Why You SHOULD Stay at the WORST Disney World Hotel According to Yelp

Some Disney World hotels seem to get all the fame and glory, while other resorts are killing it with no recognition.

Today, we’re going to stop talking about Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Disney’s Riviera Resort and start talking about Yelp’s worst-rated Disney World resort.

We love checking out Yelp to help give us a sense of how a restaurant or a hotel might be. There is one hotel on Yelp that we recommend even though it doesn’t get much love: Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort.

Caribbean Beach is a Moderate Resort with 1,536 rooms located in six villages around a 42-acre lake.

Caribbean Beach Resort is known for its Caribbean theme. This resort is very spread out and large. It can easily take 15 minutes to walk from the farthest rooms to the main building, Old Port Royale.

Before we dive into more details about this resort, check out Quincy’s video right here.

1. The Price

Caribbean Beach is considered a “Moderate” resort, so the prices reflect the mid-price range of the Disney World hotels. On average, a standard room costs between $230 – $335 per night.

When you take the atmosphere into account, the price is pretty reasonable!

2. The Atmosphere

The centerpiece of Caribbean Beach is its 45-acre lake, Barefoot Bay, surrounded by a 1.1-mile promenade that connects to winding paths leading to all guest rooms and common areas.

The promenade is great for strolling, jogging, and bicycling. In the center of the lake is Caribbean Cay, an island with a playground, picnic area, and lots of lush foliage. Caribbean Cay is connected to the promenade on each side by a footbridge.

3. The Pool

Each Caribbean Beach Resort village has a pool, plus there’s the Pirate-themed main pool, Fuentes del Morro pool, at Old Port Royale, with an adjacent wading pool and whirlpool. All pools are heated, which makes for comfortable swimming year-round. The whirlpool is kept very toasty.

If you’re looking for a pool with less activity, you can also check out the quiet pools located in each of the regions: Barbados, Martinique, Aruba, Jamaica, Trinidad North, and Trinidad South.

4. The Food

Old Port Royale features the Centertown Market, open from 6 a.m. to midnight, with more limited hours for some of the counters. Breakfast selections include bagels, fresh fruit, Mickey waffles, eggs, and breakfast meats. Lunch and dinner selections include burgers, pizza, pasta, deli sandwiches, salads, and desserts.

Spyglass Grill is a small quick-service spot near the Trinidad pool area. It served up sandwiches, burgers, and a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Room Service options at this resort are limited to Blue Runner Pizza Delivery, which offers pizza and drink delivery to rooms from 4 PM to 11:30 PM.

Sebastian’s Bistro is a full-table service restaurant located in Old Porte Royale. It is open from 5 to 10 PM and Advance Dining Reservations are available.

Banana Cabana is the resort’s main pool bar, located near the Fuente del Morro pool. It is open from 12 PM til 11 PM and serves up burgers and assorted foods as well as a full bar menu.

5. The Skyliner

The main hub of Disney’s Skyliner is located at Caribbean Beach, south of the Jamaica Village, placing Caribbean Beach Resort in a prime location due to its easy access to both Epcot and Hollywood Studios via the Skyliner.

Caribbean Beach is also next door to Disney’s Riviera Resort. Guests in the Martinique village can easily walk to the Riviera to take advantage of the Skyliner Station located there as well.

So there you have it! We hope we inspired you with a few reasons you should consider staying at this Disney resort. It may not be the newest, flashiest, or fanciest, but trust us, between the location and the atmosphere, you will not be disappointed. In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.
