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.
What ideas come to your mind when you think about what it means to have a great vacation/staycation? Some of the things you might think about are activities that everyone can enjoy, but also making it as stress-free as possible. A time that you can look back at and say: "That was a really good time, we should plan something like that again." Staying at the Coronado was like that, in particular the Gran Destino Tower. When we first arrived, we were greeted by a security guard who will ask you your name, and ID. Once he verified that we were guests, he told us where to drop off our things, where to park, and where to check in afterwards. I dropped off my family, went to park, and when I walked in, I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of people waiting to check out. That particular day it seems the biolife company was on some retreat and I think the entire company was there. (This is very much a corporate meeting/retreat place as there's a convention center on the property) I thought it would take an hour in line just to reach the check in desk, but apparently they were all waiting to just check their bags and a cast member came out and quickly got the chaos organized. It showed me that they've dealt with situations like this before, and took care of it immediately. Ten minutes later I was checking in, no issues at all, and we were able to get a room despite being early. There are about 3 or 4 pools on the property, but the one everyone wants to go to is the main pool (Dig site pool I believe its called) It looks like a huge Mayan site, complete with a slide that is actually a lot of fun to go down even if you're not a kid! Before you know it, you'll have spent hours there. There's a bar right next to the pool that not only serves drinks but also offers, snacks, and light meals like chicken tenders, hummus and chips, that sort of thing. There's also a play yard right next to the pool where there's a ping pong table ,and a giant collect 4 set up as well. The place to eat while you're here is definitely Toledo. We were told by various people how good the food is, but unfortunately though Toledo was not open the days we were there so we ended up having dinner at Bridges restaurant and while the ambiance is really nice, the food could do with some improvement, at least what me and my mother ordered. We told the waiter about it though and he went above and beyond to fix things so overall we left satisfied. Our room at the tower was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and definitely this is a place I would stay at again as a staycation. It felt like a cruise without being on an actual ship, to give you a better idea. Till next time!
"Deluxe quality resort" at a "moderate resort" prices The entire hotel overall, plus our room itself was beautiful and immaculate. Especially with young children, we felt safer here at night going up to our room with all the interior hallways. Super cool new elevators. Nice pool. Close to both Hollywood Studios and Epcot (though you will still need to bus, drive or use rideshare) My only gripe is bus service. If you hate the Skyliner, this is a good place to stay because there's full bus service. However Gran Destino is the last stop zzzzzzzzzz Overall though will definitely choose this hotel again if staying on Disney Property!
This hotel is beautiful!! Staff is awesome and knowledgeable, very clean, and you get what you pay for!! Wonderful experience for me and my family!!
During our most recent trip to WDW, my hubby and I stayed in the Gran Destino Tower at Disney's Coronado Springs. We stayed in a newly renovated room within the regular Coronado Springs property back in October 2020 and thought the room was the best of the moderate resorts. After staying in the Gran Destino Tower a few weeks ago, we were both so impressed and convinced we probably would need to stay (solely) in the tower in future visits to this property. The tower itself is not only new, but extremely modern, decorated well (just enough Disney accent without it being over saturated...loved all of the hidden Mickeys), and pristinely clean. The elevator is super high tech and the room itself reminded me of the junior versions of the rooms you would find in the Deluxe Hotels. With the parks closing earlier, spending time to relax in the room and resort felt like heaven being in a more upscale building/room like the Gran Destino Tower, especially with it not breaking the bank like the Deluxe properties. One major plus of staying in The Tower, is the convenience of accessing the transportation. It is literally right outside the main doors and down a few stairs. If you have stayed on a Disney property resort before, you know it is a gamble about where your room will be located in retrospect to the closest bus stop (or mode of transportation). This may seem petty, but when you've been walking all day at the park, getting to your room quickly makes a difference! Transportation to the parks and Disney Springs are only by bus. Keep in mind that although the bus stop is close to The Tower, Coronado Springs as a whole is a large property and the bus may make a few stops around the resort to pick up and drop off guests. Cast Members are extremely warm and friendly at this resort, especially those working in the Gran Destino Tower. All of the CMs we encountered went above and beyond to ensure our trip and stay were perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better stay at Coronado Springs and the Gran Destino Tower and can't wait to return.
