Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort

Now I have to say that we are 100% loyal guests of Disney's Port Orleans Riverside; however, for a change of pace, we decided to spend one night at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort -- and I'm glad we did. This is a Disney moderate resort and so the rooms are structured the same here as they are at POR -- only difference is the theming. Fun rooms with a double sink vanity, standard shower/tub combo, mini fridge, coffee maker etc... some rooms have the extra pull-out bed. We were located in the Barbados section, which was a very convenient walk to the main pool, hotel lobby (Old Port Royale) & food court (Centertown Market -- check out my other review on them as well!!). Our Caribbean Beach bus stop was also close and we never had an issue with delayed busses. However, this is a massive resort so I can see that if you were on the other side of the property it'd be a lot of extra steps on those weary feet! We did not take the Skyliner to/from the parks on this trip but the Aruba section would be the closest to it. You can also head next door to the Riviera Resort to dine and/or catch a bus if you prefer. We loved the tropical/beach theme and enjoyed swaying in the hammocks on the sandy shores in the evening. Food court had several options and we ate there for both dinner and breakfast... though it did not seem as spacious as POR (maybe I'm biased!). However, our food was great and the staff was always friendly.

Been here before, booked Jamaica to be close to Skyliner cuz this is a biiig resort. Love the food court, grabbed food & headed to Epcot, so convenient & great ride. Keith Gilmore, one of the duty managers, helped me figure out how to get to MK & Poly. Appreciate him, cuz it takes 3 transfers! Do Skyliner to HS, then bus to MK, then monorail to deluxe resorts. Good thing it's a fun ride, lol. Hotel so pretty & pastel, love looking around, great shops & staff.

This hotel was amazingly located with the skyline enabling you to easily get to Hollywood studios and Epcot. Also the buses that get you to magic kingdom and animal kingdom. We had 3 in the room. My son had the pull out sofa bed and me and my husband had the double. Air con was great. Shower good pressure. My hairdryer didn’t work well because of the voltage difference from the UK. No wear really to hang clothes would be the only thing. We don’t use any of the facilities in the room as we literally only slept and showered here. But we would 100% stay here again.
