My recent Orlando vacation was extra-nostalgic for me as my family stayed at the Caribbean Beach for our first ever Walt Disney World vacation when I was about ten years old. Since then I have made 12 additional trips to Walt Disney World and one to ...
Pros: lovely lake, nice room, really fun pool Cons: food court wasn't the best
During our recent trip at Walt Disney World, we were lucky enough to be able to stay at one of the Disney resorts. We had chosen a moderate resort, the Port Orleans – French Quarter, but two nights before we left we received a phone call...
Pros: atmosphere, themed pool, kids loved it Cons: a bad room location means a long walk
Disney's Caribbean Beach resort is a "moderate" resort that is a treat to stay at. The openness, colors, and white sand beaches give off a very un-crowded feeling. Since it was just closed down completely for an extensive rehabilitation, staying here ...
Pros: Transportation, pools, and early-late extended hours for resort guests, huge! Cons: Three hours for luggage delivery? Also limited action on site of the resort.
After a business trip had changed destinations, my Disney room reservation had been changed to Disney's Caribbean Resort instead of one of the convention hotels. All in all, it was a pleasurable experience! I had done my homework on another Disney ...
Pros: Nice rooms, nice grounds, good location, good dining options. Cons: Your room can be very far from food and pools.
My family recently spent five nights at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. We have stayed at some of the Premium resorts (Yacht Club, Contemporary) and Value resorts (All-Star Sports). While Caribbean Beach is a Moderate resort, I would consider it among ...
Pros: Beautiful, great activities, friendly staff. Cons: Rooms were not anything special.
How did my husband and I choose the Caribbean Beach Resort? Well, we went to a travel agent and picked up a brochure that had pictures of all the Disney World resorts. The picture of Caribbean Beach showed a really cool looking pool so my husband and I...

The rooms at CBR are very nice. Well appointed and...
Pros: All inclusive, lots to do for kids, easy access to all things Disney, fun atmosphere Cons: Adults may get bored with the food, but Downtown Disney's close by.
We went to this resort last spring when my husband had a business trip there. We chose this resort because it said it had a lot to do and see right there at the resort. It boasted that it had gift shops, restaurants, six heated pools and one of which ...
Pros: Pool and Laundry Area Cons: Needs Updating, Cheesy, Overpriced
Last Christmas, my family (husband, daughter, my Mom, Dad and Brother) decided to forego traditional gifts and pool our resources for a trip to Disney. We went the week of December 1st.
My parents chose the mid-priced Caribbean Beach Resort...
Pros: Charming and moderately priced Cons: I would have preferred some privacy while using the sink
Recently, I just went to Disney World on my honeymoon. My husband and I were suppose to stay at the Magnolia Bend in Port Orleans (formerly Dixie Landings), but our reservations got screwed up, soooo, we had a choice of a room from one of the moderately ...
Pros: free bus transportation, pools, stores Cons: cheesy decor,overpriced, long walk to get to any of the main buildings
Planning the Trip
When planning a trip to Florida, my family wanted to be inside the Disney compound. In order to achieve this, one must stay at a Disney-owned hotel. Compared to the other Disney resorts, this one is moderately-priced....
Pros: moderately priced, family friendly, clean and beautifully landscaped. There are many recreational activities available Cons: leaving
My family had the pleasure of visiting the Caribbean Beach Resort, or "Crabby Beach" as my 3 year old says, in November of 1999. Although we have been to Orlando many times, this was our first time staying on site at Disney World. We spent 4...
I have just returned from a weeklong stay at the Caribbean Beach Resort. And, I have to say, that although the weather was not tropical (from 35-70 degrees), the resort worked for me.
The Caribbean Beach Resort (CBR) is one of the so-called...
Pros: Guest Services was helpful Cons: Too big, bad for bus service
Hubby and I recently stayed at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort on a quick weekend trip to Disney World. When we stay at one of Disney's Moderate Resorts, we usually prefer Dixie Landings. But CBR was the only Moderate that we hadn't tried yet, so we...
Pros: beaches, pools, food court, atmosphere Cons: cable selection, charge for even 800 number calls, muggy because close to water
My wife and I decided on the Caribbean Beach Resort at Disney as the destination
of our honeymoon. Neither of us had been to Disney before so it would be a nice
treat for the both of us. I got in touch with Disney and they sent us all the...
Earlier this year I won two weeks for two people at Disney's Boardwalk Inn on a UK TV gameshow, but we have two children so I asked if I could downgrade the hotel so we could take them without paying extra. We were allocated the Caribbean Beach Resort...