At Walt Disney World's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, if you book the club level room, it will cost you upwards of $900 a night - and includes access to the Royal Palm Club, an exclusive lounge that provides guests with rotating meals (think: continental breakfast, snacks, heavy apps, dessert and *adult beverages*) throughout the day, on each day of your stay. That's right. Every. Single. Day. It is the equivalent of being a guest in beast's castle (culinary cabaret not included). Each of the deluxe level resorts has an option to book club level. However, the Gran Destino Tower at the Coronado Springs resort is the first moderate level resort to offer club level rooms that provide the same amenities as the deluxe resorts, without breaking the budget. At a rate that goes as low as $400 - $600 per night, stock some complimentary Mickey ice cream bars in your mini fridge, and the room pays for itself.
Gran Destin Tower is a beautiful addition to Coronado Springs. It has beautiful Spanish inspired architecture with subtle touches of Disney. We only had a one night stay because that was the only day we could book it. It is the only moderate (so far) that has a club level and we were super excited to check it out. Our stay was the first week of October so the tower was relatively new. The entrance is grand with it's instagram-able walls that change colors are beautiful. We entered from the old entrance, but made our way to the tower from it's first floor. We arrived very early, 7:30, there was 1 or 2 concierge women to check hotel guests in, and it was not busy. We checked in, were given a floor number, but were told that our room wasn't quite ready. She was about to let us go to the park when we asked if we were given access to the club level. She had to check and when she verified we did have access, she took us to the Kronos Lounge. Pros: We were greeted initially by the woman at the concierge desk where she showed us the breakfast offerings. It was about 8 when we got our food and found a table. The breakfast was really good. The food in all courses was fantastic and allergy friendly. The bathrooms are very clean and the views from the lounge are beautiful. Cons: We noticed that other parties were offered mimosas or other mixed drinks throughout the day. Other parties were greeted by the concierge woman at the desk and given their rooms while we continued to wait patiently. When I finally went up to the woman to ask about our room, she told me she was helping another family and she was busy. We had to wait 6 hours for our room and we waited in the lounge the entire time. We were not rude, we didn't push, but we were not happy that others were doted on so much. I had to find our room number through the app and we did not get help from the Kronos concierge desk. Overall while I am disappointed with the level of service, I really enjoyed the room, the food, and the lounge. It is a great place to stay for a convention but it is not convenient for park-going with it's four bus stops (unless you have a car). I am giving it 4 because if we were staying as regular guests, our experience would have been fine. The room (when you eventually get one) is very nice and I like the new construction. The food is allergy friendly and very delicious and these things edge out the fact that the concierge service was horrible to us. Maybe it is because I went with my sister and we appear young, maybe it is because the tower is new-ish, but that should not excuse the fact that we paid good money to stay at the hotel and have access to club level service.
Great addition to the Disney resorts.My review and pictures were from a while back when it 1st open and was waiting for someone to make a page. Standing next to Coronado springs is the Gran Destino tower,beautiful tower full colors and art work..I never knew Walt Disney and Dalí were friends,pictures of them in spots around the hotel. Beautiful property,Restaurants,lounges amenities. This hotel caters to the business travelers a little more due to the convention center next door at Coronado springs, Not much for families since you share the pool next door with Coronado and it is an upgrade if you want to stay here. There is a lot of info about this hotel but I don't want to make it long, so yes nice hotel,great service ,yes Disney prices and enjoy. Only concern and I'm sure Disney is working on separating the Mexican feel of Coronado and the Spain feel of this property because it's still shares the Coronado name...so we shall see stay tuned ..for now enjoy the pictures ..
