Excellent family stay

Disney Caribbean Beach Resort is in an excellent location. We stayed in the Trinidad section which is a short walk from a central skyliner stop, and has its own little cafe, pool, and bus stop to go to Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. The area of our room was very quiet, and the rooms had an excellent design with Murphy beds which made the room spacious during the day. what would I improve in the room? 1) Pillows which were not comfortable 2) the barn style doors would not close all the way (it wasn't a huge deal though) 3) better in-resort transportation as the bus takes a very long time (I think it needs to be more golf carts available) 4) Although it was clean, cleaning staff did not clean our room on a daily basis (to get trash, etc). I loved the food in the dining area in Port Royale and being close to the bus stop and the skyliner. The main pool was excellent and the kids really loved it.
A Magical Stay At Disney’s Caribbean Beach

We really enjoyed our stay at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and in particular, loved staying in Trinidad. We’d heard people say it was too far from everything, but we really didn’t find that to be the case. Trinidad is in an excellent location, especially for the Skyliner, and our nearest bus stops were around Blocks 34, 35 and 36. We found getting around the resort and to the parks really easy, and the location worked brilliantly for us. We didn’t find the room too noisy, yes the air con is old but if you leave in the UK you’ll appreciate it either way. We did have some issues during our stay with the room lighting and housekeeping, and while it took some time to get everything resolved, the team on site eventually sorted the situation for us. Despite those issues, we would absolutely stay here again. The service we received and the benefits of staying on Disney property made a big difference to our overall experience. And honestly, even when we were dealing with the room issues, walking around the resort and seeing Minnie Mouse greeting guests or saying goodnight was a reminder of why staying on Disney property feels so special. Those little moments really do bring the magic back. For us, staying on Disney property is definitely the way forward for the right price that we were happy with, and Caribbean Beach would be somewhere we’d happily return to.
Decent Stay at Caribbean Beach

We stayed for two weeks in September. We had pre-booked a taxi from the airport which dropped us off at the main entrance ‘Old Port Royale’. We had also ordered an Instacart delivery of snacks and water for our room which had been left with Bell Services. The Bell Man offered to take us and our luggage in a resort van to find our rooms which we gratefully accepted. When we filled out the preferences for our rooms which we asked for upstairs, and near the Skyliner. Our rooms were in Martinique, not particularly near the Skyliner, and downstairs. But the rooms turned out to be just a two minute walk from the Old Port Royale restaurants and lobby which was very handy. The rooms were dated in appearance but adequate for our needs. The air conditioning, though very welcome, was really noisy at times. The internal door to the adjoining room was not well sealed and had a gap at the bottom so noise was a bit of an issue, particularly when we had a family with young children staying next to us. Food is available in Old Port Royale from 7am to 11pm. You can either do mobile order on the Disney app or queue at the counter. The food is no better than okay. It would be nice if there was a proper bar in the lobby, but for this you have to go to the pool bar which closes at 10pm. You can get draught beer via the food counter and canned/bottles beer from the shop until 11pm. For the Skyliner we could go to either the Riviera or the Caribbean Beach Stations. We could walk to either of them in a bit over ten minutes. In summary I would say Caribbean Beach is an okay place to stay and having the Skyliner is a big advantage. The busses were also pretty frequent and we were always able to board though we tended to avoid peak times. The other advantage over value resorts is that Caribbean Beach has a nice lobby area with comfortable seats where you can unwind after a hard day at the parks. Otherwise there is not much to say go here rather than a value resort.
Excellent even with refurb
lorrainee2016 (Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom) on Sep 13, 2026
Stayed here from the 25th August to the 8th september. Even with the refurb working going on everything was great. Food was nice enough island markets great and concierge desk were very helpful. Pool is great and the kids games in the afternoon were wonderful especially when goofy came to visit!!! Staff were very helpful and the housekeeping were great. Buses to the resort's were always on time and never full (stayed in Trinidad north) Would love to stay again.
Great location, cute theming, & surprising strong dining
Matthew G on Sep 12, 2026
My wife and I had heard mixed reviews about the Caribbean Beach Hotel but were pleasantly surprised with how much we enjoyed staying here on our most recent trip to Disney World. The grounds are pretty, the theming cute, and dining options were nice (I highly recommend Sebastian's Bistro - one of the best meals I've had on Disney property!) The hotel's strongest asset was its location. You can walk easily to the Riviera Resort and the Skyliner is super quick and easy to take to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. We didn't use the pool but it looked nice too. The room are nothing special but pretty standard for a Disney hotel at that price point. Overall, I was impressed with the hotel and would love to stay here again on a future Disney trip.
