We just returned this morning from our stay at CBR. We were there Jan 2-9. We usually stay at Deluxe resorts, but this was a last minute trip, and we didn't want to pay Deluxe price, so we stayed here, and enjoyed the resort. We would stay again, but wouldn't be our first choice only because of the ease of the Deluxe and how close they are to the parks.
I had requested Jamaica and ground floor, and we received Aruba 51, ground floor. We had room 5110 and it was a great location. It was close to the bridge and bus stop and enjoyed the ground floor because we have a 2 year old and carrying her upstairs in a stroller isn't all that much fun after a long day in the parks. The room was clean and theming was fun. The grounds of the resort are really pretty and the walk over the bridge is nice. Food at the food court was ok. We mostly used it for breakfast, and DS 12 had dinner there one night, and said his pasta was good. We didn't use the pool because it was too cold and rainy for the majority of our time here, but it looked fun. Housekeeping was fine, and we always had towels, soap, and shampoo. The bus transportation was really good, from resort to the parks, but we had a couple of issues with transportation when we weren't going from the parks to resorts, or back. The signs with bus wait times were up and working when were were there too.
