CBR vs. ASMu family suites?

[asmit4]

We have the choice of staying at CBR or ASMu in a family suite for roughly the same amount of $$$.

We have other family staying at AKL. I know that ASMu is closer to AKL, but how much closer? (We will take a cab to and from AKL if needed)

There are 3 adults going on the trip, just for 3 nights. It's my parents and I, and I think it would be nice for us to each have our own space. The family suites at ASMu look so nice and affordable.

We like the idea of staying at a moderate but I know that CBR is farther from AKL, not sure how much farther though. Also we know that the pools and theming is better at CBR but with only 3 nights I'm not sure how much time we would spend at the resort.

Do you think that an ASMu suite is worth $100 more than 1 room at CBR?

Since you won't be in your room much and will only be there for 3 nights, I would choose the CBR. The CBR is the largest of all the moderates, and should be fine for three nights. Have a wonderful time.

DH and I stayed in a Family Suite at All Star Music ( a value resort) last Sept. (2006)

We really enjoyed the Queen size bed, the kitchenette with the microwave, having a sofa and cushioned chair to sit on and relax after a day at the parks before retiring for the evening.

I thought the pullouts very comfortable.

They are designed so the back cushion and seat cushion of the pullout support the pullout. There is no metal bar to hurt the sleepers back.

I don't know if I'm late in posting or not, but I would choose the ASMu Family Suites. It would be really nice to have a seperate bedroom/living room, and two bathrooms.
