Disney Caribbean Beach Resort

This resort falls under the moderate category when it comes to pricing. Don’t expect luxury when you’re paying for luxury. If you’ve always wanted to go to the Caribbean and you enjoy the beach, then this resort is just for you.

The rates for this moderate Disney World Hotel begin at $149 per night plus tax. This is for a standard room. If more than 2 adults stay in the accommodation additional costs will be added on. This rate applies for most nights during the Value season. There may be a minimum number of nights stay requirement.

This resort is located in the Epcot area. It is also close to Disney’s Hollywood Studios Theme Park and Disney’s BoardWalk area.

This tropical paradise has been created to give you the spirit of the Caribbean with island palms, exotic birds and architecture reminiscent of early colonial days. The resort is situated on 45 acres of Barefoot Bay.

There are 6 villages to choose from, as the resort is very large, consisting of 2,112 guest rooms and spanning over 200 acres. They include Martinique, Trinidad South and North, Barbados, Aruba and Jamaica. If you don’t want to waste time getting to and from your village room to the bus stop to get to a theme park I would suggest booking at Martinique as its bus stop is the first en route to the theme parks.

Each village encircles its own swimming pool and consists of a 2-storey building. No matter which village you stay at, you’ll step outside and have access to the white sandy beaches of Barefoot Bay. Everyone who stays here has to check-in and out at reception known as Custom House. Even this reception building has been designed to fit in with the Caribbean architecture and atmosphere. If you have no mode of transport of your own during your stay, there is a shuttle service that runs from Custom House to your village of stay, as it may be a fair distance to you room.

This resort has a central complex, Old Port Royale, which houses the food court and offers a full-service restaurant. Here you will also find a lounge for those lazy afternoons, 2 shops and a large pool area equipped with towers, antique cannons and a waterslide resembling a Spanish fortress.

The dining available to guests includes the above-mentioned restaurant and food court, and the lounge where you can eat breakfast, lunch and supper, as well as a to-go market when time is limited. The resort is a non-smoking resort, however there are designated areas for smoking.

Guest rooms offer you a choice of double bed or king size bed, with different potions from standard view, water view or preferred location. Another option to choose from if you wish to be taken up by pirates is the pirate-themed rooms, great for kids. These rooms are kitted out with pirate ship beds and décor that really makes you feel as though you are inside a pirate ship.

The resort offers many outdoor activities. Aside from the 6 village swimming pools and the beach area, there are outdoor hammocks you can float in, numerous different boating options for use on Barefoot Bay, bicycles, Parrot Cay Island playground for the kids and a 1,4 mile promenade that guests may use for exercise and recreation purposes. I think it’s great that there are resorts like this one available because a good dose of physical activity is fantastic for everyone, even when you’re on holiday.