First and foremost, the place looks great. Secondly, there's not much people so it's not a COVID breeding ground. The facilities are good but there is no room service. The bad: They have this DND sign that allows them to enter your room at any time they see fit. I was sleeping in when suddenly someone bangs on the door like they're the police. After knocking the guy opened the door and seeing the guard lock was flipped, he just hurled an envelope that turned out to be complimentary luggage tags. Fast forward 2 hours, there were 2 raps on the door and someone attempted to come in. I opened the door, the guy apologized and scampered away. WTF right? I called the FD. Spoke to Tate, voiced my complaint and remarked. I need to sleep today, so what do I do put a post out at the door that reads "Do not Fucking Disturb me?" He then said, I shouldn't be "cussing", him. I reiterated it was what I would write on the post it. After that, he deliberately called me sir, I didn't bite. He also then became condescending stating that I should've read the DND sign. Honestly, I've beenin so many hotels, who reads the DND sign anyway? He then said, if not I should Google it. I didn't take the bait either. I was saving it for Yelp lol. JK!. He then told me that a manager would contact me. I said fine. I told everything to the Housekeeping manager Dillon who was nice. Of course I told him everything, the banging, the suspicious staff leaving nothing, embellishing nothing. Dillon then explained that once a day they conduct visual security checks. He mentioned checking for weapons but honestly, who keeps weapons out on the open right? When I asked if they were opening bags, or course he said visual. 30 seconds tops. If I had weapons I wouldn't leave it out in the open.. So the point of discovering weapons or in the open would be what percent? Unless they look in your bags (Not that I had) just saying. So if you want to stay here, make sure you aren't in when they decide to "come in" for a security check. Remember: KEEP THAT DOOR LOCK THING FLIPPED. For those who are on your honeymoon, make sure you're not playing checkers when they come a knocking haha.

We had another fabulous experience staying at Gran Destino Tower. This time, we had club level and it was absolutely fantastic. The club serves complimentary meals and unlimited drinks and snacks. It's well worth the expense if you utilize it for most of your food and drinks. They even have alcohol, desserts, and coffee. We had a lovely standard room with two queen beds. Everything was clean and comfortable. Service was fantastic. I love the pools at this resort. The bar is great. This is one of my favorite Disney properties! read more
We have our favorite WDW resorts and tend to gravitate toward the same ones. I have often heard good things about the tower but have been reluctant to give it a try, until now! What a pleasant surprise this was! I can't speak for the other hotel rooms at this resort, but the Gran Destino tower was wonderful. The tower is beautiful and the rooms themselves felt just like a deluxe resort room (same layout). The only thing I missed was having a balcony to go out to. Their elevator system caught us off guard but was very efficient in getting people where they needed to go with no wait. On this stay, we opted for club-level (which I recommend doing). Everyone at the Chronos club was friendly and helpful, and it was so nice to be able to come and go as we please for snacks and drinks. On our first few nights, we had a resort view room but we were pleasantly surprised to see the water, the grounds, and far off in the distance you could see magic Kingdom (and its fireworks at night!). Overall a great stay, the only thing I do not like is having to rely on buses only to get to the parks. The Gran Destino tower is stop number 1 and yet it was the last stop the buses would make when returning to the resort. This resort also does not qualify for extended hours since it's a moderate resort. read more

Wow!! The Gran Destino Tower is amazing in every aspect. This is the newest tower at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort and it did not disappoint. If you have been to Disney or have stayed in a Disney Resort before you to expect nothing but the best service. This tower is European themed with mainly Spanish details. From the outstanding gym located in the tower to the to the exquisite lounges and restaurant, Gran Destino has it all. With all the amenities Coronado Springs has to offer and a stones throw away from the parks and Disney Springs why not choose Gran Destino for you next Disney Vacation. The rooms are extremely clean and the theming and decor is very simple but elegant as well. I won't say much more, but to get you butts here and enjoy those beautiful tower and resort. Cheers! read more
