5 Favorite Things about Caribe Royale Orlando

January 10, 2023 | Travel

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Caribe Royale Orlando, however, all opinions are my own.

Back in October, we had the privilege of staying at Caribe Royale Orlando. I had seen “the big pink hotel” many times and was super curious, so I was excited to actually see what it was all about! To say we were blown away is an understatement! They recently finished up a HUGE renovation, and did an amazing job. I could go on and on about this place, but for now will just give a quick overview of 5 reasons we loved our stay!

1.) All Suites:Ā YES, all of the rooms are suites or villas! We had a one bedroom suite, and it had a living room at the front with a desk, pull out sofa bed, and TV. Then there was a hallway with the bathroom, followed by the bedroom with a separate door. It was great to stretch out some, and also have some privacy from our daughter, especially since she goes to bed early. (Check out this reel for a quick video tour of our stay!)

2.) Breakfast Buffet:Ā We were obsessed with the breakfast buffet, Tropicale, and ate there every morning! They had SO many options, including a create your own omelette station. Fruit, pastries, hot items, you name it, they had it aaallll, and we ate it all, too! It’s also a beautiful restaurant with a fun vacation vibe, and the servers are so kind! There are several other places to eat as well, we just didn’t have time to check everything out.

3.) Pool:Ā The pool area was breathtaking, and yes, they even have a waterslide! There are also multiple hot tubs and a fun waterfall. Bonus, you can now rent a poolside cabana, which was SUCH a fun and amazing experience. We stayed all day and even ate an early dinner in our cabana from the poolside restaurant. It was the perfect way to relax.

4.) Playground:Ā Right next to our tower, there was a covered playground and kids splash pad. It was a great area for Emma Kate to run around in after being in the car all day. I loved how it was fenced in so I didn’t have to worry about her running off chasing something, and it’s right behind the pool and next to the fitness center. It seems like a small thing, but it was a nice touch that as a parent, I was really happy about! The day we spent at the pool, she would make new friends and they would play between the pool and playground which was nice for them to have options.

5.) Proximity:Ā The proximity to the Disney theme parks was huge for us, and they were SO CLOSE! We were literally at some of the parks in a faster time than we would be if we were staying at some of the on property hotels. This was such a huge perk and gave us more time to spend during the day having fun together.

We very much enjoyed our visit, and hope we get to go back again and experience the beauty of the hotel. It’s definitely on our top 5 list of faves, so don’t sleep on it if you are going to the Orlando area! Caribe Royale is top notch, and you won’t be disappointed.

šŸ–ļø I’m so thankful my parents took us on tr šŸ–ļø I’m so thankful my parents took us on trips growing up. When I was young, we didn’t have a lot of money, but they made every weekend getaway or camping trip special, and I have so many great memories. 

We may not have gotten to travel often until I was a teenager, but we still had a blast, and they even took us to a @spectrumresorts  property! (Ad)

As an adult, I am so grateful to be able to return the favor. To see them laugh and play with my daughter like they did with me. It’s one of those special full circle moments, those core memories that will stay with me forever. 🄹

Staying at @turquoiseplaceofficial makes things so easy, too. The condos are huge and we easily all fit without being on top of each other. There’s plenty to do with pools, a waterslide, lazy river, the beach, movie nights, kids activities, food, and more. ✨

It truly is the perfect place for a multigenerational vacation. So if you are looking for a great place to go with your parents, grandkids, aunts, uncles, or cousins, this is it. šŸ’–

We take her on these trips and cruises hoping she’ll soak in the adventure, the beauty, and maybe even the food from places different from where we live… but to her, nothing beats a corn dog and mac & cheese. šŸ§€ 

And honestly, that’s the best reminder for us, that joy doesn’t have to be fancy, it just has to be yours. šŸ›³āœØ

YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the kids menu, and singing ā€œLet it Goā€ with a butter knife while wearing Mickey ears on our Disney cruise. 🚢 

When I was 12, I was worried a lot… worried about failing, scared of what people would think of me, and of not fitting in or being ā€œcoolā€. 
I turned 40 this year and have been spending time trying to figure out exactly who I really am with all expectations stripped away. I don’t love the term ā€œfinding yourselfā€, but here I feel like it fits. ✨

Maybe finding yourself means going back to being 12.… and being myself without being scared. Heather at 12 would never believe this version of me… but I think she’d be proud. šŸ’›āœØ

Emma Kate turned 11 last month during our sailing and we did so many birthday things! She got a ton of ā€œhappy birthday’sā€ from crew and guests to make it extra special. ✨

We couldn’t think of a more fun place to celebrate that on Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas.

She started the day with presents, then hours and hours in the sun on the island, followed by cake and singing at dinner, the tween club, and fireworks at sea! (They were for pirate night but we said they were birthday fireworks!) 

Happy birthday to the most fierce, kind, competitive, loyal, funny, and beautiful little girl I know. 🩷 Never change who you are and stop growing up so fast! So. Blessed to have the best title there is, Emma Kate’s mom. šŸ’–
