Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is a resort which is located in the Walt Disney World Resort. It is located in the Epcot Resort Area of Walt Disney World, close to the waterpark Typhoon Lagoon and is classified as a moderately priced resort. The resort started operating on October 1, 1988 and is owned and operated by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
The Caribbean Beach Resort is designed with a Caribbean theme. Guests stay in one of the small buildings that encircle Barefoot Bay, a 45-acre (180,000 m2) lake. Buildings are grouped into one of six villages, with shared resources, each named after an island in the Caribbean: Martinique, Barbados, Jamaica, Aruba, Trinidad North, and Trinidad South. There is also a bus that travels throughout the entire resort to get from each village to the next. Each village has its own swimming pool and some also have their own playgrounds.
Resort facilities are located at Old Port Royale Centertown, a building that contains a restaurant, a food court, arcade, and two gift shops.
The shores of the bay feature beaches, hammocks, and other activities such as beach volleyball. The resort also features various water sports at the Marina, where resort guests can rent various watercraft, such as paddle boats and speed boats by the half-hour.
Guest rooms are decorated in a Caribbean style with pastel tones and each island village has slightly different themes. In 2009, Disney began work redesigning some rooms to a Finding Nemo theme. In January 2009, Disney refurbished many rooms in the Trinidad South village with a pirate theme.
Caribbean Beach Resort offers a variety of dining options including sit-down restaurants, lounges and bars, and quick service restaurants.
