Hope it's not a disappointment to you. And I hope your entire trip has and will continue to be wonderful

We've always moved from the less expensive resort to the more expensive one. I have no experience with your scenario.

We enjoyed our stay at the Coronado. We found it to be very nice, and we LOVED Pepper Market.

It's all good...

Our room has the new beds, BUT it has not been re-done, we laughed at the size of the tv, but as my husband stated...we aren't here to watch tv.

The room is big enough for the air-bed, which is good.

Only problem is mold on the shower curtain, but not a big deal.

All staff has been very friendly!!

I'm glad you are enjoying the Coronado. Sorry to hear that the room isn't entirely done, but it still sounds like you're having a nice time!

We have stayed at the Poly three times and the CSR seven times. We prefer the CSR (we never do CL--we don't need or want it). Don't get me wrong, we love the Poly, but we just love the CSR more. We get everything we need at CSR without the cost of the Poly (and the CSR has a spa which I use every trip and the Poly does not). Sorry you didn't get one of the new rooms. But they've only completed the 4th floor of Casitas 1 and the new Club Rooms in Cabanas 9B (they are currently working on the 4th floor of Casitas 2 and 3 and Cabanas 9A). The total rehab will not be done until October 09.
