Frommer's Highly Recommended

An American Southwestern theme carries through four- and five-story grand hacienda-style buildings in shades of pink and desert-sand stucco, with terra-cotta tile roofs and shaded courtyards. The pool area, inspired by the Mayan ruins of Mexico, sports a tremendous Mayan temple with cascading water and a twisting water slide. (Watch out for the spitting jaguar -- he will likely surprise you as you pass by!) The rooms are identical in layout to those in the Caribbean Beach Resort, including the small bathrooms. Those located nearest the central public area, pool, and lobby tend to be a bit noisier - the trade off however, is a much shorter walk to all the action. Because it's a convention resort, you'll find extras (such as a barber and beauty shop, a variety of suites, and Wi-Fi access among other perks) not found at Disney's other "moderate" resorts. The nearest park is Animal Kingdom, but the Coronado is at the southwest corner of WDW and a good distance from most other areas in the park; rent a car. Facilities: Restaurant; grill/food court; 2 lounges; 4 outdoor heated pools; kids' pool; health club; volleyball; Jacuzzi; sauna; watercraft rentals; bike rentals; playground; 2 arcades; WDW Transportation System; transportation to non-Disney parks for a fee; business center; limited Wi-Fi access (fee); salon; limited room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service
