Accommodations Review:
|
Very attractive little villages-we stayed in Jamaica. Inside
of the room was in major need of refurbishment. Old TV, older
air conditioner and an even older carpet. Disappointed in look
and feel of room considering how much you pay above a value resort. |
Why Did you Select This Resort for your Stay?
|
Heard wonderful things about CBR. Including beautiful scenery-which
it was. A wonderful lake, an island and small walkways. The look
of the resort was very nice and relaxing. |
Room # and Location Description:
|
Room 4643 in the Jamaica section, second floor, view of trees,
and parking lot. Outside of the Jamaica villages were painted
in yellow and baby blue. Very fresh and attractive. I liked it
better than some of the other villages that were bright oranges
and reds. |
Room Location Pros & Cons:
|
Jamaica was directly in front of the bridge over Parrot Cay
to the main buildings of Old Port Royale. But it was a walk! No
quick runs for a soda in refillable mugs! But had a very nice
quiet pool and just a minute from the bus stop. As opposed to
buildings in Jamaica such as #44 and #47 which were a bit farther
away from the bus stop. |
Check-In / Check-Out Comments:
|
Fast check in, efficient bell service! Thank goodness we didn't
need to go to that building til the end of our stay--it's miles!!! |
WDW Transportation Comments:
|
WDW transportation is great! The buses left so often and filled
them up quickly. My only complaint would be for villages that
were picked up towards the end, Martinique or Trinidad for example.
Jamaica was picked up 1st but often during such a busy season,
the bus to Magic Kingdom for example was full before it got to
another village. And the bus would drive by and they would have
to wait for another. Otherwise, fast, efficient and worry free. |
Restaurant / Lounge Review:
|
OPR food court was pretty good. Decent pizzas, pastries, snacks
and even pastas. However, Captain's Tavern, the only sit down
was gross and over priced food court meals. |
Pool Description / Comments:
|
The themed pool was attractive but too small to accommodate
all the kids that want to play in the "fun" pool instead of the
quiet pools in each village. |
What Suggestions Would you Give Anyone that is Considering
This Resort?
|
Consider Jamaica if you don't mind a short walk to the food
court! If you want to be close to the food court or the action
of the resort, stay in Martinique or Trinidad North. And be aware
of where the buses start and finish. This whole summer 2000 they
picked up Jamaica first and dropped them off first (at the end
of a long day that was important!). We noticed people at further
stops walking to ours to save time or not get stuck standing! |
