We just returned yesterday afternoon from a week long stay at CBR. Before leaving, I spent hours pouring over these threads - for some reason, CBR seemed to be the least favorite moderate here. I also found some people who absolutely love it, so I was really wondering what we would think.
Well, we LOVED it! This resort is the most beautiful place I have ever stayed! The buildings are very attractive with bright colors, white carved railings and cupolas (spelling?). The grounds are gorgeous - sandy beaches, beautiful lake, lush tropical landscaping.
Check in was a breeze - we arrived around 2:00pm, check in took less than 10 minutes (I was done before my husband had changed a diaper!). CM was very pleasant - gave me a choice of rooms, and directed us to internal bus to get to our room. We stayed in Jamaica, Bldg 46. (I had requested Jamaica before we left). The room was very clean - they started us off with a towel animal (and we got two more later in the week). Each day the mousekeepers arranged the kids stuffed animals too - very cute! The room was always cleaned before we came back for our afternoon break - usually around 2:00pm. Our room was a 2 minute walk to the bus stop - in fact, we could see the buses coming from the bottom of the steps - and about a 7 minute walk to Old Port Royale (across Caribbean Cay - beautiful!!)
The food court was fabulous. Easy to figure out (a blessing after CSR - ugh!), quick, friendly service and good food. Never had trouble with it being crowded. I picked up a quick breakfast there each morning and we ate one lunch and two dinners there. Everything we tried was good.
I can't say enough good things. If anyone has any questions for me, let me know. We had a wonderful trip!!

Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at CBR. It is our favorite moderate resort, such beautiful grounds. I've never stayed at Jamaica, was it the last bus stop? Still debating on which island to request. Thanks in advance for any information
