We requested Jamaica, and we landed in a corner room in Barbados.
I couldn't have been happier.
It was just a quick stroll around the lake to Old Port Royale, and we were the last bus stop on the way to MK, so it was only about a 10-15 minute ride (for which we never had to stand...even during the crazy, over booked, last week of August).
We were just a quick hop across the parking lot from our bus stop, and just across the street from the customs house.
CBR looks much bigger on paper, in my opinion.
When you walk on the inside of the buildings around the lake, it isn't a bad walk to anywhere from any section. And my kids were happy to walk anywhere just to see all of the different kinds of lizards scooting about.
I think the fact that CBR is a more spacious property helps keep it from seeming crowded, even when it is at capacity.
