DK Eyewitness "Six distinctive “villages”, with six different Caribbean islands as their theme, comprise this inviting resort."
Rough Guide "Rooms are located in one of six “island villages”, each with its own pool and beach surrounded by nicely landscaped grounds."
Fodor's "A series of palm-studded "villages," awash in dizzying pastels and labeled with names straight from Pirates of the Caribbean, each with its own pool, form this Disney value resort." Full review
Gayot "Spacious, colorful resort filled with Disney magic and nature's beauty."
OysterMid-Range
"The mid-range Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort is a massive complex with 2,112 rooms and six separate man-made islands surrounding a picturesque lake." Full review
Frommer's "Like Coronado Springs, this resort is sprawling with a central pond—1.4 miles around!—except there's an island theme." Full review
Lonely Planet "A Disney taste of the islands means painted beds, pastel rooms, a food court that looks like a street festival during Carnival and a pool with a vague resemblance to ancient temple ruins." Full review

DK Eyewitness "In the style of a medieval fairytale castle, this popular hotel features fanciful surroundings, gargoyles in the lobby, and a large pool."
Rough Guide "A good-value, elaborate theme hotel, complete with Renaissance music and medieval decor."
Star Service "This imaginative nine-story hotel continues to bear the telltale crenellated profile of its theme park masters." Full review
Frommer's "Most of the hotels along International Drive fall into two categories: gigantic convention-fed pillow mills and nondescript low-rise chain-run pillow mills." Full review
Fodor's "You won't really believe you're in a castle at this midprice hotel, although the whimsical gold-and-silver spires... may make you feel as if you're having a Harry Potter moment." Full review
Gayot "Guests are greeted in the lobby with mosaic-tile murals, arched doorways, Renaissance-era music and piped in nature sounds, for what's just the beginning of a multi-layered storybook affair."
OysterUpscale
