This week Rachael and Rebecca and I are staying at Caribbean Beach Resort, which is one of the Disney World Moderate Resorts, and obviously has a beach theme.
This is our first time here, and we love it. It's very pretty and peaceful.
The mini-beach, complete with hammocks! |
We particularly like the hammocks on the beach area. The girls like to push each other in them, and I like to just lay there and look at how beautiful everything is. I saw a family with small children out here with little shovels and pails, which would have been a big hit when my kids were a little younger.
We're staying in "Jamaica" and unfortunately right now the bridge is closed for some reason. From Jamaica t's kind of a long walk around the bay to the main area (the entire walk around the bay is 1.25 miles), so most of the time we ride the boat.

Rebecca and I on the boat! |
Since Rebecca is only twelve, she had to wear a life jacket on the boat, which I thought was amusing since she is a much better swimmer than me and even a slightly better swimmer than Rachael.
I didn't take any photos of the pool, because I was too busy being in the pool, but it's very nice, with a pirate theme and two different water slides which are kind of inside an Spanish fort, complete with cannons.
There is also a smaller pool in "Jamaica," which is a lot closer and not as fancy, but very nice as well.
We've eaten a few times at Old Port Royale, the counter-service restaurant here, and I will write a separate post about that in a day or two.
One other note: Jamaica is the first bus stop at the resort, so we always got a seat on the way to the park. People at later stops, like Martinique and Barbados, often had to stand. So that was one little perk to staying in Jamaica.
