The Caribe Royal Suites and Villas in Orlando, Florida, seeks to bring a little piece of Caribbean decadence and island flavor to the States. The sprawling 45-acre resort in the heart of Central Florida is covered in palm trees and bougainvillea, and boasts an enormous lagoon-style swimming pool with tropical landscaping, a thrilling water slide and two outdoor whirlpools. Island-style warmth is built into the three-story lobby, where the open roof and palm trees immediately let you know you are far from home. Choose from several levels of suite, including two-bedroom villas with a kitchen, living room and private balcony. Suites and villas are decorated with soothing taupe and beige, with elegant accents of burgundy and navy. Rooms are open and filled with light, accented by chandeliers. Relax poolside at Calypso’s with a burger and a margarita, or dine in opulence at the critically acclaimed Venetian Room.

Standout dining options include the pan-seared foie gras with smoked corn polenta and grilled mango fan, drizzled with balsamic vinegar, as well as the Maine lobster with hazelnut pheasant sausage, saffron risotto and white asparagus.
