    This is one of our favorite Disney Resorts! Gran Destino tower is relatively new and absolutely stunning. We had a standard room with two queen beds. It was super clean, comfortable, and magical. We enjoyed eating at the resort restaurants and spent most of our time at their huge pool. The grounds are gorgeous and there is so much to do and see. Service is phenomenal and you can't beat the proximity to the parks!

    What ideas come to your mind when you think about what it means to have a great vacation/staycation? Some of the things you might think about are activities that everyone can enjoy, but also making it as stress-free as possible. A time that you can look back at and say: "That was a really good time, we should plan something like that again." Staying at the Coronado was like that, in particular the Gran Destino Tower. When we first arrived, we were greeted by a security guard who will ask you your name, and ID. Once he verified that we were guests, he told us where to drop off our things, where to park, and where to check in afterwards. I dropped off my family, went to park, and when I walked in, I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of people waiting to check out. That particular day it seems the biolife company was on some retreat and I think the entire company was there. (This is very much a corporate meeting/retreat place as there's a convention center on the property) I thought it would take an hour in line just to reach the check in desk, but apparently they were all waiting to just check their bags and a cast member came out and quickly got the chaos organized. It showed me that they've dealt with situations like this before, and took care of it immediately. Ten minutes later I was checking in, no issues at all, and we were able to get a room despite being early. There are about 3 or 4 pools on the property, but the one everyone wants to go to is the main pool (Dig site pool I believe its called) It looks like a huge Mayan site, complete with a slide that is actually a lot of fun to go down even if you're not a kid! Before you know it, you'll have spent hours there. There's a bar right next to the pool that not only serves drinks but also offers, snacks, and light meals like chicken tenders, hummus and chips, that sort of thing. There's also a play yard right next to the pool where there's a ping pong table ,and a giant collect 4 set up as well. The place to eat while you're here is definitely Toledo. We were told by various people how good the food is, but unfortunately though Toledo was not open the days we were there so we ended up having dinner at Bridges restaurant and while the ambiance is really nice, the food could do with some improvement, at least what me and my mother ordered. We told the waiter about it though and he went above and beyond to fix things so overall we left satisfied. Our room at the tower was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and definitely this is a place I would stay at again as a staycation. It felt like a cruise without being on an actual ship, to give you a better idea. Till next time!

    "Deluxe quality resort" at a "moderate resort" prices The entire hotel overall, plus our room itself was beautiful and immaculate. Especially with young children, we felt safer here at night going up to our room with all the interior hallways. Super cool new elevators. Nice pool. Close to both Hollywood Studios and Epcot (though you will still need to bus, drive or use rideshare) My only gripe is bus service. If you hate the Skyliner, this is a good place to stay because there's full bus service. However Gran Destino is the last stop zzzzzzzzzz Overall though will definitely choose this hotel again if staying on Disney Property!

    During our most recent trip to WDW, my hubby and I stayed in the Gran Destino Tower at Disney's Coronado Springs. We stayed in a newly renovated room within the regular Coronado Springs property back in October 2020 and thought the room was the best of the moderate resorts. After staying in the Gran Destino Tower a few weeks ago, we were both so impressed and convinced we probably would need to stay (solely) in the tower in future visits to this property. The tower itself is not only new, but extremely modern, decorated well (just enough Disney accent without it being over saturated...loved all of the hidden Mickeys), and pristinely clean. The elevator is super high tech and the room itself reminded me of the junior versions of the rooms you would find in the Deluxe Hotels. With the parks closing earlier, spending time to relax in the room and resort felt like heaven being in a more upscale building/room like the Gran Destino Tower, especially with it not breaking the bank like the Deluxe properties. One major plus of staying in The Tower, is the convenience of accessing the transportation. It is literally right outside the main doors and down a few stairs. If you have stayed on a Disney property resort before, you know it is a gamble about where your room will be located in retrospect to the closest bus stop (or mode of transportation). This may seem petty, but when you've been walking all day at the park, getting to your room quickly makes a difference! Transportation to the parks and Disney Springs are only by bus. Keep in mind that although the bus stop is close to The Tower, Coronado Springs as a whole is a large property and the bus may make a few stops around the resort to pick up and drop off guests. Cast Members are extremely warm and friendly at this resort, especially those working in the Gran Destino Tower. All of the CMs we encountered went above and beyond to ensure our trip and stay were perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better stay at Coronado Springs and the Gran Destino Tower and can't wait to return.

