We just returned from a split Sheraton Vistana Resort/Coronado Springs stay and stayed at SVR November 1 -5. We were placed in the Fountains section and thought the renovated villas were spacious and very nicely decorated. We had a 2-bedroom, so no one had to share a bed and I didnt have to listen to complaints about blanket stealers and kickers. I liked how private the balcony was. It always makes me uncomfortable to sit on a hotel balcony and see the people on other side of me out on their balconies.
We had a $50 resort credit as part of our Orbitz package, which we used for coffee and drinks at the Marketplace every morning. We liked the Marketplace, but wished it would have opened just a little earlier than 8 a.m. When you have to wait in a long line at opening, it can take some time until you get out of there.
The Fountains pool was warm enough for me to go in, which was a big plus in November. I hate cold pools and didnt go in the one at CSR because it wasnt warm enough. We walked around the resort and saw the other pools, some of which appear to be pretty old. The Fountains, Cascades and Lakes pools were the best in our opinion.
The location was very convenient to the parks and probably the closest weve ever stayed to the parks while offsite. While we still think that Marriotts Grande Vista is the nicest placed weve stayed offsite, SVR is a close second and we would stay there again.
