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
