IIRC there are no elevators at CBR.
I noticed you used the words "ASKED for a water view." I just want to clarify ... did you REQUEST a water view or did you pay for and RESERVE a water view. I ask this because if you merely requested it, you should know that water view is a separate booking category that costs more per night, and thus if you merely requested it you have a very low chance of getting that request met.We will be arriving in 10 days. I currently have a Pirate Room booked and asked for water view, first floor. After reading this thread, I realize that water view could mean pool or lake. I really want to be close to the beachy area near the playground. Is there a specific building I should request or should I just ask for an area near the beach/playground?
Aruba or Jamaica are both good choices. I would pay for a water view room if you want to be close to the beach. Otherwise you could be at the back of the resort. No elevators at CBR.
I have read they are refurbishing rooms at CBR. Have they done the entire resort or just certain sections?
We have booked preferred locations for our August trip. We requested #26 Martinique. I am just curious if these rooms will have been redone or not when we get there.
Thank you in advance.

Are there any buildings in Aruba or Jamaica that do not face or back on to a parking lot. Wondering if you could request a building were you knew for sure that you would not have a parking lot view. Any other view is just fine.
I think Jamaica 45 & 42 and Aruba 55 & 52 (or even Barbados 15) would be the best non-preferred bet for not facing a parking lot and being very close to the beach. http://www.wdwinfo.com/resortmaps/cbrmap.htm
Thanks Momof2Disneyboys. That was just the information I was looking for. I also wanted to ask you a couple more minor questions:
Do they pipe in music around the pool area and the resort in general and
Are the areas outside the room and paths pretty clean around the resort?
You're welcome!
You know, I'm not sure about the music. It used to be piped through the island, but I'm not sure it was there this time. . .Maybe someone else knows. . . I am pretty sure we still heard it at OPR and the pool.
The outside of the rooms and paths were exceptionally clean on our recent trip (January). I did notice this and commented on it to DH. Whenever we would come back to the room mid-day they were always hosing down the outside of the doors and the paths. One day we were in the room taking a break and we heard them cleaning outside of our room with a pressure washer. When we were ready to leave we had to slowly open our door and make a break for it!!![]()
No.I am wondering which area the standard view pirate rooms are in? Are any of these close to the main pool?
Thanks in advance.
