Bonnet Creek or Caribe Royale?

[Stacey in MD]

Hi,

We are planning a couple extra days after our Disney cruise in December. We usually stay on-site, but since this is in addition to the cruise, I would like to keep the cost down. We are a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 boys - 7, 9, 11), so standard hotel rooms are usually a challenge for us.

Both Bonnet Creek and Caribe Royale appear to have a decent amount of space. Can anyone give me any advice on which would be a better choice?

Thanks!!

Bonnet Creek is closer to Disney (its next door to Caribbean Beach surrounded by Disney property) and a 2 bedroom is about half the cost of Caribe if you rent it from ebay or another timeshare owner.

Caribe Royale is not a timeshare, so you are dealing directly with a hotel. You can get Bonnet Creek from Wyndham, but it is more expensive to do than getting it froma timeshare owner.

Caribe has more food options onsite, for example a breakfast buffet, and some of its villa deals include breakfast, but not all.

If you can stay in something a little smaller (but still way bigger than a Disney hotel), Buena Vista Suites, which is next door to Caribe, goes for around $100 a night and includes free breakfast.
