  • Located on EPCOT Resorts Boulevard in Lake Buena Vista with short transfers to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.
  • Complimentary theme-park shuttle available; proximity makes it convenient for park-focused days.
  • Smaller urban-site footprint than Caribe Royale — more of a hotel campus than an expansive resort ground.

Caribe Royale Orlando – Rooms

Caribe Royale’s inventory centers on villa-style suites and multi-room villas built for families and longer stays.

  • 1,337 rooms (multiple towers) with one- and two-bedroom villa suites that include full kitchens, separate living/dining areas and in-suite laundry.

  • The Venetian Chop House (steakhouse/Italian) is the resort’s signature fine-dining option; reservations recommended.

Pools & signature amenity
