Caribe Royale Orlando

Lake Buena Vista, Orlando

Virgin 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.

This hotel is beautiful and the staff is amazing. All meals were fantastic! The shops onsite were wonderful, everything was perfect! My favorite is the Market with all the cakes and pastries. Starbucks onsite - opens daily at 6 am. We had a great time, I will definitely be back!

Great resort with free Disney transportation! Only issue we had with our stay was that the A/C wasn’t that good. Otherwise, lovely staff & Tropicale has delicious breakfast. The Market needs more variety of snacks especially for those that like to snack late.

I didn't have any issues during my stay. There is a good steak restaurant on the property. Read less
