Caribe Royale Orlando, Orlando

Everyone that worked here with the exception of one very rude bell "boy" was very very friendly and helpful, polite and nice. If you plan to visit the disney parks make sure to inquire about the free breakfast timeshare. My family of 3 saved over $400 by spending 2 hours one morning having a free breakfast and talking to some real nice people about timeshares. There was no pressure at all and it was actually enjoyable. WELL WORTH IT!!!! The shuttle buses always run late and my daughter actually missed out on her skydiving apointment because the COORS shuttle was 1/2 hour late. This was SOOOO disappointing to us since it was her 16th birthday gift and she never got to do it. If you take the shuttles, keep in mind that they go from hotel to hotel and from park to park so its always well over an hour to get back to your hotel. Bring your own water to the parks! We spent an arm and a leg on water. You can buy it by the case right across the street at the CVS Pharmacy and bring it into the parks. There are healthy choices if you are trying to eat healthy while on vacation. All the parks offer veggie burgers, salads, whole wheat wraps, fruit.....I eat healthy and did not have a problem finding healthier food choices. There is a chinese restaurant across the street that has great steamed vegetables! There is also a pizzaria that will deliver to the hotel that has great whole wheat pie and veggie options, salads, etc.... The only healthy food out by the pool is the fruit platter ( and they put a few small slices of banana bread with it which is hard to resist even though I am sure that its not the healthiest! LOL) The tips are invcluded in the outdoor bar food prices. The gym is very nice and clean with friendly people that work there and are very helpful. The pool is loud with kids everywhere. You cant get away from them! Our daughter is 16 so we just wanted to rest and nap and that was quite impossible. It is a fun pool for the kids with the water fall and slide though!! We did not have a deck or balcony like the pictures showed and I'm not sure if any of the rooms actually did have one so that was a little disappointing. Room service was not the best either. They forgot to bring something up that we paid for so i called them and they said they would bring it right up and never did, The girl who answered the phone for room service was not so nice either now that I think of it. The pictures are much nicer than the place actually is. I had a decent time but honestly would never recommend or stay here again only because I know there are so many other places that are much nicer for the same rate.

it was simply stunning from the moment we walked in; the room was awesome. it was our daughters 1st trip to disney and definatly the best place ive ever stayed; very friendly staff; most helpfull; beautiful pools; we enjoyed our stay completly and coming back to this hotel every evening was icing on the cake. its a memory all three of us will never forget. i cant see how one person can say anything negative of this place; i have friends here in michigan who have stayed here also; they say its on the top of their list too. so if your thinking of booking- dont hesitate- you wont regret it!

I chose this resort on a whim....not knowing much about it!! I needed a deserved break!!! I checked in late ( because i called ahead to inform about traffic) Yes it was a road trip...but i'm happy i made it. My children enjoyed themselves so much,....they didn't want to go to Disney World. Go figure!!! their ages 10 and 7. They made new friends at the resort. What i disliked and what wasn't clear was the vallet parking...i was charged twice in one day....only one day was credited...great service for check in and out...didn't really use the concierge. Housekeeping was awesome because my little one had an accident and they responded quickly. Staff was awesome. Food was awesome i wish they had more vegetarian selection but i was ok going out if needed. it was worth my time and money..suggestion plan ahead ...your trip will be smoother and enjoyable!!! I'm planning for New years as we speak. thank you and this is added to my list of favorite unheard of places.

Overcharged my credit card by $350 and refuses to fix it, if there is a manager they hide them I have been asking to speak to one daily and no one will return my call, accounting department is unprofessionally rude. Oh, and our villa smelled like cigarette smoke.

My boyfriend and I just came back from Orlando. We stayed at the Caribe Royal from 12/20-1/2. We got a great package deal on hotels.com. This hotel was fantastic. We had great service and everyone was pleasant, including other guests. The location was really great. The suites with the living area and the door really helped to add to the privacy. The room looked just like the website. They had movie night out by the pool during the week of Christmas and New Year's. The fitness center was great, as well as the arcade. The breakfast at the Tropicale was really good. All in all, I will most definitely stay here again.

Great size and value. Clean large rooms. Close to Disney. Shuttles to Disney, but not the greatest times - about once an hour in morning and evening. We rented a car to have more flexabity, but remember it will cost $14 + tolls to park at the theme parks.

We stayed at the Caribe Royale recently in one of the 2 bedroom villas. We felt that this hotel was a great value, clean, great location, awesome pool, service was exceptional, restaurants were very nice and the 24 hour all night deli was very helpful. I am pretty fussy and I did not find one issue to complain about. We would most certainly return without hesitation.

Oh wow this hotel was amazing. We stayed here for 3 nights for a pageant that was in one of the ballrooms over in the convention center. We went to the pool everyday that we were there. It has a kiddie pool, a waterfall, a waterslide, a little bar, 2 hot tubs, and so much more. We stayed in one of the one bedroom suites in tower 2, we had a view of the pool, 2 queen beds, a seperate living room, 2 tvs, and a nice little kitchen area. Even with only 2 beds we figured out a way to make room for 7 people to sleep in the room comfortably. I have nothing but good things to say about this hotel. I have no complaints at all. I would deffinatly recommend this hotel to anyone that wants to stay in a resort type hotel. They had great service and brought us towels and came and made the beds when we asked (since we still had some people sleeping in the room when housekeeping came) This hotel also offers babysitting, which we didn't use I'm not exactly sure how i would feel about someone I don't know watching my kids, but that is a pretty cool thing to offer that I don't think i've ever seen in a hotel. We had some smoothies down by the pool one day, it was so relaxing, I wish we were still there. We didn't go to any theme parks while we were there, but we did drive past sea world, and aquatica on the way to get some dinner, so it was very close to those theme parks. We only live about 2 hours from orlando but I would love to come back. The hotel was fun in itself, just to get away, you wouldn't even have to go to a theme park to have fun here. Go to this hotel if you want to get away I was very impressed and can't wait to go back!

First of all the good- the one bedroom suite was nice, and the restaurant and pool staff were superb. The kids loved the big pool with the slide and waterfall. However, our problems started at check-in. The front desk clerk was clearly not well trained, and had to ask others clerks several times how to process our check-in. The "concierge" is not really a concierge but just a salesperson for timeshares, who then got rude when I decided not to show for the timeshare presentation she booked me for due to a language barrier. I have better things to do on vacation than going to a sales pitch. Housekeeping failed to clean our room two of the seven days we were there, and one morning the housekeeping staff tried entering the room despite a "Do not disturb" on the door. The location is OK but fairly isolated- nothing much in easy walking/driving distance. There are much better values for the money in the Orlando/Disney area.

I really liked the hotel. The pool closed too early for the kids but no other complaints other than that. The room was very clean. I really liked the family scene. The water slide in the pool is great for the kids. Will stay there again and again.
