Caribbean Beach Resort building works and Old Port Royal closure

The original thread was located HERE.

The first post was...

CBR - refurbishment/building work

**Plans have been submitted to demolish multiple buildings and build a multi storey building on land where Barbados and part of Martinique villages currently sit, and to work on roads and waterways **

Here's what we know about it so far:

Old port Royal to close for a total refurb from 1st May 2017.

Facilities that will be shut:

�Food court
�Shutters table service restaurant,
�Calypso trading shop
�Concierge and recreation areas of Old Port Royale
�Banana Cabana bar(situated just outside of OPR)
�Barbados and Martinique villages to be 'unavailable' from May 2017

Building work noise may be heard between either 9am until dusk(from recent e-mail) or 9am until 4pm(from original e-mail)

And while they work their 'magic' over the coming months:

�Centertown(a large marquee style tent) will serve a Caribbean\American buffet breakfast and a la carte dinner

�a selection of grab-and-go meals will be available in the island markets of Aruba, Jamaica and Martinique.

�Guests can refill their resort mugs with beverages from Coca-Cola freestyle machines which will be available throughout the resort.

Room pizza delivery will still be available

�Guests will receive $75 per room per night gift card on checking in at hotel

�At the moment guests are able to transfer to POR without charge while keeping their existing offers that they received at time of booking(dining plans, gifts cards)

No opening/closing times of food facilities or menus available, it's also not known what times drinks will be able to refilled using freestyle mugs or whether tea, coffee, tea, hot chocolate will be available and where refill locations might be.

Please feel free to carry on...

All booked for 2022 - yay!

Is it not 5? I'm trying to think how many times I had to get and look for it!

OrlandoFanJr can't quote cause the thread closed. I asked if they've revoked the offer the gave me. She said there had been a slight change and we would receive a gift card. I replied that as far as I was concerned I should receive both amounts I was offered. Because it was for different reasons, one was because of a massive change to the holiday I had booked, the other was a deal to stay with no facilities that they were offering to people who already had knowledge of the works

No Disney? For reals? Space camp it is

Possibly! This is quiet time in my house. Work at 7 so I get up at 5.45, do school lunches, prep dinner then sit with breakfast and dibb. In 6 weeks I'll be sitting poolside watching the sunrise

I tend to run away now before that happens and just deal with the nightmares at work 😂

It's been in the planning since December 2014! So a long time. I've a week in a villa first so I'll be behind some of the other guys at checking in. I'm not that bothered about hearing back, kinda figure I'll only get one amount but sure I'll have a few wee arguments before I leave
