when you book preferred room, where/what building is that? Is that Jamaica, anyone know?
Looking to stay near main building/food etc what would you suggest?

TIA

Added
I just found a map and I see a lot of designated smoking areas. Is there an area that is Not smoking, or it just an area at like every building ??
For us the issue is make or break the resort so your help would greatly be appreciated!!

I love CBR! The only negative thing is having to walk through the designated smoking areas. It wasn't a huge problem, but my nieces have asthma, so walking through those areas was rough for them. Once, there wasn't even anyone there---just a discarded lit cigarette one the walkway.

There may have been an alternate route to go around them, but I didn't fine one.

However, we would definitely go back....it's a beautiful resort, and we love everything else about it!!!

How was the busing when you were there. We have stayed before and the buses were so packed that you couldn't squeeze a pea in btwn people.
One thing I did not like about the resort. But loved everything else

i think that is more of a time-of-year issues, vs. a resort issue.
I went last year in April (our spring vacation week) and never had a problem with packed buses. Never did I (or anyone else) have to stand.