    Chronos Club (club level)
    Mel B.

    At Walt Disney World's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, if you book the club level room, it will cost you upwards of $900 a night - and includes access to the Royal Palm Club, an exclusive lounge that provides guests with rotating meals (think: continental breakfast, snacks, heavy apps, dessert and *adult beverages*) throughout the day, on each day of your stay. That's right. Every. Single. Day. It is the equivalent of being a guest in beast's castle (culinary cabaret not included). Each of the deluxe level resorts has an option to book club level. However, the Gran Destino Tower at the Coronado Springs resort is the first moderate level resort to offer club level rooms that provide the same amenities as the deluxe resorts, without breaking the budget. At a rate that goes as low as $400 - $600 per night, stock some complimentary Mickey ice cream bars in your mini fridge, and the room pays for itself.

    Gran Destin Tower is a beautiful addition to Coronado Springs. It has beautiful Spanish inspired architecture with subtle touches of Disney. We only had a one night stay because that was the only day we could book it. It is the only moderate (so far) that has a club level and we were super excited to check it out. Our stay was the first week of October so the tower was relatively new. The entrance is grand with it's instagram-able walls that change colors are beautiful. We entered from the old entrance, but made our way to the tower from it's first floor. We arrived very early, 7:30, there was 1 or 2 concierge women to check hotel guests in, and it was not busy. We checked in, were given a floor number, but were told that our room wasn't quite ready. She was about to let us go to the park when we asked if we were given access to the club level. She had to check and when she verified we did have access, she took us to the Kronos Lounge. Pros: We were greeted initially by the woman at the concierge desk where she showed us the breakfast offerings. It was about 8 when we got our food and found a table. The breakfast was really good. The food in all courses was fantastic and allergy friendly. The bathrooms are very clean and the views from the lounge are beautiful. Cons: We noticed that other parties were offered mimosas or other mixed drinks throughout the day. Other parties were greeted by the concierge woman at the desk and given their rooms while we continued to wait patiently. When I finally went up to the woman to ask about our room, she told me she was helping another family and she was busy. We had to wait 6 hours for our room and we waited in the lounge the entire time. We were not rude, we didn't push, but we were not happy that others were doted on so much. I had to find our room number through the app and we did not get help from the Kronos concierge desk. Overall while I am disappointed with the level of service, I really enjoyed the room, the food, and the lounge. It is a great place to stay for a convention but it is not convenient for park-going with it's four bus stops (unless you have a car). I am giving it 4 because if we were staying as regular guests, our experience would have been fine. The room (when you eventually get one) is very nice and I like the new construction. The food is allergy friendly and very delicious and these things edge out the fact that the concierge service was horrible to us. Maybe it is because I went with my sister and we appear young, maybe it is because the tower is new-ish, but that should not excuse the fact that we paid good money to stay at the hotel and have access to club level service.

    Great addition to the Disney resorts.My review and pictures were from a while back when it 1st open and was waiting for someone to make a page. Standing next to Coronado springs is the Gran Destino tower,beautiful tower full colors and art work..I never knew Walt Disney and Dalí were friends,pictures of them in spots around the hotel. Beautiful property,Restaurants,lounges amenities. This hotel caters to the business travelers a little more due to the convention center next door at Coronado springs, Not much for families since you share the pool next door with Coronado and it is an upgrade if you want to stay here. There is a lot of info about this hotel but I don't want to make it long, so yes nice hotel,great service ,yes Disney prices and enjoy. Only concern and I'm sure Disney is working on separating the Mexican feel of Coronado and the Spain feel of this property because it's still shares the Coronado name...so we shall see stay tuned ..for now enjoy the pictures ..

    The DND door thing where you have to read the fine print.
    Joannah Y.

