Siestas Cantina is located at The Dig Site, a catch-all recreation area featuring a massive
Mayan-inspired pyramid, complete with a waterfall that flows into the enormous pool.
There’s a waterslide, a wading pool, a hot tub, and plenty of space to lounge about. Ping
Pong, a playground area, and beach volleyball allow your family to spend a lovely afternoon
playing together. There’s also an arcade (with my favorite – massage chairs!) and a great
change room with towels, showers, and bathroom facilities. At night, you can enjoy roasting
marshmallows at a bon fire or catch an outdoor film at Movies Under the Stars.
In case you’re looking for more activity, there’s a scenic running trail that was actively used
throughout the day. For a slower pace you could simply take a stroll around the resort or
rent a Surrey bike! There are lots of lovely places to stop and rest and take it all in.
So, if like me, you’re a nay-sayer when it comes to Walt Disney World’s Moderate Resorts,
give Coronado Springs a try and let it whisk you away with it’s relaxing tempo, spacious
grounds, and well-appointed rooms. Don’t forget to have some of those churros… yes,
they’re that good.
