CSR(with a rehab going on) vs. CBR

[Club Cooloholic]

I have labored about which to pick(based on pool etc) but now I see that there is a rehab that will start at CSR in July. Currently have a standard room there booked for 5 nights at end of August for a total of $755 I was able to scramble and also get a CBR water view room booked but that is a total of $914 so a $159 difference.
Given there is a renovation I have a few questions.
Will it be noisy around CSR? Will there be any renovated room available after just a month or so of work?
Since they are renovating does that mean the rooms will be left to get shabby till they get the renovation?
And an aside, is the CBR pool much better for the little ones to make it worth it?

@Buzz2001 is a Coronado expert so I'm tagging him for you.

Here's a link to his (unofficial) CSR web site.

When they begin the rehab, they will close the building completely so it will not effect you during your stay. I was there during the 2009 rehab and you really won't notice anything unless you walk by a building being worked on.

To me a closed building means less people at the resort. So I'd stick with CSR. It's a beautiful resort and we loved the pool area. My kids are older, so I can't speak to how it would be for "little ones"

I just wonder the shape of the rooms at CSR

Don't know much about CSR but CBR pool is fab for little ones. The wet playground is right by the pool for them to come and go easily, the hot tub is great and the theming is brilliant. The resort is very spread out. Next time I would request a building close to the amenities (including the pool) or might investigate the cost of a preferred room.

I've not stayed at either but the CBR motif does far less for me aesthetically than CSR. I know there are far more dining options on site at CSR, if you want that option, and the sit-down restaurant at CBR is supposed to be the pits.
However, CBR just had their refurb last year (except apparently their pirate-themed rooms?). So you should in theory have a better chance of a room you won't find icked up.

They are rectangular with a corner cut for the door.

I think we lean CBR. I like the CSR motif better but a fresher mattress and zero entry pool are winning out

They do the rehabs every 5 years. The rooms are not in terrible shape but the new management at the resort wants change. The new GM is from Aulani

Does anyone know what buildings they ate starting with?

I was there recently and the rooms are still in good shape. At least the one I was in was.

We stayed at CSR six months ago and our room was definitely not in need of work. I love that resort, and was so bummed to not be able to stay there this year. We're at CBR in November.

CSR is a great resort, rooms look fairly new in my opinion. Only downside is size of resort which they are both large. I'd pick CSR
