Barcelona Lounge

This quiet little lounge is located at Disney's Coronado Resort in the Grand Destino Tower, right off the lobby. They are open for breakfast and then again in the afternoon/evening. This is what it says, a lounge. We have been here a few times, mainly for breakfast but have also visited in the afternoon for a cocktail. You will not need to be staying at Coronado to visit, however, it might be difficult to park here if you are not staying or do not have a reservation. Disney has been getting tougher on parking at the resorts. I personally prefer breakfast, if I had only ever been here for breakfast, my rating would be higher. It can be busy at breakfast since the Tower really only has this for food and coffee. If you are looking for a bigger, more options, breakfast, you need to head to the original part of the hotel. There are a few grab and go items and a few hot items available in the morning. There are also coffee options such as lattes and espressos. They have a few tables around as well as seating outside on the lawn (just a few chairs). This is very comfy, with large booths and lounge chairs. I feel like the thought is grab and go or take back to your room as there was never enough seating for the amount of people in line. It is also very beautiful inside with high chandeliers, lots of light from the high windows and views of the lake. My rating of 3 is due to the last time we checked in. We came in the afternoon, wanting a cocktail before heading to their other bar, Dahlia Lounge. They open about an hour and half before Dahlia Lounge opens so we thought it would be a good place to sit. We sat at the bar, which has a ton of seats. After sitting down, it took about 15 minutes for someone to actually come over to us, even with multiple eye contact, smiles and such to get their attention. At one point, the bartender even came over on our side, and did not even look at us. They just continued to help people walking up to the middle of the bar and the guests sitting on the other side. I finally went up and asked if we had to order in the middle, and we were told, "No, I'll be there in a moment". Which took a few more minutes. Once we ordered, he passed our order over to the other bartender. We just really felt not wanted and almost a hassle even though we were ordering drinks. We would have left, but we were not in a rush and still around 45 minutes till the actual place we wanted to go was opening. My wife was highly annoyed so just ordered an espresso. It was made fresh from a very nice espresso machine. It was fine. I ordered a Cafesito Delicioso - Kamora Coffee Liqueur, Licor 43, Espresso, and Heavy Cream. A lot of their coffee drinks with alcohol are made with heavy cream. However, a plus for the bartender, was she offered to make it without the heavy cream and just used milk, instead. She overheard me talking about the cream with my wife. I did think that was very responsive and nice of her. We didn't order but, they also offer some small snacks such as hummus and charcutier items at the bar. It's pretty quiet here in the afternoon and actually very peaceful. All in all, this is a lounge, nothing more. It's decent, nothing I would brag over and over about. I think service is better in the morning, but it could have been an off day last time we went. If you are staying here, I would say go. I would not suggest making a special trip to the resort just to come here.

This lounge is located at Disney's Coronado Resort. It is open for breakfast and then again in the afternoon/evening. It is essentially just a bar but at breakfast they do have more options. We have been here a couple of times both when staying at Coronado and then again when just visiting the resort. You do not need to be staying here to come here. For breakfast they have a few grab and go items as well as a few hot items. They also offer specialty coffee options. When we stayed here, we ate here for breakfast since it was close to our room. This lounge is located in the new Grand Destino Tower, where we stayed. There is a larger food dining area in the original area of the resort. The lounge is also attached to a nice seating area with lots of tables, booths and chairs. The view is of the lake around the resort as well as high windows. It's actually very pretty inside. Recently we were visiting the resort and decided to grab a drink before the other lounge was open. We did not have the best service this time. We sat down at the bar, which is actually really massive. It took about 15 minutes for someone to actually come over to greet us even with multiple eye contacts with the cast members. There were two people working the bar, but they kept taking care of other people sitting at the bar and people just walking up to the bar. The service was very poor. Once one of the bartenders came over, we ordered, and he ended up passing out order over to the other bartender. We just really felt not wanted and almost a hassle even though we were ordering drinks. We were not really in a rush since we had about 45 minutes till the actual place we wanted to go was opening. I ended up ordering an espresso since I was highly annoyed. It was fine, it was made fresh, they actually have a really nice espresso machine. My husband ordering a Cafesito Delicioso - Kamora Coffee Liqueur, Licor 43, Espresso, and Heavy Cream. He didn't really want the cream, but the bartender did let him know they could make it with just milk not heavy cream. I did think that was nice of them to make that suggestion and substitution. In the afternoon, they also offer some small snacks such as hummus charcutier items. It's pretty quiet here in the afternoon since most people are at the parks. It was very peaceful actually. All in all, this is a lounge, nothing more. It is pretty good, not a ton of options but definitely a stop around the resort. I would suggest breakfast more than afternoon lounging as I thought the cast members were nicer in the AM.

This bar is beautiful. In the morning it serves breakfast. The croissants are so flaky and delicious. We had them several times during our visit. We also really enjoyed the coffee options. At night it transforms into a lovely cocktail bar with so many tasty drinks.

We came here for drinks and to watch the Fireworks from kind of the side of the hotel for Disney's Hollywood studios. The drinks were good. The service was fast and the ambius was really chill, something that you would like if you were enjoying a day at the parks and you just want to unwind for a little bit.

Some friends and I were visiting the resort and decided to grab a drink at the bar while we waited for the rest of the group. I went with their margarita and as a lover of margs, I can say that this one was really good! It's a great open area bar with plenty of seating. The bartender was very friendly and it was the perfect beverage while we waited!

I will admit this was our second choice because we had hoped to hop into the Dhalia lounge prior to dinner but they don't open until 5pm. We did enjoy our drinks! The espresso martini was perfect. They pull fresh espresso shots which happens very rarely so I suggest it. Bonus points for the view and the large menu of drinks and snacks! The one thing that bothered me is that the male server (I'm going to choose to not call him out by name here) didn't seem that excited to serve anyone. It was maybe just not his day.

David serves the best Espresso Martini on the planet. I trust a Colombian with my life when it comes to coffee!

Miguel knows exactly what someone needs in the morning: a cafe bombón! Make sure you stir it if you get one. It is delicious and sweet and strong and heavenly. The service is great and fast. The whole bar area is excellent for any time of day and has many hidden Mickeys.

Barcelona Lounge is a gorgeous bar with creative cocktails and relaxed atmosphere inside the Gran Destino Tower at my favorite Disney moderate resort, Coronado Springs. They have a few light bite offerings as well which you can't go wrong but their service is really something that shines. Our favorite bartender Ryan makes a fabulous espresso martini. They have a wide variety of liquor options. You definitely have to try for yourself while visiting Disney.

Cool lounge in the main location of Coronado Springs. Servers were not very friendly, but they seemed to be chatty with other patrons. Did not have any food.
