Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney resort hotel in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, US.
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is a moderate-category hotel in Walt Disney World with buildings painted in bright colors and tropical design throughout. The property divides into five island-themed areas, each with beaches, pools, and dining venues that reflect their respective regions.
The resort was designed by Walt Disney Imagineering and opened on October 1, 1988 as part of Walt Disney World's expansion. It was among the first moderate-category hotels the company developed, helping expand lodging options within the park.
Each area of the resort showcases architectural elements from different Caribbean countries, blending colonial and tropical design styles throughout the property. The bright colors and local artwork create a setting that reflects the island culture of the Caribbean.
The resort connects directly to Epcot and Hollywood Studios via the Disney Skyliner gondola system, with buses serving other Disney World destinations. The central areas are walkable, but the five island zones spread across the property and may require extra walking time between sections.
The Fuentes del Morro pool complex features a fortress-themed water play area with slides and interactive water features as its centerpiece. This central pool area is often overlooked by visitors who focus only on the island-themed sections of the property.
