Just got back from our 6 night stay at Caribbean Beach Resort.
We did the online check in and received a text by 1:30 Pm to say our room was ready. We had a Preferred room and put our 1st preference as Martinique and 2nd as Close to Transportation. We didnt get Martinique but instead were in Barbados (Building 33). We had a 60 second walk to our Bus Stop so that was wonderful. There was a soda fill up station in our building and we made the most of that. We had a 5 minute walk to Old Port Royale and it seemed effortless.
We had a room with 2 queen beds and also had the 5th sleeper in the room which was nice. The room to us was just a place to lay our head at nights and a place to shower in the morning. The beds were very comfortable and had ample USB ports and power outlets to charge electronics. There was a nice flat screen TV on the wall which was nice to watch the NCAA tournament. One thing I was shocked by was no alarm clock in the room. It wasnt a big deal as we used our cell phones for the alarm.
It wasnt the warmest in Florida last week (67-81 for the High) but living in Iowa we still swam in the main pool 3 times. My kids (7 and 5) loved the pool and it was a nice 82 degrees according to the lifeguards. Speaking of the lifeguards, I would like to commend them. 2 different times while we were there, the lifeguards had to jump in to help kids. One of the times I dont know how the lifeguard held her composure as the kid was screaming Help Help. After the lifeguard jumped in, the kid stood up and was messing around and pushed her away.
We never had a problem with buses. Granted we were the 3rd stop, but only one time did we not get to sit down on the bus.
We ate at both Spy Glass Grill and the Food Court. The meals werent spectacular but they were adequate for our needs.
We could see construction from our side of the lake but never heard it once during our stay. Riviera looks amazing.
All in all, It was a nice stay at CBR and I would not hesitate to book this resort again.
