I'm trying to think outside the box, and consider a different resort--haven't done this one, just never appealed to me. Was looking around though, and it doesn't look bad, but are those big snakes decorating the pool, running down the pyramid?....That would be a dealbreaker for me, looking at those things...lol. I can't see the pix too well......
With or without the snakes, the pool is pretty awesome.You'll definitely like staying at Coronado.
Spend a few hours at the bar by the pool there and the snakes start moving as well..
Its a very good resort, i think it gets a bad rep. I have found it to be a great place to stay. The only drawback is the long walks, but the pool is great, the Pepper market is one of the best counter services and the service is terrific.
They definitely aren't snakes! I think they're supposed to be tangled jungle vines growing on the "ancient ruins" of the pyramid, so no worries! :thumbsup: CSR is a beautiful resort. I stayed there last October and loved everything about it!
Yes, that's it :thumbsup:Quote:

I think the upper part is, but there are those two fanged mouth-looking things, and now I have it in my head that they are snakes, which will not have me relaxed and tranquil at the pool, lol.Quote:

The resort does look beautiful, and I guess I just never have really looked at it much. I dismissed it at some point thinking, "I don't like the SW look", but I was surprised at how pretty the rooms are. Maybe another trip when I am not planning on a lot of pool time. ;)
My mom has always told me "If you're having trepidation beforehand its then that you should fix the situation." I'd swap resorts to save yourself the stress, no need for that on vacay.
:mickey: Yes, we hadn't booked it: I was just considering. I have a snake phobia, and we just had an episode here where one kept crawling in and out of the weephole 'into' my house, right where the grandprincess and I walk to my vehicle. DH assured me it couldn't get into the actual house, just behind the brick, but I was a wreck. He killed it as it slid up in there the last time. Too much!Quote:

If it's such an issue, just go to one of the quiet pools. ;)
Whats funny to me is that after reading this I want to stay there now!! I love snakes personally and think that pool sounds kinda awesome now lol Takes all kinds I suppose.
We stayed there once and I don't remember thinking those things at the pool looked like snakes.
However, we were once at POR and there was an actual snake in the pool. My kids had just entered the pool when there was somewhat of a commotion. Sure enough there was a snake in the pool with guests. The CM calmly took the snake out with some sort of long stick, and all was good!
Yes, definitely does! :rotfl: :laugh:Quote:

:rotfl::thumbsup: No problem. We actually didn't go in the pool at all when we stayed at POR. It's going to be a big part of this trip. :mickey:Quote:

Perhaps we'll try it another time. Our goal is to stay at all of them at some point. :wave:Quote:

:sulley:
Have decided to make it CBR again--really one of my favorites. Just love that tropical feel, and this is kind of our combination beach/Disney little trip. I've been surprised at the number of responses to my casual post, and will def give the CSR serious thought another time. :wave:
(I still hate snakes, though....;))
Actually, it's supposed to represent a temple such as ChIchen Itza which had these figures on the sides of the steps. Very good copy really. It's actually the Mayan god Kukulkan or feathered serpent. So, if it helps it's not a snake but an idol.Quote:

By the way my wife didn't know what she was getting into the first time we went into "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience" She never went to that show again.
