Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort - Lake Buena Vista 28.36714, -81.54305

We have stayed at several Disney resorts and really enjoyed Caribbean Beach. The Pirate Rooms were well worth the extra money plus they had refrigerators. The Pool was really great, especially the children's play area. I also loved how the buildings were separated. I felt like I was staying at a private resort, instead of a hotel. There were pools everywhere and buses that took you around the property. ****My only complaint; THERE ARE NO ELEVATORS so if you stay on the second floor get ready to haul your things up and down the stairs or pay for luggage service.

My kids absolutely LOVED the pool area with the pirate ship and slides. I loved the fact they could play in the water play area and I didn't have to get wet!!I have not seen an area for small kids like that at any other Disney hotel. The restaurant had an hour and a half wait at 8:30pm-- so book early if you want to sit and eat peacefully. The food court food was good but hectic when trying to manage small kids and very busy in the morning. The condition of the hotel rooms suprised me for Disney. They definitely show their wear.

Impressed by the cleaniness

Wonderful stay

probably one of the best pools...2 slides in the big pool...little kid section is adorable...has 3 little slides of its own in a pirate ship that dumps water from a big bucket every few minutes...very clean, room looked brand new...convenient to everything

The bedds were very hard an uncomfortable.. If your not doing anything at the Disney resort make sure you rent a car or the cost of a taxi cab is ridiculous...

Quiet peaceful retreat from all the activity at WDW

We have stayed at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort several time and it is still our favorite of the Disney 'moderate' resorts. Decor, cleanliness and convienience are all top knotch. A safe bet!

Loved it. Only one small issue that was dealt with quickly and courteously.

Caribbean Beach is still one of the best Disney Resorts,it is clean, and it has a freezer, a ceiling fan (so much needed in Florida) =)

If you have kids, can survive without certain luxuries offered at other hotels, and would like a reasonably priced hotel on Disney property, you should stay at this hotel. The rooms were average hotel rooms, but kids would enjoy the pirate themed beds as well as the pirate themed pool. The food court is within walking distance and had plenty of variety, but those with food allergies would struggle at this hotel as it didn't appear that the food court could cater to food allergies easily. All rooms have a fridge, so I was able to save money on food by bringing my own breakfast foods and snacks. The property had lovely grounds that made for a great walk, and you can rent boats and bikes if you need a break from the theme parks. There was plenty of space to relax with multiple beaches and pools. The towels in the room were thin, and you must bring your hotel room towels to the pool. Daily cleaning service began a little early for me (8:30 am). The hotel is great for the price I paid considering it is on Disney property, but I missed a few luxuries that can be found at other Disney hotels(such as a spa and room service). A great option for families on a budget...

Loved everything, they do a great job. Everything was so well taken care of.

Convenient to buses for Disney parks. Bus service needsd to put more buses on at peak hours. We got an adjoining room to our son and daughter-in-law's room without even requesting which was perfect. Grounds and pools are beautiful. Restaurants offer a nice variety of food choices. People at check in were extremely nice and friendly. The only problem encountered was that although a crib had been requested for our son's room it was not there at check in and it took more than an hour and a half to get it. Not good with a tired child. Room was pleasantly furnished and clean. the price we paid was good but would not pay full price. disney resort hotels are overpriced in general.

Folks were friendly and welcoming at check-in. They had given us an adjoining room to our son, his wife and daughter which was extremely convenient. All employees were friendly and helpful. Only complaint was that a crib had been requested by our son when reservation was made, it was not in room when we arrived and it took over an hour to finally get it. We all agreed next stay we would plan for a day just to stay at the hotel and enjoy the facilities. We spent most of our time at parks.

checking in was quick and easy, our room was clean and quiet, it was great to just get on the bus into the parks.

We stayed only two nights and did not get to enjoy many benefits offered as we spent two days at the Magic Kingdom and one day at Downtown Disney. Kids really enjoyed the pirate themed pool. I liked the bathroom area with double sink outside the tub and shower area. We would definitely stay again.

Very nice, clean. The main pool is awesome for younger children! I thought the food would be better though.

Hotel check in staff went out of way to accommodate placing us near family members checking in the next day; this is an enormous property and this made a great deal of difference in our satisfaction with the stay

I loved staying at this resort and we are going to plan a vacation next year at this same resort. I would recommend this resort to anyone who is looking for an awesome Disney Vacation

Outstanding accommodations. Highly recommed due to the cleanliness and conveniences. Couldn't be more accommodating. Shuttle transportation unsurpassed! Rooms nothing fancy but does have refrigerator and table and chairs and extremely clean. Nice size room with double sinks and of course, when in Disney, who spends time in their room. I will be returning to this resort for all future visits.

Room was cleanbutsmelled funny. Arrived late, approx 11:30pm, and there wsa only 1 person registering guests so we waited almost 30 min to register. Be prepared for a long walk to the food court area! Each area did have a nice pool and beach area. Did find it odd that they did not provide towels at the pool, you had to bring the bath towels from your room. Overall, it meet our needs but did feel it was a little pricey...

