@magicMN Thanks, they are high school kids, so I hope they don’t need strollers.
Well I’m 45 and some nights I wish I had one

That’s exactly the reason I have DS10. Give him $100 in cash and tell him “make sure mommy makes it home tonight”

All of Jamaica will be finished with room refurbs by then with queen beds and some rooms also with the fold down murphy bed like the AB rooms at POR.

One word: BIG. I am not used to having a 10-plus minute walk between the room and the lobby/busses/food/pool. They have an internal bus system, but my experiences with it were not great (lots of waiting). On the plus side, it’s beautiful, relaxing, and does create an “island” experience. For 1 or 2 nights I might consider it, but never again for a whole vacation.
I’m trying to decide between POP or CBR. I have both booked but can’t decide which one to keep. Its during free dining and its about 275.00 difference. I got a preferred room in both. Which one should I keep ?
I’m thinking about staying here when I take my sister my sister in January. I’ve never stayed there so I wanted to try it.
It is my favourite resort. Love the theme, landscaping, I find the large layout makes it a quiet and relaxing resort. The refurb is great because the rooms were getting worn out looking. I hesitate to brag it up too much lest everyone fall in love with it. Hehe.

I found this review today by allears writer Jack Spence. It has good descriptions of the food available at the food court.

I LOVE POP. Stayed there for the first time on my last trip and it is now my new “go-to” resort for “non-deluxe” trips…
Pop!
Anybody know the status of refurb at CBR?
Stayed there in September. Jamaica and Aruba are finished, others are still in progress I believe. We were in Jamaica and it was wonderful! 
I’m curious about your experience with the various bus stops at CBR. I want to make the best room choices for transportation location to and from the park.
- Do you know which bus station is the last to pick up before heading to the parks in the morning? I think I’d prefer to get to the last stop on the route to maximize getting-ready time. Advice?
- If we get on at the last pick up on the morning route, are we risking a full bus we can’t get on?
- Coming back to the resort, do you know which stop is first? We’re energetic enough to want to get off and walk through the resort back to our rooms (pretty lights reflecting on the water), but if the distance is excessive we might want to skip it and save our steps for the park.
- How awesome is it that this is my family’s first trip and they still don’t know?
Thanks for this wealth of knowledge. Y’all have made this trip amazing and it’s still 86 days away!
Well, @thechindo, I’m not sure that there are totally consistent answers here. I had always heard – and folks have said here that it was true in their experience – that Jamaica was always the first on and the first off. But that was definitely not our experience. We were sometimes the very last off, which was the worst at park closing at MK one night when the bus was packed and the drive back took twice as long, then we had to circle the resort.
The CBR buses come and go through the front gate, but there is also a second unmarked gate off of another road that they use to enter and leave as well. Also, bus drivers said things to us that make me think that whether or not they circle the resort depends on the instructions they are given from somewhere else. Sometimes they just pick up a load and go.
So I don’t know, I’d say, just pick a room you like and take your chances. None of the walks are really that far from a busstop, and if traveling at a busy time, there’s always the chance of having to stand…
Sorry I can’t be more helpful!
