The resort is in a convenient town. Everything you need for groceries etc. or want for dining out or entertainment is nearby. It is back off the road on a quiet street and only 15 minutes from Disney World and the main freeway. While the resort offers many ammenities, which include washer/dryer, full kitchen, etc. There is no maid service, the towels are counted and they may charge you a maintenance fee for unclogging a toilet, etc. This was very offputting. I was not aware that I would have to wash my own towels or have to empty my trash, as I've never stayed at a "resort" that doesn't offer maid service. I would not have been dissappointed if I had know this going in because otherwise, it's a nice place to stay with everything you need except a vaccum. One other downside was that they don't replace your toilet paper or give you dish soap or laundry detergent. You have to pay for those, yes, even the toilet paper. The condition of the room was just okay. It's lovely with a beautiful kitchen and large screened porch/deck. The carpets were old, flat and stained and the queen bed sunk in the middle so bad it was hard to sleep well some nights. The tv's are also old and small and the restaurant wasn't that great. I probably won't go back there and from now on, I will be checking to see if my "resort" just uses the title or if they actually offer all parts of what I define a resort to have, like free toilet paper refills. . .

We stayed while most of resort was already closed off due to plans to remodel. I believe this will be a great place To vacation once remodeled. The only problem that I see is the size of one bedrooms were small. The staff does need some training which I believe they will get with Festiva in charge.

Amazing hotel/resort. We (my wife and I who drove to Florida from Ontario, Canada) stayed for 9 nights in September 2010 and got an incredible deal through hotels.ca for the 3 bedroom, 2 bath suite. The rooms were very spacious and very clean. The two bathrooms were both extremely large. If we decide to go back again, I would book another stay with Caribe Cove. At check-in, they have a deposit charge that you will get back at the end of your stay, a cleaning fee for when you leave as housekeeping service is not included, plus a small resort amenity fee. It's not much. Details of the fees are on the site. The suite comes with everything you would possibly need. Washer/Dryer, Stove, Large Fridge, Microwave, kitchen utensils, plates, glasses, tons of towels and linens, etc.... Wired Internet which worked great. The pool was open an hour past dusk. At first I was a little concerned, but by 9pm, we already had our daily swim and dip in the whirlpool hot tub, and ready to relax in our room. They also have a steam room and sauna. Our suite also had 3 balcony patios with 3 entry points, one from the master bedroom, one from the living room and one from the 2nd bedroom. The entire balcony was screened in and contained a patio table, ceiling fan and 4 chairs. The rooms are smoke free and if you are a smoker, we noticed you could smoke on your balcony if that's your thing. Suites all have there own Air Conditioning units and controls which was very nice. We had a GPS with us and we were able to find all theme parks easily. You're looking at about a 13-25min. drive to all parks from this resort. The Disney parks are approx. 13-19mins away, depending on which one you're going to. Seaworld was approx. 22 mins. away and Universal was approx. 25mins. There's a huge Walmart Super Center and a huge Publix Grocery Store approx. 2 miles away. There's also tons of Restaurants within 5-10 mins. We had a hard time deciding which to go to, but in the end, we ended up cooking and eating in every night since we were exhausted from all the days activities. We looked forward to going back to the resort, having a swim and relaxing in our room before the next days activities. We ate out once at Universal City Walk's Nascar Sports and Grille after a day at Islands of Adventure. We were seeing Lady Antebellum in concert at the Hard Rock at Universal. The food was pretty good, large portions. We took our own car and did notice that you could probably get transportation from the resort to area attractions. We never looked into it but if you don't have a car, I would highly recommend looking into this with the hotel before booking. We originially wanted free shuttle transportation to the parks before deciding on Caribe Cove. However, after doing all the research, we discovered we could get a much nicer place for our money, being a little farther away from the theme parks. With the places that did offer free shuttle service, we saw that they were scheduled times to and from the parks and they took away the freedom of being able to come and go at your own leisure. This would all depend on the type of traveller, how you're travelling and your purposes of your getaway. We would stay here again, no questions asked!!! In fact, when we got home, we were both disappointed and realized we will be doing some upgrades to our house next year instead of going away to make it look just as nice as our room at Caribe Cove. Thanks for an unforgettable stay.

You need to let your customers know, that the staff that runs your bar and grill,have nothing to do with the resort.One nite i was in the pool area,and i started to get hungry,ask the girl for a menu,and she said the grill was closed,because it was a slow nite,and the cook had cleaned everything .This can tarnish your image of a 4 star resort.MY suggestion is Holded the bar and grill to the some high standed as the resort,I also had breakfast one morning at the grill,the owner was by him self ,i watch this man making my food,take a deliver from a vender,sever 2 drinks take money give change back,and go back and finish my food,i did not see him wash his hands,lwas ready to say something to him,but my wife stop me.I was there 8 days only eat at the bar and grill one time ,because of this.Other than that this place is awesome the staff is great and helpful, map quest in the front office
