I just booked CBR for 4 nights with free dining for me and my DS 23 on Sep. 10-14. I was originally going to go with my dad, who has never been, but he had to back out. I cancelled those ressies. I thought I was out of luck, but now DS says he can get the time off work, so I booked it. I think the main pool will be closed while we are there, but I am not sure.. anyone know? And if it is, are we allowed to use another resorts main pool, or are we only able to use the quiet pools at CBR? My DS really like waterslides (and so do I), so it will be kind of a downer if we won't have one. We are not getting the waterparks and more option, since we will have limited time. Anyone that has info on this resort, anything, please let me know! Thanks!!

This is from Deb Wills site " The themed pool, Old Port Royale Caribbean Beach will be closed for refurbishment between January 7, 2008 and September 15, 2008. Small, child-size, pool slides will be temporarily added to the pools at Villages of Jamacia and Barbados."

So it looks as though the pool will still be closed for your dates. You are not able to use the pools at other resorts, you are only able to use the quiet pools in the CBR.
Is the CSR available during your dates? If you are interested in staying at a moderate with a neat pool, try the CSR.

I asked specifically about CSR, because I have heard great things about Pepper Market and wanted to try it. Plus, the pool looks amazing! It was CBR or a deluxe, which was too much money for me. We will survive the pool situation. At least they have a pool and hot tub... if a value resort had been available, I would have booked that for the lesser cost, and we would have not had a slide OR a hot tub... so it's good... we will have a blast! Now I need to make ADR's, as soon as I decide where to eat! Thanks!
