I spent the 2nd half of my Star Wars May trip at CSR recently. I got the Cabana section 8b, on the side of the building closer to the dig pool and bus stop rather than the side I had before near the laundry room and a quiet pool.
I had loved loved loved CSR my first stay there in April 2012...And while the resort still has the scenic stillness and the Dig Pool never ceases to amaze me as I enter the area and exit the area because of the landscaping and terrain, I was overall disappointed with this last stay.
It was much more crowded, maybe that was a reason and the people staying at Cabana 8b were pigs. Every night when we would get back to the resort late, trash was all around our Cabana. It was such nasty looking trash I didn't even want to pick it up and dispose of it. One night a pile of trash was so huge by the elevator I walked back and took the stairs even though my feet were killing me.
I don't really blame Disney or the resort staff for this.
The room felt kind of dated too, but mousekeeping was faithful about cleaning daily for me.
Loved the choices at the Pepper Market and what I tried was quite good. I still think Captain Cooks and Artist Palette are the best resort quick service restaurants though.
The hot tub wasn't working during our stay in May and that was disappointing.
Dig Pool had lots of chairs for lounging and spent some relaxing pool time there.
