I've been reading mousesavers.com and have narrowed down our hotel to either the Doubletree Guest Suites in WDW or the Caribe Royale. Bedsides the DT being $30 more a night (and I think the bright rooms are prettier) I can't find much difference. I'd really like to know which one has the best kiddie pool, playground, arcade...

Any help is appreciated!!

We stayed at the Doubletree in Downtown Disney in 1997. It was very nice then. I think they've re-furbed it since then too. The pool was ample, and the kiddie pool was pretty much your normal, run of the mill kiddie pool. I don't know about the arcade because my son was only 2 at the time. However, I DO remember they gave us great chocolate chip cookies at check in! And, I thought the service was great. We forgot our DS's beloved "blankie" in the room, and we didn't discover it was missing until we got home (to PA). I called the Doubletree and they had found it, and sent it right back to us, no charge. They had even laundered it! LOL

I'm sorry I have no experience with the other hotel. Are they in the DTD area too? If I had my choice, I'd stay as close to WDW as I could!