I won a trip to WDW last year and we went in August. I was real excited when they said we would be staying at the Caribbean Beach Resort. I had hear wonderful things and they were all true.
This hotel is in the moderate price range, and it is...

My family went to Disney World for the first time 2 years ago. It was the best vacation I have every had. My parents, younger sister and brother, us 2 older girls with our spouses and children went together. Anytime you have a whole family going you...
Pros: decent price, transportation to and from Disney World Cons: Some rooms need to be spruced up a bit
Disney makes very few mistakes and once again they've "got it right" for the family wanting to visit Disney World on a modest budget. the Caribbean Beach Resort may be moderately priced, but there is nothing moderate about the service offered...
I stayed at this resort during the month of October. The rooms were certainly nice enough, and I liked the fact that all rooms had "outside" doors. In other words, it had a very different feel from an "indoor" hotel - I FELT...
The Hotel is set in clusters of buildings centered around a man made lake. The Port Royale, the gathereing place, is set in the middle of one side of the lake. There is a bridge across the lake with a mini island with a playground on it in the center...
One great aspect of Disney World is that it really can be done on a budget. You just have to know where to look. Disney has created a wide variety of resorts to please tourists who don't want to spend huge amounts of money for a hotel room. The...
Pros: One of the cheapest resorts, All rooms close to bus stops
Cons: Noisy, Limited (Fast-Food type) selections
If you are looking for a somewhat inexpensive resort that caters to children then the Caribbean Beach Resort is a must, but if you are looking for peace and relaxation and you go to this resort you may be a bit disapointed.
My first time at WDW,...
Pros: price, location, services, pool Cons: smaller rooms
Caribbean Beach Resort is the perfect place to stay for families when they are visiting Disney World. Our family has gone to Disney World for the past 10 years and have stayed at Caribbean 8 out of the 10 times. The hotel has a great pool in the main...
Pros: Great Theming and beautiful landscaping. Food is good and you have a wide variety to choose from. Cons: Depending on where you are located, the food court and main pool area can be really close or really far. Hopefully you won't be really far away from it.
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort may not be the most sophisticated resort at Walt Disney World. It may not be the newest, or have the best food, but it also isn't the most expensive. For a resort on Disney property that only costs around $150 in the...
Pros: there is a lot to do at the resort! Cons: I expected nicer rooms for the money!
This was our first trip to Disney. We chose to stay at the Caribbean Beach resort. I would give them an ok rating! I got an all inclusive resort package. Before we got there i requested a smoking room,...
Pros: the beach rooms and everything else Cons: food court
Recently just went to Disney and with a limited budget I decided to stay at Disney Caribbean Beach and was I glad I did! ~ The Price ~ The price was incredibly reasonable! Since I live in Florida I got a Florida resident discount so it brought the ...
Pros: The food court was nice, once you got there.... Cons: Overpriced, outdated, inconvienient, too far from the parks
I have been to Disney resorts 4 times in the last 3 years and have tried several to date. Since I have young children, convienience and short distances are a plus, especially when you'll be walking the parks all day. The Caribbean Beach resort is a ...
Pros: Everything. Food selection/price, rooms, grounds, staff. Cons: None. The resort is first class at a moderate price.
My family stayed at the Caribbean Beach in July 2004 and found it to be absolutely wonderful from start to finish. We have no complaints whatsoever. The resort consist of a series of separate islands all linked by paths, bridges and buses which can ...
Pros: Disney quality theming, feeling of isolation from "outside" world, Disney perks. Cons: Cost, very large with lots of walking.
Imagine that, palm trees in Florida. Who would have thought? Since Disney is famous for it's attention to detail and theming, a palm tree setting really wasn't what I initially had in mind for a vacation. Why not stay at French Quarter with it's ...
Pros: Beautiful outside grounds, decent food court, convenient transportation to parks Cons: Rooms were filthy and smelled bad, front desk unresponsive, busses often late 30 minutes
We just got back from a 12 day stay at Caribbean Beach Resort, and all I can say is "blecchhh". Our rooms were just plain filthy! Non-smoking rooms that stunk of years of cigarettes; brown nicotine stains & sticky build-up on all of the light ...
Pros: reasonably priced, buses all over property, activities for everyone Cons: none
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort for three nights over the summer. We got to the hotel before it was time to check-in and there was no problem getting our room early. Also, when we checked in we were asked about purchasing park tick ...
Pros: Cheery, brightly painted buildings with large rooms for a moderate resort. Cons: Someone smoked daily outside our Non-Smoking Room, and the smoke filtered right into our room.
