Beyond a tropical flair, what sets this resort apart from others is the availability of themed accommodations. Standard rooms ($149 to $234 per night) sleep four, plus a crib sleeper under the age of three, and are located in six two-story island villages. Since 2008, most standard rooms have been refurbished in a "Finding Nemo" theme. The subtle design is a nice departure from the former flowery dÃÂécor and features images of tropical fish and fauna in bedcovers, wall borders and carpets. Pirate-themed rooms debuted in 2009 ($30 to $40 surcharge) and are outfitted in full privateer gear, from beds that look like Pirate ships to privacy curtains imprinted with skull and sword images.
Rooms located closest to Old Port Royale (Trinidad North and Martinique) are considered "preferred" accommodations and come with a $25 to $30 surcharge for convenience (yes, its definitely worth it), while Barbados and Trinidad South (the block where Pirate rooms are located) are furthest from the resort hub, leaving families with a choice of a Pirate experience or proximity.
All guest rooms feature two double beds or a king bed ($25 to $30 extra), a TV and high-speed Internet ($9.95 daily). A good-sized table with two chairs provides a comfortable spot for in-room dining, and in standard rooms, a storage bench with a back offers additional seating. In addition, rooms contain a coffeepot and a mini-refrigerator (non-locking) -- two items that aren't standard in Value category accommodations. A vanity area contains two sinks, as opposed to the one available at Value resorts, and a privacy curtain separates it from the bedroom, meaning part of your party can shower early while others sleep in (assuming they're not light sleepers). Complimentary Pack 'N Plays and bed rails can be delivered upon request, connecting rooms are available and parking in adjacent lots is free and convenient
If you want to see water, expect to pay $25 to $30 more. Although you can request a "lake" or a "pool" view, a specific outlook can't be guaranteed. A stroller is a must if you're traveling with a little one, given the resort's significant expanse, and if you're looking for expediency, a car is your best bet for travel to and from other resort hotels and the theme parks. If you plan to have a stroller, be kind to your back by requesting a ground floor accommodation, as there are no elevators.
