Lake Buena Vista, Orlando

Star rating

The hotel

Full to the brim with fun for all the family, the Caribe Royale is a spectacular resort in the theme park capital of the world. Just a short drive from some of Orlando’s best parks, you can be zipping around those rollercoasters before you know it. But it’s not all about the location. You’ve got pool complete with water slide, plus one for the kids. You have a choice of where to eat and drink all throughout the day and night, or opt for a night-in and enjoy room service in the comfort of your home-from-home. And when the nights roll in, you can put your feet up and watch some movies under the stars.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite for 4 nights (in town for a concert) and truly enjoyed this resort! The grounds and facilities are clean and beautiful. The full kitchen was great, bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice (beds so comfy!) The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. We had a minor issue with our patio door sticking and a very helpful gentleman staff member came to look at it within 20 minutes. The pool areas (towels provided) are lovely. We ate only at the poolside Calypso restaurant and it was great (you get $25 food credit daily included in the price). Market store was great with lots of yummy snack options. We ate primarily outside the resort however, our favorite restaurant was Miller’s Ale House. Loved this resort and would highly recommend! Read less

My husband and I stayed at the Caribe Royale for 3 days while visiting Orlando. We absolutely loved the resort! The suites are very clean, spacious and with a very unique decor. The hotel grounds and facilities were also very nice and clean. This hotel is conveniently located near restaurants and Disney World. They actually offer a free shuttle to the park for their guests. The only bad experience was at their Tropicale restaurant. We went there for breakfast, and after that we decided to eat the rest of our meals elsewhere. The service was very slow, considering how empty the restaurant was, the meals choices were limited, and the taste of the food was mediocre at best. We really expected much better for this kind of resort. Read less

This is the second time we've stayed at one of the two-bedroom suites. They are BEAUTIFUL and the hotel has a very convenient location for Disney and shopping (publix, WalMart). We really appreciate having the full kitchen so we can do breakfasts and some lunches in. Clean, nice furniture, comfy beds, BIG bathrooms, washer/dryer. We've never… Read more

We really appreciate having the full kitchen so we can do breakfasts and some lunches in. Clean, nice furniture, comfy beds, BIG bathrooms, washer/dryer. We've never stayed in the main building (which I think is regular hotel rooms) but can't recommend the condos enough. Read less

The rooms and facilities were great, each staff member we came across greeted us with a smile and were very helpful. Shuttle bus easy to use, we loved the knowledge shared by the morning driver, his passion for his job and Disney was a pleasure to see. Definitely recommend! Read less
