    Disney Magic

    Amazing, clean, service is fantastic and staff is courteous and friendly. We stayed in the Cabanas right in front of the pool and near the laundry room, a little walk to the Destino tower and bus stop but no complaints. The walk is so enjoyable. We loved our stay!

    Disney experience, similar to a time share

    Decent Disney money saving experience and accessible via bus to Disney's Parks, Disney Springs. Clean Rooms, small breakfast area/assortment---but a stay here requires: long walk to breakfast and medium walk to bus stops. It costs less than EPCOT Resorts, but has fewer overall amenities too.

    Luxury for a Moderate price

    The Coronado Resort is a fantastic place to stay when visiting WDW. Yes, it is their convention center but don’t be discouraged by that. Great walking trails, fantastic pool and the biggest sand box ever. The rooms were comfy, the decor elegant, and the property expansive. Definitely will stay there again.

    Never again. Made us not want to come back to Disney.

    This was our second trip to Disney as a family and our second time staying at Gran Destino Tower (Club Level) Last year was AMAZING. And is what made us want to come back to stay here. This year was a disaster.. For starters we have several dietary requests one being im highly allergic to strawberries (last year they were very accommodating in Chronos Club and I didn't have to worry not one time in reference to cross contamination, they kept the strawberries items in the back and only brought them out at guests request this year strawberries were everywhere and cross-contamination was real, as we saw multiple people using the same utensils for bon strawberry stuff), we can't eat pork for religious reasons (last year they always had a non pork option available, this year there was not, we had to beg for the non-pork option every morning and they gave us chicken sausage that actually had a porcine collagen casing that mad me sick and we lost a park day) (when we asked the cast member what the casing was, they went to the chef who wrote the ingredients on a napkin and when I addressed that collagen casing can be pork and not listed if it doesn't say what kind I was told by the Chronos Club manager 🤷🏽‍♀️ its says collagen but we will get you some ginger ale). The rest of the time we basically had to purchase our food because we really didnt have any options that were "safe". My youngest daughter fell from the bed and hit her head at 430 one morning and we went to Chronos Club to get ice that morning when they opened (we tried calling the 24 hour number but there was no answer) and I explained what happened. They cast members were very nice, gave ice and offered to have bed rails sent to the room. The manager (same one from the previous day) came over and asked my daughter if she was ok and said good and walked off. The day before we left we went to wash clothes on the 3rd floor laundry. 4 of the dryers were not working and no signs were up. While we were there we noticed black mold on the ceiling everywhere. (We had been smelling a mildewy smell throughout the hotel but didn't think anything of it since we are by the swamps/lakes. But my daughters and I are asthma suffers and have been coughing since we got her and it got worse after we did laundry). I let the cast members in Chronos Club know and they went and go the manager... Who was the same one from all week. She asked did we finish laundry and she was sorry about the mold and that she knew we were leaving today. We said yes we were she said ok well as long as you got your laundry done do you need any ginger ale or anything? I told her No and that we would be contacting guest relations about this visit because we will never be back to this hotel or probably any Disney hotel after this visit.

    Casitas at Coronado

    Beautiful surroundings and much better food options. Swimming pool was nice as well. We will be back for sure to explore the ‘ranchos’ seem bigger and close to a man made beach super relaxing. Bus transportation was frequently and very convenient.