We spent our honeymoon at the Caribbean Beach Resort from November 13-20, 2004, and loved every minute of it! There were quite a few positives, and only a one minor mishap which Guest Services quickly fixed. ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN We ...
Pros: price, cleanliness, food court, rooms Cons: you must walk to the food court
My wife and I and our two daughters (ages 4 & 6) stayed at Caribbean Beach July 8 - 16, 2000. We had a wonderful stay at the resort. Each complex has its' own pool conveniently located near every room. Our girls would swim every afternoon in...
I recently got married in July 1999. My fiance and I had decided previously to honeymoon in Disney World. My parents, avid Disney travelers, recommended and helped us pay for The Caribbean Resort. We drove from Alabama to the resort. We went in the dead...

My husband and our two children were looking forward to a wonderful first visit to Disney and made the decision to stay on Disney grounds. We chose the Caribbean Beach Resort based on it's good looks in our brochure. When we arrived via Mears we were...
Pros: I could feel the stress just melt away right when I got there. Cons: We had to leave on New Years Eve.
My boyfriend and I took a vacation to this hotel this past week and it was GrrrrEAT! This hotel is a must when you want to relax. It is open, clean, and oh so quiet, that I was surprised when I saw how many people were at the bus stops. Because when ...
Pros: decor, lake, room size Cons: layout, walking distance,staff service, price, lack of amenities in rooms.
Let me start out by saying we started our stay at the Caribbean Beach Resort on Jan. 14, 2002. My wife and I were celebrating our honeymoon at Disney World. By Wednesday Jan. 16, 2002, we were so unhappy with our room and the service we had that we...
Pros: clean, well-maintained Cons: Hotel complex too spread out
Caribbean Beach is a beautiful hotel complex. The staff is friendly, the food (for being counter service) was surprisingly decent, and the grounds are immaculate. Be careful!! the resort is SO big, though, that you have to know where you want to ...
Pros: Theme, beach, free shuttle service to attractions, food court, laundry rooms, and great housekeeping. Cons: Every "island" looks the same. You can easily get lost.
When I went to Disney World, I stayed at this hotel for a week. Check-in was quick and convenient. We were met with courtesy and professionalism. While checking-in, you can even buy your park tickets, at the same time. When we went to our room, we...
Pros: Nice People at Guest Relations, Decent Landscaping Cons: Terrible looking curbs, sidewalks, disgusting rooms, price, not "Disney Quality"
I know some of you will disagree with me on this opinion. You see, My family and I have been going to Walt Disney World every year since 10 years ago. When we first went to Disney's Carribean Resort (back when moderate resorts we priced at $100..), it...
Pros: Very convient, Beautiful, and FUN!! Cons: 2nd rate hotel so kind of expensive
Believe it or not, when I went to Disney World for the first time, the highlight of my stay was the hotel. I went with my mother, grandmother, and brother, and we got joining rooms. The hotel was absolutely gorgeous and always clean.
The...
Pros: Colorful scenery, larger rooms, great location Cons: Few food choices
My husband and I spent 5 days at Disneyworld. We stayed at the Carribbean Beach Resort and enjoyed the colorful scenery and close proximity to Disney Transportation (there are several bus stops at the resort and you are never far from one of them). The...
Pros: Polite Staff
Bus service to parks Cons: PRICE!!
Rooms
If you are in favor of spending way too much money on your vacation, then I recommend this resort!
Otherwise, you can get a better deal ANYWHERE else in Orlando than on a Disney property!
I made the reservation through a travel agent, so the...
We visited in May of 2000. We LOVED the Caribbean Beach. If you have children this would be the resort to choose. The main pool has a slide and water canons but if the main pool is crowded each "village" has their own pool. We always found...
Pros: Beautiful landscaping,clean comfortable rooms,central location Cons: Beach is not used for swimming
For our tenth anniversary my wife and I decided to leave the kids with family and get away for along weekend . We didn,t want to spend a lot but the Allstar Resorts were not suitable for this trip . We also prefer staying on property so we can take...
Pros: Caribbean theme, pool at each resort, friendly staff, peaceful setting.
Cons: none
We stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort in January 1999. I did a lot of research before planning this trip, and decided on this resort because of the price and the bigger room size. We stayed in the Trinidad South part of the resort, which is farthest...
The Caribbean Beach Resort is the farthest from the Magic Kingdom with the poorest transportation alternatives. Most of the Disney Resorts offer a choice of 2 or 3 alternatives for transportation to all parks. However, The Caribbean Beach Resort only...
Pros: peaceful and lots of scenery! Cons: costs a lot
This place is magnificent! You don't have to actually travel to a Carribean island to feel as if you are on one! The colors are magnificent, there are lots of palm trees, and there are beaches everywhere! In the main pavillion, there are shops, and...
