Anyone stayed at Caribe Royale lately?

Just saw a $99.00 rate on Mousesavers for this property. The suites accomodate 6 perople and a full breakfast is included. My college -aged kids are planning a trip with their aunt and 7 year old niece in July. I think this is a good choice for them since they will have a car and DD is an AP holder, and they won't have to pay for parking . The hotel also offers bus service. So has anyone stayed here? Opinions needed! We stayed at the Buena Vista Suites a couple of years back, this is a sister property, but not as up-scale from what I understand.

Don't even plan on 6 people sleeping in this room. We just returned and had that exact plan. The kids took the two beds and my husband and I took the sleeper sofa. The sofa bed was the worst I have ever experienced. Didn't sleep but two hours. There was a metal bar in our backs and the matress was as thin as a piece of paper. We both ended up sleeping on the floor.

The pool was very nice. It had a slide and waterfall. They had ample lounge chairs and a pool bar.

The breakfast was a chaotic mess. The food was horrible and tasted as if it came from a 7-11.

I would not stay at this hotel with 6 people again. If I did stay, I wouldn't count of being satisfied the the breakfast. I also got the $99/night rate however, I felt that I overpaid.

IMO the Amerisuites at Calypso Cay (where we stayed our first night) was much nicer. The sofa bed was comfortable. We didn't eat the free breakfast here though, we had PS at CRT. There are 2 pools at Amerisuites. One geared toward children (with a small slide and sprinklers) and another rectangular pool where the adults seemed to be gathered.

Hope this helps.
