May I ask what room category you booked? Did you have a pirate room booked so they put you in Trinidad because of that? I ask because I have a non-pirate room fifth sleeper water view room booked for January, and I originally was going to ask for Aruba… but if there’s a possibility we can get a refurbed room under that booking, we would love that!
We booked a standard view fifth sleeper. Right now only one building looks done. A few more are being worked on and are blocked off. We did not book a pirate room. There are several pirate buildings that look like they have guests in them still.
I don’t have any way to measure exactly but that size seems about right. I think the mattress is too short for most adults.
Do you think five fit comfortably in the remodeled rooms? We would be two adults and three kids. Someone on the Beach Club boards said the five person room there is really cramped with all the beds open.
We stayed there in April as a family of 5. Obviously, not the remodeled rooms- we had 2 queens (not the sofa murphy bed) and the single, child-size pulldown. With all three beds out, it was a bit tight. As soon as my youngest woke up in the morning, we moved him off the pulldown and closed it up. Then the room was fine- just like any other hotel room with 2 queen beds. I'd imagine the remodeled rooms are no different (it is the same square footage afterall). It's probably a little tight with the child-size pulldown out, standard with it up, and then I'd imagine lots of room with the sofa murphy bed away.
It felt OK to us, space-wise. But there were only two of us and we have gotten used to staying in values so the rooms at Caribbean Beach are obviously slightly bigger than value rooms.
Direct buses for sure. Though, if you have a car, drive to AK.
Keep in mind that park-to-park buses don't start until around 2pm, when park hopping starts for the day. You could Skyliner to HS and take a bus to Contemporary and then walk to MK, but that will take much longer than just taking a direct bus from CBR.
At this point they have started remodeling the rooms that were pirate-themed in Trinidad. They are located at the end of the property closest to Pop Century. They are not far from the Skyliner station, but are a bit of a walk to the main building/ main food court. There is a smaller quick service food place located right by the Trinidad pool that is very close to the remodeled rooms. If you have a refillable mug it can be refilled there, and there are Coke Freestyle machines for refills located in the different areas so they are not far away either. I found the location to be fine.