Pros: Nice scenery Cons: Terrible food, cheap looking rooms, and everything is spread too far apart.
We just got back from the Caribbean and were completely disappointed with it. For the money that we spent on our room we expected it to be a much cleaner and modern room. Everything in the room was outdated by 10-15 years. We had the pleasure of...
Pros: paths along the lake, tropical plants, main pool, buses Cons: food court and restaurant, not being able to reserve a particular village
I've stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort twice and am currently making plans to return. I travel without kids these days..... a wonderful
experience !! Now from a strictly adults point of view: The food court should only be utilized in...
Pros: Convenient,
a lot of pools,
beautiful grounds,
free drink refills in food court Cons: Food a bit pricey
Our family of four went to Disney and stayed on the grounds for the first time. I will always recommend someone to stay in one of the resorts from now on. It was incredibly convenient, but we did have a rental car to travel outside the Kingdom. I...
Pros: Heated Pools, Laundry, Restaurants Cons: Small rooms
I was the only one in our travel group who had not been to Disney World - I was a bit worried that we were staying at a moderately priced resort, because friends of ours had just returned from staying at the Floridian.
Our family of 2 adults, 3kids and 1 Papa stay there in June2000 I have to say it was the best vacation we have ever had and possibly will ever have...The resort was wonderful. We stayed for a week and many times we stayed at the resort and did not go to...
Pros: Nice location in Disney, Old Port Royale food court and arcade. Cons: None really, we got a good value on our room. Thunderstorms once a day.
Well this last summer my family went to Disneyworld for vacation, and overall Disneyworld was way better than I thought it would be. The Caribbean Beach resort was one of their middle-of-the-road resorts, and it was very well kept-up and a good stay...
Pros: Location, pools, scenery, grounds, staff and value. Cons: Food court, some uninspiring villages and expensive gift shops.
Because the Caribbean Beach Resort is such a sprawling property, the location of your village and building are vital since all rooms are identical in size and furnishings. Pay the extra fee for a lake or pool view room; the location and view from some of...
Pros: Price, in Disney World Cons: not clean, long walk to food court
While our overall Disney experience was, as usual, wonderful--the Caribbean Beach Resort was not. We were in building 15 which is quite a distance from the restaurant area and from a bus station. I wore white socks to sleep in and after walking on the...
The Caribbean Beach Resort is one of Disney's moderate resorts. The use of the word moderate really just means you have to walk a little more from your room to the lobby and that you are not as close to the parks. Other than that, the quality of the...
Pros: Disney service, nice theme, beautiful landscaping Cons: too big! the buildings are way to far apart
Of all the moderately-priced Disney resorts, this is probably my least favorite, but because it's still Disney, the service is still wonderful and the theme is fun.
The resort is split into several sections, each named for different Caribbean...
Pros: cost,accomodations & convenience Cons: not enough rooms available
The Caribbean Beach Resort has the best that Walt Disney World has to
offer for comfort,affordability,convenience and relaxation for the entire family. My two daughters ,gandson and son-in-law have stayed and enjoyed the swimming...
Pros: Beautiful, quiet, moderately priced Cons: You may be far from the food court or bus
After a long day in the Disney Parks, there is nothing better then taking a bus back to the Caribbean Beach Resort, entering your air-conditioned room and taking a load off. I have been to Disney World about 8 times and 4 of those times, I stayed at ...
Pros: The grounds were ok. Cons: Bad service and filthy room! Out dated!
We just got back from the resort. It was a very, very, very, bad experience! The room was filthy! They did not clean our room at all. All the maid did was make the bed, replace the towels, and dump the trash (except on one day she didn't even dump the...
Pros: Great place to Stay! Cons: Very,Very Expensive! Did I mention how Expensive everything was at Disney?!!!
The Disney Caribbean Beach Resort was a very nice place to stay.Quiet,peaceful,and a great pool bar called the 'Banana Cabana'.....We started out our trip by taking a shuttle from Orlando Airport.It took 2 hours with all the pickups they had to do before...
Pros: Nothing, there are better on-site and off-site hotels. Cons: Long bus rides. Distance to main lobby.
I feel bad writing this review, but we had a horrible experience at Disney’s Caribbean Resort on our honeymoon. That first night we killed a roach in the bathroom. Not the best way to set the mood for the honeymoon. As in a motel, the rooms open ...
Pros: nice walk to get to food court,view of the white sand beach, Cons: We had to ask for more towels and tissues .