    First and foremost, the place looks great. Secondly, there's not much people so it's not a COVID breeding ground. The facilities are good but there is no room service. The bad: They have this DND sign that allows them to enter your room at any time they see fit. I was sleeping in when suddenly someone bangs on the door like they're the police. After knocking the guy opened the door and seeing the guard lock was flipped, he just hurled an envelope that turned out to be complimentary luggage tags. Fast forward 2 hours, there were 2 raps on the door and someone attempted to come in. I opened the door, the guy apologized and scampered away. WTF right? I called the FD. Spoke to Tate, voiced my complaint and remarked. I need to sleep today, so what do I do put a post out at the door that reads "Do not Fucking Disturb me?" He then said, I shouldn't be "cussing", him. I reiterated it was what I would write on the post it. After that, he deliberately called me sir, I didn't bite. He also then became condescending stating that I should've read the DND sign. Honestly, I've beenin so many hotels, who reads the DND sign anyway? He then said, if not I should Google it. I didn't take the bait either. I was saving it for Yelp lol. JK!. He then told me that a manager would contact me. I said fine. I told everything to the Housekeeping manager Dillon who was nice. Of course I told him everything, the banging, the suspicious staff leaving nothing, embellishing nothing. Dillon then explained that once a day they conduct visual security checks. He mentioned checking for weapons but honestly, who keeps weapons out on the open right? When I asked if they were opening bags, or course he said visual. 30 seconds tops. If I had weapons I wouldn't leave it out in the open.. So the point of discovering weapons or in the open would be what percent? Unless they look in your bags (Not that I had) just saying. So if you want to stay here, make sure you aren't in when they decide to "come in" for a security check. Remember: KEEP THAT DOOR LOCK THING FLIPPED. For those who are on your honeymoon, make sure you're not playing checkers when they come a knocking haha.

    Isn't this Coronado Springs?

    Yes, it's part of Coronado Springs Resort. It's the only moderate resort that has club level which is give or take, 100.00 cheaper than regular room rates at a deluxe resort at WDW.

    Well, this hotel was fabulous. I literally only have two small-ish negative things to say, and it…read moreprobably doesn't affect everyone. PRO's: -Nicely sized rooms - not huge, but not small either. I was assigned to a room with two queen beds, but it was just me, so I had an extra bed to put luggage, etc. on. -HUGE bathrooms, including a separate shower and separate bathtub, and nice amenties. -Excellent customer service - I had some ice packs I needed them to hold on to, in their freezer, and they were able to do that at the bell hop desk for me. -Ridiculously nice pool area - I was staying here for a conference and brought a swimsuit just in case, but as soon as I got to my room the first day - which they upgraded me, to a pool/lake room view, even though I don't have status with Marriott - I knew I had to try out the pool and waterslides. Luckily I had a spare hour before my conference started so I literally ate lunch and then jumped on a water slide, ha. ----There are three water slides: one you require an inner tube for, and the other two you just lay back while on it. CONs: -The area between the toilet and the toilet paper roll is super small. I am not a small person so this is probably why I had an issue, but I ended up just taking the toilet paper off the roll, because it kept hitting my thighs when I unrolled it. -The shower has a handheld area you can use or just the regular shower top (? I forget the name for that). The regular top doesn't have great water pressure, so I ended up using the handheld thing and just keeping it pointed towards me. They have a sign up in the lobby saying that Forbes chose them as one of the nicest properties in the world, I believe, and I can see why. They also have a few restaurants on site, as well as a Starbucks, but most of my meals were included at my conference; I did get Doordash the first day I was there, though. Be aware that for the Starbucks you cannot order ahead on the app, though, and the lines are often long (especially with conferences going on, and there were two while I was staying there, including ours!). I would definitely stay at this hotel again - I wasn't paying for the bill this time but I believe it is rather pricey normally, though.

    The JW Marriott definitely looks and feels like a high-end property. The hotel is polished,…read moreattractive, and has the upscale atmosphere you expect from the brand. That said, the price point is definitely on the high side, so expectations naturally go up with it. For me, the biggest disconnect was the service level, which felt more fair than exceptional. Nothing was terrible, but it did not really match the luxury pricing or the overall image of the property. When you are paying premium rates, you expect service that stands out, and this felt a little more average than memorable. Overall, it is a nice hotel, but at this price level I was hoping for a stronger service experience.

