Looking at requesting a room for my holiday are there any that are worth saying or buildings that seem better than the other thanks
 
If you're booked standard, we love Jamaica 45. It's a very short stroll across the bridge to OPR and the main pool. Aruba 51 is also nice.
 
Ditto what Dan said -- I was just in Aruba 5408 and it was about a 10 minute walk to get to OPR. Not horrible, but just far enough to say the heck with the refillable mug.

If you reserve a preferred location room you'll get Trinidad North, or Martinique, both of which are right next to the main pool/concierge/gift shop/food court area. I think those preferred room upgrades are well worth the up charge. Plus, you'll know the area you'll definitely be placed in.

I have had times at Disney that I got my exact room request, and times that the room I was assigned couldn't be farther from the requested location.
 

We are Caribbean Beach regulars and we love Jamaica building 44 or 45. A short and beautiful walk over the bridge to Old Port Royale, bus stop right behind buildings, some great views, and quiet pool right there. You can't go wrong! Enjoy your amazing stay. We love the resort. pirate:
 
Martinique building 25 is my favourite at CBR.

Close to Old Port Royale, the main pool & right between 2 bus stops. A quiet pool that overlooks the lake is one building over & is usually like having a private pool..

Heaven!

I felt the same way about Jamaica 44. It is non preferred and isn't that far away from the main building, but far enough away to be inconvenient. If I stay at CBR again I will definitely book a preferred room.
 
Thank you I think ill def arrange for a preferred room as my mum can't walk to far anyway especially doing the parks
 
We stayed standard first week Dec. Aruba 56. It was just too far from anything, even the quiet pool and beach area. The room was nice but just not worth the $$ difference from a value resortfor lack of location. We did not make a request; I messed up not doing so. I also didn't make a ressie early enough and there were very few rooms available at any resort. I wish I had paid $100 total more and gotten better location, but we were at top of budget... But if I had known in advance things would have been different. And for what it is worth, we like value resort food courts better.
