Just returned a week ago from our stay at CBR. We were there from July 8th to July 15th. We drove down and received a text that our room was ready and we had about 8 hours left to drive. The text said we had Martinique. I requested Jamaica. I know it's just a request but I was hoping it was going to be met. This was our 7th time staying here and luckily the other 6 times we got Jamaica. I decided to call the number they sent with the text. I asked if I could change to Jamaica and she said she would put the request in. Within 45 min. I received a text saying we got Jamaica 44. I was so happy!! We did on-line check-in but had to go to Custom House to get the gift card that was totaling $525. Wasn't very crowded when we arrived so we were taken care off right away. He asked for our names and took some envelopes out of a drawer and gave us ours!! When we went to our room there was no cooler bag. Didn't bother me too much and didn't call to ask, but maybe I should of. Buses were not a problem at all! The longest we probably waited was 20 min. and that's because we just missed our bus. I love the monitors in the bus waiting areas. The last time we were there was 2 years ago, and they didn't have the monitors. We usually stay at CBR for 10-14 days so this trip was shorter. Maybe if we stayed longer the construction would of bothered me, idk. But staying 1 week it didn't. We were at the pool area 2 times and that's the only time I saw the construction going on and it wasn't loud. I did miss OPR! Not a lot of choices to eat like a regular food court would of had but didn't try anything but the breakfast buffet and my family enjoyed it. The coffee is free, and I love the refillable locations in the ice areas. I heard they will keep those. I talked to a lifeguard who was really nice and she gave me some info. She said OPR is not being knocked down but being changed inside. Check-in is going where the far side of the gift shop was. The game room is coming out. The food court is the rest. Shutters (idk if it's going to be the same name) is going to be built along the lake with the fountain coming back and rebuilding the bar. It's suppose to all be connected. Barbados is all down and half of Martinique. She thought Custom House was coming down but wasn't sure. She said, of course some things might change. It really depends who you talk to because at check-in, to get my gift card, I was told OPR was already torn down, and it wasn't. I talked to 2 people in the island market, one said it was coming down and one said it wasn't. But I think it would of been down already. They were working a lot outside OPR and my son could see from the slide and it was all dirt. I can't wait to see it when it's finished but I really missed OPR!! I might of forgot some things so please ask me questions and I will try to answer.
