Beautiful area, convenient to Epcot and Hollywood Studios with easy to access Skyliner. Also a short walk or skyliner ride to Disneys Riviera Resort. There is a Joffrey’s Coffee right next to the Skyliner which was convenient in the mornings. Easy access to the main building “Old Port Royal” where restaurant and main lobby is. Overall clean and comfortable.
This Resort is so convenient and spacious. The skyliner makes hoping to Art of Animation with it’s great walking trail and Photo opportunities a breeze. Would look to stay here again.
The staff was exceptional. We had to stay an extra night due to Hurricane Ian and they were very helpful. They worked very hard to help everyone in any way they could
The resort was "nice", but very pricey for what it offers. The rooms and resort are very dated and not worth $400/night. I've stayed in value resorts that were just as nice or even nicer than this one. I've also paid more for rooms and were very impressed. Not impressed with this room at all.
We stayed here several years ago. The rooms are just ok. The hotel itself is very pricey and in my opinion, not worth the cost. The property is clean and well maintained. The updated food court has less to offer their guests. Not much of a variety. Was much better before they did the upgrade. The pool is nice and great for families.
Would. It go back as the cost of this particular hotel is not worth it.

The resort is old, rooms are small for the price. Food and beverage qervice are below average! You pay for the brand: Disnay. The resort is big and you may end up very far from the central pool. A waist of money. You should go to a resort out of disney group, you will save money and get much better service and amenities and quality of food.

Property was pretty. The rooms looked like dingy cheap motel room. Disney also cut back on daily room service. Rooms were a mess daily with wet towels piled up. I was not happy paying all that money and not receiving housekeeping. Not sure why Disney thinks this is acceptable.

Caribbean beach resort is a fun, relaxing resort. However you could be in for a lot of walking/hauling stuff around. If your room is away from the parking area you may not only have to walk further/haul stuff further but may also have to haul it all up the stairs. There are no elevators. The skyliner really isnt that far from anywhere on site, maybe around a .25 mile. And bus stops are at each country but stops at each stop before leaving. For the value this was a nice resort. Light Mousekeeping was done every other with a change of bedding on our 4th night.

Not a great time
Check in had everything messed up. Took 45 minutes to get in. Front desk didn't give us any information. I actually had to ask where are we going. Came back from the park and housekeeper came in even tho do not disturb was on the door and we were taking a nap. Security check they said however no one told us that could happen. Landscaping was rough and hotel ac sounded like a rusty hot mess
We stayed here years ago and this time our room was poorly taken care of. First no microwave…. Even motels have them. Night table connections were broken - fire hazard!!! The mini fridge was not cold enough, the fan was set for winter cicle. The compressor of the ac is about to give up. Every night it would sound horrible wake us up and the room would get hot. I didn’t report to the front desk…too many issues…we were there to have a family fun vacation, I didn’t want to ruined it by complaining…. Not fare for the amount of money. Please report it!!
We spent 7 nights here. After the first night I told front fest we had no hot water and the air conditioning unit was excessively loud all night. The hot water was somewhat repaired, we had warm water the rest of the week but not the ac unit. We had terrible sleep here because of the noise from the ac unit. We had no house keeping the entire stay, only on 2 days we had some towels dropped off and the bin emptied. The room was very small and dark and very dusty. There were cobwebs around the outside edge of the front door, the walkways around the resort had the paint all peeling off and desperately in need of repair. We paid a lot of money to stay here and we’re very disappointed in what we received. I definitely wouldn’t stay again and wouldn’t recommend it either. I spoke to front desk on check out and the did refund me a night and a half back for the inconveniences we had and because they never fixed the ac unit.
My kids really enjoy the pools on this property, the marketown is their best option to eat at because of the plenty food options they get there, I like having a general store inside the lobby incase we need anything or just want to buy more disney merchandise. I do not like however the transportation options. I hate riding the bus to magic Kingdom, the skyliner should go to more parks. The rooms at this property are tiny. You get no microwave, the showers are so out of date, the rooms take forever to get cool and they don't give you fans either. The rooms on the second floor are only accessible by stairs and we didn't know so my daughter who can't walk has special need we struggled carrying her up everyday while on our trip. They could'nt accommodate us because the resort was "full". The shampoo and conditioner inside the restroom only has enough for 5 pumps then it's out. Disney is very cheap when it comes to supplying their guests with basic necessities. When I first arrived at this resort it was raining hard, well an employee came up to me and said I couldn't park my vehicle under the car port that I would have to go park then go inside the lobby to check in. I got soaked in water and my daughter did too and of course it was super cold inside the lobby so the whole hour it took to check in my daughter woke up sick the next morning. I hate how they run this resort. For the amount you're paying I suggest stay at deluxe resort or regular resort where you get more options

Overpriced For The Amenities
There's almost nothing letting you know you're staying at Disney, except the expense.
The property is fine for what it is, but that's not what it's sold as: For the price, it is not a value. The property is laid out almost dormitory style, with the lobby being .5 a mile from your potential building. The amenities boil down to one main pool/restaurant//bar area off of the main lobby, a couple of Motel 6 style pools for the other buildings, bus stops and access to the Skyliner. If you've brought your own car, not a large issue (aside from nightly self-parking fee), but if you're arriving without, you've got a trudge ahead.
Upon checking in, we were only given one room key and a map, no credit card was asked for which I thought was odd but hey, it's Disney, they're pretty dialed-in. The next day, we receive a message via room phone (didn't actually ring), that we needed to come to the lobby. It turns out the check-in agent didn't get a card. Not a huge deal but we did have to walk all the way back to the lobby. The food was...food, and a surprising lack of options for it. Something about this service and lack of amenities at this price just rubbed both my wife and I the wrong way.
We've stayed at almost every Disney property, have always had a positive experience, however this was disappointing, especially for the price. Even the economy level properties have character, this felt like a random Orlando hotel on a retention pond. Do yourself a favor and go up or down a tier.
