Top 5 things to do at and near Caribe Royale Orlando
From theme park adventures to wildlife encounters and epic “vacation living”, here are the top things you should do on your Orlando getaway
Orlando is the ultimate getaway for families, couples, and friends—and there’s no better place to stay than Caribe Royale Orlando. But with so much to do in the theme park capital of the world, you may be wondering where to start. Don’t worry. We’ve compiled our list of the top five things to do both at and near the resort.
1. Discover the magic of Walt Disney World® Resort
No Orlando vacation is complete without a visit to Walt Disney World® Resort. Composed of four theme parks—Magic Kingdom®, EPCOT®, Disney’s Hollywood Studios®, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom®—Walt Disney World® Resort is home to some of Disney’s most iconic attractions, including the new TRON Lightcycle Run, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge®, and Pandora - The World of Avatar. While each park offers thrilling rides, epic entertainment, fun dining, and character interactions, they differ in pace, themes, and experiences. For more insider tips and more information on the parks, check out our first-timers guide to Disney here.
Plus, when you stay at Caribe Royale Orlando, you get all the perks of staying at a Walt Disney World Good Neighbor® Hotel, including shuttle transportation to all four parks and the convenience of purchasing Theme Park Tickets in advance online or on-site at the concierge desk.
2. Soak up the sun with a relaxing pool day
Picture it now: You’re lounging poolside in a private cabana with a cool drink in hand, as the warm Florida sun shines and upbeat music plays in the background. Nothing tops a relaxing pool day while on vacation, and Caribe Royale has one of the best resort pools in Orlando. Our beautiful, island-inspired pool boasts towering waterfalls, a twisting 75’ water slide, and private cabanas for rent. Calypso’s Pool Bar & Grill serves delicious Caribbean-influenced small bites and plates and offers an extensive menu of refreshing frozen drinks and cocktails.
3. Enjoy dinner, live music, and epic shopping at Disney Springs®
Disney Springs® is an outdoor, one-of-a-kind entertainment center that features epic dining, shopping, and experiences. The sprawling promenade is composed of four distinct neighborhoods—The Landing, Marketplace, West Side, and Town Center—and offers more than 60 dining options and unique retail, including The LEGO® Store, Star Wars™ Trading Post, and the Dino-Store at T-REX™. Plus, Disney Springs® has daily entertainment, with live music at House of Blues and shows by Cirque du Soleil!
The best part? Disney Springs® is free to enter and does not require admission tickets. And when you stay at Caribe Royale Orlando, an evening shuttle to and from Disney Springs® is included in your stay.
4. Explore the wild side of Orlando
Orlando is more than theme parks, thrills, and over-the-top attractions. Central Florida is home to some of the most beautiful natural parks and wildlife preserves. From crystal clear springs to botanical gardens and Everglades tours, here are some of the top nature excursions to do around Orlando:
- Blue Spring State Park - About 45 minutes from downtown Orlando, Blue Spring State Park is home to crystal-clear natural springs that serve as a sanctuary for Florida manatees. Year round, visitors can walk along the turquoise pools or swim, paddle board, and kayak in the waterways.
- Harry P. Leu Gardens – A semi-tropical botanical oasis just minutes from downtown Orlando, the Harry P. Leu Gardens is a must-visit for flora enthusiasts and history buffs. The gardens span more than 50-acres and features dozens of native flowers, 200-year-old oak trees, Florida’s largest rose garden, and an interactive butterfly garden. Visitors can also tour the Leu House, a historic home reminiscent of turn-of-the-century Florida living.
- Everglades airboat tours – Orlando sits at the headwaters of the Florida Everglades, one of the largest savanna and wetland preserves in the United States. During your Orlando vacation, go on an airboat adventure through the “real Florida,” where you can cruise through the famous swamps, see exotic wildlife, and even encounter alligators.
5. Treat yourself to “vacation living”
Vacation is all about enjoying the little indulgences you don’t normally experience in your daily routine. Therefore, go full “vacation-mode” by treating yourself to amazing dinners, decadent desserts, hand-crafted cocktails, and pampering spa services. At Caribe Royale Orlando, you can experience the full Royale treatment.
- Have a sensational dinner at The Venetian Chop House, a premier AAA Four Diamond restaurant that sets the standard for fine dining in Orlando. With a newly reimagined menu featuring signature Venetian-cut steaks and chops, innovative takes on classic Italian dishes, and a symphony of wine selections, The Venetian Chop House will be a highlight of your Orlando vacation.
- Enjoy our famous Abuela Cruzita's Flan and handcrafted cocktails at Rum Bar, an immersive lounge experience that celebrates the spirits, flavors and heritage of Havana, Cuba.
- Unwind and decompress with relaxing spa treatments at Island Spa, our boutique spa offering custom massages, facials, and salon services.
