Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort


Mjau, we have stayed at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort twice. The first stay was in the standard room and the second stay was in the pirate themed room.

The pirate room at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort! We love the beds, mjau!


Mjau, sailing away in our bed to dreamland!



We absolutely loved the Pirate room as we love pirates. The beds were designed as pirate ships and were so much fun to play on. They were a bit on the smaller side, a little too narrow for all us siamese to sleep side by side. We told our butler to sleep on the ground to make more room but she refused! We do not understand why, our butler would have made the perfect Tick-Tock the Crocodile! Mjauhihi!

Land Ahoy! Mjau, so much fun playing on the bed!

We really like all the small details in the room. Like a barrel as a night stand and lanterns as lamps. We also really like the print on the carpet. Mjau, we also really like that the room has a carpet.
Disney has started removing carpets and replacing them with hardwood floors in the hotel rooms. This is to create a more modern look and probably also for hygiene reasons. While it might work for the theming for some resorts at Disney, it is not suitable in all the resorts. Having just the hardwood floor without a carpet makes the room feel less welcoming and a bit cold. Just adding a small carpet or throw on the floor would create some warmth.

We like the print on the carpet!
Mjau, our night stand is a barrel!






















Mjau, nice Pirates of the Caribbean detail on the mirror in the bathroom.

The bathroom was not anything extra. Just a normal bathroom for our butlers to do their morning meditation and scrub off the dirt and grime from themselves before they get in our beds. Mjau, disgusting butlers! We would have liked the bathroom to be a little bit more pirate themed. It was a regular shower and bathtub with a somewhat pirate themed shower curtain.

Mjau, we would have liked the bathroom to be more pirate themed.



The standard room at the Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is also really nice. The interior design is subtle and has a relaxing feel to it. The beds are bigger than the beds in the pirate room. We prefer the bathroom in the standard room. This is mostly because we prefer to have a slide door instead of a curtain. We also think that the theme in the standard room matches the bathroom better. The bathroom in the pirate room felt unfinished and a bit tacky.


The standard room at Caribbean Beach Resort is also really nice!

Mjau, big bed and relaxing theme!

One of the best parts of Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is the dining options. They have the Centertown Market for quick service and take away food. They also have Spyglass Grill which was close to our building. We never tried the food there but one evening we got free muffins at the nearby bus stop, so we think they were from the Spyglass Grill.  They have Banana Cabana for drinks and some delicious Caribbean food. It's so relaxing to grab a drink and enjoy the beautiful view of Barefoot Bay. Sebastian's Bistro is the delicious table service restaurant at the resort. The real gem of Sebastian's Bistro is the Caribbean Pull-apart Rolls. Mjau, they are so delicious!




Delicious dinner at Sebastian's Bistro!



Mjau, you can get delicious snacks at Banana Cabana

The resort is spread out into different areas named after Caribbean Islands. Some guests might not like that the resort is so spread out. We call those people lazy! Mjauhihi. We really enjoy that you can find several hammocks and benches along the bay. This gives us Siamese cats several private corners to play in. Just beware of the scary robots under the bridge!

Mjau, Captain Hook-Si and Jafar riding the turtles on the beach!

The Caribbean Beach Resort also has an island where you can play and relax. They also have a playground on the Island, which we never visited. Movies Under the Stars is also on the Island. The Island connects Old Port Royale, the main building, to Aruba and Jamaica. Trinidad and Barbados is on the same side as Old Port Royale.

Si and Au enjoying the view from the island. Mjau! You can see the amazing pool area!

Mjau, we found a small gazebo on the Island to relax in.

Mjau, basically all the dining is in Old Port Royale. We really like the Old Port Royale area. Although we sometimes wish the main pool was somewhere else as it can be a bit noisy at Banana Cabana if there are running and screaming children.

It looks like a village!

Mjau, a really nice fountain!

The only transportation from the resort to and from the parks is by bus. This will however soon change with the opening of the sky gondolas. Mjau! How exciting! This change is much needed as the resort is quite big and it takes some time for the bus to reach all the stops at the resort.

We really like the Caribbean Beach Resort. Our butler likes it as the standard room is more gentle on her wallet. The dining options here are really good. The downside is the transportation. But with the sky gondolas this will change. We would really like some boat transportation though, mjau...
The theming is amazing and transports you to the sunny Caribbean and makes for a relaxing stay.

Our butler had never visited Tokyo Disneyland before so we decided to drag our butler out of their cave and generously treat them to a week ...
