Hi
I just got back from two trips. One was to POR and the other was CBR. I like POR better overall, but they both have the good and bad points. POR's food court was so much better than CBR's. A lot more variety. POR has the boat to DTD which was fun and relaxing. POR's grounds are just beautiful.
POR's rooms are really in need of an update. Our bed was not very comfortable. It was sinking down on one side, there was a hill in the middle. We were in the Parteree building, which was just a short walk over to the food court and busses. Also, the busses at POR were horrible. We had really long waits for the busses, both going to the parks and back from the parks, My son actually took a bus to Saratoga Springs, then a taxi back to POR, since the line for the bus was so long.
We were in Martinique in CBR, bldg. 25, which is pretty close to the pool and food court. We didn't swim the the POR pool, not enough time, but we did swim in CBR, and the pool and slide were awesome, really a lot of fun. The grounds were really pretty, and the rooms have been renovated. My DGD loved the Nemo theme, and the beds were so much more comfortable than POR's. And CBR's busses were so much better. More of them and not as long a wait.
The main reason I wouldn't stay at CBR is because of the Customs house where you check in, is in a different building than the food court and pool area. On our last day, we had a late flight, and we wanted to swim, so we had to take a bus to take our luggage to ME, at the Custom House, then get the internal bus back to the pool area, then get a bus again to take us to the Custom House to get the ME bus. It was too time consuming. I like everything in one building. I hope that helps you make a decision. I'm sure you'll have a great time, no matter where you stay!!!
