The Caribe Royale Orlando enjoys the distinction of a convenient location just minutes from Walt Disney World® Resort. Located in the nation’s No. 1 convention and tourist destination, this property is just emerging from a $127 million transformation that features a distinctly Floridian aesthetic. A full refurbishing of the property’s 1,215 one-bedroom suites and 120 two-bedroom villas is now complete. Each suite is the answer to every planner’s wish list for guest room flexibility, with a dedicated workspace and the living room separate from the bedrooms, a winning layout for attendees to bring family, or hold ad hoc meetings in their room. The two-bedroom villas are meant to impress, and do, with two separate bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, dining area, remote workspace, a private screened lanai, and access to a luxurious private villa pool, all ideal for family after a busy week of meetings.
And speaking of accommodations, the resort’s accessible suites offer guests with disabilities expanded layouts and accessible paths for easy mobility in addition to visual and audio aids throughout the suite, and a bathroom outfitted with custom roll-in showers.
Four ballrooms, 58 breakout rooms, three boardrooms and 20,000 square feet of outdoor event space with water and pool views provide planners with incredible flexibility to ensure all their meeting requirements are met. The all-new 50,000-square-foot Palms ballroom is set amidst a total of 220,000 square feet of the property’s versatile meetings and events space and located on a single level—a rare and coveted amenity for planners.
The Caribe Royale’s enhanced meetings and events program includes creative culinary offerings, dishing up everything from interactive culinary experiences to plated breakfasts, gourmet lunches, delightful break offerings, themed reception stations and dramatic dinner selections. The Caribe’s catering team will work with planners to curate and design menus with a focus on creative engagement for attendees and anything else your group desires.
Another addition to this property certain to excite groups is the new and elevated lobby space certain to become the heartbeat of the hotel. This hub welcomes guests to work, play, caffeinate, collaborate and otherwise indulge in a Rum Bar by Bacardi® and multi-level sports bar equipped with private VR suites.
Hotel dining is sure to delight and deliver for all tastes and includes the premier AAA Four Diamond restaurant, The Venetian Chop House, offering classic steakhouse dishes; the more casual Tropicale for a classic American breakfast; Café 24, located in the lower lobby of the Reception Building serves up ready to-go sandwiches and lighter fare, and Calypso’s Pool Bar and Grille blends Latin and Caribbean influences to max out poolside chillaxing.
After a full day of meetings and delicious catered dishes, your guests have multiple options to burn off those calories. The main pool features a twisting 75-foot water slide and towering waterfalls, or your guests can swim a few laps in two other pools, break a sweat in the 3,500-square-foot fitness center, play a game of tennis or basketball, rent a bicycle, try out catch-and-release fishing, and finally, lay back at The Island Spa and let the professionals pour on the pampering.
