Caribbean Beach Resort

I am booked there for April. After talking to my home travel agent, who goes there quite often I decided to go with the preferred rooms at CBR. She did say that if you stay farther away you can walk across the middle of the lake and it is not as far (when not raining). Each section has its own pool, but I want to be near the main pool as I have a toddler.
Cannot wait to be there

We stayed at the CBR in 2005, I think - right before they did the Pirate themed rooms. So I can't speak to the current conditions of the rooms, but I can provide our insights to some of your questions!

We were in the Jamaica building, which is across the water from the main area - Old Port Royale. We thought it was a great location - a pretty quick and simple walk across the bridge to the restaurant, main pool, etc. The grounds we really pretty and the sandy beaches with hammocks were nice.

Each morning we walked or jogged around the entire complex, and I will say in my opinion, the building furtherest out - Trinidad South, esp. buildings 37, 38 and 39 - is quite a haul. If I thought I'd be going to the main building alot, I would consider driving unless time was not of concern.

As 6sixgees notes, each building has it's own pool, which we took advantage of. It was hardly used while we were there, as most people went to the main pool. That worked well for us!

There's also a place to rent paddle boats over by the main building, which we did once just for fun.

We had our own car, so I can't speak to the bus transportation, though we've heard it can be tiresome with all the stops.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay there. Every time we start planning a trip, I think about booking there again; however, I still am totally in love with POFQ so we end up there instead

We stayed here about 4 years ago. I think we stayed in "Martinique". The rooms were very nice and clean. It was a regular standard room. Very tropical motif. This resort is VERY BIG. There were a lot of stops on the bus route. If we stayed here again we'd definantely request "Old Port Royale". That was the closest to the food court and pool.

We were there back in October and stayed in a pirate room. It was a fair distance to the main building but my husband discovered a shortcut by cutting through various hallways. Now the pirate rooms were ok but we felt they needed a bit of TLC. We had our own vehicle and did drive down to the main pool a few times but that was because we were worn out by all the walking at the parks. Our quiet pool by the room was quite nice but the main pool was awesome!!

That pool is fantastic! It looks straight out of the ride "Pirates of the Caribbean"!

We stayed there in October and stayed in Jamaica, like JeffC. We did NOT pay for a preferred room, though, so just request Jamaica if you can. It was a short jaunt over to the Old Port Royale area (where the pool and restaurant are located) if you used the bridge across the lake. There were many stops so it was often a long bus ride at the end of the night, but it really only bothered us when the bus was full and we were standing. The CBR rooms were just so-so in my opinion. Nothing wrong with them, per se, but I probably wouldn't choose to stay there again. I've heard other people say great things, though, so it's all personal preference!

I agree. I prefer the decor of Port Orleans Riverside or French Quarter over CBR. It depends on the theme you're looking for too.

I think the regular rooms are queen beds, just the "Pirate" beds are double.
