Disney's Coronado Springs Resort

Frommer's Review

An American Southwestern theme carries through four- and five-story grand hacienda-style buildings in shades of pink and desert-sand stucco, with terra-cotta tile roofs and shaded courtyards. The pool area, inspired by the Mayan ruins of Mexico, sports a tremendous Mayan temple with cascading water and a twisting water slide. (Watch out for the spitting jaguar -- he will likely surprise you as you pass by!) The rooms are identical in layout to those in the Caribbean Beach Resort, including the small bathrooms. Because it's a convention resort, you'll find extras (such as a barber and beauty shop, a variety of suites, and Wi-Fi access among other perks) not found at Disney's other "moderate" resorts. Those located nearest the central public area, pool, and lobby tend to be a bit noisier. The nearest park is Animal Kingdom, but the Coronado is at the southwest corner of WDW and a good distance from most other areas in the park; rent a car.

Facilities:Restaurant; grill/food court; 2 lounges; 4 outdoor heated pools; kids' pool; health club; volleyball; Jacuzzi; sauna; watercraft rentals; bike rentals; playground; 2 arcades; WDW Transportation System; transportation to non-Disney parks for a fee; business center; limited Wi-Fi access (fee); salon; limited room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service.