We also enjoyed milkshakes from the malt shop. The room was fine - we had a suite with a little kitchenette and it was spacious enough for a few days. **My only real complaint (and the reason for my lower review) was the quality of the furniture. My daughter was leaning against one of the end tables to plug something in on the other side the night before we were hitting Epic Universe early, and it collapsed below her. She fell on top of it and some portion of it punctured her leg (we think a metal pin that was poking out from one of the broken legs). We contacted hotel management, and they came with hotel security who did some basic first aid and took away the broken tables (the other one also broke from her fall). We're grateful she wasn't injured more seriously (at least that we know of yet), but it could have been so much worse if that pin had punctured a more delicate area of her body. It also definitely made the next day at the park a lot harder for her with leg pain, etc. They really need to upgrade/inspect the furniture to make sure it's safe for guests.

However, after MK fireworks, the boat is infinitely faster than the monorail to the TTC. So if you're here for fireworks and want a hotel that's easy to get to but cheaper than the monorail hotels, this is for you. The theming is also beautiful. It reminds me of Animal Kingdom Lodge in the richness of the theming. There's a 9 am tour of the resort to learn about the art. I didn't take it but that tells you how much amazing art there is. There is a splash pad and two pools. Pretty standard for a Disney resort. The rooms are beautiful and if you're lucky you will have a view of the castle and can watch the fireworks from your room. We stood off floor 6 and watched from a hotel window. It was pretty epic. Even rope dropping the boat was pretty quick and not super busy. It actually is a pretty convenient mode of transportation. I would definitely stay here again.

It'd Italian, I know, but it's also constructed by Americans, right? So to me it was a mix of Italian, but also kitsch. Entering the lobby area, I had a similar feeling. Ornate, grand, but slightly gaudy. It kind of reminded me a Real Housewives circa 2011. Definitely unique to Universal properties, but also a tiny bit dark. There was a bit of a wait at check-in but the staff was on it! So many different needs and questions, and they handled it all. Kelly checked me in and she was awesome. I loved her authenticity, helpfulness, and honestly, she really reset my energy after a long trip in. I didn't get into my room until around 4:15pm. I did request a room in a the West wing, and would probably skip asking for that in the future if the wait will be so much longer. I didn't get to try the restaurants I wanted, I was just so tired. Sal's deli and service was really cute, though! But I wasn't crazy about the sandwich (for another review). The winner in Portofino for me? The pools. I really, really loved the quieter pool away from the big pool with the slide. Now that truly felt like I was not in Orlando. The slide in the other pool is fun! The energy is high, playing top 40 hits and such. Great for kids. But the other pool? Playing old school italian music, with mostly adults, and a true villa feel. I think I would go again with family just for the pool. Though finding your way around can lead you to many stairs and a bit of a "maze" feeling. That part did feel authentically Italian, though!

We spent the majority of our time at Universal, so unfortunately we didn't do full exploring of the hotel. I decided to just do a pros and cons list below of our stay. Pros Express passes are included in the stay! It was super nice to be able to not wait in the general population lines at Universal & Islands of Adventure. Express lines still had a wait, but it was a fraction of the regular line. The hotel was BEAUTIFUL. Everything was well kept and clean. The hotel room and bathroom are extremely spacious. Easy access to the parks! We took a boat ride in the morning and evening to and from the hotel. Cons Something to keep in mind is the hotel is GIANT. I think it's a good thing, but others may not like it if they are trying to get around quickly. I ordered an uber in the morning and it took almost 10 minutes for me to get from my room to the front. Don't order an uber from your room and wait for them to arrive. You should make your way down to the lobby before their arrival or you will miss your ride. The line for the boat at the end of the night from the park was very long. It took about 3 pick ups before it was our turn. I wish they had more boats running at night between the hotel and park. We left the park at around 7pm so I can only imagine the even bigger wait when the park is closing. Overall, absolutely lovely stay! If I am ever able to return, I would need to check out their pool because I hear it's amazing.

We typically hear nothing but good things from other guests as well. We only go to Omni Hotels & Resorts because of the impeccable service.

