Accommodations Review:
|
Nicely decorated. Ours had been recently refurbished - new
beds and mattresses, new curtains, etc. Also had been freshly
painted, and faintly smelled of it! The rooms are fairly small,
but since we spent most of our time at the parks or the pool,
we didn't mind. |
Why Did you Select This Resort for your Stay?
|
Suggestion of friends. |
Room # and Location Description:
|
Jamaica #4211 - near the pool. Jamaica village is very festive,
buildings painted blue and yellow, lots of plants. |
Room Location Pros & Cons:
|
It was fine for us - close to the village pool, not too far
from Old Port Royale's food court and shops. |
Check-In / Check-Out Comments:
|
Quick and easy |
WDW Transportation Comments:
|
The buses ran pretty well; however, those going to the Magic
Kingdom seemed to take longer to arrive than the promised "every
20 minutes." |
Restaurant / Lounge Review:
|
Only went to Old Port Royale once - the food was decent but
there were so many people there, it was chaos! |
Pool Description / Comments:
|
The Jamaica pool was nice - we never ventured over to the
bigger Port Royale pool (kind of a hassle with two little kids),
and our pool was never that crowded. |
What Suggestions Would you Give Anyone that is Considering
This Resort?
|
If you have small children, ask to stay in Jamaica, since
the buses usually pick you up first and drop you off first -
a plus with tired, whiny kids! We also spent the $10/day to
rent a small refrigerator, which we found helpful; it was nice
to always have cold drinks for us and the kids, and not have
to depend on walking over to the food court to get snacks and
sodas. Also - bring your own beach towels!! Otherwise, you have
to use the small bath-sized ones from the room. |

We would definitely stay here again. |
