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...

It's a bit like soarin, but 100 times better. You have to wear the glasses but it's not like a 3D simulator like Spider-Man or transformers at universal. Plus you are fully supported round your body so you don't get that thrown around feeling. You'll love it!
