Split into 5 islands: Barbados, Jamaica, Martinique, Trinidad and Aruba, you can expect loads of pools to relax in, and so much for little ones to do. Head to one of the lively markets, chill at the beach surrounding the lake, or spend a few hours at the Fuentes del Morro pool, with slides galore, water cannons, and a shipwreck play area. Heading to the parks couldn't be easier - jump aboard the Skyliner gondola and you'll be in Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios in no time!

My family missed a return flight and stayed here for one night, figuring we couldn't go wrong with a Disney mid-tier hotel. While it isn't that we went wrong, I'd definitely categorize this more as a budget hotel.

My family missed a return flight and stayed here for one night, figuring we couldn't go wrong with a Disney mid-tier hotel. While it isn't that we went wrong, I'd definitely categorize this more as a budget hotel. The air conditioning was poor, the bathroom was ugly, old and cheap-looking, and though the room was technically clean, it was just dingy and didn't feel clean. I could have spent half as much for a hotel near the airport that I suspect would have been on par. For travelers who know they are getting into, this should meet expectations and the price premium comes from its proximity to the Disney parks, I suppose. But a travel agent had recommended this as a mid-range option a couple of years ago before our first trip to Disney, and I would have had a horrible first experience and might not have returned if I'd been based here.

This was our second stay at CBR. Last time we stayed in Aruba but this time we were in one of the updated rooms in Trinidad in building 34. We were slightly nervous but as 34 is the first set of buildings we just had a short walk across the bridge to the skyliner and the bus stop was only a couple of minutes away.

This was our second stay at CBR. Last time we stayed in Aruba but this time we were in one of the updated rooms in Trinidad in building 34. We were slightly nervous but as 34 is the first set of buildings we just had a short walk across the bridge to the skyliner and the bus stop was only a couple of minutes away. The room was lovely, it was nice to stay in an updated room this time. Plenty of room with the Murphy bed out, room under the bed for luggage, we pulled out the 5th sleeper to use as storage too. There’s also a fridge and coffee maker which is very handy. We did have an issue numerous times with our AC unit, it kept leaking inside but it was always sorted quickly with both housekeeping and maintenance. I think CBR gets a bad rep. Everyone moans about how big it is when surely everyone knows how big it is by doing research before they stay and that there’s no lifts to the 2nd floor even though it is stated there aren’t any. Yes the resort is big but from Trinidad it took us only 10 mins to walk to Old Port Royale. We never struggled for a bus and always got on the one we wanted (appreciating that we didn’t go in peak times). The village pools are quieter than the main one which we preferred. Staff were always friendly and helpful. We ended up speaking to management regarding the issue with our AC as it had made some clothes wet and they kindly washed them, returned them the same night and offered compensation. I think having the skyliner is invaluable as the bus can be tiresome at times so wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Read less

Date of Visit: 2022** Our initial stay at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort in 2022 was fantastic. We were assigned a wonderful room in the Martinique zone, conveniently located near the main building. The proximity to amenities made our 5-day stay very enjoyable. **Date of Visit: 2024** This year, our experience was not as pleasant. We booked a 13-day stay and were assigned a room in the Barbados area. This location is quite inconvenient, as it requires a long walk to reach the dining area. When we requested a room closer to where we stayed previously, we were informed that due to the length of our stay, they could not accommodate our request for a closer room. This has been particularly bothersome when needing to refill drinks or use the microwave, both of which require a 10-minute walk (there is not water dispensers in other buildings only vending machines) to Old Port Royal. **Facilities and Services** The pool remains enjoyable, but there were issues with maintenance. For example, the shower area in the restroom lacked shampoo and soap in the dispensers. Such details are crucial for maintaining the quality expected from a Disney hotel. **Positive Aspects** Despite these inconveniences, some aspects of the resort remain positive, such as its prime location and the convenient Skyliner access to Hollywood Studios and Epcot. **Final Thoughts** While the location and certain amenities are still appealing, the decline in service and convenience may lead us to consider other options for our next visit. Attention to small details and guest requests could significantly improve the experience. Read less

Lovely themed resort in the midrange for Disney resort. Central resort lobby building surrounded by 5-6 different island resorts. The buildings are just two stories and the buildings are spread out so it does not seem super crowded. We stayed in Trinidad which is furthest from lobby—a 10 minute walk from the lobby. There are NO elevators, something to keep in mind especially if you have a large stroller or scooter. We were a 5-7 min walk from Skyliner (only transportation to Epcot and Hollywood Studios) and a 1-2 minute walk to one of the 6 bus stops. We had two connecting rooms. Each room had a Queen bed, Murphybed pulldown which is a double and another small pulldown bed. It would be a stretch for this room to accommodate 5 adults but would probably be worth keeping for three smaller kids. Our kiddos are 18,20,21. Room was clean and comfortable. Guest services very responsive to needs and requests (especially when we called noting we had someone with a scooter and needed to change from a second floor to first floor room). Large central pool with kiddie pool area. Also has at least two smaller pools on the outskirts of the resort. We spend the vast majority of our time at the parks so the resort amenities are not of great importance to us. We really enjoyed this resort and would definitely stay here again. May want to consider requesting a room closer to lobby if that is important to you. It is spread out so you will do lots of walking. Read less
