Getting around: shuttles, rideshares, and on-property transport
Caribe Royale Orlando offers several on-property transport options: a resort shuttle that circles the property, a scheduled complimentary Disney shuttle (reservation required at the Concierge Desk), and standard rideshare/taxi options for trips off property.

On-property resort shuttle
Caribe Royale Orlando operates an on-property resort shuttle that connects the Main Reception Building, Towers, Villas, Convention Center and the sister hotel Buena Vista Suites. The resort shuttle is described as a 12-passenger van service running from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
Stops are convenient for moving around the campus if you prefer not to walk between buildings, meeting spaces and the Reception Building. The shuttle runs on a schedule rather than continuously, so allow time during peak event hours.
- Hours: roughly 7:00 AM–11:00 PM
- Vehicle: 12-passenger van
- Stops: Main Reception Building, Towers, Villas, Convention Center, Buena Vista Suites
