Fodor's Expert Review Caribe Royale Orlando

This imposing, award-winning resort, at the end of International Drive close to Disney, takes its name seriously, with everything—from the pink exterior to the pools and landscaping to the Audubon-style drawings of flamingos, pelicans, and lush vegetation that adorn the interiors—designed to create a tropical haven. Accommodations are great for families, as the suites have a separate bedroom, plenty of USB charging stations, a spacious living area with a sofa, and two TVs. The two-bedroom villas have fully equipped kitchens, dining areas, and laundry suites. On-site amenities include a spa, two outdoor swimming pools, a 75-foot water slide and kiddie pool, two hot tubs, private cabanas, a catch-and-release fishing pond, a two-story fitness center, a running trail, and athletic activities.
