Carribean Beach VS Cornardo(sp?) Springs

The same, and then again, different.
I have found all of the rooms at the moderate resorts nearly identical. They are all about the same size, similar quality in build and finish. What you want to look at is location, and layout of the resort.
Coronado Springs was built as Disney's answer to a convention hotel. It is often full of business people there only to attend meetings. It has large meeting areas, and is designed to accomodate those visitors. It is very spread apart, and most amenities are not designed for the average traveler. One plus is that the pool is great, and never crowded. It is also out of the way unless you are headed for AK.
Carribean Beach is huge. It is nicely laid out, with seven (I believe) separate villages that have their own pool, etc... It isn't too far to walk to the main pool and restaurants from anywhere in the resort. It is also nicely located. Not far from Disney-MGM or EPCOT.
If you have the choice, I would lean toward staying at Port Orleans Riverside. Everything is close together, yet it is heavily wooded so it feels like you are isolated. The food court is great, as is the pool. Access is great to the parks and downtown Disney.
Good luck, I hope that helped!

We had to make this decision, but Coronado wasn't in the running, because I don't really like the resort.
It was either Caribbean or either of the Port Orleans resorts.
We chose the FQ and I have to say after seeing PO riverside I would have much rather stayed there, but FQ was still more than enough.
I would agree with disneycentral and say forget Coronado and Caribbean and go with PO Riverside.

I personally would choose the Carribbean. We've stayed there several times and it's a really nice hotel. The atmosphere, although it can be busy, is really nice. They have some nice surroundings, plenty of water activity and some really nice trails for bike riding or jogging. The main pool area is really lively and a lot of fun, especially if they still have the live band at night. It's very "beachy" if you like that sort of thing and very romantic.
We visited Cornonado once and I didn't care for it as much. Although we didn't stay, so I can't say too much.
