Just stayed at the Caribe for the first time this past August. It was our first off site stay so i was very apprehensive. But happy to report we had a great time!!
It was my husbands birthday so we got one night free with their birthday deal. Couldn't believe the amount of goodies sent to the room. Even a free cabana at the pool for the day.
The kids (ages 5, 9, 12) loved the pool area. It had waterfalls, a slide and a great children's pool. There was the pet parrot kept by the pool which actually talked to the guests.
The room was fine for 5 guests. We only stayed 2 nights. I think if we stay longer we may try the 2 bedroom villa. The couch pullout sofa was getting rather uncomfortable. The one bedroom standard room had a fridge, microwave and coffee pot.
They had a coffee shop on premise but it closed early. I heard the main restaurants were really good but we chose to eat at the Disney Hotels and nearby chain restaurants. We found plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby. My little ones shoe broke and we found a target about 10 minutes away. One night we ate at a Bahama Breeze about 5 minutes away. Disney was also about a 5 minute drive. One road right into the main gate.
I was very impressed by the atmosphere. Everything was very clean, well kept grounds and the staff was extremely nice!
Like I previously said, we have only stayed at Disney Hotels since I was a little kid, but i really enjoyed the Caribe. With a family of 5, it's getting a little pricey to stay on property. So this may be our choice from now on.
