Orlando is a great place for a vacation. As one of the premier destinations for families, there are many hotels that cater specifically to that market, making these nighttime destinations
resorts in and of themselves. However, there are also fun hotels for adults as well. From the elaborate free form pools and deckside entertainment to the indoor games and arcades, the fun hotels in Orlando exist in great number, each offer something different, but also offer a world-class lodging and entertainment experience.

Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort
Another great place for families is the Caribbean beach resort, located on the property of the Walt Disney World Resort. The hotel has six different villages, each with its own theme. They are fashioned after popular Caribbean locales such as: Jamaica, Martinique, Trinidad, Barbados, Aruba, Trinidad North and Trinidad South. The villages are located along Barefoot Bay, a freshwater lake with a white sand beach.
Near the center of the hotel complex is Old Port Royale, a facility holding retail stores, full-service restaurant and food court, all themed like an old Spanish fort. For kids who loved Pirates of the Caribbean, this hotel may be dream come true. Each villages has its own pool. Sailboats are available for the lake, as are pontoon boats. Bicycles can be rented as well. Further, as a guest of a Disney resort, you will get to spend extra hours at each theme park during times when they are not open to the general public.

The Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress
The Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress is everything its name suggests it would be. There are plenty of of activities for the kids. It is, after all, Orlando.

The hotel rooms are all clean and tastefully decorated. Further, multiple golf courses offer something for the sportsman to do. The free form pools, complete with waterfalls, are another big attraction. And for those who truly like the outdoors, there is also an equestrian center, offering rides in both English and Western tack. It is located just off of Disney property and convenient to all the major theme parks.
