDW but the service was top notch. Food was good but we have had exceptional club food at the Grand Floridian and Boardwalk. We will definitely stay here again!!

    Stayed 3 nights and spent our days at the parks

    Beautiful resort! It was enormous, but yet so quiet I never even heard anyone else above us or on our floor. We were in the casitas 3 building. A very nice staff member guided us as we got turned around and accidentally went to the wrong building. We stayed 3 nights and slept very comfortably. Would definitely stay again!

    Perfect place to stay

    Had a fantastic 2 week stay here. Our rooms were clean, spacious and nicely decorated. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds around a lake with great restaurant facilities - loads of places to sit quietly if you want a bit of peace. Not only a large swimming pool but also smaller community pools which are less busy. Plenty of buses to get you to the parks. Absolutely loved staying here and it will be our first choice for our next trip.

    Loved every minute, can't wait to come back!

    This was our first trip to Disney and we LOVED staying at Coronado Springs. We stayed in the Tower with water view (preferred room) - our room was very spacious, extremely clean, beautifully decorated, had a huge bathroom, and a lovely view of Lake Dorado and the pools. Beds were very comfortable, and our floor was quiet. We could even see the Magic Kingdom fireworks at night. The Dig Site pool was the main draw for us and did not disappoint. Everything from the scenery, pool cleanliness + temperature, ability to get loungers, and waterslide - was perfect. Every staff member was polite and helpful. The complimentary shuttles to Disney were awesome - we rarely waited more than a few mins. Highly recommend ordering some groceries to the hotel (we used InstaCart, and bell services kindly held the items for us) because having some breakfast items, fruit & veggies on hand was so nice!

    Stunning, beautiful, sophisticated but peaceful resort - loved it!

    We absolutely loved this resort. We stayed in the Casitas 4 and the room was modern (refurbished I think) and sophisticatedly styled room and beautiful resort, The location of the resort is brilliant. It seemed like it would be remote as its on its own surrounded by trees but actually its in between 3 of the parks and its even closer to Blizzard beach - the only resort to have a direct bus service to it (the only other bus goes from Animal Kingdom). The styling of the lobby of the main tower is particularly stunning and had a great roof top bar from which you can see the fireworks at Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Its not cheap, but its moderate by Disney standards but still feels luxurious and we visited other higher spec resorts but thought Coronado Springs the nicest because it felt quiet, secluded and refined. The only really noisy part was the Dig Site main pool area which was a great theme but too crowded for us - but the 22 person Jacuzzi is a must - but the other smaller pools (like ours in Casitas) were much quieter and therefore we used more. We didn't try the formal restaurants but the Three Bridges Restaurant in the middle of the lake looked lovely and the quick serve restaurant in the main block was fine for us non foodies. The only negative was room was only made up once in our 6 night stay and one drawer wouldn’t stay closed - nitpicking!
