Our family of 5 stayed 5 nights at the Caribe in May of this year. We very much enjoyed our stay and have no complaints. Essentially, we wanted to feel like we were staying in a hotel/resort, but wanted the space and the kitchen that a condo would provide;
this place fit the bill for us.

I requested the "Mousesaver's Rate" as quoted on the Mousesaver's website. At check-in, we also requested a higher floor room and extra towelsl. All requests were propmptly honored.

Our villa in Tower 4 looked exactly like the one displayed on the website. We had just the right amount of space, and enjoyed the full kitchen, washer and dryer, and 3 flat screen tvs. We also liked the screened in porch with a ceiling fan, which had a nice view of the lake and fountain.

We received a welcome basket and note because I "friended" the hotel on facebook before our trip, which I thought was a nice touch.

Housekeeping was excellent as was all customer service. The pool was beautiful and my kids enjoyed it very much. We liked the poolside bar for drinks and smoothies.

There was a car gate you had to use to go back to the villas, but my husband expressed that he would have liked to have had more security as in a "guard gate."

Our ride to the parks daily could not have been easier. We did not use the shuttle service.

I would stay here again.
Happy planning!

Thanks for the great review, and for the tip about the Mousesavers rate! This place is moving to the top of my list.

Yes thank you for the wonderful review. I think the mousesaver rate where you get an extra $25 off food only goes through July 30 bookings.
