I'd guess it's about a mile each way from DD to Crossroads. I did the walk once a few years ago when staying at the Best Western.

Originally Posted By MPierce Thanks for the pictues Denise, very nice. I only went to CSR one time to look around. It really was a beautiful resort. It had kind of the feel of an outdoor Starbucks around the lagoon. It look like a great place to have a early morning coffee. I've heard that it still had the feel of a convention center though. I didn't feel that, anybody else with an opinion? I also heard the Pepper Market was great.

Originally Posted By nbodyhome Hi Dan! Thank you, I hope you have a wonderful trip! The seating area is new, I expect the bar is as well (I don't remember it). Denise
Originally Posted By TMICHAEL Hi Denise, I must add my thanks too! Going to Caribbean Beach Resort in 2 weeks and am grateful for all your photos. This will be the first time staying on property in over 20 years and was torn between CBR and CS. Finally chose CBR due to its size since I started running again a few months ago. But now after pouring over your MouseSteps, I wish I could have stayed at both ;-) Tony
Originally Posted By nbodyhome Tony - Thank you, that is very nice of you to say that! Both are very nice resorts - but for a really great walk/run, I'd choose CBR. That is now my favorite moderate for exercise, though they are all great for walking/running! I am planning to head over to CBR a few times when I'm staying at Pop this month. Denise

Originally Posted By nbodyhome It is a nice area (and I'd guess you could get some food from the Pepper Market and head out there if you wanted). Anything to save the 10%! Denise

Originally Posted By nbodyhome Thanks! I do like the bee shot very much - it took a little while for him to get in the right spot. Someone mentioned (about another photo a few weeks back) that I should submit it to AllEars picture of the week. For me, ever picture on my site is picture of the week! (even the ones that aren't as good). Denise

It looked inside from the concept art ... where are they putting it? Just on the patio area near Maya Grill? <<I'm picturing enjoying a martini outside near the lagoon while the sun goes down!>> Danny, at CSR it MUST be a margarita. Get with the theme, old man!
