Which is better OKW or CRB??

Wow! That answer could be a MILE long! Both are lush and lovely but there are some differences. Because OKW is a DVC resort, the rooms range in size from studios, which are "like a regular hotel room" all the way up to grand villas, which sleep 12. Even the studios, however, have a kitchenette with fridge, microwave and toaster. OKW is very spread out, and there are 3 quiet pools plus the main pool. If you have a car, you park right in front of the individual building you stay in and have a nice balcony with view toward the back. There is an onsite store with basic groceries, two snack bars, and one full-service restaurant, Olivia's. The atmosphere is very relaxed and laid-back. OKW is peaceful and the rooms are known for their large size.

Carribean Beach (I hope that is what you mean by CRB) is the original "moderate." The rooms will have 2 fullsize beds (at OKW the beds are all queens or larger). The bathroom will be fairly tight, where at OKW it is quite large. Carribean Beach is also spread out in small groups of buildings around a central lake. There is a main center with a food court, shopping, and a small sit-down restaurant. The main pool has a slide. OKW is getting a slide, but at this point there is none.

Hope this helps. I love OKW and would be happy to answer other questions. You can PM me.

We've stayed at both, and DH likes OKW best. He didn't like how spread out CBR is, but I think OKW is even more spread out. We took internal transportation when we needed to move around at OKW, so didn't notice that so much. The feel of the 2 is similar. We stayed in a 2BR Villa at OKW and it was awesome! So that kind of taints my preference. I like the foodcourt at CBR though, and OKW doesn't have one, but then we had a full kitchen and didn't need the foodcourt services. I also like the sit-down restaurant at OKW better. Olivia's has a wonderful breakfast.OKW also has a boat to DTD. But CBR has Parrott Cay and hammocks on the beach. That was a wonderful place to relax. At OKW we had a private patio (2nd & 3rd floors had balconies.) And we had a jacuzzi in our master bathroom. If I had the money, I'd rather stay in a 1,2 or 3 BR Villa at OKW than a single room at CBR. But it would be hard to choose between a studio at OKW and a King Bed corner room at CBR.

Not much help I suppose!
