Caribbean Beach FAQ part V

[jdd]

Quick question. We've booked a king room and requested Jamaica, second floor. Is this going to be a possibility? I have no idea where the king rooms are.

Thanks!!!

Absolutely! That's what we had in May - Jamaica 46 (I think, maybe 45?), 2nd floor, king room - beautiful corner room - it was awesome!

Can anyone who has stayed in a Pirate room please tell me if they actually have the accessories in the room or if the consider "accessories" are the furniture and decorations. On their websites states they have buccaneer accesories (SEE BELOW) but when I called to see if we had to reserve the accessories (another reviwer stated you have to reserve) they had NO clue what I was talking about and stated you can only buy the accessories in the gift shop for 30 something dollars. HUH??? Is this hotel REALLY worth it????

I have no idea what the "accessories" would be. I can tell you that all of the items you listed are in the room with the exception of the pack 'n play which, as you typed, are available upon request. I think the accessories the castmember was referring to are costumes, swords, hooks, etc. for the kids which are sold in the store.

We have stayed at the CBR eight times and enjoy everything about it. The grounds are lovely, the main pool is awesome and the castmembers are friendly.

We just booked cbr for oct. 27-nov. 2. This is our first time here. Last year we stayed at pop. After reading through this and looking at a map we requested Aruba 51 or Jamaica 45. Can't wait for our trip!

We will be arriving right after you with the same request.

we have managed to change our flight to the 4th October, originally it was 5th so we just missed out on free dining, as were there till the 21st it was well worth the flight price change to get the free dining

We stayed at Caribbean beach in 2008, the new pool opened the day after we left so looking forward to using it this time

Does anyone have a schedule of what events ( movies, activities, etc ) will be scheduled at the CBR Resorts?

Next week, we will be arriving at around 6:30pm. I anticipate that we will be going swimming and eating at CBR....I just wanted to see if there was anything else that we can do there that evening.

There is a nightly campfire/marshmallow roast and poolside movie. The movie usually starts right around dusk. The campfire was at 6:00PM back in October. I would imagine it's probably around 7 or 8 in the summer. Have fun!!

Are the pirate themed rooms only in Trinidad South?

 

[stacyleigh1978]

Is there a bus stop to take you to the parks located right outside Trinidad South?

We've never stayed here before and am a little overwhelmed at the size of the hotel! (and a little nervous about the walking)

Every village has it's own bus stop. Yes, Trinidad South is the farthest village from OPR. However, from the farthest room in Trinidad South to OPR is 8-9 minutes at a very leisurely pace. In my opinion, the size of the resort is blown out of proportion. And there is an internal bus if you feel you need it.

Do they sell the Disney Rain Ponchos at the CBR Gift Shop?

I figure that I will just get it when we get there since I know that it will "flash rain" all of a sudden out of nowhere at some point over the course of our stay. I don't want to wait til it starts raining and we are stuck in some shop waiting in line to get it.

Also...does anyone what the deepest part of the main pool is?

I saw some videos of the water slide and saw that it was 4 feet 2 inches....( 50 inches ). Is that the deepest part of the pool?

The ponchos are not usually out until it rains, but when it starts raining, they magically appear everywhere! I'm sure if you asked, they have them! I know they do because when we were there 2 weeks ago it stormed and everyone was coming out with them in bags and putting them on at OPR.

I recall being in the main pool and thinking we saw a 4 ft. 8 inch depth. No deeper than that though.

Thanks....I will pre-emptively purchase them at the OPR gift shop on the night that we get there.

I was going to get throw away ones at walmart/ target

Another option is to bring your own. I don't know how the ponchos are now, but back in the 80's and 90's they were pretty thin. Last time we went, I made sure to bring our own. I think I paid less than $8 each for 2 adults and one child (not sure since it was 6 years ago). They were heavier and could be used at home as well.

It's a great idea to have them ahead of time! We have Disney ponchos but I do like the disposable ones...we get them at the Dollar Store too (they're more like garbage bags, lol) because the Disney ones are hard to fold up nice and compact again when they're wet wet once you're done with them. The Disney ones do last though, we have some that we've used a lot over the years.
