The hotel

Bringing the Caribbean to Florida, you can expect endless fun at Disney's Caribbean Beach. Split into 5 islands: Barbados, Jamaica, Martinique, Trinidad and Aruba, you can expect loads of pools to relax in, and so much for little ones to do. Head to one of the lively markets, chill at the beach surrounding the lake, or spend a few hours at the Fuentes del Morro pool, with slides galore, water cannons, and a shipwreck play area. Heading to the parks couldn't be easier - jump aboard the Skyliner gondola and you'll be in Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios in no time!

This was our second visit to this resort after a disastrous stay a few years ago. This stay was complimentary (4 days). The resort, on the face of it, is beautiful. The Skyliner access is a game changer as it really is the most excellent way to get to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Thankfully our stay was complimentary as looking at the prices P/N for this resort I'd have been a bit miffed to say the least if I'd have paid due to the services (or lack of) provided. "Light" Housekeeping every other day (which means a change of towels and trash taken out) and I believe they change the sheets after 4 days. 4 days? Really? Competitors offer a full Housekeeping service every day for a fraction of the cost. Scratch the surface of the Resort itself too and it's clear that maintenance isn't a top priority either. Brown grass patches around the villages, cracked walkways (covered up with white sand from the beach but still clearly visible). Chipped paintwork, flaking paintwork on the paths and woodwork. A lot of trash around the resort too (this was also evident in all parks we went to). Cigarette butts on the paths, pizza boxes stuffed into bins etc. The food is expensive even for Disney standards. No "meal deals" anymore, you pay for everything separately. The Centertown Market is constantly busy and the noise level is phenomenal; if you like the sound of scraping chairs on the floor then you're in luck, this place has this constantly. We stayed off-site prior to our stay here and it was much much more enjoyable. In fact, we wished we'd stayed where we were to be brutally honest and not bothered with our stay here. The only redeeming feature an on-site stay has for us now (at this particular Resort) is the wonderful Skyline access (when it's on, they close it if there's lightning in the area or winds, which was often). We won't return to a Disney Resort now until they up the benefits, sort out the basic Hotel stay expectations and give better value for money. Read less

The hotel is nice, the pool area is great for families, the room is small but ok, having access to the skyliner is a great plus but the housekeeping practices are way below the average hotel standards. We stayed for 6 nights and they did a "light cleaning" twice, which is basically changing towels and taking away the trash. Beds were never made, which is something that you receive every day in an average hotel. We called housekeeping once so they took the trash away and they were rude about it. Don't expect having a relatively clean room during your stay in this hotel. Read less

Great Disney Customer Service from the moment we arrived. Our rooms were not ready when we checked in at 6pm, apology given plus a voucher for entrée, dessert & drink to have while we waited.

Great Disney Customer Service from the moment we arrived. Our rooms were not ready when we checked in at 6pm, apology given plus a voucher for entrée, dessert & drink to have while we waited. The cast member came to find us in the food court to let us know our rooms were ready. Couldn’t have asked for anything more Rooms in Aruba as requested when booked with Disney UK. Loved the Aruba Village area, so close to the Skyliner and Riviera Hotel for extra food options Village pool was very quiet in a morning so could have a good swim. Laundry close by and very reasonable Rooms good, liked the sliding screen that made the wash area more private Fresh towels every other day and rubbish collected Loved the Centre Town market and food court for its quick service via mobile ordering Eating at the Riviera was a lovely change So many reviews say that this is a huge resort. I found it was just right, not too far from anywhere. The walk around the top lake is 1.38 miles - done every morning before breakfast Didn’t use the Disney Transportation as I hate the buses and waiting for them. The Skyliner provided great transport to Epcot and Hollywood Studios with no queuing so only had to use the car for Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom This is a lovely peaceful resort with great theming A lovely contrast to the horrendously busy parks. To be perfectly honest I could quite happily spend my whole vacation in the Resort and not go to the Parks Read less

First I will start with the negatives. Check in was supposed to be 3pm, however we didn’t receive our room until after 4:30pm. We were traveling with my in laws and had requested connecting rooms, we had also paid extra for a preferred room. My in laws received a notice that their room was ready in Martinique, but we hadn’t received any… Read more
First I will start with the negatives. Check in was supposed to be 3pm, however we didn’t receive our room until after 4:30pm. We were traveling with my in laws and had requested connecting rooms, we had also paid extra for a preferred room. My in laws received a notice that their room was ready in Martinique, but we hadn’t received any information about our room. I decided to go to the desk in the lobby to inquire about our room. There was a long line at the desk, with 3 ppl working and 1 concierge. 2 of the check in cast members were busy with guests. The 3rd (Rachel from Anderson, SC) was playing with 2 children. The guests in front of me asked this girl a question, she was annoyed but answered them. I proceeded to go up to the counter and ask Rachel if she could help me, she was annoyed and angry. She kept talking over me as I asked questions about our room. We were in Bermuda while my in laws were in Martinique..I asked her if she could please help put us in Martinique also. She reluctantly called someone and got us a room close to my in laws, but not connecting. She was horrible. She should NOT be in customer service. Next, housekeeping was non existent, they only emptied the trash cans…did NOT replenish towels or anything else. I feel like they could do more at this point in the pandemic. The positives were that the cast members were helpful and polite (except for Rachel from Anderson, SC). The room was very clean upon arrival, shower water pressure was amazing as usual for a Disney resort. The pool was amazing, lifeguards were great with the kids! Banana Cabana had delicious drinks, the Centertown Market food was great despite what others say on here. They have healthy options, the fish tacos were really good. The skyliner was an absolute plus with staying at CBR. The best way to travel around Disney! We were within walking distance to the Riviera, able to use their restaurants and quick service as well. The bus system was okay, preferred the skyliner but we didn’t wait too long for a bus or to get back to our room at the end of the night. I would stay at CBR again, as long as they bring back housekeeping! Read less

Love CBR. Stayed in Aruba which is a great location. Short walk to the bridge which takes you to the main area, or a short walk to the Riviera skyliner stop. At night can see Epcot fireworks. Pool slide is amazing. Tons of kids so great for families. Room is a good size. It's been awhile since it has been updated and it could use a refresh. Plugs… Read more
Love CBR. Stayed in Aruba which is a great location. Short walk to the bridge which takes you to the main area, or a short walk to the Riviera skyliner stop. At night can see Epcot fireworks. Pool slide is amazing. Tons of kids so great for families. Room is a good size. It's been awhile since it has been updated and it could use a refresh. Plugs by the bed did not work. Carpet and decor looks worn out. But still very comfortable. If Disney did update, two things I would love to see: 1) Adirondack chairs on the shared balcony/patio area for some outside seating. 2) more food choices. Everything is pizza, Mac n cheese type food. Good for kids but nothing healthy. Would stay here again and again. CBR and WL are my two favorite places to stay at Disney. We are currently at YC, which you would guess would be better, but it's not. Wishing we just stayed the whole trip at CBR. Read less
