Hi gang,
The good......
Just home from Cbr, like 25 minutes ago. Lets see we had building 31, room #3161. The resort was wonderful. The main pool is still not open, but today they were testing the play area by the kids slide. It looked like the bucket would fill with water and spill out every 20 minutes or so, but we could see a guy doing something in a open area in the ground that had a metal grate open by the slide and everytime he pressed something the bucket would spill over and out. So maybe they were testing it and most likly it will happen at faster time rates.
In all it was our familys 2nd time staying at this resort and we still love it. We did not have a newly refurbished nemo room, but that was fine since we don't spend too much time in the room. We went swimming in the Trinidad pool on 2 nights and loved it and were surprised to find we were the only ones there. On the second night 2 teenagers showed up and went in for 20 minutes but quickly left, so most of the time we had the pool to ourselfs.
It was a 3 minute walk to centertown or old port royal. The food court was great and i have to suggest the club royale sandwich at the pizza shop, which i loved. Housekeeping was good and we got towel animals on 3 different days.
The bad...
The only 2 complaints i have about the resort. Day 1 we left nyc at 5:50am, which meant that we had to leave our house at 3:15 am, I am employed by the New York City Fire Dept(if the screen name did not give it away) and ended up working a 16 hour shift only to get home to not have enought time to sleep. So i showered and packed(yep, i am one of those last minute packers) Got to the resort and was told to call a number to find out what time my room would be ready. We went to the MK and at 4pm called to find my room still not ready and was told to call back at 5:30. Again i was up for around 35 hours straight and badly need a nap. We hung out in the Mk until 5 and left for the resort. At 5:45pm i called the number from the resorts bus stop phone after disembarking the Mk bus at Cbr. I was told room still not ready and the lady on the phone then said" it does not look like your room will be ready for some time".
I ended up at the custom house and thank god there was no line, i asked to speak to a manager and explained that thier own website says check in time is between 3 and 5pm, i explained very nicely that i had been awake for some time and needed a bed anywhere. I was told to go to my room and someone would be there to let us into the room. This was fine it was near 95 degress ut and i needed to just rest. We arrived at the room and waitied for about 20 minutes and finally some guy comes and ask's us for the room key, which i gave him and he opened the door for us. Had i know this i would have used my own room key to open the door myself, instead of waiting in the heat and sun for 20 minutes.
I just figured my room key would'nt work yet, i should have known better.
Still it was just a minor thing not something i would get all upset over.
My only other complaint is the game room, what is a game room without Skii ball??? Our son loves to play skii ball and i remember last time they had 3 of them, but not this time. No skii ball games at Cbr. Again just a few little things and not any reason i would not reccomend this resort to family and friends. We even went ahead and booked the bounce back thing for next year.
I took some pictures but have no clue were my camera is. I still need to unpack, which will get done tomorrow.
If you have any questions please pm me.
