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

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

Frommer's "You’ll find 600 family suites with kitchen areas (microwave, no stove) that sleep six somewhat tightly, two on a sofa bed. The music never stops in the two ginormous pool areas" Full review
