We've stayed at the CBR. We were very pleased with it. Considering the price we got it for, it was a great deal.
The transportation was fine, the food court had a good selection, but it is a food court. It was good, but not great. It was never busy when we went there, even in the early morning when we wanted to grab a quick bite before heading to the parks.
The room itself was clean and nice. I had heard it was sort of rundown, but we didn't notice that at all. We had a wonderful maid, that left goodies each day, she even left me a b-day card with several character autographs, very nice surprise! We got to know her very well during our trip. We had no noise since we were pretty far from the main pool. They are small rooms, so be forewarned. LOL We had 2 adults and 1 teen and we often we tripping over each other. The bathroom was very tiny.
Service was fine, check-in took no longer the 20 minutes. The guest relations helped us out a lot, with a number of things we needed.
The main pool was often busy, but it was large enough that it didn't feel overly crowded. Plus at night they would often have music playing and such. Lots of fun.
The quite pools were a blessing though. We almost always had ours to ourselves. It was really nice to relax there after a day in the parks. We also had hamocks right out our door and would lay there relaxing, listening to the music from across the lake.
Our only problem was the walking distance from Aruba, which is where we were and the food court/main pool area. It was a beautiful walk, over a bride and across the island. However it was very hot and humid that year and my mom couldn't walk that far without problems. So a lot of times we just drove over.
Good luck with your choice, it's never easy! Have a wonderful trip!!
