Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was great with easy access to the parks, and the rooms provided a fun pirate theme that my kids loved. However, the service left a lot to be desired, especially during check-in, and the dining options were limited. Overall, it was a fun place for a family stay, but I expected more consistent service for the price I paid.
While this resort has beautiful grounds and fun amenities, my experience was overshadowed by cleanliness issues in the room. The transportation system was effective, making it easy to get to the parks, but the dining options left much to be desired. Overall, it felt like there were great potential and value here, but some updates and better housekeeping could really enhance the stay.
We had a great family vacation at this Disney resort. The staff was attentive and made us feel welcome throughout our stay, and we appreciated the spacious room that accommodated my family well. However, the dining experience left a lot to be desired, especially with inconsistent food quality, and getting around the resort was more challenging than anticipated due to its size.
The Caribbean Beach Resort has a beautiful and well-maintained environment with a relaxing atmosphere that's perfect for families. The rooms are spacious and provide adequate comfort, though the housekeeping could be improved as we returned to an unmade room one evening. Dining options are delightful, particularly at Sebastian's Bistro, but the quick service could use more clarity on beverage and dessert entitlements. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor hiccups.
I had a wonderful time at the Caribbean Beach Resort, especially enjoyed the easy access to the parks with the new Skyliner. The grounds are beautifully maintained and provide a truly relaxing tropical atmosphere. The rooms were comfortable, but a little dated. Dining options were quite good, though a bit busy during peak meal times, and while the staff were attentive, I found the overall service could use a smidge more improvement during busy moments.
