Caribbean Resort?

[#7ismynumber]

Hey, thinking about staying at the Caribbean Resort. Has anyone stayed there and if so any reviews or suggestions?

Thanks

We stayed there in '04. We really enjoyed it. We were in a preferred location, Martinique 26, it was close to Old Port Royale, the pool and the bus stop. We are not staying there this year partly because of the bed sizes. My DS is 12 and DD is 8. We are staying in a Deluxe so we can have queen sized beds instead of doubles.

Enjoy, we were happy there.

Know lots of folks that have stayed there and loved it, including one that has it as her favorite. The one thing is to get a room in the area you want to be near, it is pretty spread out.

Our only stay there (I should say attempted stay) was our worst experience on property in over 30 trips. Probably just bad luck for us, based on what I have heard.

We stayed there twice last year and really liked it alot. We drive so I don't know how the bus transportation is. Also, we never ask for any special building. I think we stayed at Jamaica once and maybe Trinidad North but I'm not really sure. We don't go to the main building much or the main pool so closeness doesn't matter to us. I liked the quiet pools in each area and we went swimming a few times in those pools. I also liked the food court and the shop. I don't know why but I really liked the shop alot. Go figure. If you want to see pics, send me a PM and I will send them to you.

DH and I stayed at the CBR in August for our anniversary. We loved it! I have heard people say they hated it and can't for the life of me figure out why. Our room was great. Best we have stayed in. It is spread out so research and ask for a certain village when you make reservations and follow up on this a week in advance and when you check in since they can only request but not promise you a certain building or room. We stayed in Aruba and it is just across the bridge from OPR and the food courts. We didn't care about the large pool since each village has their own quiet pool and our room was just above the pool for our village. I loved the hammocks on the beach. The food court and gift shop were great. It is a beautiful resort but spread out. There are buses that go around the resort just to each village and OPR and there are buses that stop at each village to go to the parks. We didn't notice that they were any more crowded than any of the other resorts. It was nice to get off at night right by our building and not have far to walk to the room. We would go back to this resort in a heartbeat!

Ive stayed there in 2006 and 2007 and its a lovely place to relax .The private pools are a decent size and the food court has alot of variety .Scenically its a beautiful place to look at and admire especially around the lake area ...

The main pool area is always busy and the little cocktail bar in that area is a lovely place to relax in the evening ..

Have fun
