TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

Amazing hotel and resort very welcoming staff and bonus of the skyline cable cars to some parks

I have to say that I am struggling with "moderate" resorts at WDW. Value resorts are generally available at a great price point and they pack a lot for what you pay. Moderate resorts marginally improve on the value resort experience, with the main differentiator being more on-site services and slightly larger rooms. Deluxe resorts raise the bar and are worth the premium. Up until this stay, my "favorite" moderate resort was Coronado Springs... the rooms and overall ambiance is a notch above the rest of the moderate options. So no, Caribbean Beach does not come ahead... but for the price, and the ability to sleep five in some of the rooms with the convenient 5th sleeper option, this is a resort that has a lot to offer. The location also has a lot to offer - the Skyliner access to Riviera, Hollywood Studio and Epcot is a great feature that has significantly contributed to our overall enjoyment of our stay there. Yes, it is a fairly large complex, but we didn't find it problematic to go from where we were, to where we needed to be. Being in the Trinidad section, we were really close to the Skyliner station, we had one (smaller) pool next to our building and the attached restaurant was convenient for breakfast and lunch. The main building was maybe a 10 minutes walk which was fine for us. Yes, those "moderate" resort rooms do have a bit of a motel vibe - even when considering the high quality amenities offered. This has to do with the layout and AC unit. Not much that one can do about that, and the only reason why our stay is rated as "Good" as opposed to "Excellent". The beds were really comfortable. The shower temperature and water pressure was adequate. AC (and heat) worked fine during our stay. WIFI coverage was reliable. The look and feel was modern enough. There was enough space for the 5 of us to move around and store our bags. The room was clean when we arrived and had all the necessary amenities for our party size. Because this section is toward the end of the complex, it is quieter than the rest of the resort. No issues with finding parking and accessing our room. Disney took really good care of us during this stay. Highly recommended

Absolutely amazing time at this resort. The staff are unreal. So friendly and helpful. We stayed in a room in Jamaica and its location is perfect. Right next to the skyliner but close enough to Old Port Royale. Maddie at the front desk went over and above for us. I would 100% recommend the spacious and relaxed family resort.

This was my first visit to the Caribbean Beach Resort and I had a really great experience. My family and I typically stay at the Yacht Club resort, which is our favorite resort. However, the CBR exceeded my expectations. Pros: - Resort is large and beautiful. Definitely got vacation vibes! We walked around the resort, hung out on the beach, etc. - Lobby was beautiful - gave deluxe vibes. - LOVE the Skyliner option for transportation to Epcot & HS - We ate at the quick serve, Sebastian's and had drinks at Banana Cabana (pool bar). All were excellent. I would absolutely visit these restaurants again. Banana Cabana was a very fun atmosphere for a pool bar. - We didn't swim, but the pool looked nice (though not as nice as Yacht Club's Stormalong Bay) - Cast members were friendly and helpful throughout the resort. - Good value, very affordable. Cons: - Rooms were modest - acceptable but could use a refresh. We stayed in the Aruba section, which we liked for proximity to the Riviera Skyliner and Riviera for dining and bus usage.

This “moderate” hotel was more like staying in a 1960s motel with upgraded finishes. Unfortunately, the wall unit air conditioner wasn’t upgraded, and it rattled noisily throughout our stay. It was able to keep the room comfortable during the first two days of our stay, when outside temperatures peaked in the low 80s. But during the last two nights, when outside temperatures peaked in the high 80s, our room was 78 degrees when we tried to go to sleep, only getting down to 75 by the early morning hours (despite being set to 72). We stayed during the second week of March, and Orlando gets much hotter. I would NEVER stay at this resort again, and I cannot discourage you strongly enough to avoid it yourself.
