Concierge "By far the most interesting Disney-run hotel—and the best choice for guests who aren't enamored of the company's mythology."
Fodor's "Entering the vast atrium lobby is like entering a cathedral with a roof formed of thatch rather than marble." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The impressive glass wall in the lobby overlooks a vast savanna that allows for random sightings of birds, giraffe, and other wildlife."
Rough Guide Star
"One of Disney’s most spectacular luxury hotels, where from some of the rooms... you can wake up to see wildlife grazing outside your window."
Michelin Guide "When booking a reservation at this horseshoe shaped lodge, ask for a Savannah View room, which offers vistas of Animal Kingdom's grazing animals from its private balcony."

The Telegraph9.0

Don't miss the safari at the resort's companion Animal Kingdom theme park.

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
