We just stayed there last month and loved it. I love the Caribbean theme and it has the best pool area of the mods--multiple slides and a water play structure that the kids loved. We enjoyed the food court and I will point out that we got a preferred room in Martinique, so we were close to the main building and pool and our bus stop was usually the first pick up, so we almost never stood. It's a very pretty resort with beautiful vegetation and we loved just walking around--very relaxing. The evening movies and the view of IllumiNations were nice, too, as we had 14-month olds and they couldn't make it out for 9 pm or 10 pm fireworks.
Yes, the beds are smaller. That is really my only complaint. I really don't feel that it is "too big" of a resort, but we like walking. If they got queen beds here, as is rumored, I would think this is one of the best resorts for the money. The pool area really is phenomenal.
As for the constant complaints about the buses, I don't get it. Even if you have to go to all 7 stops, that doesn't take too long and it's better service than most of the deluxes get with having to visit multiple DIFFERENT resorts (which takes forever with the transit time inbetween and the entry gates). I thought bus service here was faster than at Wilderness Lodge. It's slower than Pop but the trade-off is that you don't have to wait in a queue line in the sun to get on the 4th bus that comes by. You sit on a bench under a roof and calmly get on your bus. No value resort pandemonium, as I call it.
By the way, I have stayed at all 4 mods.
