The hotel

Full to the brim with fun for all the family, the Caribe Royale is a spectacular resort in the theme park capital of the world. Just a short drive from some of Orlando’s best parks, you can be zipping around those rollercoasters before you know it. But it’s not all about the location. You’ve got pool complete with water slide, plus one for the kids. You have a choice of where to eat and drink all throughout the day and night, or opt for a night-in and enjoy room service in the comfort of your home-from-home. And when the nights roll in, you can put your feet up and watch some movies under the stars.

My son and I stayed here in April 2025. The room and property was very clean. We enjoyed our stay and had a great time. It is a large property but it was well staffed and we found everything we needed easily

Nice resort, but there are a few caveats. The parking is exorbitant. $34/nt is ridiculous. There are NO umbrellas poolside, so you are just stuck laying int he sweltering sun without shade. I had a king suite and the AC simply didn't do a good enough job. There was always water being tracked into each building because of the central location of… Read more
Nice resort, but there are a few caveats. The parking is exorbitant. $34/nt is ridiculous. There are NO umbrellas poolside, so you are just stuck laying int he sweltering sun without shade. I had a king suite and the AC simply didn't do a good enough job. There was always water being tracked into each building because of the central location of the pool, which was definitely a slip hazard. The thumping music at the pool starts at 9am on Saturday, which is about 2 hours too early. The fitness center is nice, but the equipment needs maintenance and/or upgrades. The pulleys on the machines are not smooth anymore and it's noticeable. The food in the Market (the general store open until 12am) was extremely expensive. $6 for a small water. Otherwise, the resort is clean, smells great, the staff was friendly. The food at Calypso (the poolside restaurant/bar) was good and reasonably priced. Read less

I had a really awful experience at this resort that I need to share. Just hours before our flight, I found lice in my daughter’s hair. I rushed to the pharmacy across from the hotel to buy shampoo, but then I had to wash her hair in the cold shower next to the pool because the hotel staff did not offer us any bathroom or an appropriate space to handle the situation. It was incredibly stressful, especially since we were supposed to be enjoying our vacation. What made it worse was that after I reported the issue, the hotel took 72 hours to tell me that our room was clean and insisted we didn’t get the lice from them. This denial was shocking and frustrating, especially since I was dealing with this problem right there at the hotel, and the staff showed no concern or support. On top of all this, we were charged an extra $38 a day for room cleaning, which I thought would include a proper standard of hygiene. That was not the case. This place seems to only care about its own profits and makes no effort to ensure the comfort and peace of its guests. It doesn't feel like a relaxing holiday resort at all; rather, it resembles a one-star roadside motel where people come and go for just a day, using the pool and gym facilities without being actual guests. I can't recommend this place. The lack of support from management during such a distressing time was completely unacceptable. If you're looking for a resort that truly cares about its guests, look elsewhere! Read less

Definetley, worth the price. Would stay again. BUT the TV in the bedroom wouldn't work. Otherwise it was great. The food was good, the rooms were clean, the pool was really fun, there was a great DJ, check in and checkout were easy, good location, and we had a great time!

We stayed here last August and it was a five-star experience. It’s a gorgeous hotel and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again when we come back to Florida. I will gladly recommend this hotel to anyone. Thank you for a memorable stay!