Check-in/out was very easy, my room was clean, nice and spacious, with a beautiful view. The bar and pool area is huge and so much fun! We all had a blast and really enjoyed each others company down at the pool bar. If I had one thing to note I wished were better, most of the nights there was only 1 bartender at the pool bar, and with our large conference and also probably other guests out there, it was hard to get service. But that guy was working amazingly so it wasn't him, he just couldn't be in multiple places at once! Was pleasantly surprised at how much of a hit the lay river was with us, but we had a blast! Lastly, the party that was put together by the staff was 10/10! Really do appreciate all the hardwork and how much fun we had! Wish I'd thought to take pictures, but I guess I was too busy enjoying myself!

They did not honor our request and gave us a one room with the king bed, then a second room with the queen bed, so the kiddos had to share a bed. That is my biggest complaint, that they didn't honor what we requested at booking. They have multiple pools around the resort. They give you a wristband when you enter. I like that they have an option for a shuttle to pick you up from your cottage to take you to different places around the resort. We never had to wait over 10 minutes for a shuttle to pick us up. The H2O waterpark is included in your stay. (bring your own towels because they cost extra at the waterpark.). I would stay here again, the kids are smaller (age 4 and 6). So I didn't make a fuss about them, not honoring our request for a room with two beds this time. Drinks and food at the bar are definitely overpriced. But that's expected at a touristy resort, so we left the resort for our meals, or cooked.

    We recently stayed at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort and overall had a really enjoyable…read moreexperience--it ended up being a great choice for our trip. There's a lot to love about this resort. The jogging trail and overall scenery are genuinely beautiful and make it feel like a relaxing escape after long park days. The freestyle soda machines were a nice perk, and the food quality exceeded expectations--it felt thoughtfully prepared rather than typical cafeteria-style resort food. Our room was very clean, which always makes a big difference, and the variety of transportation options to the parks was convenient and flexible. For what we paid, the value felt fair, especially considering the amenities. The pool area was also a highlight, and throughout our stay, the employees were consistently professional and helpful. The on-site laundry room was another underrated bonus--it made it easy to head home without a pile of laundry waiting. That said, there were a few drawbacks. We did notice gnats occasionally making their way into the room, which was frustrating. Transportation to Magic Kingdom in particular was inconsistent--the bus took a long time and caused us to miss early entry one morning. One bus driver interaction also stood out, as we were repeatedly corrected about our stroller not being "fully folded" (even though it was), along with strict direction on where we could stand or sit. Additionally, depending on your room location, the walk to Centertown Market can be quite long and inconvenient. The resort is also a bit far from any off-property convenience stores if you need to grab last-minute items, and the lack of a fitness center may be a downside for some guests. Overall, despite a few inconveniences, this was a fun and enjoyable place to stay. The positives definitely outweighed the negatives, and I would recommend it--and would stay here again.

When a vacation room has a door that faces the outside of the property I defined that as a motel and so that perception was immediately disappointing. We also experienced a lot of bugs coming in and out of the room and since you weren't in an interior space, traditional to a hotel, it contributed to having to walk through them. The resort is big in the pool area was nice. Getting from our room to the common area with food and gift shops seemed quite a distance, especially for us with a younger family. Travel to and from the park was convenient, although like any resort, very busy during peak times. Having visited other Disney resorts and resorts outside of the park, we would no longer choose to stay at the Caribbean beach resort.

I experienced a small issue with my Bonvoy account, and Robert Madison immediately stepped in to assist. He handled everything professionally and courteously, making the process smooth and stress-free. When my business in Orlando was unexpectedly extended, I needed to add an extra night to my stay. Once again, Robert Madison made the arrangement effortless and ensured I could remain in the same room without any inconvenience. Robert Madison truly exemplified the level of service and hospitality that the Ritz-Carlton is known for. His outstanding customer service is a major reason I will choose to stay here again in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

The servers were always really nice and attentive and made sure we had towels and the works. We also love that the pool here is heated as it does get windy and chilly in November in Orlando, believe it or not. The pool side menu was also great as they had a variety of stuff like chicken fingers, burgers, chips and salsa/queso. Overall, our stay was 10/10 no notes.
