Disney’s 2,112-room Caribbean Beach Resort gives Walt Disney World guests an
island-vacation experience in moderately priced accommodations.
Located on 200 lushly landscaped acres southeast of Epcot, the tropically
themed, brightly colored resort’s "island" villages surround a beautiful
42-acre tropical lake. Five villages, made up of clusters of two-story
buildings, are themed in Caribbean styles -- Trinidad, Martinique, Barbados,
Aruba, Jamaica -- that blend cool pastel walls, white-wood railings and vividly
colored metal roofs.
Each building contains 64 guest rooms. A typical 314-square-foot room has two
double beds and accommodates four. Guest rooms include mini bars and coffee
makers. Individual villages have their own swimming pools, white-sand beaches
and laundry facilities.
Guests check in at the islands-styled Custom House. Roadways winding through
the expansive, palm tree-lined resort connect the villages. Caribbean Beach
guests are linked to each other and to the rest of the Vacation Kingdom by the
Disney transportation system.
Old Port Royale, architectural focal point in the center of the resort, has the
feel of a Caribbean village. Stone walls, pirates’ cannons and tropical birds
and flowers lend to the island theming. Here guests find the resort’s shops,
game room, lounge, food court, restaurant and entertainment in a
festive, islands streetscape setting.
Dining options include Captain’s Tavern, a table service restaurant featuring
roasted prime rib and marinated rotisserie chicken. Additionally, six
counter-service restaurants in the food court serve up plenty of dining
choices: Cinnamon Bay Bakery features pastries and desserts; Montego’s Deli
offers a large selection of soups, salads and sandwiches; Bridgetown Broiler
features poultry and All-American fare; Royale Pizza offers pizzas; Kingston
Pasta features Italian fare; Port Royale Hamburger Shop spotlights burgers of
all types. The restaurants border a 500-seat common dining area. The Banana
Cabana, alongside Old Port Royale’s Spanish fortress-themed pool, offers all
types of drinks.
Footbridges over the lake connect the "mainland" with a one-acre "Parrot Cay"
island that has several play areas for children and walkways which afford
scenic lake views during leisurely strolls or a bike ride.
The Barefoot Bay Boat Yard marina rents small sailboats, WaterMouse and other
watercraft. A 1.4-mile tropical promenade around the lake serves strollers,
joggers and bicyclists. Bikes of all types are available for rent.
