On our most recent Disney trip 0ct. 24th- Nov. 2, 2010....we stayed at Caribbean Beach....and we both LOVED it. 
Room- Our room was 4236 in Jamaica. The room was extremely spacious and very clean. The bright colors and ample lighting made the environment very cheerful. There was plenty was drawer space and the furniture looked brand new. Everything appeared to be be basically brand new...including the mattress. The only tiny compliant I had was that the mattress was rather firm...but that was not a big deal.
I have stayed at other Disney resorts and the fridges didn't work well..the fridge in room 4236 got our drinks ice cold. The air conditioner also worked superbly. I would rate the room a 9.5 out of 10.
Dinning at CBR- One of our favorite meals of our trip was the CBR's table service restaurant Shutters. I got the Jerk crusted tuna with a double order of black beans as my sides, which was very tasty. My DBF had the Char-Crusted New York Strip...which he said was the best steak of the trip. I really don't understand why this restaurant gets such dreadful reviews.
Perhaps those who don't like it are not familiar with the type of spices used in Caribbean cooking. I would urge anyone to try out Shutters...I think by giving the restaurant a chance you will have a great meal and be pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the friendly wait staff.
The food court at Old Port Royal.. was also nice. They had the typical standard breakfast and lunch faire...as well as a couple healthier options..ie. greek salad, vegetable soup, black bean burgers. The people working at Old Port Royal were all very pleasant and helpful. Although we enjoyed our meals at Old Port Royal...we still prefer the Pepper Market at CSR. The quality of the food at Pepper Market seemed to be better than at Port Royal.
Grounds- The grounds at CBR were very pretty and well maintained. We enjoyed the lush tropical feel of the resort. The pools were fabulous and there were plenty of chairs available. The shower/bathroom area by the main pool was spotlessly clean. It was great to layout by the pool and soak up the sun.. while listening to the Caribbean style music play in the background.
We will most def. return to CBR...and would highly recommend it to anyone who likes an island type of atmosphere.
