Caribbean Beach Resort Pools

[kennylaf]

I am considering booking a week at CBR 09/06-09/13. I have 2 small kids, 6 and 3, and see that the main pool area will be closed until mid September. Two questions...Anyone think they will have the main pool area open by then, I know they say the 15th..but you never know. Also, If not how are the slides they have added to the other pools. My wife will be 4 Months pregnant when we go so I want to keep her as happy as possible...Any reccomendations for room location request as far as location to Bus, Food, Pools at the resort. Thanks

Hey I stayed in april. We liked jamaica its about a 5 min walk too the food court. Its very nice and clean, jamaica was not busy,the pool never had many people mostly a couple of kids. My 6 year old son liked the slide,it's kind of small, so the pool worked out okay. The buses were great never waited over 5-10 mins. The food court was packed at 0700 in the morning, I found around 0830 alot better, my kids like too sleep in. We got a seat every morning and only once coming back did we have too stand. Hope this helps but I really liked it would go back.

I have seen nothing that indicated they have changed the date the pool will open. You can follow the progress of the pool in the first post of the CBR FAQ thread. Link is below. I also have pictures of the small slides they have installed.
