Hello all! We just arrived home this morning from a nearly 2 week stay at CBR.
An honest review:
When we first made it to the resort I was a little apprehensive, just because we usually stay at Pop Century and I was a little sad to be staying somewhere else. It was really pretty but it just didn't feel like Disney and something was off. The bathroom was kind of small and the room wasn't all that interesting. This continued for a few days but we slowly started warming up to it. We were in building 23 of Martinique so we were fairly close to the food court. It wasn't too much of a walk.
By the end we really loved it and it was really beautiful. I loved laying out in the hammocks on the beach and the sitting area outside old port royale. I didn't really care for the room much, for some reason, but the rest was great. The sitting area outside our room was really nice and it was pretty quiet. I give it a thumbs up, but we will probably try a different resort next time!
We considered staying at AOA for a few days but the price was outrageous and decided to skip. We went to visit AOA and we were happy with our decision to stay at CBR for the rest of the time. We actually utilized the buses this time, even though we drive. They were not our favorite things and it seemed to take forever. We're kind of impatient so we only took them a few times.
We rented a 2 person surrey bike and while it was cute, it was a lot of work!
Getting up that hill over by Jamaica was torture, not to mention the heat, we actually broke a sweat! My brother and I had a good time playing air hockey in the arcade though! I was pretty upset that for most of our trip they were out of White Citrus Iced Tea that I was so excited about. The last 3-4 days they finally got it fixed and filled up. We only ate at the food court once, I had a pizza. It was pretty good. Another morning I got a yogurt granola parfait, and it was pretty gross, unfortunately.
We never went swimming, despite planning on it. I wanted to sit out and watch a movie one night but never got to do that either. However one of my favorite parts of vacation was sitting outside old port royale with my dinner, alone, watching some dad's play tag with their kids near the fountain. They were all laughing and it was a good time watching them have fun.
We felt like we had 2 vacations because our resort days were so relaxing and such a nice change of pace from our park days.
I don't imagine there's any scuttlebut about that???
We love CBR as it is, but getting queen beds would just be the icing on the cake! 
That is the only thing that keeps me awake at night in staying there, the full size beds. My husband is tall and I don't know how the kids will do sleeping in a full size. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. August, August, August...lol
