Just wanted to check in and say Happy New Year. We got back yesterday after being up for 26 long hours! The joys of transAtlantic travel.
Our stay - Dec 23rd - 31st at CBR.
Building/village - Martinique #21 upper level- liked the location, took about 7 minutes to walk to the food court past the lake. Very quiet too, we couldn't believe such a large resort could be so relaxing.
We arrived at 10.45pm on Dec 23rd. From leaving our house to waiting at airports and connecting flights, we had been out of bed for 22 hours and were exhausted. I was convinced we were going to be placed in Trinidad South which I really didn't want but it didn't happen! Check in was fast and efficient. Our bell hop Matt was friendly and chatty as he drove us to our room, a really nice start to our Disney Christmas.
The room was much larger than we expected, HUGE compared to many UK hotel rooms. Very clean with lots of towels. Coffee maker and iron/ironing board included.
We used the food court for breakfast a few times. The breakfast platter from the pizza place were good, big and filling. Mickey waffles were tasty but overpriced IMO. We ought refillable mugs and used them frequently throughout our stay.
Hours of business - 6.30am to 11pm. 11pm was a little early in my opinion as I occasionally could have used a snack after being out all day. Probably I'm just being picky though.
On Christmas morning we found a gift bag hanging on our door containing a very cute Mickey Christmas card and sweets (candy) which was a nice touch.
Our mousekeeper was great although I can't recall her name! We met her a couple of times and she was always very pleasant. The room was always spotless and I've never seen so many towels in one room! Just as a matter of interest, sheets are changed every 4th day.
We did get the 'legendary' towel animals on Christmas day. The next day one of them had been positioned on top of our festive flower basket which we had got from the Disney florist. A nice touch which brought us a smile.
Bus service - very fast, never waited more than 10 minutes except once when it was 15 minutes. Usually no more than 5.
Not sure if this post should have been in the FAQ thread but it can be moved if necessary
.
We didn't use any of the pools so I can't really comment on those. Any other questions, I will try to answer as best I can.
All in all, we loved CBR and would definitely stay there again. I know some would not like the spread out location but for us it was great.
