I went to the front desk, and yes, it appears they are open. They have them booked for some special event / convention they said. They took my cell number and room number and said they would call me if they had a chance that one was available for me to see!!! So I'm on standby to try to get some fresh new pictures!!!

Thanks for the heads up! Can't wait to see the pics!

All the buildings have already been updated to queen beds. There are 100 rooms around the resort that do not but all the others are complete. These 100 rooms are being converted to KING rooms so that is why they still have the double beds.

[buzz2001]

I can report that the 4th floor of building 1 is finished. Although the rooms still smell heavily of paint. They are now converting the 4th floor of casitas 2 and 3.

The room is large and the doors to the left in the picture slid on a rail that shut off the bathroom and sink from the rest of the room! The room has a flat panel TV.

O.K. Buzz, let me see if I understand this, there is only "1" Queen bed in each room or
"1" King in each room? Please let me know because we are going to have 1 of our daugthers with us in Oct.

We stayed in 7500 building last September and I think we had queen beds

That's a king room in the picture. The majority of the rooms will be two queens.

If you mean Sept 2008, then maybe, can't remember when they started but they did start with the ranchos. If you mean 2007, then no. They just put the queens in this year.

Thanks for the clarification Buzz.

Building 9b has been completed and CSR will go live with business club level at the first of next year. Some CM's will see the new lounge on the 16th.

Renovations have been completed on the 4th floors of casitas 1,2,and 3. All is progressing nicely. Check ahead as to where the work is going on. The third floors of those buildings were noisy; but only during the day (regular work hours). Most will be in the parks at that time, so it is no big deal. But if you have infants that will need mid-day nap, ask when you are checking in.

The quiet pool at bldg 4 is being rehabbed. Should be finished soon.

CSR has the resort shuttle running from 7 pm until 2 or 3 am. It seems strange; but they received more complaints about the shuttle service when they are running it, than when they don't.......so CSR has cut it out during the daylight hours unless a convention group pays for the extra service.

For anyone staying after the 19th of Dec. in Cabanas 9A you are in for a totally redone room. The whole building is empty of guests and an army of workers has begun to remodel the rooms. The rooms are being emptied totally, electric, painting, some woodwork and tile work are being performed. There has been trailers full of old furniture being taken away and the way it is being handled it is not coming back. The quiet pool was not so quiet today!

Cleaned out.

This is one of the papers taped to the window of a unit. It shows the order of things to be done and by which trade. The completion date for them is the 19th.