This hotel was so much better than I ever could have imagined!! This was our first time at Disney and there are so many choices for hotels I am so glad we choice CB. Our room was great for our family of 4. The staff was very accomodating to our requests, which was placed 1 week prior, we had ajoining rooms with friends and placement into Martinque building. The main pool and kiddie pool with pirate ship was awesome my kids loved it. The pictures of the hotels truly do not do it justice. Even the little beaches were so much better than I expected. Everything was much bigger than I thought. Disney did a great job. Disney reminds me of how customer service should be. I was thrilled to see they even have lifejackets at the pool area. This moderate level hotel far exceeds most high end hotels that I have visited for work because of the customer service, cleanniness, and pools (all 9 of them). Worth the great rate we got for!!!

We have stayed at CBR twice. We love the beaches with chairs and hammocks. The resort is so beautiful and has LOTS of great pools. We absolutely will stay again.

Accomadations were very nice. There were 2 adults and 2 teen age girls in our room and we had plenty of storage and space for all of us to move around and rest. Room were clean and comfortable. The resort itself can be fun for a day or so with pools shopping and eateries. Transportation to the parks was constant and never had to wait but a couple of minutes for a ride to the parks. The staff was nice and very professional. I would definately return with the Family.

This family hotel is spotless, and the rooms are rather spacious and clean. This is a FAMILY hotel only, for people going to the Disney parks. I was there for a convention, and I think the location couldn't have been worse! Apart from Disney, which is a 10min drive away, there is absolutely *nothing* around this hotel (and Orlando is 30 miles away). You're immersed in a 100% fake environment (again, very well maintained), with no city life around it whatsoever, no restaurants apart from a tacky food circle, no cafes, no real lobby. To move about within this complex, you have to either drive or take a shuttle bus. The place is dead at night. The heated pools are nice if you like to swim, though. Consider yourself warned: this a golden prison!

There were only two things that disappointed me about my stay at the Caribbean Beach Resort: 1) I had requested a king size bed but was put in a room with two full sized beds. This was not the most convenient size for me and my husband. 2) I am pregnant and had morning sickness on the day that we were supposed to check out. We called the desk and they were unable to give us an extended checkout time. We tried to negotiate with housekeeping for us to the be the last rooms in our section that they cleaned, but housekeeping kept knocking on the door every 5 minutes to ask us when we were going to leave and they kept the door propped open and kept coming in without knocking and turning on the light. My husband was trying to help them out by bringing them linens, stripping the beds, and cleaning up around the room so that they wouldn't have as much to do, but they still would not leave us alone even though by the time we left, they were not done cleaning rooms in our building. I just hated the insensitivity that was shown because I was feeling really bad and couldn't stop throwing up and would have been very appreciative if they had just let me lay there for a second until it all passed. Instead, we left and as we were driving down the road, my husband had to pull over on the side of the road multiple times so that I could throw up. No pun intended, but that sort of treatment left a bad taste in my mouth. :(

Haven't stayed here since honeymoon (12 years ago), my family and I loved it. The new childrens and theme pool are out of this world and we could have stayed there all vacation. The staff was remarkable, my 4yo son threw up (not due to hotel, it was a combination of things) in the bed around 11pm we called housekeeping they were up to our room in less than 10 minutes, and stripped and remade the new bed without even disturbing our 2 yr old, we tipped them, but they didn't even expect it!

The Caribbean Beach is a "on the property" hotel and therefore serviced by Disney transportation network (no charge for guests). That's the best part of staying here. Rates drew us for a brief fortnight to attend the Food & Wine Epcot show. Razor thin towels, funky odors, and well-worn furnishings await - and that was in the "renovated" section!! If you can afford the upgrade to another section (Yacht Club, Swan, etc.)don't even consider, otherwise it's tolerable for a quick Disney family trip. Cafeteria dining and plenty of pools on site.

I really liked the set up of the hotel. Very close to Epcot. I stayed at Jamica and it took only 5 minutes to get there from Epcot. The room was clan and convinient. The only negative was, it didnt have free internet. It cost $10 for 24 hours which was too much. I would recommend this hotel to everyone.

It was great to be so close to multiple locations that the hotel bussed you too. The cost wasn't worth the transportation though. Room was average at best.

Nice hotel, with many of the ammenities of the higher priced hotels. Very friendly staff, willing to help with any of your needs. The location is very convenient and transportation is readily available.

There was no central AC only a unit in the window which could be set at high or low. At night I was cold and during the day it was hot. I wish they had thermostats. The hotel was enormous. I had building 56. It was a very long walk to the food concessions. They closed early so I was hungry one night. The hotel restaurant was booked full the next night and I had a hamburger at the stand.I did not have a car and I had to take taxis everywhere. I had to stand outside and wait because my building was not next to the parking lot.Otherwise it was fine.

This was an excellent Disney hotel. I highly reccomend this hotel to anyone going to Disney World. The convience of it being on property was excellent!!!

The main pool was closed for renovation. I was very disappointed to find this out after we had arrived. The rooms were not discounted due to this renovation. It was not worth the money spent.
