The hotel

Bringing the Caribbean to Florida, you can expect endless fun at Disney's Caribbean Beach. Split into 5 islands: Barbados, Jamaica, Martinique, Trinidad and Aruba, you can expect loads of pools to relax in, and so much for little ones to do. Head to one of the lively markets, chill at the beach surrounding the lake, or spend a few hours at the Fuentes del Morro pool, with slides galore, water cannons, and a shipwreck play area. Heading to the parks couldn't be easier - jump aboard the Skyliner gondola and you'll be in Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios in no time!

We travelled from Australia as a family of four with our 12 and 16yr old daughters and stayed at Carribean Beach Resort for 11 nights. We were nervous about the size of the resort from what we had read, but still requested the refurbished "under the sea" 5th sleeper room upon arrival. Despite not having originally been allocated a room in this section, they made it happen for us and our room was ready at 10am. We had a corner room and it was surprisingly spacious. There was plenty of drawer space to unpack all our clothes and we stored the empty suitcases in the corner of the room. My 12 year old slept in the 5th sleeper bed and just fitted in terms of length. We phoned and requested a microwave which was promptly brought. It was relatively easy to get around the resort using the internal bus system or walking and the Spyglass Grill was right by our building. They also have toasters and microwaves available to use there and provide free butter and cream cheese (you just have to ask). Skyliner access was incredible and the Joffreys always had coffee and tasty doughnuts! When my daughter got sick, reception sent crackers to the room and offered medical attention. Nothing was too much trouble. We loved the relaxed vibe after long park days and felt there weren't heaps of screaming children, which made our stay more pleasant. We would 100% stay at this resort again. Read less

I loved the skyliner and the pool area. The pubic spaces are nice and the food court is plentiful and just fine. The sheer size of this place is the only drawback. It takes a long time to go anywhere. I would stay here again if I was staying 3 days or more and if I had resort days where I wasn't going to the park so I had plenty of time to enjoy… Read more

It takes a long time to go anywhere. I would stay here again if I was staying 3 days or more and if I had resort days where I wasn't going to the park so I had plenty of time to enjoy what it has to offer. It is beautiful. I love that there's a joffrey's by the skyliner. Overall not our favorite Disney resort but it's a good choice for the skyliner and great pool for kids. Read less

This room is terrible for the price. There is one tiny window and all the furnishings are heavy making the room very dark. The beds are high off the ground making it difficult to get in and the room is tired, dated and unattractive. Do not stay here.

We have stayed at Caribbean Beach several times and continue to love this hotel. It has only gotten better with the addition of the Skyliner, which makes it so convenient to get to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. The rooms are all we need for our Disney visit, which generally involves little time in the room. We had the standard twin queen with a 5th sleeper (which is more than enough room for my wife and I). The beds and pillows are excellent and so comfortable! The bathroom has your basic amenities, and my wife liked the quality of the shampoo and conditioner. The shower water pressure is great and can help you feel better if you are tired after a long park day! Having the sinks outside the shower and toilet makes for quick getting ready. We were in Aruba which is very close to the Riviera Skyliner stop - direct service to EPCOT. With a bit more of a walk in the other direction you get to the Caribbean Beach stop for direct service to Hollywood Studios. It is a bit of a walk to Port Royale, but that isn't an issue for us (and the walk is very pretty). I'll take off a 1/2 star for two items: 1) The energy-saving HVAC won't get the room lower than 68F. That is not a very comfortable sleeping temperature for us. Thankfully there is a ceiling fan, which did help. 2) No elevators to the 2nd floor. Read less

We a great stay at Carribean Beach over the summer. We had a fifth sleeper room in the Aruba building right next to the skyliner stop. Location was so convenient for transportation with both the skyliner and bus stop a few mins from our room. We also really enjoyed the amenities including the drink refill station in our building. The pool was amazing we spent the first few hours we were there before our room was ready swimming and relaxing at the pool my boys had a blast on the water slides we also got a large cheese pizza at the main restaurant in the lobby and it was affordable and really tasty. Room was really clean and comfortable even for a family of five. Whenever we needed anything it only took a quick phone call to housekeeping and they brought it over super quick. The grounds were beautiful my son really enjoyed laying on the hammocks on the beach area and I just loved the plant life throughout the property . We will 100 percent come to stay here again on our next Disney world trip. Read less
