The largest resort on the Walt Disney World' Resort property is the Caribbean Beach Resort with 2112 rooms. The Caribbean Beach is spread out and divided into 5 villages named from Caribbean islands: Barbados, Jamaica, Martinique, Aruba, and Trinidad.
Each brightly colored village consists of clusters of 2-storey buildings with 64 guest rooms in each building. Soothing pastel structures capped with brightly colored roofs, accented by white railings, provide both a soothing and yet vibrant atmosphere to get guests into the spirit of the islands. The village of Martinique features sea blue with red and pink trim. Bronze structures topped with green roofs are found in Trinidad. Sunny yellow buildings with blue roofs are common to Jamaica and the guests of Aruba will be housed in pink and purple with teal roofs.
The villages surround a 42-acre lake. In the midst of the lake, you'll find Carribean Cay Island. As you meander along this 1 acre island on the nature trails, you will enjoy the peaceful, relaxing ambiance commonly found in the Caribbean. A large playground for the children is found here as well. The island is connected to the mainland by footbridges.

The food court had a good variety for breakfast, lunch and dinner but to be honest didn't eat much there other than breakfast, what hot food we did have was ok, we did love the pizza delivery to the room, but the sizes were enormose, we ordered 2 pizzas and couldn't finish the 1st.
One highlight was watching Epcots fireworks from the beach, with a cocktail in hand of course.
