It's a shame we will miss you since we are leaving the day before you get there. This will be our third year at CSS. We always try to go the week of the 7th, as that is our anniversary.

You are going to just love CSS. It is truly paradise. You can feel very confident that you chose the right resort.

And, we'll try to save you guys some Sans Souci Specials. I say try as I do like those drinks a lot. I highly recommend you try some of the Rum Cream if you never have. I really like it after dinner in a glass over ice. Mmmmmm! I can't wait to return.

Doing the Single Digit Dance and a wake-up.

Jeff

Trace and Kelly: I am excited to see that some other people will be at SSB with us! It seems like we're the only ones on this thread that will be there at the end of July! Hope to get to know you better in a little less than a month!!!

Ya, we look forward to meeting you too! We're still not 100% committed to CSS but we're probably 85. We've actually been talking with some of our friends we met at CTI and I think one couple is ready to pull the trigger and come along with us. If we do CSS, we're definitely going to find a nice day and do a trading places to hit up the island...that place is just awesome!

Hopefully see you soon!

T&K,
Have you ever been to CSS and/or SSB?? If not, you will LOVE it! We split our trip between CSS and CTI (COR then) a couple of years ago and we really wished we would have spent the whole trip at CSS. The SSB is so nice and private. We were kinda grossed out by the island on CTI. The bathrooms and pool were downright disgusting especially after spending time at SSB. SSB has a grill so you can stay there all day and eat lunch. The pool area is large and you can float all day in the pool if you want to. The beach is nice and private. It depends on the people there at the time, but we have always made great, fun friends! Let me know if you have any questions. We have been to CSS 3 times and whenever we go anywhere else, we always kick ourselves for not going back to CSS!

What type of room should we get? I've read that the oceanviews are up on the hills and that beachfront is lower but not as nice of views.

If you will be spending a lot of time at SSB, I would book a one bedroom beach front suite. These are in block A or B and get you much closer to SSB. They also have great views. We stayed in a room closer to the lobby and balloon bar last time and it was very nice, but since we went to SSB every day, it was a bit of a hike. We missed being right there. Although, being in block A or B, you're further from the restaurants.
All of the rooms at CSS are more spacious than what I remember at CTI (although that was before the renovations) and very nice.
It all depends on what is most important to you!
This first picture is from our beach front suite and the second is from our deluxe ocean suite...

Nine days to go...!!!!!!!
Our room in 2008 Beachfront...I think was was on the end of Building B next to Building...

Sorry to here that! On the bright side, it didn't happen while you were on vacation in Jamaica. Or then again, maybe you wouldn't have been able to travel home and would have had to stay.