My mother,sister and myself stayed at The Caribbean Beach from July 11 to 16,2002.We had a wonderful time.Our room was in Aruba #55.We had a short walk to get to the beach-about 2 minutes.The food court was about a 5 minute walk around the scenic lake....
Pros: Nice theme, great pools, pleasant surroundings Cons: house cleaning time in-consistent, food court closing time needs to be expanded
My family recently spent 10 nights at CB. Although this is one of Disneys older properties, this hotel has everything you expect from Disney. I previously stayed at Dixielandings & CoronadoSprings, and would compare CB favorably to those 2.
Pros: Reasonably Priced and some interesting architecture Cons: Showing it's age - not the best value
Caribbean Beach Resort was Disney's first effort at a "moderate" prices resort. (In fact, was the "economy resort" in it's early years before All Star Sports and Music)
We stayed at Caribbean Beach once - and that was enough. Our room...
Pros: Location, theme, set-up, look. Cons: Only allow four to a room.
My family and I had the wonderful opportunity of staying at the Caribbean Beach Resort a couple of years ago, and let me tell you, it was absolutely fabulous. The resort lives up to the Walt Disney tradition of great themes, you feel as if you are on...
We have stayed at several Disney World hotels & have never been disappointed. This one seems to be a favorite for children in the peak season (a really cool pool), so if you want a couples getaway try this one in the off season. It worked well for us....
Pros: Wonderful clean rooms. Speedy maid service. Quiet atmosphere. Great scenery. Cons: Rooms were a little small for a family of 4.
We loved our stay at Disney world Caribbean Beach Resort. It is great to get up in the morning and walk out the door. catch the shuttle to the park of your choice. Rent the bicycles for the family. The kids loved it. Beach, several pools. The...
You can't go wrong on a Disney World Resort! The cleanliness of the room was unbelievable(I wasn't afraid to go barefoot). The grounds were beautifully maintained. One day as we went to the food court for breakfast we noticed a flower plant had died....
Pros: Internal bus stops for each of the "islands" Cons: Overpriced food (just eat outside of the World)
I have stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort 4 times.
The internal bus stop is within a 1-2 minute walk from your hotel door(A BIG PLUS)! Each "island" has it's own bus stop.
The quietest (and farthest) "island" from the Main Pool/Food Court is Trinidad South...my favorite! There is a sidewalk that leads to the Food Court/Main Pool area, which is about a 10 minute walk. The walk is peaceful and leads you around the other "islands."
Each "island" has it's own designated pool.
The room is your basic room. Nothing to write home about. I have always experienced clean rooms, clean toilet/bathtubs and friendly staff.
Before you travel, pack some breakfast snack bars with you to eat for breakfast!! I paid over $10.00 for 2 bagels and 2 small juices. Alternative...go to Walmart upon your arrival to WDW and stock up on non perishables.
Pros: Great decor, nice foodcourt, lush landscaping and beautiful beaches. Cons: Housekeeping left a small bit to be desired.
This was our first visit to the Caribbean Beach Resort...our first to Disney World actually, and we loved it!! The resort is so beautiful and the rooms are really amazing. We were lucky enough to have our room upgraded and we ended up in the Martinique building. The decor is very pleasant, the beaches are beautiful and the food court was honestly our favourite place to eat in all of Disney World. It offered a few vegetarian choices for us, unlike the rest of the "World". Housekeeping did a pretty decent job, though our room could have used a daily vacuuming (with three little ones snacking often), but that's something they seemed to skip our entire visit pretty much. I can't wait to go back! We got back 4 days ago and we're already beginning our planning for our next Disney vacation...and we definately plan on returning to the Caribbean Beach!
Pros: Good price, clean rooms, very nice complex, awesome setup Cons: Place can be very big, beds were a bit hard, not enough hot tubs
My girlfriend and I stayed at the island of Jamaica from Feb 3rd to Feb 8th. The weather during our stay was very cold, but at least our hotel stay was excellent. The food was not so great (especially for the prices), but it was doable. Definitely grab the souvenier mug. The mug costs about $12 and you get to use it the whole time during your stay, but just to let you know, it doesnt hold as much liquid as it may seem. The tandem bi-cycles were a fun adventure. It's a little pricy at $18/half hour, but a half hour is really all you need to go around the whole complex twice (if you are a little late, they won't charge you). Most people say they'd rather stay at Martiniquie or Trinidad north, but I definitely reccommend Jamaica! I think it's the best location and nicest looking area of the resort. It's about a 5 minute walk to the food court. The one problem I had with the resort was that it only had one hot tub, not really practical when you have such a huge resort.
