Excellent getaway!

Beautiful room, friendly staff, choice of heated or non-heated pool, ocean steps from your door,restaurants nearby, boardwalk down the street, near enough Disney and other Florida attractions to drive to for the day, fairly quiet and peaceful; a good respite before getting back into the school year. Overall, it was better than I expected.

Great view/beach/room, not in party area

Nice hotel, rooms are not perfect but are fine. It's right on the beach, so you can go swimming in the ocean or in the hotel's pool. If you're looking to party, though, you're in the wrong area - it's pretty dead. All the bars, etc. are further north on A1A. Over all, I'd call it a good experience if you're fine with driving to the more interesting parts of town.

El Caribe Review

The El Caribe was quiet and tranquil. The rooms were spacious, clean, comfortable, and nicely updated. The staff was pleasant and although we didn't take advantage of it, it's nice that breakfast was available.

Fantastic location and a fantastic stay

While staying in Florida the only concern we had was to be at the beach. This hotel had great prices and was located directly on the beach. The front desk could have been a bit friendlier, but house keeping was a delight. House keeping was very respectful and friendly. They were eager to give extra towels when needed. Overall it was a great stay.

El Caribe - older hotel but well kept

El Caribe is a older hotel but is well kept. The view I had of the ocean was incredible and it was a quieter end of the beach, not to close to the Spring Break crowd. The front desk person for check in was very helpful. There is also wi-fi service and you don't need to sign up for to just access the service and jump on. 2 pools and a deck to lay on lounge chairs. There is also a volleyball net set up and some picnic tables and a grill. Free continental breakfast, no hot items.
