Just made reservations for Caribbean Beach for next October!! Just wondering from those who have stayed there recently which village is the best for rooms, location, etc.
Excellent choice! CBR is our favorite Moderate and 2nd favorite resort in all of WDW.
As far as rooms go, unless you booked a Pirate Themed Room, all the other rooms are identical. A king room in Jamaica is no different than a king room in Aruba. The entire resort just went through a room refurb so they are all fresh and new.
As far as location goes, every Village has it's own bus stop and leisure pool so you will never be far from one no matter where you are. The following locations are very close to Old Port Royale (food court, arcade, gift shop, etc) and the Main Feature Pool:
Martinique 21, 22 and 23
Aruba 51
Jamaica 45
Of the above Jamaica 45 is our favorite. They are all the same distance to OPR and the Main Feature pool, but we just love the bright yellow exterior of Jamaica. To us it just screams Caribbean.
I highly suggest you come join us over on the CBR FAQ Thread. Pages 1 and 2 are loaded with just about everything you would need to know about CBR.
