Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is a large scale 200 acre Moderate Resort in the Epcot Resort Area with easy access to Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios and Disney's Wide World of Sport.
As the name suggests, the Caribbean Beach Resort takes its inspiration from the tropical islands of the Caribbean.
The resort is split into five different villages; named after the islands of Barbados, Martinque, Trinidad (North and South), Jamaica and Aruba all clustered around a 45 acre lake, the Barefoot Bay.
Each village consists of a group of 2 storey colonial style motel type hotels with exterior corridors disguised by verandas (but no elevators). The buildings are decorated in pastel shades with brightly colored roofs and the rooms are decorated with pale wooden furnishings, tropical prints and potted plants to enhance the tropical feel.
Transportation to the Disney theme parks, water parks and Downtown Disney is by Disney motor coach.

All rooms are around 340 square feet (largest of the Moderate resorts) and will sleep 4 (plus a baby in a crib). Most rooms come with two double beds though rooms with a single king-size bed are available.
There are four different room rates: Standard View, Standard View but with a king sized bed, Water View which overlook Barefoot Bay or Preferred Location where you are closer to the main pool and guest facilities and hence have less distance to walk (located in the villages of Martinique and Trinidad North).
All prices quoted are the general Disney rates (rack rate) per night for 2008 and do not include taxes. Occupancy is based on two adults sharing, extra charges may apply for additional adults. Prices vary by season (see sidebar) and sometimes offers are available. 2007 rates can be seen after the 2008 rates.
