    Adequate, nothing special despite the hype

    We stayed for two weeks in August 2026 - there were 4 of us. If we hadn’t of had the dining plan we would basically have paid a fortune to stay in a motel with a pool and laundry facilities. Don’t get me wrong the entrance and foyer to Coronado Springs are magnificent, but this luxury is not reflective of the vast majority of the resort. We stayed in Ranchos, thankfully very close to a bus stop. Beds were comfortable, room was quiet and air con was fab. Rooms lack storage for 4 and under the beds, especially by the walls looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in ages. The pools and communal areas were all great, with the exception of the wasps. The soda refill machine is so convenient if you can brave the 10-15 wasps around it. To be fair the staff working at the counter will get you one from their machine. The food available on the dining plan was great with different options in the main food area and pool bar, however it does get very repetitive. Make sure to look for what chef’s specials they have (it was salmon or half a roasted chicken when I asked) as it isn’t well advertised. My main issue with staying in the Ranchos is the ten minute walk back to the main building to get a decent refill coffee - even the pool bar doesn’t have coffee. This was ridiculous and something that could easily be fixed. We had a great stay however I wouldn’t stay here again as the price doesn’t reflect what you get.

    No complaints will return

    Just returned from 2 weeks at Coronado, we will definitely return. We stayed in Casitas which was a great location, not too far to everything & first bus pick up. Really convenient bus service to the parks. Quick service food is good with good choice. When our room was missed on a cleaning day, a call to the front desk quickly sorted it. When we ran out of conditioner & body wash a quick request through Alexa got it sorted. Beds a little bit on the firm side but slept fine. Overall no complaints.

    A good moderate Disney hotel - the location is the highlight.

    A good moderate Disney hotel - the location is the highlight. Stayed 7 days. Paid $250 a night. Overall, we had a positive experience and found the hotel to be a high-quality property with an excellent location. The transport connections are particularly good, buses to the parks run every 15mins or so which makes navigating Disney a breeze. A large free car park makes it an easy base to park up and also explore the local area without relying on taxis. The hotel itself offers a good standard of facilities and has many of the features you would expect from a substantial, well-established property - the lake, the pools, the lobby all great. There is a sense of quality throughout. The bars were sensibly priced, by Disney standards at least as was the quick service restaurant. That said, there are a few areas where the experience could be improved. The staff were pretty consistently unwelcoming, which was somewhat at odds with the otherwise high standard of the hotel. Our rooms were not ready until 2hrs after check-in and we were not even offered a bottle of water. Just a shrug and a comment - "Well we are busy". Housekeeping was also disappointing - every other day - with the level of attention to detail falling well short of what you would expect from a property of this calibre. The floors were filthy and were not cleaned at all during our stay. It is important to note the hotel is extremely large, which is both a strength and a weakness. While the scale means there are plenty of facilities and amenities, getting around can be surprisingly time-consuming and confusing. Depending on your room location, we were in Casitas 4 , simply finding your way to the lobby, restaurants or other facilities can feel like a journey in itself. Allow 15 mins to get anywhere. If you are disabled, you absolutely WILL need a scooter if you are staying anywhere but the tower. Despite these drawbacks, we enjoyed our stay overall. The excellent location, superb transport links and high-quality facilities make this a hotel worth considering. It's priced well and clearly targets large conventions in the main as well as value conscious park guests that don't want to be fleeced or rammed into a value property. The emphasis on business guests is noticeable in the team, with a standoffish non-Disney vibe. With more consistent service, improved housekeeping and better navigation around such a large property ( a free shuttle buggy perhaps), the guest experience could be considerably stronger.

    original listed price is expensive, but if they upgrade you to it, then not bad to try

    the room looks clean, the original listed price is expensive, but if you booked the cheapest Disney resort and they upgrade you to that, it may be a good try. Although there is pool or smore activity near the pool, but it always canceled due to the weather, and the pool was also closed due to the weather, so poor. But the good point of living in Disney resort is that you gain early entry to the parks , also free parking.

    Disappointing

    Just arrived and pretty disappointing so far… poor welcome, no one to show us where room was so we walked around looking for ages, no shuttle service in sight… let’s see how the next two weeks go 🙏
