Pools

The Old Port Royale Pool by the main hall is the most popular of the seven pools and also one of the most famous in the entire Disney resort area. Created to resemble a Spanish colonial fort, the pool was used as the backdrop for one of the best Disney World attractions, Pirates of the Caribbean, and also as a setting in the blockbuster movie Pirates of the Caribbean. There are two pool side waterslides (one that extends to 80-feet), several cannons shooting water, and double spas accommodating twelve people each. A few steps away is a kid’s wet play area complete with a pouring bucket, squirt hoses, and three small water slides. Each of the village buildings also feature a moderately sized pool.

Dining

American fare is served up at the open-concept restaurant inside the main Old Port Royale with dishes like wings, jerk chicken and other meals with a Caribbean flare. The deli at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort offers breakfast items, deli sandwiches, soups and desserts. At the small market guests can grab fresh baked pastries to go or afternoon island fruit and ice cream treats. The resort’s food court provides the widest choice in options via five distinct food counters. If resort stays are arranged through vacation packages, there is often a dining plan included covering most dining options.
