Please get me out of here
I was here for a conference. Horrible experience. The restaurants are terrible. There is only a food court and one other restaurant open for breakfast and lunch in an area with extremely high ceilings which means you will dine to the sounds of children screaming no matter the hour of the day. Housekeeping only shows up every other day if you are lucky. You can't get a door dash or any type of delivery to your room and oh by the way you will literally walk almost a mile from the main building to your room dragging your suitcase. I feel like I am stranded on a Disney cult compound with screaming toddlers. I can't wait to leave and I will never be back.

Absolutely fabulous
Can't say enough good things about our time here. Beautiful art , lots to do and see. Delicious food and drink. Amazing rooms . You won't want to stay anywhere else after you've been here. Definitely check it out even if your just looking around or grabbing a bite to eat. This is a knee of a kind experience.

Gran Destino Tower
TL;DR - We loved it! This is where we will be staying from now on. I didn't think we would ever find the right fit for us at Disney World. We finally found it, and it's not even a deluxe resort. Which is difficult to believe because the service & amenities at club level well exceeded our expectations. The Gran Destino Tower is located at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. It still feels new even though it has been open since 2019. We loved everything about it. It's fresh & modern. The décor is absolutely beautiful! I could have spent all day taking pictures around this building, but we just wanted to relax and enjoy our stay. The service starts before you leave your home. Disney Signature Services calls to ask if you have any allergies, questions, or concerns. This is when we found out that the Chronos Club would be available to us even before being assigned a room. It opens at 6:30am for coffee. They start serving a hot buffet breakfast at 7:00am. What is cool is that the Barcelona Lounge in the lower lobby also opens for breakfast at 6:30. There are options before you even get on that bus to leave for your theme park destination. The bus is the only complimentary transportation at this resort. If that's a problem for you, then you may want a resort that's closer to the theme park or that has access to the Skyliner/Monorail. We've stayed at Disney's Riviera and the Contemporary resorts in the past. It's nice to have that 2nd option. At the same time, we've never had an issue with their bus transportation. We used Bus Stop 1 the entire time. There are 4 stops at this resort, but our stop always seemed to be the last stop before going to the park. We received a notification that our room (9565) was ready at around 2pm (automated check-in). We originally were thinking it would be the 9th floor because they do have club level rooms on floors other than the 15th. But then, the app showed that the room was on the 15th floor. It's kind of a strange room number system. We walked all the way down the hall and immediately recognized the Magic Kingdom off in the distance through the hallway window. The MagicBand was our room key. All went well unlocking the door. The room was spacious and clean. It was the perfect size for 2 people. The couch was extremely comfy for a hotel. It had everything that we needed. There was even a great view to watch the fireworks from EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. I think the most relaxing part of our stay was the Chronos Club. We checked in at the concierge desk immediately upon entering. The level of service here is fantastic! We were offered a seasonal drink from a list of 3. The Sugar Plum Punch was very good. The lounge is decorated so beautifully. There is Christmas music in Spanish, and lots of game boards for kids and adults. The view of Hollywood Studios was even closer at this part of the hotel. I can see why people head over here and the Dahlia Lounge to view them. I think the best buffet times were breakfast and dessert. They start serving bite sized desserts at 8:00pm. They were actually good quality type desserts such as Horchata Cheesecake and Lemon Olive Oil Cake. I was thankful that they immediately offered me a box to take what I wanted back to my room. What I liked best was that you could grab & go any of the items. They even had snacks such as KIND bars and veggies that you could take to the park. The bottled water and canned sodas were always available. I could go on & on. It's really true what they say about the Gran Destino Tower. It's a moderately priced resort with a deluxe feel. The club access makes it pricier, but it's still less than if you were to stay at a deluxe resort. Some deluxe resorts at Disney World don't even have club access. Honestly, I think even a non-club room in the tower would be great. You have access to everything at Coronado Springs. We will return! There's so much to see, and I feel like I didn't get a chance to really walk around to enjoy the outdoor scenery at the resort. It will be a longer stay next time.

Nice
This resort is really nice. I was next to a very loud machine but when I closed the door I heard nothing. Great theming! Beautiful resort. Beds so comfortable! I was in the cabana section and was very close to the main food court. Lots of food options. Food was good. Pretty close to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. I loved it here and would stay again.

Restaurants not Disney Standard
The resort rooms and landscape are 5 star. We were upgraded which never happens to us from All Star so must say we were thrilled. Upon arrival they again upgraded us to a room close to the main building. Lovely landscaping and pool areas, staff was Disney Excellent as always. Loved that the buses were direct to the park. Reason for 3 stars is restaurants, the variety and quality at quick service is an embarrassment for Disney Hotel, we tried Rix but due to lack of servers they could only seat us at the bar which is ok once but… Three Bridges is lovely setting but prices seemed high so we stuck with appetizers. This hotel is not in our budget so we will return to AllStar next visit unless WDW wants to upgrade us to Port Orleans
