Just returned from 2 weeks at CBR. Great stay. All the staff were great. From front desk to housekeeping. Housekeeping came for trash & towels every other day, and 3x for sheet changes. When I had a problem with USB ports not working I phoned housekeeping and someone was by in under an hour to put in new ones. Other than worn out USB ports ( and that was fixed in an hour) our room was in great condition. And I was so glad they kept the fans. I don’t like the AC on freezing so the fan allows me to dial back AC and be comfortable. I had AC on 69. When we moved in it was on 65, way too cold for us! So 69 + fan was perfect.
I‘m afraid when they refurb rooms at CBR the fans will probably go :-( as they have at other resorts.
Sebastians was delicious. Highly recommend. The food court was decent. Except fish tacos was a fail! I just wish they kept the old food court design. It was so atmospheric, now it’s pretty generic looking lacking the character it once had.
Because we were there 2 weeks we had several neighbours and never heard any of them!
Only saw one of those families we hear about and dread at the bus stop. I kept thinking I’m glad they weren’t in my building. And felt sorry for their neighbours. 3 kids that managed to trash the Jamaica bus stop in 20 min. Including ripping down the hand sanitizer pole. And busting the hand sanitizer housing. Shameful.
Loved the Skyliner, but it was August so afternoon shutdowns was expected. Like pools if there’s lightning within 10? Miles its down, so keep a watch on weather.
For the most part busses came regularly. In another post I discussed a MK bus problem. I also had a long wait at AK one day for a CBR bus.
WDW is really short on bus drivers. I noticed a lot of contracted non Disney busses running. For a 2 week stay there we’re only a few glitches, so I’d say it was good service. I don’t expect busses to be perfect 100% of the time.
I wouldn’t hesitate to return to CBR. It was nostalgic for us as it was our very first WDW onsite stay. And we liked it then, and happy to report we still do.
One comment, I think the Riviera detracts from the CBR vibe. I’d cry if they did that to POR.
